Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus builds on the capabilities of the leading enterprise Kubernetes platform, Red Hat OpenShift, to provide a consistent way to secure, protect, and manage applications throughout the software life cycle across clusters. It provides a complete Kubernetes stack out of the box, bringing together everything needed to build, deploy and run nearly any application wherever OpenShift runs.
Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus includes:
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, a complete set of services that helps developers code applications with speed while providing flexibility and efficiency for IT operations teams.
- Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes, to help secure software supply chains, infrastructure and workloads.
- Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes, for end-to-end visibility, management and control of Kubernetes clusters across a hybrid and multicloud environment.
- Red Hat Quay, to provide a global, scalable and more secure container registry for a consistent build pipeline that spans infrastructures.
The platform’s key benefits and differentiators from other PaaS offerings include:
- Consistent user experience across hybrid infrastructure. Regardless of where Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus is installed, the interface remains uniform for both administrators and developers. That consistency improves usability and reduces friction when deploying applications across mixed infrastructures.
- Built with everything you need. Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus includes the components you need to deploy your applications from the moment it is installed. Red Hat provides access to the capabilities you need out of the box, or you can continue to use the tools that have already been established in your organization and integrate those with Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus.
- Built-in security across the entire application lifecycle. Extends OpenShift’s already robust security and compliance capabilities with additional tools including Kubenetes-native security capabilities for organizations that have unique, complex security requirements that vary across applications.
- End-to-end management and observability. Applies consistent operational policies for security, configuration, compliance, and governance to Kubernetes clusters across on-premise and cloud infrastructure.
- Breadth of independent software vendor (ISV) partnerships. Red Hat is committed to building the vendor relationships that customers need.

As AI technologies become increasingly accessible thanks to advancements in the field and in cloud-native application development, Turkcell set out to build a flexible, more secure cloud platform to accelerate AI and associated intelligent applications delivery.
Turkcell is now running around 50 different services on the OpenShift-based platform to support a diverse range of AI-powered use cases. With its scalable AI platform architecture based on Red Hat OpenShift, use of microservices and adoption of agile practices including DevSecOps, Turkcell has been able to accelerate its application lifecycle, including speeding up development and deployment of AI and machine learning (ML) models. Turkcell can now bring new digital services to market in roughly half the time it could with a monolithic architecture.
Some key benefits of Tuckcell’s adoption of Red Hat OpenShift include:
- Created responsive infrastructure to deliver innovative AI applications faster and cut provisioning times from months to seconds
- Reduced AI development and operations costs by 70%
- Created inclusive data science platform
