Running Windows Workloads on AWS Just Got Easier with ROSA
IBM and Red Hat Blog
This article announces integrated Windows licensing for OpenShift Virtualization on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA), simplifying Windows workload migration to AWS.
- Windows licensing now bundled into AWS billing per vCPU consumption model
- Eliminates separate license tracking, compliance management, and vendor relationships
- Configuration available via OpenShift console, Terraform, or GitOps pipelines
- Runs on dedicated Amazon EC2 bare metal instances for performance isolation
- Enables unified platform for Windows VMs, Linux workloads, and containerized services
- Integrates with AWS VPC, IAM, and existing AWS discount programs
- Available now across all AWS regions where ROSA operates
This capability removes licensing friction, allowing organizations to accelerate Windows workload migration timelines while maintaining operational consistency on a single Kubernetes-based platform.
