OpenShift is best known for running container-based applications at scale. However, not every application can be or should be containerized. OpenShift Virtualization closes the gap between modern cloud-native architectures and those virtual-machine based solutions. In part 1, we will cover OpenShift Virtualization, some newer features that have just been released, and navigate the seamless migration journey from legacy virtualization systems with the aid of Veeam Kasten.

Operating system deployments and upgrades are essential for any sysadmin and will remain a cornerstone of IT management. In this session, we will take you through Red Hat’s approach to simplify and scale these processes by using the right tools, including Image Builder, in-place upgrades, Satellite, and Automation. Attendees will also get a sneak peek into the future of RHEL, envisioning the possibility of building and upgrading systems at scale using bootable containers.

You will also learn practical insights on how to implement security controls on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, from disk encryption to application whitelisting, security hardening, and more. We will also emphasize the importance of maintaining SELinux in your security strategy.

This session explores how Red Hat simplifies AI adoption through its platforms, Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI). You will learn to develop, test, and run predictive and generative AI models in open hybrid cloud environments.

The InstructLab project will be highlighted for its role in simplifying GenAI model alignment and fostering community collaboration. Additionally, we will highlight IBM Research’s partnership with Red Hat to open source IBM Granite LLMs and InstructLab tools. By leveraging the LAB methodology, this collaboration provides an enterprise-supported foundation for the development of GenAI models.

As the virtualization landscape evolves, IT leaders must reassess their virtual machine management strategies. This session will explore how the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform enhances virtual machine management with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and beyond. Attendees will learn effective automation strategies for integrating AI into existing enterprise technology, focusing on breaking down silos, improving governance, and driving operational efficiency. You will gain insights into the impact of enterprise automation and AI adoption on teams, along with transformation lessons that can be applied within your organization.
