But in many enterprises, especially in regulated industries, requesting and receiving a VM can take a staggering 60 to 90 days. This kind of delay can stifle innovation and slow down critical projects. But what if you could provide your developers with a more seamless, self-service experience that delivers a fully configured VM in under an hour, with automated lifecycle management? This isn't a far-off dream, it's a reality you can build with Red Hat's integrated toolset. To transform a slow and manual process into a rapid, automated one, you need 3 key building blocks: A user-friendly portal, a powerful hypervisor, and an intelligent automation engine. The portal: Red Hat Developer Hub provides a single, streamlined user experience (based on Backstage) for requesting any resource, starting with VMs. It's an enterprise-grade, hardened platform with the support complex organizations require. The hypervisor: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization brings traditional VMs and modern containers together on a single Kubernetes-based platform. Built on KVM, it allows you to manage your entire estate, including legacy Windows and Linux VMs, to cloud-native applications from a unified control plane. The automation engine: Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is the orchestration engine that ties everything together. It automates every complex, behind-the-scenes task, eliminating manual handoffs that cause delays. Provisioning a VM is just the beginning.
