Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Microsoft Azure Government Released
February 08, 2023

Red Hat announced the general availability of Azure Red Hat OpenShift on Microsoft Azure for Government, bringing together its enterprise Kubernetes platform and the power and scale of Microsoft Azure to US 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.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Azure Government provides a turnkey application platform designed to support how US government agencies work in a digital world. The service provides agencies with greater confidence in the access controls around their data, that the location of the data meets regulatory controls and their ability to address known security vulnerabilities with applicable fixes.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Azure Government includes key IT security and regulatory certifications, including:

- FedRAMP High Authorization
- ITAR
- DFARS
- IRS 1075
- CJIS

Additionally, as a managed cloud service, Azure Red Hat OpenShift enables organizations to get started innovating within minutes. Agencies are able to streamline modernization efforts and focus on providing value for their end users rather than maintaining complex underlying infrastructure. Azure Red Hat OpenShift can be purchased through Microsoft with the ability to use Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment funds - further simplifying procurement for agencies.

Azure Red Hat OpenShift for Azure. Government is now generally available.
