Description: This section will give you the resources to understand and learn what the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) is.

Let us start at the beginning: what is the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)?

RHOSP is a foundational platform to run private or public Infrastructure-as-a-service cloud on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RHOSP is packaged so that you can create private, public, or hybrid cloud platforms from your hardware.

The RHOSP IaaS cloud is implemented by a collection of interacting services that control its computing, storage, and networking resources. You can manage the cloud with a web-based interface to control, provision, and automate RHOSP resources in addition to an extensive API, also available to end users.

Advantages of the platform:

  • Create public, private, or hybrid clouds that you can scale up or down

  • Deploy cloud-enabled workloads

  • Address customer demands in hours or minutes instead of weeks or days

  • Implement stability and agility for your cloud environments, using hybrid cloud management, monitoring, and reporting with Red Hat CloudForms.
