== Use cases
|
|
|
|
Red Hat OpenShift is widely adopted across industries to support various use cases, enabling organizations to modernize applications, optimize infrastructure, and enhance operational efficiency.
|
|
|
|
OpenShift virtualization::
|
|
|
|
* Provides a unified platform for managing virtual machines (VMs) and containers in parallel, which streamlines operations and reduces complexity.
|
|
* Provides a robust infrastructure to scale VM workloads efficiently.
|
|
* Provides enhanced security features to protect VM environments, ensuring compliance and data integrity.
|
