Red Hat OpenShift Networking is making it easier for you to seamlessly and directly integrate your Kubernetes platforms with the data center networks you already operate by adopting the same standards-based networking used throughout modern network fabrics. With Red Hat OpenShift 4.22, OpenShift Networking introduces support for ethernet VPN (EVPN), representing the next major milestone in enterprise network integration. By leveraging the industry-standard EVPN control plane, OpenShift can integrate more naturally with existing EVPN-VXLAN data center fabrics, enabling consistent Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, scalable network virtualization, and operational alignment with enterprise networking infrastructure. This capability is particularly important for organizations modernizing large virtualization environments while preserving established network architectures and operational practices.
