Red Hat has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to expand the availability of its open-source solutions in AWS Marketplace. The partnership focuses on helping organizations modernize applications, migrate virtual machines (VMs), and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) workloads using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) and Red Hat OpenShift AI. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization will also be integrated more deeply into AWS infrastructure, allowing customers to streamline VM migrations and optimize workloads for hybrid cloud environments.
To address challenges such as rising infrastructure costs and increasing demands for AI-driven innovation, Red Hat will provide customers with enhanced capabilities to migrate both VMs and containerized workloads to the cloud. The initiative includes bolstered support for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, enabling businesses to run OpenShift Virtualization seamlessly on AWS environments, including support for Windows virtualized workloads. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift will operate as a self-managed option on AWS EC2 bare-metal instances, giving organizations more flexibility to deploy modern workloads while reducing reliance on traditional hypervisors.
Red Hat is also scaling its AI offerings with solutions like RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift AI in AWS Marketplace. These platforms now include features like private offers, support for NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and compatibility with AMD and Intel GPUs. These advancements aim to provide organizations with ready-to-use AI capabilities that integrate with AWS services for scalable deployment.
