Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite
Overview
Red Hat® Advanced Developer Suite scales platform engineering teams to increase developer productivity and reduce software supply chain risk in hybrid and multicloud environments with organizational guidelines. It provides a unified internal developer platform (IDP), trusted software supply chain (SSC) capabilities, platform application capabilities, and streamlined tools that simplify onboarding, development, and modernization.
Improves developer productivity and reduces risk
Empower platform teams, accelerate developers
Advanced Developer Suite offers curated, self-service development experiences through Red Hat Developer Hub, allowing faster onboarding and consistent workflows across teams. Developers can code locally or in cloud environments with tools like Red Hat Dev Spaces and Podman Desktop, while benefiting from secure, preconfigured environments.
Built-in security across the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Advanced Developer Suite enhances software supply chain security with cryptographic signing, policy-based compliance, and artifact provenance via Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer and Trusted Artifact Signer. Teams gain real-time risk visibility and automated security scanning from code to deployment.
Simplify modernization and increase agility
Advanced Developer Suite includes the Migration Toolkit for Applications to guide modernization efforts with minimal disruption. It supports cloud-native transformation through CI/CD pipeline integration and rootless container development—eliminating environment drift and operational friction.
Integration with OpenShift
Advanced Developer Suite complements Red Hat OpenShift® with tools that support secure, efficient application development. Whether onboarding legacy apps or deploying AI-enabled solutions, Advanced Developer Suite extends OpenShift's capabilities to the left of the SDLC.
