Implementing best practices: Controlled network environment for Ray clusters in Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.0

by No author

The adoption of Ray for scalable AI and ML workloads has skyrocketed. The Ray framework is powerful, but as the official documentation emphasizes, developers or platform providers are responsible for their own security.With Red Hat OpenShift AI, we are committed to providing a production-ready environment for complex AI workloads, and we recognize that robust security is important. That's why we're enhancing the existing controlled network environment (CNE) for Ray Clusters in OpenShift AI 3.0 and delivering that natively with KubeRay. CNE is an opinionated, platform-enforced policy that strea

From incident responder to security steward: My journey to understanding Red Hat's open approach to vulnerability management

by No author

For years, my career in cybersecurity was defined by a sense of urgency and criticality. As a leader of incident response teams, I lived on the front lines, constantly reacting to the latest software vulnerabilities, cyberattacks, and anomalies. My days were a blur of alerts, patch deployments, and the relentless pressure to mitigate risk and restore operations. It was a challenging, high-stakes environment where every vulnerability felt like a direct threat.Now, I've traded the immediate firefight for a more proactive battlefield as a manager within Red Hat Product Security.

Solving the scaling challenge: 3 proven strategies for your AI infrastructure

by No author

Every team that starts experimenting with generative AI (gen AI) eventually runs into the same wall: scaling it. Running 1 or 2 models is simple enough. Running dozens, supporting hundreds of users, and keeping GPU costs under control, is something else entirely.Teams often find themselves juggling hardware requests, managing multiple versions of the same model, and trying to deliver performance that actually holds up in production. These are the same kinds of infrastructure and operations challenges we have seen in other workloads, but now applied to AI systems that demand far more resources

Slash VM provisioning time on Red Hat Openshift Virtualization using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

by No author

Developers are accustomed to the cloud, where a virtual machine (VM) can be launched in seconds. But in many enterprises, especially in regulated industries, requesting and receiving a VM can take a staggering 60 to 90 days. This kind of delay can stifle innovation and slow down critical projects. But what if you could provide your developers with a more seamless, self-service experience that delivers a fully configured VM in under an hour, with automated lifecycle management? This isn't a far-off dream, it's a reality you can build with Red Hat's integrated toolset.Three pillars of a modern I

How Red Hat OpenShift AI simplifies trust and compliance

by No author

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping every industry, but in highly regulated sectors, success isn’t measured only by accuracy but also by trust. Public agencies, healthcare providers, and financial institutions face a common challenge of delivering the benefits of AI while staying compliant with frameworks like FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST 800-53.These standards set the rules for encryption, access control, auditing, and data handling. They also introduce operational constraints that limit where and how AI runs.Red Hat OpenShift AI helps to bridge that divide, allowing organization
