Enhancing workflow efficiency with Elasticsearch and Red Hat OpenShift AI
Elastic collaborates with Red Hat on the validated pattern to enhance financial analyst workflows with RAG-powered search.

We’re excited to share that Elastic and Red Hat have partnered to create validated patterns that integrate Elasticsearch’s generative AI (GenAI) and vector search capabilities with Red Hat OpenShift AI. This integration can run on accelerated hardware on-prem or in IBM Cloud to power retrieval augmented generation (RAG) solutions.
Elasticsearch + Red Hat Validated Patterns
Red Hat Validated Patterns help users deploy applications in a hybrid cloud using a GitOps-based framework. In this first validated pattern, Enhancing Financial Analyst Efficiency Through RAG-Powered Search with Elasticsearch, Elasticsearch is the vector database at the core of the architecture. It enables hybrid search — combining lexical and semantic techniques — to ensure that only the most relevant, context-rich documents are passed to large language models (LLMs).

This boosts the quality, accuracy, and efficiency of responses generated by GenAI applications. Red Hat OpenShift AI provides the enterprise-grade container orchestration and DevSecOps capabilities needed to operationalize the AI workloads at scale. In this pattern, Elastic is run on OpenShift using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK), which includes an operator to simplify deploying and maintaining Elastic clusters.
Getting started
The collaboration between Elastic and Red Hat reflects a shared commitment to helping enterprises deploy generative AI efficiently and effectively. You can explore the jointly developed solution pattern — a production-ready RAG architecture using Elastic and OpenShift — now available on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog.
