Hybrid cloud in 2023: 5 predictions from IT leaders
Hybrid cloud is a technical and architectural strategy, to be sure. But the term also reflects a philosophical shift and the modern reality for CIOs: Delivering strategic business value requires much more agility and flexibility in your technology stack than ever.
That principle will be on full display in 2023 as more and more organizations and their IT leaders lean into that reality – and recognize how and why a hybrid cloud strategy enables that agility and flexibility. One-environment-fits-all approaches to running workloads typically don’t.
[...]
As Haff notes, hybrid cloud is widely applicable across various industries. Expect those different sectors to gain a ton of momentum in 2023 in terms of identifying the tangible value of the hybrid cloud architecture – and the hybrid-edge pairing – for their specific industries.
That might be most apparent in the telecommunications space, where Ian Hood, chief strategist for global industries, Red Hat, expects to see accelerating deployment of hybrid edge application clouds – both to pursue their own business goals and to better support their enterprise customers’ cloud and edge strategies.

Manage OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka with AKHQ | Red Hat Developer
At Red Hat, we are often asked what consoles and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can be used with our Kafka products, Red Hat AMQ Streams and Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka. Because our products are fully based on the upstream Apache Kafka project, most available consoles and GUIs designed to work with Kafka also work with our Kafka products. This article illustrates the ease of integration through a look at AKHQ, an open source GUI for Apache Kafka.
[...]
At a high level, Apache Kafka's architecture is quite simple. It's based on a few concepts such as brokers, topics, partitions, producers, and consumers. However—as with any system—when you deploy, operate, manage, and monitor a production Kafka cluster, things can quickly become complex. To use and manage Kafka clusters in both development and production environments, there are numerous tools on the market, both commercial and open source. These tools range from scripts, GUIs, and powerful command-line interfaces (CLIs) to full monitoring, management, and governance platforms. Each type of tool offers value in specific parts of the software development cycle.
This article shows how to connect AKHQ to a Kafka instance in Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka, a managed cloud service. Using our no-cost, 48-hour trial of OpenShift Streams, you can follow along with the steps. By the end of the article, you will be able to use AKHQ to manage your Kafka instance.
