Configure a pod security context with Cryostat Operator | Red Hat Developer
Since Kubernetes 1.21, the old PodSecurityPolicy API is being deprecated and has been removed from versions 1.25 and later. This API will be replaced by the new built-in Pod Security Admission (PSA), which introduces a new set of Pod Security Standards. To support these standards, The Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform introduces new security context constraints (SCC) policies.
With these changes, especially starting with OpenShift 4.12, all namespaces will run in the restricted mode, and pods must be properly configured under the enforced security standards defined globally or on a namespace level to be admitted to launch. See discussions here. This has implications for Cryostat, a container-native JVM application that provides a secure API for profiling and monitoring containers with JDK Flight Recorder, if you're running it on OpenShift.

New enhancements in the Cryostat 2.2 JMC agent plugin | Red Hat Developer
The JDK Mission Control (JMC) agent is a powerful tool that allows users to inject custom JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) events into running applications without restarting the Java Virtual Machine. The new release of Cryostat 2.2 now offers a graphical user interface for communicating with the JMC Agent in containerized applications that support it. This article introduces the Cryostat JMC agent plugin and enhancements made in version 2.2.

Standardizing application delivery with OpenShift | Red Hat Developer
More and more organizations are adopting inner loop and outer loop constructs as part of their digital transformation and cloud-native development initiatives. This development strategy can improve developer productivity, reduce cognitive load, and standardize application delivery and deployment.
Figure 1 shows how the division into an inner loop and outer loop helps developers innovate and deploy applications faster with Red Hat OpenShift. There is a clear and physical distinction between the tasks performed by the developer and the larger CI/CD process.

Fedora Community Blog: Council election: Interview with Aleksandra Fedorova
In recent years Fedora achieved great results in becoming a user-friendly, easy to use, polished and reliable Linux distribution. I would like us to continue this work, but also to push towards more people becoming not just consumers of the Fedora distribution, but members of the Fedora community and contributors to the Fedora Project.
For that I think we need to continue updating and modernizing our communication channels and reduce barriers for people willing to contribute changes. We should create paths for occasional contributors to get deeper into the Project’s internals, so that they can eventually take over larger tasks and initiatives.

Now You Can Enrich Your Fedora Wiki Profile With Your Fediverse URL. | Bogomil Shopov
After a long time, I was trying to edit my Fedora wiki space and realized that I could not add my Fediverse ID there. Since this is the only “social media” I use now, I edited the userinfo template and added the missing details, so your profile can show your decentralized DID.
