As AI becomes an engine of national competitiveness, the concept of sovereign AI—the capacity to operate AI systems free from external influence—is increasingly relevant, but the path to adoption is filled with challenges. A recent survey of over 900 IT leaders and AI engineers about AI adoption exposes a significant "value gap," showing that, despite high enthusiasm (72%), only 7% of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) organizations are delivering results.The survey highlights that data privacy and infrastructure silos are paralyzing AI development efforts. As a result, sovereign A

European organizations in highly regulated sectors, such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector, have faced the persistent challenge of balancing rapid innovation with strict digital sovereignty. To help address these needs, Red Hat is pleased to announce support for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) available as a foundational platform for sovereign workloads.What is the AWS European Sovereign Cloud?The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a new, independent cloud infrastructure designed specifically for public sector organizations and customers in highl

At the recent OpenShift Commons gathering in Atlanta, we had the opportunity to hear from Brian Cook, (director, Kubernetes site reliability engineer Kubernetes security posture management), about how Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is navigating a massive shift in how they operate. As the global heart of trading activities, DTCC faces intense global regulations and a critical need for velocity without compromising security. We learned how they transitioned from a legacy environment to a "zero touch" model built entirely on GitOps principles. Facing a tight 10-month windowOne of

Confidential computing represents the next frontier in hybrid and multicloud security, offering hardware-level memory protection (data in use) through technologies such as AMD SEV and Intel TDX. However, implementing storage solutions in these environments presents unique challenges that traditional approaches can't address.In this article, we'll explore different approaches to adding storage to Red Hat OpenShift confidential container environments, what to watch out for, and how AltaStata—a Red Hat partner—simplifies the process with encryption and protection for AI.The challenge: Storage

We’re excited to announce the general availability of zero trust workload identity manager, a Red Hat solution that delivers universal, runtime-attested identities for workloads in your cloud-native deployments.Modern applications run across multiple clusters, clouds, and regions, and traditional identity mechanisms—long-lived secrets, static certificates, or provider-specific Identity and Access Management (IAM)—struggle to keep up. Zero trust workload identity manager solves this by issuing ephemeral, cryptographically attested identities to workloads at runtime. This enables your appl

The journey to enterprise-wide Kubernetes adoption can be a "wild, wild west" of disparate environments and challenging security for some organizations.

Within Red Hat’s Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) framework, an embargo is a strictly-defined window of time during which a security vulnerability is known only to a small group of trusted parties before being made public, including the vulnerability reporter and the relevant upstream community and partners.Why are embargoes necessary? The primary goal of an embargo is customer protection. If a severe vulnerability is disclosed immediately upon discovery by way of "full disclosure" without an available patch, malicious actors have a window of opportunity to exploit systems while us

As communications service providers (CSPs) embrace the shift to 5G, they’re not just adopting faster speeds, they are entering a new world of cloud-native, microservices-driven networks. But for all its promise, 5G brings challenges, especially when it comes to interoperability and lifecycle management of the 5G control plane.Complexities of a cloud-native and multivendor networkUnlike traditional monolithic networks of the past, 5G networks rely on microservices-based, cloud-native network functions (CNFs) that must work reliably across different vendors’ platforms, orchestration layers,

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the foundation for countless mission-critical deployments. But what happens when your business needs to stay on a specific version of RHEL longer than the standard lifecycle, or requires enhanced security beyond what the already-robust subscription delivers by default? That's where RHEL lifecycle add-ons come in.This article provides a comprehensive comparison of the add-on subscriptions designed to extend the support lifecycle and enhance the security of your RHEL environments: Extended Update Support (EUS), Enhanced Extended Update Support (EEUS), Extended
