Did you know the Red Hat site reliability engineering (SRE) team has been managing Kubernetes at scale since 2015? We have more experience managing Kubernetes than most cloud providers. This commitment to proactively serving our customers has not only fostered our Kubernetes expertise, it’s given us the scale and efficiencies to restructure our pricing and pass these savings directly on to you. 

Today, we are announcing, along with Microsoft and IBM, significant price reductions for Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, Azure Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud, coupled with an improved SLA of 99.95% uptime. We have restructured our pricing options to make Red Hat OpenShift more flexible and accessible to our customers.

  • Azure Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud now have a new three-year pricing option and a $263/year per cluster fee (equivalent to $0.03/hour), with worker node price reductions of up to 79% per node with a minimum of two nodes. 
  • The infrastructure cost for Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on AWS and Google Cloud will not change, but the cost to add additional worker nodes to this subscription has been reduced by 50%.
