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. It is my job to understand what companies shaping the AI infrastructure space are bringing to market, and also to pay attention to the why and how behind the way they talk about it. Online, at conferences around the world, and in hallway conversations, I am watching not only what our industry is building but the framing that surrounds it. Across AI gatherings this year, both virtual and in person, a pattern has become impossible to miss: AI is being marketed through urgency an
