Red Hat, Inc. announced that Türk Telekom has deployed Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading Kubernetes platform, for use across its business to develop and scale cloud-native applications from core to edge for faster innovation. Many communications service providers around the world are finding it increasingly challenging to meet customer demands in the context of ongoing digital transformation across industries and more recently, disruption from the Covid-19 pandemic. Türk Telekom wanted to apply cutting-edge application technologies and methods in order to deliver services more dynamically.

With this collaboration, Red Hat supported Türk Telekom with optimizing its microservices architecture and consolidating services and data management and analysis. It standardized on Red Hat OpenShift as the foundational horizontal application platform for greater ease of deployment and scaling. Red Hat Consulting and Red Hat Training provided upskilling programs to help Türk Telekom to get the best value from its cloud-native technologies and to be more agile using microservices and CI/CD.

Türk Telekom also leaned on the expertise of Red Hat services to help define a security architecture that takes advantage of OpenShift's native features including network and container isolation and application data access protection. Using Red Hat OpenShift's self-service capabilities Türk Telekom can deploy applications in as little as 90 seconds compared to taking days previously, with automation helping remove manual processes so developers can be more productive. More agile lifecycle management as well as autoscaling enables the business to bring new capabilities and updates to market as they are ready and manage workloads dynamically, instead of limiting production pushes to specific days.

Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is enabling virtual machine workloads to be run and managed alongside container workloads. OpenShift holistically helps improve cost effectiveness and efficiency for the business.
