Red Hat & Oracle expand hybrid cloud capabilities on OCI
Red Hat and Oracle have announced an expanded collaboration focused on expanding hybrid cloud capabilities, including the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and enhanced interoperability with Oracle applications and services. The partnership enables customers to access a more consistent, cloud-native foundation by extending Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift support across more Oracle deployment options, including government, sovereign and distributed cloud environments. Red Hat and Oracle highlighted the rising importance of hybrid cloud adoption, referencing a Gartner prediction that "90% of organizations will adopt a hybrid cloud approach through 2027, and the most urgent GenAI challenge necessary to address over the next year will be data synchronization across the hybrid cloud environment." The companies stated: "This makes the seamless availability of critical software across hybrid cloud environments a paramount need." The expanded support covers a range of security-sensitive and regulated computing environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift now provide validated configurations for OCI, making them available for high-security government clouds and sovereign deployments that must comply with regional mandates. Red Hat OpenShift is now certified to run on OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer, and Oracle Private Cloud Appliance. This extends OpenShift's presence to a wider array of Oracle's cloud offerings. OCI customers can now operate Red Hat Enterprise Linux on both OCI Dedicated Region Cloud and Oracle Alloy. These services enable delivery of OCI's portfolio of over 200 artificial intelligence and cloud services within a customer's own datacentres. Oracle Alloy also allows customers to act as cloud providers by reselling OCI services to their end users. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift now supports OCI Compute bare metal instances equipped with NVIDIA A100 and H100 GPUs. This capability increases the available options for organisations engaged in artificial intelligence and machine learning workload development, providing high-performance model training and inference facilities. Oracle has also started validating key Oracle applications and software—including Oracle WebLogic Server—to run as containers on Red Hat OpenShift. This initiative aims to create a jointly supported customer experience designed to unlock the potential of Oracle software running on the scalability and flexibility of Red Hat OpenShift, both on premises and in the cloud. The Oracle Cloud Scale Monetization portfolio, which includes a billing and revenue management suite, is now validated for Red Hat OpenShift. This is expected to provide communications service providers with greater infrastructure flexibility by enabling deployment of business support systems on OpenShift. Oracle Database, including Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), remains certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat has also launched a validation project focused on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, supporting organisations that wish to deploy Oracle Database on OpenShift. Red Hat stated that it would review supported and common on-premises configurations, and offer guidance for deploying Oracle Database—including Oracle RAC where applicable—on OpenShift Virtualization.
