F5 and Red Hat partner closely to automate, scale, and secure application workloads across multi-cloud environments. In fact, F5 is the recommended ADC solution for customers using Red Hat Kubernetes and DevOps solutions.
So, how does the Red Hat and F5 partnership benefit your organization?
Red Hat and F5 work together to develop products and technologies that help your organization:
Red Hat’s OpenShift Container Platform enables the provisioning and deployment of an application infrastructure to support development architectures. You can seamlessly plug in BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) into the OpenShift Container Platform, laying the groundwork for advanced application delivery.
Simplify orchestration and configuration management of network devices across cloud environments. Ansible’s agentless architecture doesn’t require that you install additional software on BIG-IP devices. And it automates every stage of the deployment process—from licensing through application deployment.
The combination of F5 Advanced WAF and OpenShift provides your organization with a comprehensively secure application environment. As apps increasingly make full use of APIs for automation and configuration changes, securing APIs is an essential for any IT organization. F5 and OpenShift ’s integrated solution provide that functionality.
Organizations can use F5 virtual network functions (VNFs) in combination with Red Hat OpenStack for their service provider clouds. F5 BIG-IP products are available as VNFs that can connect to 40 Gbps per instance.
