Red Hat, Inc. announced the general availability of Azure Red Hat OpenShift on Microsoft Azure for Government, bringing together one of the industry�s leading enterprise Kubernetes platform and the power and scale of Microsoft Azure to U.S. government agencies. With Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Azure Government, agencies can now build and deploy applications in a dedicated cloud tailored to address stringent federal security and compliance requirements for highly-sensitive workloads.

Launched in 2019, Azure Red Hat OpenShift was the first co-developed, jointly-operated Red Hat OpenShift service on the public cloud, offering a powerful on-ramp to the hybrid cloud by extending the same enterprise-grade Kubernetes used in private datacenters to the scale of Microsoft Azure. Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Azure Government brings the benefits of the service to public sector organizations that require strict levels of IT security and data management.

�U.S. Government agencies house some of the world�s most highly-sensitive data but are also under increased pressure to modernize services to meet the expectations of their stakeholders. Red Hat is committed to providing hybrid cloud solutions that enable agencies to deliver capabilities faster while reducing risk. With Azure Red Hat OpenShift, agencies are able to focus on delivering cloud-native innovation all while meeting the stringent requirements of sensitive workloads,� said Christopher Smith, vice president and general manager of the North America Public Sector at Red Hat.
