Check this out -- an enterprise IT news story in 2026 that does not -- repeat, does NOT -- involve or even mention AI. How about that?

If you'd told me 10 years ago I'd be writing about hypervisors in 2026, you could've knocked me over with a feather.

But that's exactly what this dispatch from #RHSummit is about -- companies including Cleveland Clinic, Emirates NBD and FedHIVE escaping skyrocketing #VMware bills from #Broadcom and finding refuge with #RedHat and its #OpenShift Virtualization platform. Also features news updates about the product this week, including a new migration utility

One of the most useful Red Hat products I use daily is also one of the least-known: the Red Hat Offline Knowledge Portal (RHOKP).

It is basically a self-hosted, locally searchable mirror of docs.redhat.com + the Red Hat Knowledgebase in a single container image.

Perfect for:

- air-gapped environments
- customer networks with painful proxies
- trains, planes, and terrible WiFi
- anyone who wants docs that still work offline

I wrote up how it works, why I think it matters, and how to run it locally with Podman:

Really proud to see Red Hat publish the official HIN & VSHN success story 🚀

Together with HIN, we built a sovereign cloud-native healthcare platform on Red Hat OpenShift across Swiss cloud providers 🇨🇭

Does anyone have any good tutorials on building a simple image with Tekton? I found lots of tutorials, most using Kaniko (see my other too, archived by Google in 2025) or tasks from the Tekton Hub (which seems to no longer be available?)

EDB is heading to Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta this May to show what sovereign, production-grade AI looks like when it's built on infrastructure you actually own.

The EDB and Red Hat collaboration centers on EDB Postgres AI on Red Hat #OpenShift, a unified data layer that handles both structured data and vector embeddings in a single #Postgres instance, eliminating the need for separate vector stores or proprietary pipelines: https://www.enterprisedb.com/blog/edb-red-hat-summit-2026-building-ai-ground-you-own

Red Hat and Tesla engineers tackled a real production problem together.

3x output tokens/sec, 2x faster TTFT on Llama 3.1 70B with KServe + llm-d + vLLM. Fixes pushed upstream to KServe along the way.

This is what open source looks like. 🤝 🚀

New Fedora Podcast episode!! 🎙️
What does bootc actually look like when it's running in production? James Harmison joins us to talk about building custom bootc images across wildly different contexts: NVIDIA drivers, AGX Orin hardware, replacing RHCOS in OpenShift, and even a couch gaming rig.
Real world. Real use cases. No lab bubbles.

Fun weekend playing with Go to build a CLI + Web app dashboard to display commit/RC/Release deployment on our openshift cluster.

Data from Gitlab, Harbor, Openshift, Argocd

Multi namespaces, multi clusters, build RC tag & deploy to many with image build retag.

This is the third iteration of this idea originally developed in bash, then Python and now Go

the CLI is also able to act as a release manager tool, this means it uses Gitlab API to create SemVer RC tags that our tekton pipelines process differently on each environment:

• commit based build, test, deploy
• RC tag based that build, test, deploy in acceptance
• retag RC image to staging
• retag RC image to production
