As Red Hat OpenShift clusters scale to support hundreds of microservices, the sheer volume of telemetry data can become overwhelming. Platform architects often face a difficult paradox: Maintain visibility required for security and compliance while also managing rising storage costs and "noise" associated with high-volume infrastructure logs. In this article, I explore how to leverage the ClusterLogForwarder (CLF) API and Loki filters in Red Hat OpenShift to move from a "collect everything" model to a route-by-value strategy.Infrastructure metadata and application insightIn a standard OpenShif

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 reaches its end of Maintenance Support on June 30, 2026. Originally launched in June 2023, Ansible Automation Platform 2.4 was a major milestone in the automation landscape, introducing Event-Driven Ansible to the platform for the first time.Why Maintenance Support mattersWhen a version of Red Hat software reaches the end of Maintenance Support, it means Red Hat no longer actively develops it. For your organization, that means:No new critical fixes: Routine bug fixes and security patches (CVEs) are no longer backported. Support limitations: While you can

As organizations scale generative AI (gen AI) across business units, a familiar tension appears—bigger models can often deliver better results, but they also require significantly more compute, cost, and operational complexity. This creates a production paradox— while enterprises want higher-quality reasoning, domain specialization, and agentic autonomy, they struggle to deploy monolithic trillion-parameter models that run continuously across clusters.As a result, the industry is shifting strategies, moving from single, massive models toward more efficient architectures. One of those techn

Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh 3.3 is now generally available with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus. Based on the Istio, Envoy, and Kiali projects, this release updates the version of Istio to 1.28 and Kiali to 2.22, and is supported on OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 and above. While this release includes many updates, it also sets the stage for the next generation of service mesh features, including post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) encryption, AI enablement, and support for the inclusion of external virtual machines (VMs) with service mesh.Updates in

The decision to migrate from a familiar virtualization provider to a modern platform is significant. For many organizations, the biggest hurdle isn't necessarily the migration itself, but the uncertainty that precedes it. You need to know exactly what the migration process looks like, what risk is involved, which workloads are ready, and more before you commit your resources.The OpenShift migration advisor is a no-cost, self-service tool designed to evaluate the migration-readiness of your VMware workloads prior to commitment. By discovering your vCenter environment, the advisor generates an a

In already a few short years, AI technology has evolved from basic chat completions to autonomous, long-running agents. This poses a challenge for IT teams who need to enable their builders to innovate while also providing guardrails and controls to reduce enterprise risk. More than just chatbots or assistants, agents are now autonomous entities capable of operating over extended horizons, crafting their own sub-agents, and using professional tools to complete multi-step plans. But as agents leave the developer's laptop and start interacting with production data and external APIs, freedom wit

The AI agent world is messy. Teams are reaching for LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, or building custom solutions from scratch. Good. That's how it should be during the creative phase. But once an agent leaves a developer's laptop and starts talking to production data, calling external application programming interfaces (APIs), or running on shared infrastructure, freedom without guardrails stops being a feature and starts being a liability.We've watched the industry go through waves: Model APIs (such as chat completions), agentic APIs (such as assistants and later the OpenAI responses

Navigating the complexities of AI infrastructure shouldn’t be a barrier to innovation. Red Hat has completed the first phase of AI Cloud Ready status for the NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) program to help address the increasing complexities of AI. NCPs build and operate GPU accelerated AI platforms to deliver and support full-stack, AI-optimized offerings based on the NCP software reference guide.

Developing software as efficiently and swiftly as possible is a competitive necessity. The faster and sooner you can get new products to market, the greater advantage you have with your customers. In recent years, AI coding has become a compelling way to help solve these challenges by handling tedious, repetitive tasks and debugging and testing more quickly. This frees up valuable time for higher-impact development work.However, the rapid adoption of generative AI-powered coding has introduced new enterprise-level challenges. As organizations scale their use of AI tools, they confront critical

In the next decade, AI will redraw the map of technology ecosystems. As we traverse what Forrester is calling the "seventh wave" of major technological change—driven by generative and agentic AI—C-suite executives are facing a daunting transition. The difference between falling behind and harnessing this wave of change is your strategy for the AI computing stack.At Red Hat, our mission remains centered on open source principles: Collaboration, transparency, and choice. We believe that for AI to truly deliver on its promise of productivity and business value, it cannot remain a proprietary

Managing a hybrid cloud environment spanning on-premise data centers, edge deployments, and multiple public clouds often results in subscription sprawl. Even in simpler environments, it can be challenging to maintain clear visibility into subscription use. Organizations frequently struggle to answer a basic question: “Exactly how much of our purchased Red Hat capacity are we actually using right now?”Subscription watch is the solution to this complexity. It is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tool integrated into Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console that provides a unified, aggregated view of your

vLLM Semantic Router: Signal driven decision routing for mixture-of-modality modelsAs LLMs diversify across modalities, capabilities and cost profiles, the problem of intelligent request routing—selecting the right model for each query at inference time—has become a critical systems challenge. Red Hat is collaborating in the upstream community to deliver vLLM Semantic Router, a signal-driven decision routing framework for Mixture-of-Modality (MoM) model deployments.

Red Hat Satellite manages Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems at scale across the cloud and on-premises. Last year, a model context protocol (MCP) server for Red Hat Satellite was released as a Technology Preview feature to enable more intelligent and automated management of Satellite and RHEL systems through your favourite large language model (LLM).LLMs make it possible to perform highly automated and sophisticated tasks. An LLM can enable automatic, unsupervised problem solving, simulating the acts of perception, learning, and reasoning. Tools such as MCPs make it possible for LLMs to o

Federated AI inverts the traditional machine learning paradigm. Instead of bringing data to the model, it brings the model to the data. Training happens locally on distributed nodes (i.e., hospitals, banks, and edge devices), and only model updates are shared with a central coordinator. The raw data never leaves its source. We will discuss this approach and how it enables collaborative AI while addressing privacy regulations (i.e., GDPR-EU data protection and HIPAA-US healthcare privacy) and data sovereignty requirements critical for healthcare, finance, and cross-border deployments. In this p

When Red Hat revealed our AI quickstarts, EDB suggested a use case to balance the business need for data with the non-negotiable demand for governance. We often treat this as a zero-sum game, but what if the architecture itself could negotiate peace?This Data Governance Co-Pilot AI quickstart, built on Red Hat OpenShift AI and EDB Postgres AI (PGAI) platform, treats safe data discovery as a requirement. It provides a protected workspace where any data consumer can navigate complex schemas and extract insights with less risk of tripping compliance wires.Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with
