As Ansible adoption grows, a challenge can arise: How do organizations track automation efforts across the entire enterprise? A common solution is to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) for Ansible, helping organizations move from isolated automation efforts to a scalable, coordinated enterprise strategy. What is a Center of Excellence for Ansible?A CoE for Ansible is a group responsible for setting automation standards and promoting Ansible’s collaborative open source nature. The CoE acts as an enablement and governance body, allowing for more effective automation across the organization

Technology is only as effective as the trust behind it. While AI and automation now provide the baseline for speed and responsiveness in customer support, they cannot replace the singular need for human connection. At Red Hat, we believe the most effective enterprise support happens when powerful software is backed by people who actually listen.This is why Red Hat Support and Customer Experience is adopting the H.E.A.R.T. mindset. We are putting human connections at the center of how we collaborate with our customers, using a framework built on five pillars:Hear:Actively listening to customers

Many platform failures at scale often stem from overlooked control plane dependencies. Among them, the container registry is one of the most critical.In the early stages of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift adoption, the registry is treated as a supporting component, a place to store and retrieve images. That assumption quietly breaks as a platform scales across environments, supports production workloads, and introduces disaster recovery requirements. At scale, the container registry becomes part of the platform control plane, not its artifact store: Thus is the very nature of the “infrastru

Mozilla recently published a fascinating piece titled "The zero-days are numbered," focusing on their collaboration with Anthropic to use AI models to find vulnerabilities in Firefox. The results Mozilla reports are staggering: 22 security-sensitive bugs found in one release cycle, followed by 271 vulnerabilities identified in a subsequent pass. These aren't trivial issues and they weren't theoretical; they were real defects, the kind that elite human researchers spend careers finding. But a machine found them in a fraction of the time.This is one of those moments where the ground shifts under

As organizations embrace agentic AI for cluster operations, the central challenge shifts from whether or not AI can control a cluster to whether it can do it safely and with accountability. How do large language models (LLMs) provide meaningful context and operational capability within our clusters without compromising security or relying on brittle, script-based wrappers?To address this challenge, Red Hat has introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Red Hat OpenShift, available as a technology preview. MCP refers to an open source standard for connecting AI applications to exter

Humanoid robots are having a moment. Every major tech conference features new demos—robots walking, grasping, responding to voice commands, and navigating crowded spaces. The hardware is impressive and the AI is advancing rapidly, but what happens after the demo?The answer to this matters because humanoid robots are not just AI systems, they are meant to be long-lived, safety-critical machines that operate continuously in human environments. Unfortunately, the gap between a compelling demonstration and a reliable production deployment is where many robotics programs stall.Red Hat and Intel a

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has moved fast, and thousands of MCP servers now exist across the ecosystem. What started as an open source project from Anthropic in late 2024 is now governed by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation with over 140 member organizations. Red Hat joined the AAIF as a Gold Member earlier this year, alongside the foundation’s work to advance open standards for agentic AI. Earlier this year, the MCP Dev Summit in New York had over 1,200 attendees, gathered to discuss the protocols evolution, and running MCP in production at scale. Thousands of MCP serve

From detection to analysis to remediation, AI is reshaping every layer of IT operations. It can find the problem, write the fix, and run it. But the same AI accelerating your team's capabilities is also accelerating environmental complexity: more signals, more telemetry, and more tools, all moving faster than before. The question enterprises are asking now isn't whether AI can act, but how to ensure its actions are governed, repeatable, and safe.It starts with a simple distinction: knowing what to do and safely doing it are different problems. AI is great at providing the recommendation for th

There is a fundamental tension between using AI and the cloud while adhering to strict privacy mandates like digital sovereignty and sovereign AI. Encryption of data at rest and in transit is increasingly common, but traditional computing leaves data exposed in system memory during processing—known as data in use—which puts it at risk. To address this challenge, confidential computing has been developed, using hardware-based, attested Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) protecting data confidentiality, data integrity, and code integrity while data is in use. This enables protected collab

As AI workloads move from experimentation to production, enterprises are consolidating GPU infrastructure into shared platforms. However, organizations that take this road face several tradeoffs. For instance, instead of dedicating entire accelerator nodes to a single workload, organizations are increasingly aiming to support multiple tenants per node. This boosts overall efficiency, because underutilizing GPUs by dedicating them to individual workloads increases infrastructure cost. But in such multitenant GPU environments, poor isolation can lead to serious issues, including performance inte

In the telecommunications industry, the Radio Access Network (RAN) has moved from a set of fixed functions to a dynamic, software-defined environment that is characterized by cloud-native technologies and methodologies that will be fundamental within the AI-native 6G era. By integrating AI with wireless infrastructure, service providers can improve network efficiency, reduce power consumption, and unlock new revenue streams through innovative edge services.Red Hat has demonstrated another milestone in this evolution, running the recently open sourced version of the NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerat

When Vodafone New Zealand separated from the Vodafone Group to become One New Zealand (One NZ), it faced an opportunity to go beyond a mere rebrand. Like many telecommunications providers, One NZ faced a 2-stack challenge as it managed legacy virtual machines (VMs) alongside modern containerized applications. To support its long-term digital ambitions, it launched the C1 Program, a telco core modernization project that aimed to build a unified, future-ready foundation. The goal was to standardize telco applications on a common platform that could accelerate business outcomes without vendor con

In today’s global volatility, corporate boards are being defined by their ability to manage seismic shifts in risk and navigate constant change. While geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions have long been staples of risk committee agendas, a new, more foundational risk has moved from the server room to the boardroom—digital sovereignty.For years, sovereignty was treated as a technical "compliance checkbox"—a matter of data residency or meeting regional privacy mandates. As we look toward 2026, however, the paradigm has shifted. Sovereignty is no longer just a technical umbrell

In the financial services industry, standing still is equivalent to falling behind. As VyStar Credit Union approached the $14 billion asset mark, it faced a pivotal crossroads: The organization had to maintain its growth while meeting the rigorous compliance and delivery demands of a highly regulated industry.Breaking the cycle of manual processesVyStar’s growth had historically been supported by manual efforts that worked well but were becoming increasingly difficult to sustain as the organization scaled.

This week, I developed a community operating system image for running AI agents: an agentic OS prototype. It is built using fedora-bootc, a community project that allows for defining a bootable Linux OS directly in a Containerfile. The creation of this agentic OS spotlights a critical evolution: By providing a hardened, image-based environment, it establishes a robust community template for what an agentic OS can look like in practice. It explores how a dedicated runtime built with open source tools could look – an example of open source’s profound ability to deliver a reliable infrastruct
