I’m heading to Denver, CO the week of November 18th to participate in AutoCon 2, an event dedicated to network automation. Although this is my first time at AutoCon 2, I’m already familiar with many of the names on the agenda from the network engineering community. It’s going to be an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow engineers and operators, exchange insights, and dive into topics around automation, orchestration, and observability.On November 19th, I will join two of my Red Hat colleagues to lead a workshop titled “Network resiliency with event-driven automation using Ans

Traditional network observability methods rely heavily on analytics and dashboards, and require users to manually sift through extensive data to derive actionable insights.Additionally, the telemetry data used in most of the network monitoring solutions is one-dimensional and isn't granular enough to deterministically identify the root cause of service degradation. Monitoring solutions are either based on performance metrics data for application monitoring or resource utilization data for infrastructure monitoring. Additionally, policy configuration (security and quality of service (QoS) polic

When using the public cloud there are always challenges which need to be overcome. Organizations lose some of the control over how security is handled and who can access the elements which, in most cases, are the core of the company's business. Additionally, some of those elements are controlled by local laws and regulations.This is especially true in the Financial Services and Insurance Industry (FSI) where regulations are gradually increasing in scope. For example in the EU, the emerging Digital Operational Resiliency Act (DORA) now includes the protection and handling of data while it is ex

As Red Hat's product portfolio of various products expands, we are offering more delivery options and methods to give customers more flexibility in how they use and consume Red Hat products.Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) underpins Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes. RHCOS demonstrates the flexibility that Red Hat delivers to customers by providing a comprehensive, dedicated and container-optimized base operating system.As part of our Secure Software Development Lifecycle (Secure SDLC) practices, Red Hat provides granula

A lot of time and effort is put into writing security-focused software. Hardware vendors routinely add new features that help software developers increase the security of their software. Memory safe languages like Rust that help developers write safer code are becoming more and more popular. However, advancements in software security can be rendered useless if the supply chain for delivering software is compromised. As we’ve seen with the recent xz incident, a supply chain vulnerability can be exploited with malicious intent. In the LLVM project, we've been working to secure our own sof

Red Hat Insights has expanded its recommendation capabilities to security software by integrating with CrowdStrike, a security provider which provides protection across endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data.

It may seem that with automation and agility, an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is outdated or old school. I don't think we've seen the end of this methodology yet, though. ITIL has served numerous IT organizations as a guideline and blueprint for processes, and it continues to be a significant tool for the IT professional. You can modernize your approach to ITIL with the automation of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and the principles of infrastructure-as-code (IaC), to make ITIL agile, automated and more relevant than ever, including:Configuration managementChange

Thirty years ago on Halloween night, Red Hat revealed its very first release. Codenamed “Halloween” and officially named Red Hat Software (RHS) Linux, this early version was what would eventually become Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It included 223 packages on a CD-ROM, with over 400 additional software packages available over the old file transfer protocol (FTP). Its mission was to be the easiest Linux distribution to install and maintain. It included a prompt-based installer, nearly 200 pages of documentation, and 30 days of installation support. I’ve never installed the Halloween r
