Red Hat announced Red Hat Service Interconnect, simplifying application connectivity and security across platforms, clusters and clouds.

Based on the open source project, Skupper.io, Red Hat Service Interconnect empowers developers to create trusted connections between services, applications and workloads across environments without requiring complex network reconfigurations or elevated security privileges.

Red Hat Service Interconnect helps solve cross-platform and multi-cloud communication challenges by enabling developers to add trusted, resilient connectivity between applications running on any Kubernetes cluster, virtual machine or bare-metal host. These connections can stretch across any infrastructure environment, from on-premises datacenters to the edge and public cloud. As a result, developer teams can more quickly connect applications without needing elevated privileges or advanced networking skills, resulting in increased application development velocity while maintaining compliance with security requirements.

Customers seeking to modernize existing applications to cloud-native architectures, or migrate their applications across infrastructure platforms or between cloud providers can use Red Hat Service Interconnect as part of their hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. Red Hat Service Interconnect reduces application downtime by allowing application connections to be migrated transparently between source and destination platforms, enabling centralized compliance and risk management while creating operational efficiencies for application and network teams.

Red Hat Service Interconnect is generally available.
