Red Hat announced on the 20th that it will expand the availability of its open hybrid cloud portfolio on OCI. Under the expanded offering, RHEL will be available as a first-party product in the OCI Console, and key Red Hat products will be available for purchase on Oracle Marketplace.
As a result, OCI customers can now deploy pre-tuned RHEL images instantly on OCI public cloud. RHEL 9 and 10 images also support fully virtualized instances based on Intel and AMD processors, and customers can use performance profiles and compute configurations tailored to OCI infrastructure.
OCI integration has also been strengthened in terms of operational connectivity. RHEL instances connect directly to Oracle Integrated Monitoring Service, and also connect directly to OCI CLI, API, and the Console.
Red Hat plans to expand the scope of application to distributed cloud environments in the future. It also plans to provide a consistent operational foundation across the entire span from on-premises environments to OCI.
This expanded offering from Red Hat is focused on reducing management burdens caused by configuration differences across environments by enabling enterprises to use the same operating system across on-premises environments and OCI. It also aims to apply the same RHEL foundation to existing infrastructure and cloud environments to improve operational consistency in hybrid environments, while also envisioning the same RHEL foundation as a common base for AI workloads. The expansion will also be used to support workloads that require large-scale computing resources, including AI and machine learning.
OCI customers will also receive first-line technical support through Oracle Support. OCI customers can use Oracle Universal Credits to purchase RHEL for OCI. In addition, RHEL, Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization subscriptions, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform can be purchased on Oracle Marketplace.
Through this framework, enterprises can adopt Red Hat products in connection with their existing OCI investments. Based on this, they can also expand their hybrid cloud environments through the adoption of Red Hat products.
Beyond expanding purchase channels, the two companies are also strengthening technical integration between their products. Oracle AI Database 26ai has received full certification for RHEL 8, 9, and 10. Red Hat validation has been completed for deploying RAC based on Oracle Database 19c in an on-premises OpenShift Virtualization environment. Red Hat validation has also been completed for deploying RAC based on Oracle AI Database 26ai in an on-premises OpenShift Virtualization environment. Oracle WebLogic Server has also completed validation for running in an OpenShift Virtualization environment.
Based on these validations, enterprises can now operate existing virtual machines alongside cloud-native containers. This will allow enterprises to pursue application modernization.
Kevin Kennedy, vice president of Red Hat's Global Partner Ecosystem division, said that to respond to the complex challenges of the AI era, an open hybrid cloud foundation that can deliver both stability and speed is needed. He also said that the availability of RHEL as a first-party offering on OCI and the simplified purchasing process through Oracle Marketplace will support modernization regardless of where customers' workloads are located.
