Abstract: The adoption of hybrid cloud architectures has transformed enterprise IT, requiring flexible, scalable, and secure application deployment strategies. Containers have emerged as a key enabling technology, allowing workloads to run consistently across on-premises and cloud environments. Red Hat OpenShift, an enterprise-grade Kubernetes-based platform, provides comprehensive orchestration capabilities that simplify container management, automate deployment pipelines, and enforce robust security policies. This review examines Red Hat’s role in hybrid cloud container orchestration, highlighting architectural features, operational efficiencies, and integration with DevOps workflows. Case studies illustrate large-scale enterprise implementations, demonstrating benefits in scalability, resource optimization, and regulatory compliance. The article also addresses challenges related to complexity, interoperability, and cost, and explores emerging trends such as AI-driven orchestration, edge computing, and open-source innovation. By combining technical evaluation with practical insights, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of how Red Hat enables enterprises to move beyond traditional server-centric models, achieving seamless, resilient, and efficient containerized hybrid cloud operations.
