A developer portal your teams actually use
Red Hat Developer Hub, built on the open-source Backstage project: a software catalog, templates for starting a new service the approved way, and the docs and ownership for everything in one place.

Platform engineering and developer experience on Azure.
Your developers should spend their day building the product, not waiting for environments, approvals and pipelines. We design, build and run internal developer platforms on Azure, with Red Hat, GitHub and Fortinet, so the secure way to ship is also the fastest.
We're a systems integrator for Red Hat and Fortinet: we deliver the platform, you own it.

What we deliver
One platform, from developer portal to production.
The right runtime: Azure Red Hat OpenShift or AKS
Azure Red Hat OpenShift, run jointly by Microsoft and Red Hat, when you want a fully supported enterprise Kubernetes. AKS or Container Apps when a lighter platform fits. We recommend the one that suits your teams, not the one with the biggest licence.
See it in practice: oil & gas on Azure Red Hat OpenShift: The right runtime: Azure Red Hat OpenShift or AKSGolden paths on GitHub
Repositories, GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot set up so the secure, approved way to ship is also the fastest. Pipelines with Dagger run the same on a laptop as in production.
Automation with Ansible
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform for the configuration and day-two operations work that still eats your engineers' time.
Security built into the platform
A governed Azure landing zone with identity, policy and Fortinet network security designed in, so every team that builds on the platform starts secure.
Ready for AI agents
The same platform runs AI agents: identity on every model call, cost controls and evaluation gates. When you're ready for agents, the foundation is already there.

FAQ
Questions about platform engineering
What is platform engineering?
Platform engineering is building an internal platform that gives developers self-service access to everything they need to ship: environments, pipelines, security and documentation. Done well, developers spend their time on the product instead of waiting on tickets.
Do we have to buy licences from you?
No. We're a systems integrator: our job is to design, deploy and run the platform. Licences can come through your existing supplier or the Microsoft Marketplace, and Azure Red Hat OpenShift is billed through your Azure subscription. As an authorized Fortinet partner, we can also supply Fortinet licences if that's simpler.
Should we use Azure Red Hat OpenShift or AKS?
It depends on your teams, your existing Red Hat investment and how much of the platform you want supported by the vendor. We look at both and recommend one in writing, with the reasons.
Where should we start?
With a discovery call about how your developers ship today and where they wait. We then scope the work in writing, so you know what the platform should do first before anything is built.
Who does the work?
Each engagement has its own lead from our team of employees and specialist contractors in cloud, AI and software engineering, with the team sized to the work. Leads make the day-to-day decisions, so nothing waits on one person. Kevin Evans, the founder and a Microsoft MVP for Azure, sets the technical standards we all build to. Everything is built in your own tenant and repositories, so your team owns and extends it.
