If you’re already running Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), you know you have a strong foundation for containerised applications. But as your organisation grows — more teams, more clusters, more complexity — the question isn’t just “Can I run containers?” but “Can I run them at scale, securely, and across clouds and edge without chaos?”
That’s where OpenShift Platform Plus comes in. No need to rip out your existing clusters or start from scratch: it’s designed to upgrade seamlessly.
Security isn’t an after‑thought—it needs to weave into your entire pipeline. With Platform Plus you get tools like Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes to scan everything from build‑time through runtime, helping you catch vulnerabilities, enforce compliance and automate remediation.
You also gain a private container registry via Red Hat Quay with continuous image scanning and access auditing.
In short: you move from “we deployed containers and hope it’s safe” to “we have a platform where security is baked in”.
As your footprint expands—on‑premises, multiple clouds, edge sites—it becomes harder to maintain visibility, governance and operations across all clusters. Platform Plus integrates Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (ACM) to provide a single console: provisioning, deploying apps, applying policies, monitoring health.
For platform teams, that means less overhead, fewer tools to stitch together, and more time focusing on delivering value rather than firefighting cluster sprawl.
Many organisations have containers for stateless apps—but real business value often lies in stateful workloads: databases, data‑platforms, data services, edge‑analytics. Platform Plus includes Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF), which delivers software‑defined storage integrated into your OpenShift clusters: snapshots, backups, multisite recovery.
The benefit? Your dev teams can build stateful apps without stitching external storage platforms; your ops team gains standardised storage behaviour across clusters and locations.
Developers don’t want to fight infrastructure—they want to ship features. Platform Plus streamlines the dev experience by bringing security, data services and management into one cohesive workflow. You get integrated pipelines (via Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines), GitOps workflows (via Red Hat OpenShift GitOps), with security scanning and governance built in.
For example: one customer reported moving from 3‑4 deployments per month to multiple releases each day — with zero downtime.
If you’re running a platform intended to empower devs, Platform Plus helps remove friction, boost throughput and maintain guardrails.
Hybrid cloud, multi‑cloud and edge deployments are now the norm—not the exception. Each environment introduces differences: networking, storage, security, tooling. Platform Plus gives you the same experience across all these environments—same platform, same tools, same security posture.
That consistency matters for operations, compliance and developer productivity. It reduces “works locally but fails in the cloud” scenarios and enables smoother application mobility.
Your platform needs to be future‑proof. Whether you’re diving into AI/ML, modernising legacy apps, running VMs and containers side‑by‑side, Platform Plus has you covered. It offers GPU/resource scheduling for model training, AI‑ready tooling (such as Red Hat OpenShift Lightspeed virtual assistant) and VM support via Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization so you can run traditional workloads alongside containers.
Essentially: you’re not locked into just “cloud‑native containers” — you gain a unified platform bridging new and existing workloads.
If your organisation is still early on — a couple of teams, one cluster, minimal complexity — you may be fine with OCP alone. But when your reality includes multiple teams, many clusters, hybrid/edge environments, stateful workloads, and you’re chasing faster release cycles while maintaining governance and security — upgrading to Platform Plus becomes a smart move.
In other words: When your platform needs have outgrown “basic container platform” and you’re chasing enterprise‑scale operations, Platform Plus provides the toolkit.
If you’re running OpenShift and asking, “What’s next?”, upgrading to Platform Plus deserves a serious look. It’s positioned as the bridge from “we run containers” to “we run a modern, enterprise‑scale application platform.” By integrating security, data services, cluster resilience, consistent operations and support for modern/legacy workloads, you gain a platform built for velocity and stability.
