Red Hat

Traditionally, reviewing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) lifecycle dates meant logging into the Hybrid Cloud Console, navigating to the Red Hat Lightspeed planning dashboard, and skimming through the lifecycle and digital roadmap pages yourself. Earlier this year, we introduced the Red Hat Lightspeed Model Context Protocol toolset so you can query these support timelines programmatically.

Context Red Hat OpenShift uses a purpose-built, immutable operating system for cluster nodes, commonly known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS).

-minute read As AI agents gain authority to act on enterprise systems, model safeguards alone are not enough. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright explains how Red Hat is delivering defense in depth across its portfolio through open source innovation, effectively securing agents by securing the surrounding identity, runtime, network, and infrastructure.

High School Internship program participants, pictured on their first day at Red Hat In July 2026, the second High School Internship Program kicked off in Boston and Raleigh. This unique internship, taking place over the course of four weeks, gives high school juniors and seniors a first glimpse into the professional world—laying a foundation they can continue to develop as they pursue their future academic and career goals.

Four years ago, I outlined a playbook for building an enterprise innovation engine. The goal was straightforward: establish a repeatable model for discovering, aligning, developing, and commercializing emerging technologies before market shifts pass you by. While those foundational phases still apply, the technology landscape under our feet has shifted dramatically. The arrival of agentic workflows has fundamentally changed how quickly an organization can translate research into portfolio impact.

IT decision makers and their teams often need a scalable private cloud to support optimizing IT operations as they adopt a foundation for cloud-native development. Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift brings massive scale to Infrastructure-as-a-Service, allowing virtualized and cloud-native workloads to coexist. Managed and deployed through a control plane on Red Hat OpenShift, this platform allows organizations to manage current workloads alongside new, cloud-native applications.

Organizations face a persistent challenge maintaining workplace safety, security, asset tracking, and operational compliance across facilities with multiple video feeds. Manual monitoring is resource-intensive, inherently reactive, and often misses critical events or patterns indicating safety risks.

Applications are moving beyond predefined workflows toward agentic systems that can reason, use tools, interact with enterprise data, execute code, delegate work and collaborate with other agents to accomplish goals. This has driven the development of new capabilities in areas like agent sandboxing to secure agent execution, AI gateways to secure access to models and tools, AgentOps for tracing, observability, evaluation and more.

We are proud to announce that Red Hat has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Container Management for the fourth consecutive year. As enterprise IT organizations scale modern container infrastructure across diverse cloud environments while rapidly adopting artificial intelligence (AI), Red Hat believes establishing a consistent, secure and resilient platform foundation becomes critical.
