OpenShift 4.10, the latest version of Red Hat’s Kubernetes-based PaaS, offers support for AI workloads, additional cloud platforms including IBM Cloud and Alibaba Cloud, and Nvidia and Arm hardware.

OpenShift 4.10, released on March 22, 2022, aims to accelerate the delivery of “smart applications” in the hybrid cloud. OpenShift is now certified and supported by Nvidia AI Enterprise 2.0, a cloud-based artificial intelligence and data analytics software suite running on Nvidia platforms.

“By combining Nvidia and OpenShift, developers and data scientists can train models faster and create and deploy AI applications at scale,” Red Hat reports. Users can deploy OpenShift on Nvidia-certified systems with Nvidia Enterprise AI software, as well as on pre-supported Nvidia DGX A100 systems. OpenShift is also available from Nvidia LaunchPad Labs.

Trial versions of Red Hat OpenShift are available from redhat.com. OpenShift 4.10, based on Kubernetes 1.23, also provides support for cloud architectures and additional devices. Support for Available Installer Infrastructure (IPI) has been added for Microsoft Azure Stack Hub, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud, with the latest release in pre-release. Users can use the IPI process to install OpenShift 4 with a single click.

Support for OpenShift on Arm processors will be available in two ways: IPI for full stack automation of Amazon Web Services and user-provided for bare metal on existing infrastructure. Users get the same experience as with Red Hat OpenShift on AWS, powered by the latest Arm-based instances. OpenShift 4.10 also provides universal availability of sandbox containers, enabling payload isolation with strict application-level security requirements. This capability was introduced in OpenShift 4.8 as a technical preview last August.

Finally, OpenShift 4.10 includes Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance profiles for processing credit card information; With North American Electricity Corporation (NAERC CIP) Critical Infrastructure Protection requirements to secure North America’s massive power system; And FedRAMP is a medium-impact cloud security for federal government agencies.
