Red Hat OKD

One of the bigger tech stories in recent years has been IBM’s $34 billion acquisition of Red Hat. Ever since, IBM executives have touted Red Hat OpenShift as the cornerstone of its near-term growth strategy. And powering OpenShift is the open source Red Hat OKD, a distribution of Kubernetes for continuous application development and multi-tenant deployment.

In March, Red Hat held a testing and deployment workshop to discuss the latest updates for OKD 4, including CodeReady Containers and dedicated operator SDKs.

In January, Red Hat struck a deal to buy StackRox, a developer of container and Kubernetes-native security that Red Hat will use to boost the security capabilities of OpenShift.
