Zero trust workload identity manager version 1.1 generally available on Red Hat OpenShift

Red Hat News - Tue, 07/14/2026 - 08:00
As modern applications expand across multiple clusters, clouds, and hybrid regions, traditional security mechanisms, such as long lived secrets, static certificates, or cloud provider specific identity and access management, struggle to keep up with the scale, velocity, and ephemeral nature of microservices. Red Hat’s zero trust workload identity manager is designed to resolve this by dynamically issuing temporary, cryptographically attested identities to workloads at runtime. This enables your applications to systematically prove what they are, not just where they run.Zero trust workload id

Why the future of telco depends on open, ecosystem-led architectures

Red Hat News - Tue, 07/14/2026 - 08:00
Navigating the complexities of 5G and AI requires telecommunications service providers to move beyond the restrictive, vendor-locked vertical architectures of the past. Legacy, single-vendor vertical stacks, once the industry standard, have become the primary bottleneck to growth. These rigid architectures lock operators into slow innovation cycles and unsustainable operational expenditure (OpEx). As network complexity explodes at the edge, the traditional model of "one vendor per domain" creates isolated silos that are impossible to automate at scale and too expensive to maintain.To thrive, t
