Red Hat, Inc. , the world’s leading provider of open-source solutions, announced that its Red Hat OpenShift platform is now available on Google Cloud Dedicated . This broad collaboration between Red Hat and Google will provide highly regulated organizations, including those in the financial services, healthcare, and public sectors, with isolated infrastructure and operational independence, meeting the stringent requirements of digital sovereignty at the local and regional levels.

With digital sovereignty becoming a strategic competitive advantage, IT leaders are increasingly placing great importance on robust sovereignty plans that balance innovation with risk mitigation. Red Hat is committed to supporting organizations in meeting these requirements by fostering innovation and sovereignty within the technology community and partner ecosystem, and by embracing an open-source approach.

According to the International Data Corporation ( IDC ) Market Outlook report, about nine out of ten organizations globally want freedom of choice and control when deploying artificial intelligence on a large scale, while more than half prefer open models over closed and proprietary models.

With this move, Red Hat provides wider options for organizations seeking full control over their technology stack , while maintaining high levels of workload security and operational flexibility, by providing the Red Hat OpenShift platform, powered by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, on Google's dedicated cloud.

Enabling agile, security-focused AI innovations for sovereignty strategies

Red Hat OpenShift’s dedicated Google cloud platform aims to address the fundamental pillars of digital sovereignty, including data residency , technological independence, and supply chain resilience, by providing the following:

• Sovereign control of infrastructure : The platform provides dedicated and isolated infrastructure to comply with local laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and regional sovereignty regulations .
• Accelerating AI adoption : Built-in support for graphics processing units (GPUs) enables customers to build, deploy, and manage advanced AI workloads, while maintaining full compliance with local security requirements and enterprise security policies .
• Regional expertise : Red Hat helps organizations navigate the complexities of the international security landscape seamlessly through a trusted platform, based on its close collaboration with regional cloud and service providers.
• Hybrid cloud consistency : The platform forms a bridge to modernize traditional workloads according to the organization's own terms, maintaining compatibility and consistency between on-premises and managed cloud environments.

Availability

Public support for the Red Hat OpenShift platform will be provided on Google's dedicated cloud during the second half of 2026.
