Jiri Eischmann: Fedora at LinuxDays 2024
Last weekend I went to Prague to represent Fedora at LinuxDays 2024. It’s the biggest GNU/Linux event in the country with more than a thousand attendees and the Fedora booth is busy there every year.
Like last year the Fedora booth was colocated with the Red Bait booth. It made sense not only because there is a relationship between the two, but it had very practical reasons: I was the only person representing and staffing the Fedora booth and I appreciated help from my colleagues who watch over the Fedora booth when I took a break to have a meal or give a talk.

The article A tutorial on Middleware Automation Collections discussed using the ansible-galaxy tool to install Ansible Content Collections on a control node. It also guides you in using the ansible-navigator utility and Ansible Execution Environments to perform automation tasks. Finally, an overview of the ansible-middleware-ee execution environment from the Ansible Middleware project is provided. It describes how this EE includes all of the Ansible Content Collections and their dependencies.
In this tutorial, we will leverage the ansible-middleware-ee Execution Environment as the basis for carrying out automation activities.

Red Hat Official ☛ What’s new in Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI 1.2
Enhanced training with PyTorch FSDP (technology preview)For multi-phase training of models with synthetic data, ilab train now uses PyTorch Fully Sharded Data Parallel (FSDP). This dramatically reduces training times by sharding a model’s parameters, gradients and optimizer states across data parallel workers (e.g., GPUs). Users can pick FSDP for their distributed training by using ilab config edit.

Red Hat Official ☛ Debugging image mode hosts
An important attribute of a bootable container is its immutability. An immutable operating system follows a different paradigm than traditional package-based systems. Immutability by default means security by design. Once deployed, the entire filesystem, with the exception of /etc and /var, is mounted read-only. This means that not even the root user has write privileges. Updates to the system are applied by downloading a new version of the bootable container image from a container registry, and then rebooting into the new state. It's a different way of approaching updates than using a package manager to update the system at runtime. It forces you to be intentional about changes to the operating system and gives you full state control.
