Red Hat OpenShift has been the dominant choice for platform engineering and DevOps teams that require a security-centric approach to containerized workloads in cloud-native architectures. Its powerful security-hardening features and reliable container orchestration capabilities make it a strong platform for securely deploying and managing applications at scale. StackGen now includes OpenShift as a deployment option within the StackGen platform.
StackGen allows users to simplify and streamline OpenShift adoption while ensuring governance at scale. This integration enables teams to accelerate deployments, improve governance, and ultimately reduce time-to-market for the applications. Let’s dive into how this synergy can accelerate your OpenShift experience.
Platform engineers and DevOps professionals on the OpenShift platform are tasked with a dual challenge: deploying applications rapidly and managing infrastructure to meet governance, security, and compliance standards. The Infrastructure from Code paradigm fundamentally rethinks infrastructure automation by allowing teams to generate infrastructure based on code: application code, statefiles, or existing templates. Instead of writing complex infrastructure configurations from scratch, StackGen enables your code to define, update, and manage the infrastructure automatically.
This approach is particularly beneficial for OpenShift users by reducing the need for handcrafting and maintaining complex Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scripts, making infrastructure processes faster and easier to govern. StackGen’s integration with OpenShift empowers platform engineers with increased flexibility and governance control, both of which are key to successful, large-scale OpenShift adoption.
Deployment speed is critical to staying competitive, especially when launching and managing applications on a high-velocity platform like OpenShift. Here’s how StackGen can accelerate deployment on OpenShift:
Infrastructure from Cloud: StackGen translates IaC for one cloud provider to that for another and can generate IaC for manually configured resources, simplifying multi-cloud transitions. This flexibility allows OpenShift teams to manage infrastructure in hybrid or multi-cloud setups efficiently, reducing dependency on single-cloud setups.
Governance at scale is a core requirement for any DevOps or platform engineering team managing OpenShift deployments. Scaling application deployments in an OpenShift environment can become a balancing act between innovation velocity and security, where missteps can lead to security or compliance gaps. StackGen empowers teams to enforce governance policies as infrastructure resources are created, letting platform engineers adopt OpenShift confidently and securely.
Time to market can be a differentiator, especially for OpenShift users deploying applications in competitive markets. With StackGen, platform engineers and DevOps professionals can deploy applications to production faster, focusing more on innovation and less on the infrastructure setup and compliance.
OpenShift users can move past the complexities of IaC and toward a simplified, automated approach with StackGen. OpenShift users can now deploy, and scale infrastructure to speed up deployments and enforce governance with ease. StackGen’s solution for OpenShift lets you build applications confidently, knowing your infrastructure will scale, comply, and innovate alongside you.
Whether you’re migrating legacy applications to OpenShift or looking to build new ones, StackGen is here to streamline your journey. Ready to accelerate your OpenShift adoption and reduce your time-to-market? Get in touch.
