As AI workloads move from experimental prototypes into production environments, enterprises face a familiar challenge—how do you protect, manage, and govern these new components with the same rigor you apply to traditional software applications? A key piece of the puzzle lies in something your organization likely already uses extensively—containers, specifically Open Container Initiative (OCI) containers.What is the Open Container Initiative?The Open Container Initiative defines open specifications for image formats, container runtimes, and distribution, helping organizations avoid vendor
In the first part of this series, we discussed the messy and challenging work of fixing our foundation—standardizing on Red Hat OpenShift and cleaning up years of fragmented data. With that foundation in place, we faced a new challenge: how to integrate AI into how Red Hatters work without creating new internal barriers or security risks.Moving from policy to participationWhen gen AI first arrived, we made a mistake common to many enterprises: we led with a policy of "no." Our first move was to release a dense legal document so restrictive that it inadvertently discouraged people from explor
There are a lot of choices when it comes to container base images, so why should you select Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI)? First of all, the code in Red Hat Universal Base Image is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and the mission of RHEL is to be your source for safe and reliable Linux innovation that makes your workloads successful. Because all containers are Linux, and UBI is derived from RHEL, the same values apply to UBI, including:Innovate: Organizations are constantly looking to innovate quickly without friction and provide consistency from the data center to the edge b
