As your organization scales its Red Hat OpenShift platform to support mission-critical workloads, your networking requirements often extend beyond a single load balancing solution. Many environments adopt a hybrid approach: Use software-defined load balancers (such as MetalLB) for internal, east-west traffic, and rely on enterprise-grade appliances like F5 BIG-IP to handle public-facing ingress at the network edge. However, operating multiple load balancer controllers within the same OpenShift cluster requires careful governance. Without clear boundaries, controllers can attempt to manage the
We’ve long moved past the era where open source was just a collection of parts; today, it’s the factory itself. Whether you are building AI agents with MCP or migrating legacy virtual machines (VMs) to a unified platform, the value isn't just in the code—it’s in the 'golden path' that gets that code into production safely. This roundup takes a look behind the curtain at the tools and frameworks, like Konflux and llm-d, that are turning complex engineering challenges into repeatable enterprise successes.
