The zero touch future: Enabling Telstra’s path to a fully autonomous, self-healing network

Red Hat News - Fri, 04/17/2026 - 08:00
At MWC 2026, Telstra announced a major step forward in its journey towards building one of the world’s most advanced autonomous networks in collaboration with Red Hat and other industry partners. Telstra executed a proof-of-concept within a live telecommunication (telco) cloud environment to autonomously detect and resolve an unplanned infrastructure outage by shifting critical network applications to healthy infrastructure in just minutes. The result shows how a multivendor, AI-native architecture can enable self-healing operations at scale. Central to this exciting new capability are the o

MCP security: Containerization and Red Hat OpenShift integration

Red Hat News - Fri, 04/17/2026 - 08:00
In our previous 3 articles, we laid the groundwork for a protected Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem by analyzing the current threat landscape, implementing robust authentication and authorization, and exploring critical logging and runtime security measures. These focused on who can access what, and how to monitor those interactions. Now, we'll shift the focus to the physical and virtual environments in which these systems live. Of course, security-focused development is only half the battle. Deploying an MCP server with weak security protections can negate even the most robust code, as
