But as many platform teams have discovered, that seamless hybrid vision often runs into the practical hurdle of storage. Managing persistent storage for stateful apps introduces complexity, especially when your clusters span on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments like Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). Different environments can mean different tooling, different processes, and more friction than you'd like. What if you could cut through that? What if your storage layer worked the same everywhere, managed natively inside OpenShift, without extra operational overhead? That's not a future state anymore. It's here, thanks to NetApp's certified Red Hat OpenShift operator for Trident. You might already know Trident, NetApp's dynamic CSI provisioner for Kubernetes. It brings NetApp's ONTAP, a unified data infrastructure featuring snapshots, clones, replication, and more, to containerized workloads. The certified OpenShift operator takes a step further. The NetApp Trident Operator is a controller that automates the entire lifecycle of the Trident CSI driver to provide persistent storage from NetApp systems.
