Simplify Cloud-Native Operations with the New OpenShift Console Plugin on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is making cloud-native management easier and more efficient with the release of the OpenShift Console Plugin on OCI. This new integration lets developers and operations teams manage OCI resources directly within the OpenShift console — eliminating the need to toggle between different platforms and improving productivity.

Why OpenShift on OCI?

Oracle’s OpenShift Container Platform on OCI combines the power of Red Hat OpenShift — a leading enterprise Kubernetes platform — with OCI’s secure, high-performance cloud infrastructure. This partnership enables organizations to build, deploy, and scale containerized applications while benefiting from Oracle’s native cloud services such as networking, storage, security, and identity management.

With OpenShift on OCI, teams get:

• Managed Kubernetes clusters optimized for production workloads

• Deep integrations with OCI infrastructure services

• Enhanced security and compliance features

• Flexible deployment options with bare metal and VM nodes

What the New OpenShift Console Plugin Brings

The OpenShift Console Plugin on OCI embeds OCI resource management capabilities directly into the OpenShift web console. This means you can now:

• View and manage Compute instances powering your clusters

• Access and control Networking components and Block Storage volumes

• Monitor your infrastructure without leaving OpenShift

• Leverage OCI Identity and Access Management (IAM) seamlessly

This unified experience simplifies your day-to-day cloud operations, reduces context switching, and helps speed up development cycles.

Who Benefits?

• Developers can provision infrastructure faster and see resource status without leaving their Kubernetes environment.

• DevOps teams gain streamlined workflows, combining cluster and cloud management in one place.

• Administrators maintain tight governance with consistent access control via OCI IAM.
