This solution offers consistent, software-defined storage for stateful applications using company’s Gluster Storage with OpenShift Container Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

As more enterprises deploy containers in production – and with many of them using OpenShift Container Platform – the need for a dynamic, consistent storage platform that works across operating environments becomes vital for containerized applications, an area where many traditional storage appliances fall short. The company’s vision is to enable customers to build any application and to deploy them consistently across any footprint. With this news, the firm is expanding the availability of Gluster Storage for OpenShift Container Platform in AWS environments, helping to enable portability of containerized applications with consistent storage.

Gluster Storage is software-defined storage integrated with and optimized for OpenShift Container Platform, a comprehensive Kubernetes-based platform for cloud-native application development. Gluster Storage can be deployed anywhere OpenShift Container Platform runs – across bare metal, containers, VMs, and private and public clouds – offering consistent storage for users and developers of containerized applications. In addition, storage provisioning and deployment is automated by OpenShift Container Platform, offering self-service access to developers and users.

Company’s solution for OpenShift Container Platform 3.5 with Gluster Storage 3.2 on AWS is detailed in a detailed reference architecture.

In addition, the firm offers an ‘Ansible Playbook’ for constructing a OpenShift Container Platform cluster on AWS with container-native Gluster Storage to help customers become operational more quickly.

Ranga Rangachari, VP and GM, storage, Red Hat, said: “Today’s developers and users want elastic storage capacity to be available in multiple environments, and they can’t afford to be distracted by the operational realities. This solution enables smooth application transition across cloud boundaries, allowing for greater flexibility and agility. We hope to be able to enable customers to use Red Hat Gluster Storage with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform on other public clouds in the future.
