In many cases, using agentic AI for incident response automation means sending infrastructure logs to frontier AI models. Every job failure log (complete with hostnames, IP addresses, and system topology) would leave infrastructure the moment it hit a large language model (LLM) endpoint, which would raise huge red flags for compliance teams in heavily regulated industries like financial services and healthcare.As an alternative, these organizations could use open source models hosted on their own infrastructure, addressing data residency and compliance problems. But are open source AI models g

As modern applications expand across multiple clusters, clouds, and hybrid regions, traditional security mechanisms, such as long lived secrets, static certificates, or cloud provider specific identity and access management, struggle to keep up with the scale, velocity, and ephemeral nature of microservices. Red Hat’s zero trust workload identity manager is designed to resolve this by dynamically issuing temporary, cryptographically attested identities to workloads at runtime. This enables your applications to systematically prove what they are, not just where they run.Zero trust workload id

Navigating the complexities of 5G and AI requires telecommunications service providers to move beyond the restrictive, vendor-locked vertical architectures of the past. Legacy, single-vendor vertical stacks, once the industry standard, have become the primary bottleneck to growth. These rigid architectures lock operators into slow innovation cycles and unsustainable operational expenditure (OpEx). As network complexity explodes at the edge, the traditional model of "one vendor per domain" creates isolated silos that are impossible to automate at scale and too expensive to maintain.To thrive, t

As organizations accelerate AI investments and scale across the hybrid cloud, technology choice only becomes more important. Choice is now a fundamental driver of corporate financial strategy, legal risk mitigation, and long-term asset protection. This means IT infrastructure must do more than just run workloads. It needs to actively protect profit margins and fuel differentiated offerings.Red Hat OpenShift 4.22, now generally available, serves as an engine for IT choice, paired with enhanced security, compliance, and cost control features to keep enterprise environments moving forward. This r

It was 6 AM when the first alert fired. Then the second. Then the third.The on-call engineer opened her laptop to find 3 unrelated failures from a single AI agent. The agent handled support tickets, processed billing adjustments, and answered customer questions. It ran on LangChain. It had passed every test in staging, and it worked—until it didn't.I've watched teams pour months into prompt engineering and model selection only to lose a weekend cleaning up an incident that had nothing to do with either. The failures that follow are not hypothetical. They're the kind of thing that happens the

In our previous post, we walked through the agent mesh for software modernization architecture we built on Red Hat AI for modernizing legacy systems at the scale that mission environments actually require. The post covered the harness pattern, the workflows the harness orchestrates, and the KPI framework for measuring success. It also explained why we run coding agents on Devstral and non-coding agents on Ministral, inside a platform that operates in disconnected environments.This post is about the next layer of that story: the pluggability.In the regulated environments where agent mesh for so

You’ve been asked to adopt AI tools with a promise they will accelerate your time to production and improve the quality of your code. Along the way, you’ve noticed a huge increase in the number of changes submitted to code and you’ve also likely felt the pain of your systems and processes not being able to keep up. The inner loop of development is moving at lightning speed, while the outer loop struggles to keep up. In many CI/CD workflows, a pipeline failure, which is often caused by a security vulnerability or a configuration error, can leave a developer with the manual, time-consuming

At the OpenShift Commons Amsterdam gathering, the premier "Day zero" event for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, the energy was electric, with a session that perfectly captures the spirit of cloud-native transformation.Joerg Meyer, Software Solution Architect at Diebold Nixdorf, took the stage to deliver a compelling presentation titled, "Diebold Nixdorf Breaks the Shackles of Legacy Payments Infrastructure." Meyer shared how this global leader in banking and retail technology is moving away from the rigid constraints of the past to build a high-availability, future-ready payments platform

For more than 20 years in this industry, the conversation around enterprise software procurement followed a highly predictable script. An organisation would buy a subscription for an open source solution, lock down a certified version, and effectively try never to touch it again unless something broke. Security updates arrived on a slow, linear cadence. That era is officially over.Frontier AI models have fundamentally changed the game in security patching. Automated tools can surface thousands of vulnerabilities across open source software ecosystems in practically no time. Therefore, the secu

Earlier today, Red Hat and IBM unveiled two commercial offerings of Lightwell to deliver automated vulnerability remediation at scale.

The AI transition from experimental chatbots to agents faces a critical hurdle in highly-regulated sectors like biomedicine and public health. While these autonomous systems can navigate complex data to perform real-world tasks, there is a clear lack of a security-focused, standardized, and observable framework for AI agents to interact with sensitive data. Without enterprise-grade guardrails, the potential of agentic workflows remains confined to the lab sandbox.To address this challenge, Red Hat has launched a joint research effort with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a
