Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 delivers a cloud platform built on the enterprise-grade backbone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Integrated with Red Hat’s hardened OpenStack community code, Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the agility to scale and more quickly meet customer demand without compromising availability, performance, or IT security requirements. Also included in Red Hat OpenStack Platform is Red Hat CloudForms, a hybrid cloud management and monitoring platform to oversee not only OpenStack infrastructure components but also the workloads running on a given OpenStack cloud. Additionally, 64 TBs of storage capacity is provided with Red Hat Ceph Storage.
New enhancements to Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 include:
+A more streamlined user experience driven by an easier-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) reduces the complexities of installation and management.

+A more streamlined user experience driven by an easier-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) reduces the complexities of installation and management.
+Greater scalability through the introduction of customisable services and administration roles using Red Hat OpenStack Platform director.
+Greater data assurance through new security-related enhancements, such as improved high availability (HA) for large scale deployments. Additionally, optional object storage encryption and ephemeral security tokens improve security measures.
+Improved performance for network-intensive workloads that is comparable to bare metal.
+A new “ready state” hardware certification programme, based on OpenStack Ironic. Dell EMC is the first Red Hat partner to be certified for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 ready-state, with several more coming soon.
Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 also introduces distributed continuous integration (DCI) to key partners, such as Dell EMC, NEC, and Rackspace. This collaborative approach to testing can help partners more effectively prepare for new Red Hat OpenStack Platform releases, and provide customers with greater stability and higher quality cloud solutions that have been tested many times over with their uniquely integrated cloud system than previously offered
Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 also introduces a new dual support lifecycle model, with optional support up to five years. This new model gives customers the option of standardising on a new 'Long Life' version of Red Hat OpenStack Platform, offering a three-year product lifecycle and an optional additional two years of extended lifecycle (ELS) support available for purchase. Customers can also choose to focus on consuming new feature functionality by using rolling upgrades to follow the latest releases of Red Hat OpenStack Platform every six months to one year.
Long Life versions of Red Hat OpenStack Platform will be offered every third release, starting with Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10. Versions in between will include one year of lifecycle support.
Radhesh Balakrishnan, GM, OpenStack, Red Hat said, “In just a few short years, OpenStack has moved from simply being an ‘innovation’ for proofs-of-concept and research and development (R&D) testbeds to a foundation for mission-critical private cloud deployments, used by hundreds of enterprises and major telecommunication providers alike to power production operations. Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 drives the enterprise-readiness of OpenStack by delivering a stable, reliable and open foundation for cloud deployments, delivering new innovations like composable services and roles while retaining our commitment to enterprise stability, highlighted by our new Long Life support model.”
Lew Tucker, VP, Cloud CTO, Cisco added, “As one of Red Hat's most committed OpenStack partners, Cisco works closely with Red Hat and the community to drive industry-leading cloud technology platforms, better enabling our enterprise and service provider customers to gain the benefits of an open cloud computing platform. Based on the latest Newton OpenStack release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 provides significant improvements in networking performance, stability, and scalability. We look forward to helping our customers to succeed on their journey to hybrid cloud.”
Jim Ganthier, Senior VP, Validated Solutions and High Performance Computing (HPC), Dell EMC Converged Platforms and Solution Division noted, “Dell EMC and Red Hat’s close engineering and collaboration efforts continue to help our joint customers to quickly deploy and manage OpenStack powered clouds. We are pleased to have worked closely with Red Hat to both refine and build the new distributed continuous integration partner testing process which accelerates both code testing, validation and the ability to deliver robust software to customers. Red Hat’s new OpenStack Platform 10 lifecycle model for support will also offer more subscription flexibility for mission-critical operations and strengthens our joint ability to support customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their OpenStack deployments.”
Kenji Kaneshige, Director of development department, Linux Development Division, Fujitsu commented, “Fujitsu and Red Hat have been working together over 10 years in open source software development and successfully supported mission critical/enterprise workloads. And now Fujitsu works hand-in-hand with Red Hat to drive several features needed by global enterprises in the upstream OpenStack project. We are so pleased to see the upstream development results delivering a more efficient and advanced cloud infrastructure-as-a-service through (the) Fujitsu Integrated System PRIMEFLEX Family.”
Bryan Thompson, GM, OpenStack Private Cloud, Rackspace said, "The developments included in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10 make it faster and easier for our customers and partners to adopt OpenStack. Forrester Research recently reported that more than half of all Fortune 100 companies use OpenStack, which means these deployments must be scalable, agile and intuitive. The new platform from Red Hat delivers improved performance capabilities and deeper integration with the latest Community projects and code. All of that, combined with support from Rackspace, means enterprise customers using Rackspace Private Cloud Powered by Red Hat will have even more confidence in OpenStack for their managed cloud needs."
