We’re pleased to announce the general availability of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.7. This release includes many enhancements as a result of the combined effort of our entire team to help customers carve their path to the hybrid cloud.
Here are the highlights of the release:
Security is always a top priority for enterprise organizations and we’re no different. Our policy framework is at the forefront of our commitment to helping make managed clusters as secure as possible. In light of this, several aspects of the governance capabilities were improved:
With this new release we have expanded the number of clusters that can be managed within the platform up to 3,500 distributed units at the edge. Monitoring these clusters is crucial to ensuring your investment is running optimally: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management Observability allows not only the ability to get cluster health information, but also the ability to monitor and pull metrics from user-defined projects and applications. This capability is Tech Preview with 2.7.
The strength of the Red Hat OpenShift portfolio is what makes Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management stronger. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management is part of OpenShift Platform Plus, which includes Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes, Red Hat Quay, and Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation essentials. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management 2.7 and OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced include MetroDR, which is now generally available for disaster recovery scenarios, ensuring workload high availability with zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO). In addition, customers are now able to call out not only Ansible Jobs, but also Ansible Workflows, and labeled and tag-based plays. This means deeper customization for greater operations efficiency.
Other enhancements
