How to achieve innovation through Red Hat OpenShift cloud services?

The traditional dilemma of how to save time and resources for companies to innovate, when they invest most of them "keeping the lights on", becomes more critical when talking about the new cloud environments and cloud-native applications that organizations across all verticals are driving to be competitive.

According to a McKinsey survey from some years ago, almost 70% of the best performing companies, compared to only half of their peers, use their own software to differentiate themselves from competitors. One-third of these high-performing companies monetize software directly. More and more traditional companies are realizing that, in order to compete and grow in a digital world, they must look, think and act like software companies.

Of course, the infrastructure needed to support the flexible and scalable development and provision of this software in a multi-cloud context, is highly time-consuming for IT staff and specialized resources. The old dilemma between spending time and resources “to keep the lights on” The new approach to the search for new initiatives is taking on a new meaning, based on cloud-native architectures and the increasingly frequent use of containers (Kubernetes).

To manage or to be managed?

Red Hat OpenShift started as a cloud container orchestration tool, but over time it was incorporating new capabilities to become a unified platform for the design and delivery of cloud-native applications, in complex contexts that span hybrid and multicloud environments.

The good news is that there are now deployment options, like managed cloud service, that relieve organizations from managing that infrastructure.
