Support for our Israel associates
Editor’s note: Matt Hicks, Red Hat's president and chief executive officer, shared the following email with Red Hat associates today.
Red Hatters,
As I've watched the atrocities in Israel unfold, I wanted to share my deepest sympathy with our associates and express our commitment and solidarity with the Red Hatters suffering from this conflict. Just last week, I was discussing with a close friend how much I was looking forward to getting back to Ra'anana to see our team.

Succeeding with new technology: Breaking down adoption barriers
Technology adoption is a key factor for achieving business goals and maximizing value, but many organizations face challenges when introducing or upgrading technology. In a previous blog post, I identified four common barriers to adoption. In this post, I'll provide a practical guide to overcome these barriers.
Before we dive in, let's quickly revisit the common barriers discussed in my previous post:
Technological: The challenge of integrating new technology with existing systems, processes and infrastructure, which may require significant changes and investments
Financial: The cost
Welcoming Intel to CentOS Stream

Application modernization: Promote, observe and process
The very act of modernizing means not only is there an application feedback loop to improve, there will be a similar loop running around infrastructure and security compliance that allows the application to operate in its current state in a production environment. Let’s talk a bit about what this might look like and some challenges to keep in mind when modernizing.
Importance of the operations feedback loop
In most legacy environments, a separate operations team is responsible for the operations feedback loop. In spite of movements such as the site reliability engineering movement (SRE

Protect your supply chain from disasters
Disasters that affect companies can take many forms: public health, terrorism and war, and extreme weather. They can also affect companies in different ways, including needing to shut down offices, helping affected employees and regaining access to networks and computers. It’s a multifaceted challenge but, for the purposes of this blog, we’re going to focus on anticipating and responding to supply chain challenges due to natural disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, floods, earthquakes, wildfires and droughts.
These are not unusual challenges. In 2020, there were 22 separate billion-d
“That’s what open source is all about”: A short history of collaboration, innovation and education in research

Supply chain challenges: Handling returns
Evolving customer expectations have forced retailers to figure out how to better manage the ripple effects that the pandemic, increased online shopping and supply chain disruptions have created— including handling customer returns. On the surface, returns may seem like a fairly straightforward problem, but there are many nuances and tradeoffs to consider.
Customers want easy returns. For merchandise delivered to the home, the return experience can be a critical reason why consumers stick with a given retailer. Take Zappos, for example, their generous return policy for shoes—an item tha

The moment for AI
Throughout history, there have been technological moments when you can feel a shift. Moments when you know a discovery or innovation is going to change the industry, and in some cases, the world as we know it.
Going back centuries you might think of Johannes Gutenberg inventing the printing press in 1455, James Watt creating the steam engine in 1765 or Alexander Graham Bell designing the first telephone in 1876. In more modern times, the first computer sprang to life in 1937 and both the personal computer and the internet came to be in 1974. There are more of these instances, of course, but
