Percona Everest now deployable on Red Hat OpenShift

Percona has officially announced that its cloud-native database platform, Percona Everest, now supports deployment on Red Hat OpenShift, a hybrid cloud application platform driven by Kubernetes.

Percona Everest's capability to be deployed on Red Hat OpenShift enables users to select their preferred database and location, whether in on-premise data centres, public cloud, or hybrid cloud environments. 

Ann Schlemmer, Chief Executive Officer of Percona, commented, "Companies want to get the best of cloud-native technologies for their developers and IT operations teams. But they don't want to give up control over their destinies in the future. The combination of Red Hat OpenShift and Percona Everest links our work around open source databases with an open application platform for deployments based on Kubernetes, which delivers up a whole technology stack based on open source."

Schlemmer continued, "Working together, Percona and Red Hat will help companies improve their developer productivity and infrastructure automation while keeping those stacks open. For platform engineering teams, this collaboration helps them solve some of the big issues around managing data for their developers."

Percona Everest's integration with Red Hat OpenShift allows for the automated provisioning and management of databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, within a central multi-cloud user interface. Users can effortlessly deploy and configure instances that align with their deployment environments, whether private or hybrid clouds, to satisfy data sovereignty norms.

The combination of these technologies facilitates organisations to adhere to specific geo-location data requirements while also offering a cloud-like automated experience. Percona and Red Hat's partnership targets developers and data professionals who are keen on managing how their environments are deployed without sacrificing the convenience and automation associated with cloud services.

Penny Philpot, Vice President, Ecosystems EMEA at Red Hat, stated, "Red Hat OpenShift is the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. Linking up Red Hat OpenShift's ability to streamline infrastructure operations and security alongside Percona's database management and automation expertise allows customers to achieve their goals using an open source approach. Working together, Red Hat and Percona help customers to build their cloud environments and manage their data more efficiently and stay in control of their technology choices."

Percona Everest is designed to facilitate multi-cloud and on-premise deployments, ensuring redundancy and high availability while meeting data sovereignty requirements. It offers a user-friendly interface to streamline management across various storage locations and configurations, with Percona Monitoring and Management providing insights into database performance and operations.

The platform simplifies 'day two' operational tasks such as business continuity, high availability, and disaster recovery, enabling users to implement these functions with minimal resource allocation.
