Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-grade container management platform that supports on-premises data centers, major public clouds and the edge. The platform is designed for platform engineers and operations teams, and it manages containers, virtual machines (VMs) and AI workloads in an integrated way.
The Gartner report evaluated vendors based on container management capabilities, overall strategy and cloud native execution. On that basis, Gartner cited Red Hat OpenShift's Kubernetes-based flexibility and its ability to provide a comprehensive container management ecosystem as strengths of Red Hat.
Red Hat supports consistency across both self-managed environments and fully managed cloud services. These include Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud, and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud.
Red Hat continues to unveil platform-native innovations aimed at meeting changing enterprise demand, simplifying operations and accelerating AI adoption in production environments.
Against this backdrop, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is presented as a core feature of Red Hat OpenShift. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enterprises can run containerized applications and virtualized workloads in parallel, and they can also migrate containerized applications and virtualized workloads.
IT teams can also manage VMs and containers through a single operational pipeline. The scope spans data centers as well as public clouds such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and Oracle Cloud.
Mike Barrett, vice president at Red Hat, said that the industry's recurring question of why containers matter is resurfacing as a key topic this year and next year. He said that without lightweight containers combined with cloud native application patterns based on agile and DevSecOps principles, the IT industry lacks the speed needed to deploy code changes to production environments.
Red Hat OpenShift also has a track record of being named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Native Application Platforms.
