The Ubuntu Kernel Team issued a statement this morning to proactively warn Ubuntu Linux users on Ubuntu 26.04 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS HWE users that the next kernel point release will contain a performance regression for AMD GPUs in compute-heavy workloads with up to a 42x performance hit. The positive news is that due to this being an upstream regression in a Linux 7.0 point release, upstream stakeholders and other Linux distributions that more quickly shipped the problematic code already have a fix coming down the pipe...

For CIOs across the Middle East Africa, keeping systems online is the foundation of customer trust. As public sector institutions and private enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, maintaining this operational uptime is the top priority. In a complex business landscape, an infrastructure outage immediately halts crucial services, risks public safety, and compromises the user experience. Navigating this need for operational predictability is challenging for organisations operating in highly sensitive environments with strict compliance frameworks and data residency requirements.

Before anything reaches production, you have to test it, validate it, and sometimes learn about it from scratch. All 3 of these steps are necessary to have a properly running environment but your window to complete them is almost always shorter than expected. Building an environment from scratch also eats up more time and resources than any test should.For most teams that run lab sessions regularly, setting up a lab environment manually takes roughly 40 minutes every time. The process always looks the same:Provision a virtual machineRegister the systemConfigure software repositoriesDownload an

Enterprises want absolute clarity on their IT footprint: they want to know exactly what software is running, where it’s running, and how those deployments align with subscription entitlements. For many organizations, Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and subscription watch provide that visibility. But what happens when your infrastructure can't (or shouldn't) phone home? Air-gapped networks, government systems, manufacturing floors, and sovereign clouds all require a completely disconnected approach.That is exactly why we built discovery, an open source, agentless scanning tool that is a componen
