Containerization is a key enabling technology for flexibly delivering workloads to private and public clouds and DevOps. Among their many benefits, containers allow legacy applications to run in almost any host environment without being rewritten – an enormous advantage for enterprises with numerous applications, each composed of thousands of lines of code. To facilitate deployment of containerized workloads and development of new cloud-native applications, companies large and small are modernizing around platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift. IBM has developed a series of middleware tools called IBM Cloud Pak solutions designed to enhance and extend the functionality and capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift. The solutions include Cloud Pak for Data, Business Automation, Watson AIOps, Integration, Network Application, and Security, and give enterprises the fully modular and easy-to- consume capabilities they need to bring the next 80% of their workloads into modern, cloud-based environments.
