It's been nearly five years already since the start of O3DE as the Open 3D Engine that began as Amazon's Lumberyard project spun into an open-source project under the Linux Foundation umbrella. Out this week is O3DE 26.05 for shipping the latest improvements to this cross platform game engine...

In the era of hyper-distributed systems where AI agents traverse our networks, and hybrid clouds stretch from the edge to the core, the "who" and "what" of infrastructure access are more critical than ever. Managing identities across thousands of nodes is a vital administrative task in optimizing your infrastructure's security posture. To assist with this, Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) can serve as a comprehensive domain controller for your Linux environment. If you're still managing local /etc/passwd files, or struggling with complex cross-realm Kerberos trusts manually, then it's time to

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is quickly becoming the standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data. With the recent technology preview of the MCP server for Red Hat OpenShift, organizations can give AI agents controlled access to their clusters. Deploying and managing MCP servers at scale introduces its own operational challenge: how do you treat MCP servers as first-class infrastructure?Today, we're making the MCP lifecycle operator available as a developer preview (v0.1.0). MCP lifecycle operator is a Kubernetes-native operator that provides a declarative API to deploy, manage

The model context protocol (MCP) server for Kubernetes is moving toward technology preview (TP), and it’s bringing a powerhouse integration with it: the Kiali toolset. By integrating Kiali into the MCP server, we are bridging the gap between large language models (LLM) and your service mesh. This means your AI assistant doesn't just "talk" about your cluster, it can now visualize traffic, diagnose latency, and manage Istio configurations using the same trusted logic that powers the Kiali UI.Why Kiali in MCP?While standard Kubernetes tools handle pods and services, the Kiali toolset provides

The post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition is well underway in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In May 2025, RHEL 10 delivered post-quantum key exchange algorithms in three major cryptography libraries (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS), making post-quantum key exchange usable in TLS 1.3 connections. RHEL 10.1 followed, setting the new key exchange algorithms as default in TLS, and introducing post-quantum signatures for RPM packages.The secure shell (SSH) protocol was not left behind. RHEL 10 shipped with OpenSSH 9.9, supporting two hybrid post-quantum key exchange methods: sntrup761x25519-sha512
