IDC interviewed Red Hat partners who reported that certifying their software with Red Hat has a significant and positive impact on their businesses and improves overall efficiencies around development. Here are a few takeaways from the paper:

  • 49% higher revenue for software certified by Red Hat helps justify your development on Red Hat platforms.

Today, your Linux containers are not really portable - you have to build one for each destination platform. Until now. The new Red Hat Universal Base Images enable you to build your container ONCE and freely redistribute it to multiple deployment platforms - whether Red Hat or not. Read more about UBI below, or visit the Red Hat container tools topic.

In this brief video, Red Hat's Scott McCarty demonstrates Red Hat Universal Base Images by creating a container image on Fedora, then deploying it on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Why Certify?

Certifying your product means:

Technology

All components are confirmed to be from a trusted source and the underlying packages have not been altered.

Technology

Container images are free of known platform component vulnerabilities.

Technology

New vulnerabilities are promptly addressed through the Continuous Build Service - important for CI/CD environments.

Technology

Software can be deployed across Red Hat footprints — from bare metal to cloud.

Technology

Applications are published in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog; Operators in OpenShift Operator Hub.

Technology

The complete stack is commercially supported by Red Hat and your company via TSANet.
