This collaboration centers on delivering more strategic momentum and more resilient operations for our joint customers.A single source of truth to automate JunOS networking devicesManaging multiple versio

A decade ago, neither nations nor financial institutions considered digital sovereignty a top priority, nor was it even relevant enough for a coffee discussion in most cases. Supply chain globalization was the mainstream for most procurement categories, and where and what to outsource was simply a matter of buying the best possible product or service at the best possible price, shaped only by existing sanctions, regulations, and other operational risks, such as having a backup vendor ready for critical supplies. Examples of such a global supply chain with an extremely high degree of specializa

The news late last year about Red Hat's acquisition of Chatterbox Labs is just one part of how we plan to accelerate trusted AI for the enterprise. In the age of generative AI, having a transparent, flexible, and reliable platform for innovation is more critical than ever. And of course, Red Hat believes the open source development model is the most effective path to deliver on that promise.Recently, the Amazon AGI Labs team published a paper, Integrating Safety Testing into GenAI Development: Lessons from Amazon Nova and Chatterbox. This paper documents a collaboration between Amazon Nova's R

AI-driven network operations are increasingly becoming central to how service providers manage network complexity, optimize performance, and deliver services faster and more efficiently. AI is no longer just an application-layer technology, it’s becoming foundational to how modern service provider’s networks function.However, to benefit from this shift, service provider infrastructure must become AI-native, which requires embedding AI directly into network operations, service platforms, and security models across the core, edge, and network. With this in mind, Red Hat is teaming up with NV

The clock is ticking for communications service providers (CSPs). To survive in the telecommunications (telco) industry, every CSP should consider making steps to transition to a “techco” model, where CSPs don’t just provide connectivity but also software and platform innovation. StarHub, a leading Singapore CSP, has been driving its own telco-to-techco transformation for the past three years by emphasizing open source innovation, providing the backbone for polycloud agility and driving towards a future state as a trusted service provider (TSP).Polycloud agility: The engine for real-time

This series takes a look at the people and planning that went into building and releasing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. From the earliest conceptual stages to the launch at Red Hat Summit 2025, we’ll hear firsthand accounts of how RHEL 10 came into being.Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5In our previous installment of the story of how Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 came to be, years of hard work arrived at the Red Hat Summit stage and the team shared what it felt like to watch the world react. In our final installment, the team reflects on how Red Hat comes together to support the

In the early days of automation, the math was simple. If a task took 60 minutes manually and 2 minutes with a script, you saved 58 minutes. Multiply that by 100 times and you had your ROI. Today’s IT leaders are moving beyond these basic stopwatch metrics; they are using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and finding that automation’s real impact is measured in reliability, security, and the ability to accelerate in daily tasks.In dynamic and distributed IT environments, measuring automation success purely by task-level time savings fails to capture the true scope of its impact. For IT le

For the last decade, the story of 5G has been like a body that developed a massive high speed nervous system but lacked the central brain to command it. The telecom industry spent billions on the most sophisticated nervous system the world has ever seen including fiber, towers, and low latency spectrum, only to find out that this powerful system was mostly being used to carry the impulses and commands of others.For years, communication service providers (CSPs) have been the world’s indispensable circulatory system. They own the veins and arteries, but hyperscalers provide the lifeblood, the

If you aren't currently architecting for AI, you are part of a rapidly dwindling minority. By 2026, the pivot is no longer optional: AI has moved from a peripheral tool to the primary engine for transforming digital businesses, slashing operational complexity and driving revenue growth.The shift to agentic AI and zero-touch operationsThe industry is moving beyond passive chatbots toward agentic AI. While traditional AI provides insights, generative AI makes suggestions, now agentic AI provides action. In a practical telco context, this means autonomous agents capable of navigating complex work

Refactoring is not a technical clean-up activity. The choice to refactor is an economic decision about how you allocate human effort. Refactoring in this sense goes beyond cleaning up code—it includes improvements to architecture, operations, and decision structures, because the real cost of legacy systems rarely lives in the code alone. Refactoring is necessary to maintain system stability. But in an environment where your competitors are accelerating with AI, even when systems appear healthy, achieving stability through manual intervention is increasingly structurally expensive. The questi

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol designed to standardize how large language models (LLMs) connect to external tools, APIs, and data sources. Rather than relying on ad hoc, model-specific integrations, MCP defines a structured client–server architecture that allows AI applications to request context and invoke tools in a more consistent and interoperable way. This abstraction layer is becoming more important as enterprises move beyond isolated chat interfaces toward AI systems that must integrate with ticketing platforms, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, knowledge bases

Sovereignty isn’t something that’s purely discussed in boardrooms in 2026—it’s a strategic initiative centered around business continuity and a way for organizations to reclaim autonomy, control, and choice across their technology stacks. However, sovereignty isn’t a static checklist; it’s a dynamic landscape spanning compliance, supply chain integrity, data residency, and the rapid evolution of AI. Sovereignty must be viewed not as a single thing to be achieved, but as a foundational building block for organizations—spanning everything from the underlying technology infrastructu

Developer experience (DevEx) is often dismissed as a "soft" cultural metric. But I can prove to you that DevEx is a reliable predictor of whether your developer platform will actually deliver business value.I’ve noticed a recurring pattern where companies invest millions in a state-of-the-art container platform or cloud infrastructure, only to find their delivery speed hasn't budged. This is the "empty cluster problem." It happens because the focus was entirely on the infrastructure and not on the interface between that infrastructure and the people using it.The growth advantageWhen you impr
