RALEIGH, N.C., April 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Percona, a global leader in enterprise-grade open source database software and services, today announced that Percona Everest now supports deployment on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. The combination of Everest as a cloud-native database platform with Red Hat OpenShift allows users to implement their choice of database in their choice of locations – from on-premise data center environments through to public cloud and hybrid cloud deployments.
“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,” said Ann Schlemmer, CEO of Percona. “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.”
Combining Percona Everest and Red Hat OpenShift for an open tech stack
Percona Everest delivers automated provisioning and management of multiple databases within a single, intuitive, multi-cloud user interface. Users can create and manage instances of MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL automatically and pre-configured to use the most appropriate settings for where those instances are deployed. By providing support for Red Hat OpenShift, users can implement a full technology stack that will run in private cloud and hybrid environments.
This combination ensures that organizations can implement in their local data center or in specific locations to meet data sovereignty requirements. With more pressure to meet regulations and control where data is stored, developers and data professionals want to manage how they deploy their environments. At the same time, developers want the friendly and automated experience that they can get with the cloud. Using open source and platform engineering around data, Red Hat and Percona can meet that need.
“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,” commented Penny Philpot, Vice President, Ecosystems EMEA, Red Hat.
