As communications service providers (CSPs) embrace the shift to 5G, they’re not just adopting faster speeds, they are entering a new world of cloud-native, microservices-driven networks. But for all its promise, 5G brings challenges, especially when it comes to interoperability and lifecycle management of the 5G control plane.Complexities of a cloud-native and multivendor networkUnlike traditional monolithic networks of the past, 5G networks rely on microservices-based, cloud-native network functions (CNFs) that must work reliably across different vendors’ platforms, orchestration layers,

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the foundation for countless mission-critical deployments. But what happens when your business needs to stay on a specific version of RHEL longer than the standard lifecycle, or requires enhanced security beyond what the already-robust subscription delivers by default? That's where RHEL lifecycle add-ons come in.This article provides a comprehensive comparison of the add-on subscriptions designed to extend the support lifecycle and enhance the security of your RHEL environments: Extended Update Support (EUS), Enhanced Extended Update Support (EEUS), Extended

Welcome to 2026. As we look back at the final weeks of 2025, it is clear that our industry has shifted from “what if” to “how to.” Last year was defined by the move from AI experimentation to production-grade reality, the hardening of cloud-native security, and the rise of unified automation platforms. Whether our community was focused on scaling hundreds of clusters or slashing VM provisioning times from months to minutes, the goal remained consistent: building a foundation that is security-focused, scalable, and resilient.Getting Started with Red Hat OpenShift VirtualizationWhether y

Intel Linux engineers have been working on enhancing the NVMe storage performance with today's high core count processors. Due to situations where multiple CPUs could end up sharing the same NVMe IRQ(s), performance penalties can arise if the IRQ affinity and the CPU's cluster do not align. There is a pending patch to address this situation. A 15% performance improvement was reported with the pending patch...

But today some important fixes were merged for the ATA code to deal with a reported power management regression affecting the past number of Linux kernel releases over the last year. ATAPI devices with dummy ports weren't hitting their low-power state and in turn preventing the CPU from reaching low-power C-states but thankfully that is now resolved with this code...
