Red Hat has expanded red Hat cloud services by adding new components to help the development of hybrid applications such as Service Registry, plus middleware and made it easy to link it to cloud database services and support the OpenShift application.

Red Hat senior vice president, Ashesh Badani said, “ Customers need solutions that eliminate complexity in their hybrid environments, enabling their application infrastructure to be more resilient, manageable, and observable.” The new cloud services come with some new updates to the existing components of the Cloud Services portfolio. The company said that the idea is to appeal to organizations that are struggling to build applications for a hybrid cloud environment due to technical complexities.

Red Hat OpenShift Database Access is for the developers and it provides a consistent interface for database-as-a-service (DBaaS) facilities offered by cloud providers. It enables an OpenShift administrator to provide and manage the multiple third party database services. This makes these connections available “on the shelf” within the OpenShift environment and it becomes easy for developers to pull it into applications.

Red Hat OpenShift Service Registry is the second addition and is completely hosted and managed registry service for OpenShift API Management. It allows developers to publish and reuse artifacts such as APIs and schemas to avoid duplication. The third addition is Red Hat OpenShift Connectors that has a collection of over 50 pre built connectors for different applications and services like Salesforce, Amazon S3 and SQL server.
