The modern era of AI training, particularly for large models, faces simultaneous demands for computational scale and strict data privacy. Traditional machine learning (ML) requires centralizing the training data, resulting in significant hurdles and effort concerning data privacy, security, and data efficiency/volume.This challenge is magnified across heterogeneous global infrastructure in multicloud, hybrid cloud, and edge environments, so organizations must train models using the existing distributed datasets while protecting data privacy. Federated learning (FL) addresses this challenge by

As traditional learning methods fall short in the fast-paced world of cloud computing and container orchestration, Ford has pivoted to a more agile approach to technology education: an internal Kubernetes user group that has transformed how its teams learn, collaborate, and innovate.What began as a small initiative has blossomed into a vibrant ecosystem of over 200 passionate developers, demonstrating the incredible potential of community-driven learning. Their journey reveals how organizations can create meaningful technological communities that transcend traditional training boundaries.The g

If you’re a platform engineer or SRE, you know that managing infrastructure and efficiently managing it are two very different things. You’ve been able to run virtual machines (VMs) alongside containers in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for a while now. But as your fleet grows, finding that one specific VM acting up in a haystack of clusters can feel like a scavenger hunt you didn't sign up for.Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.15 redefines your daily workflow instead of just adding features. We’ve taken the capabilities you rely on and made them easier to use so

Enterprise AI is evolving beyond individual models to unified data ecosystems.As organizations scale their AI initiatives, an exciting opportunity emerges—building a unified data gateway that connects every step of your AI pipeline, from raw data through compute processing to feature catalogs and model serving. This isn't just about managing complexity, it's about creating a foundation that helps accelerate innovation.One recurring challenge organizations face is that data scientists end up rebuilding the same features over and over again. One team calculates customer lifetime value for a ch

Red Hat Summit is taking over the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, May 11-14, 2026 and we want you to be there. Registration is now open for the premier enterprise open source event for IT professionals.Every year we bring together thousands of customers, partners, open source community members and technology industry leaders from around the world for a high-energy week of innovation, education and collaboration.Red Hat Summit puts you right in the center of technology evolution, giving you the opportunity to connect, innovate and help shape the future of IT.You’ll experience th

Virtualization has been an evolving part of ITOps over the past several years. A variety of applications run on virtualization technology and many companies are assessing their options for new platforms to run these critical workloads. Goals include cost optimization, protection of budget, identifying advantages in new platforms, and modernization. Red Hat and Cisco have teamed to provide a comprehensive computing platform for virtualization. While the focus of this article is virtualization, this platform can also support other types of computing. It combines the following solutions to deliv

The technology landscape is shifting rapidly, and at the heart of this change is a vibrant, interconnected ecosystem of partners. Today, we are excited to introduce Kevin Kennedy as vice president of the Global Partner Ecosystem at Red Hat.Kennedy steps into this role during a pivotal era for hybrid cloud and AI, bringing a unique perspective forged from sitting at every side of the technology table – from direct sales at IBM and Xerox to a decade in leadership within distribution at Arrow, EMC and Tech Data, and most recently, leading Red Hat’s partner ecosystem in North America and Latin

In today’s IT world, change is not coming; it is here. Hybrid cloud, automation, and AI are transforming how organizations operate, and the pace shows no sign of slowing. Teams that cannot keep up risk falling behind. However, there is a way to stay ahead: investing in the right skills, at the right time, without disrupting ongoing work.Red Hat Learning Subscription Course helps teams add new skills and refine existing expertise through a flexible, scalable approach to learning. This helps teams adapt, innovate, and thrive, while limiting disruption to existing operations.Choosing a course

The Argo CD Agent is now Generally Available with the release of Red Hat OpenShift GitOps 1.19. Organizations using Kubernetes and OpenShift have widely adopted the GitOps methodology to manage clusters and applications, with Argo CD being the leading open source GitOps solution on Kubernetes. However, organizations adopting Argo CD have faced challenges selecting an appropriate Argo CD deployment model. There's often a choice between prioritizing scalability across multiple clusters or to implement centralized GitOps management. The Argo CD Agent for OpenShift GitOps solves this challenge by

After much anticipation, Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) with hosted control planes in AWS GovCloud is now authorized against the FedRAMP High baseline controls in accordance with the Rev 5 authorization path. This means that customers are now able to use the hosted control plane architecture with ROSA in the AWS Government Community Cloud (GovCloud). The hosted control plane architecture, based on the HyperShift project, streamlines ROSA in AWS GovCloud classic architecture by providing a more effective and efficient use of customer resources, which can lead to improved security postu

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system administrators and developers have long relied on a specific set of tools to diagnose issues, combined with years of accumulated intuition and experience. But as environments grow more complex, the cognitive load required to effectively decipher logs and troubleshoot issues has been increasing.Today, we are excited to announce the developer preview of a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for RHEL. This new MCP server is designed to bridge the gap between RHEL and Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling a new era of smarter troubleshooting.What is the

In the previous articles, we discussed how integrating AI into business-critical systems opens up enterprises to a new set of risks with AI security and AI safety [link], and explored the evolving AI security and safety threat landscape, drawing from leading frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS, NIST, OWASP, and others [link]. In this article, we'll examine the architectural considerations for deploying AI systems that are both secure and safe.A resilient AI architecture must be designed with a defense-in-depth philosophy, integrating controls that address both traditional cybersecurity threats and

As our reliance on connected devices and software deepens, the need for robust, transparent, and consistent cybersecurity practices is increasingly critical. The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) represents a landmark legislative moment, with the act’s purpose to be “ensuring that hardware and software products are placed on the market with fewer vulnerabilities and that manufacturers take security seriously throughout a product's lifecycle”. This welcomed initiative aims to protect consumers and businesses with products that are secure by design and manufacturers who are trans

Managing a hybrid environment can feel like a balancing act between disparate sets of fragmented tools used for all the different platforms you interact with. If that sounds familiar, then your team needs integrated management across your diverse hybrid infrastructure. With Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, you can manage your public cloud instances, on-premise virtualization, and security compliance all in one dashboard.The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console was built to solve fragmentation by unifying the management of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Red Hat OpenShift, and Red Hat Ansible Automation

New year, new pressureAs a PMM, I spend a lot of time at the intersection of technology and the way we communicate it.
