Red Hat Named a Leader in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management for the Third Consecutive Year

Share This week we announced that for the third consecutive year, Red Hat has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management. We’re thrilled by this recognition and believe it represents continued validation of Red Hat OpenShift’s strong execution and strategy for delivering an industry leading application platform across hybrid environments from the data center, to the cloud, and to the edge. Red Hat OpenShift is recognized for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. Red Hat’s investments in OpenShift as a platform for AI workloads, and in building AI capabilities directly into the product to make users’ jobs easier. We believe it is also reflected in Red Hat’s position in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. OpenShift provides a comprehensive application platform with container management capabilities, including support for virtual machine workloads and AI-powered services. Magic Quadrant reports are a culmination of rigorous, fact-based research in specific markets, providing a wide-angle view of the relative positions of the providers in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct. Providers are positioned into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players. Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. The research enables you to get the most from market analysis in alignment with your unique business and technology needs. Gartner defines container management as offerings that support the deployment and operation of containerized workloads and associated resources. It uses a combination of technologies (many open source) that enable agile application deployments and infrastructure modernization.
