Red Hat OpenShift API Management - Premium Subscription - 1 Million Daily API Calls - 1 Year

Unlock enterprise-grade API governance with Red Hat OpenShift API Management. This Premium Subscription delivers a complete, scalable solution for designing, publishing, securing, and observing APIs within OpenShift, backed by a robust license that covers up to 1 million API calls per day for an entire year. Built on the trusted OpenShift platform, it provides a cohesive API management experience that blends gateway security, developer-friendly tooling, and deep observability into a single, integrated offering. Whether you are exposing microservices to internal teams or securely partnering with external developers, this premium edition is designed to accelerate digital transformation while ensuring compliance, reliability, and performance across distributed environments.

• Scalability and throughput: Red Hat OpenShift API Management is engineered to support high-volume API workloads with a resilient, auto-scaling architecture that adapts to fluctuating traffic. The Premium subscription guarantees up to 1 million API calls per day, enabling you to expose microservices, data services, and partner APIs without worrying about throttling or performance bottlenecks. The system leverages the OpenShift cluster’s elasticity, enabling horizontal scaling of the API gateways, policy engines, and analytics collectors. With built-in load balancing, circuit breakers, and retry policies, your APIs maintain low latency and consistent availability even during peak usage or global events. For organizations with multi-region needs, this deployment model supports disaster recovery and latency optimization across geographies.
• Security and governance: At the core of the Premium package is a robust security stack designed for enterprises that demand strict access control and auditable activity. The API gateway enforces OAuth2 and JWT validation, with configurable rate limits, IP allowlists, and mutual TLS where required. Policy-driven governance lets you enforce API quotas, usage plans, and developer access levels, while centralized logging and audit trails provide traceability for compliance and governance programs. You can define roles and permissions per team or project, integrate with existing identity providers, and monitor security posture through integrated alerts and dashboards. This combination helps reduce risk while accelerating product delivery and ensuring regulatory alignment.
• Developer experience and API lifecycle: OpenShift API Management brings a developer-friendly portal that speeds API design, publishing, and consumption. Teams can document APIs with OpenAPI specs, generate client SDKs, and offer interactive testing to internal and partner developers. The publisher tooling supports versioning, lifecycle states, and staged rollouts, so you can iterate safely and retire older versions gracefully. Lifecycle automation reduces manual handoffs, while built-in analytics reveal adoption trends, usage patterns, and performance metrics. With single-click multi-environment promotion and integrated CI/CD hooks, developers ship new features faster, and operators gain clearer visibility into API health and compliance across the organization.
• Observability and reliability: The Premium subscription includes comprehensive telemetry, dashboards, and alerts that translate raw data into actionable insights. Track request latency, error rates, throughput, and quota consumption across APIs, plans, and consumers. Real-time dashboards integrate with OpenShift monitoring, Prometheus, and Grafana where applicable, providing a unified view of API performance. Advanced features like correlation IDs, distributed tracing, and fault injection support faster troubleshooting and resilience testing. This visibility helps operations teams optimize capacity planning, detect anomalies early, and meet service level objectives with confidence.
• Deployment flexibility and licensing: Designed for modern enterprises, this Premium subscription supports deployment on OpenShift across on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud environments, giving you freedom to architect your API platform to fit your existing stack. The license covers up to 1 million daily API calls for 12 months, simplifying budgeting with a predictable renewal cycle. You can align API management with your DevOps practices, synchronize access controls with your identity provider, and scale out as business needs grow. The renewal process is straightforward, and the license terms are crafted to minimize administrative overhead while maximizing uptime, security, and developer velocity.
