AlmaLinux 10.2 Beta released today as their next AlmaLinux 10 release coming down the pipe and derived from the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.2 state. Plus this AlmaLinux release continues adding more changes on their own...

AlmaLinux 10.2 Beta Released With Legacy 32-bit Software Support  Phoronix

Technology is only as effective as the trust behind it. While AI and automation now provide the baseline for speed and responsiveness in customer support, they cannot replace the singular need for human connection. At Red Hat, we believe the most effective enterprise support happens when powerful software is backed by people who actually listen.This is why Red Hat Support and Customer Experience is adopting the H.E.A.R.T. mindset. We are putting human connections at the center of how we collaborate with our customers, using a framework built on five pillars:Hear:Actively listening to customers

Many platform failures at scale often stem from overlooked control plane dependencies. Among them, the container registry is one of the most critical.In the early stages of Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift adoption, the registry is treated as a supporting component, a place to store and retrieve images. That assumption quietly breaks as a platform scales across environments, supports production workloads, and introduces disaster recovery requirements. At scale, the container registry becomes part of the platform control plane, not its artifact store: Thus is the very nature of the “infrastru

Mozilla recently published a fascinating piece titled "The zero-days are numbered," focusing on their collaboration with Anthropic to use AI models to find vulnerabilities in Firefox. The results Mozilla reports are staggering: 22 security-sensitive bugs found in one release cycle, followed by 271 vulnerabilities identified in a subsequent pass. These aren't trivial issues and they weren't theoretical; they were real defects, the kind that elite human researchers spend careers finding. But a machine found them in a fraction of the time.This is one of those moments where the ground shifts under

As organizations embrace agentic AI for cluster operations, the central challenge shifts from whether or not AI can control a cluster to whether it can do it safely and with accountability. How do large language models (LLMs) provide meaningful context and operational capability within our clusters without compromising security or relying on brittle, script-based wrappers?To address this challenge, Red Hat has introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Red Hat OpenShift, available as a technology preview. MCP refers to an open source standard for connecting AI applications to exter

Humanoid robots are having a moment. Every major tech conference features new demos—robots walking, grasping, responding to voice commands, and navigating crowded spaces. The hardware is impressive and the AI is advancing rapidly, but what happens after the demo?The answer to this matters because humanoid robots are not just AI systems, they are meant to be long-lived, safety-critical machines that operate continuously in human environments. Unfortunately, the gap between a compelling demonstration and a reliable production deployment is where many robotics programs stall.Red Hat and Intel a

Model Context Protocol (MCP) has moved fast, and thousands of MCP servers now exist across the ecosystem. What started as an open source project from Anthropic in late 2024 is now governed by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation with over 140 member organizations. Red Hat joined the AAIF as a Gold Member earlier this year, alongside the foundation’s work to advance open standards for agentic AI. Earlier this year, the MCP Dev Summit in New York had over 1,200 attendees, gathered to discuss the protocols evolution, and running MCP in production at scale. Thousands of MCP serve

From detection to analysis to remediation, AI is reshaping every layer of IT operations. It can find the problem, write the fix, and run it. But the same AI accelerating your team's capabilities is also accelerating environmental complexity: more signals, more telemetry, and more tools, all moving faster than before. The question enterprises are asking now isn't whether AI can act, but how to ensure its actions are governed, repeatable, and safe.It starts with a simple distinction: knowing what to do and safely doing it are different problems. AI is great at providing the recommendation for th
