Red Hat Official ☛ Rationalizing virtualized workloads: Load balancers and reverse proxies
In many cases, this migration consists of a lift-and-shift (rehosting) approach, in which a virtual machine (VM) is moved from a source platform to OpenShift Virtualization while retaining the same network identity (MAC addresses, IP addresses, and so on). Essentially, the hypervisor and VM orchestrator change, but everything else remains the same. This is suitable when the objective is to replatform quickly.

Peter Czanik: Experimental syslog-ng container image based on Alma Linux
The official syslog-ng container image is based on Debian Stable. However, we’ve been getting requests for an RPM-based image for many years. So, I made an initial version available based on Alma GNU/Linux and now I need your feedback about it!
This image uses the “init” variant of Alma GNU/Linux 9 containers as a base image. What does this mean? Well, it uses systemd service management inside, making it possible to run multiple services from a single container. While only syslog-ng is included right now, I also plan to add the syslog-ng Prometheus exporter to the image.

Red Hat ☛ RHEL Hey Hi (AI) in action: Streamline Hey Hi (AI) workflows with RAG, LAB, and RAGLAB
This article details the use of Red Hat Enterprise GNU/Linux AI (RHEL AI) for fine-tuning and deploying Granite LLM models on Managed Cloud Services (MCS) data. We outline the techniques and steps involved in the process, including methods such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), model fine-tuning (LAB), and RAGLAB, which leverages iLAB. Additionally, we demonstrate the integration of these methods to develop a chatbot using a Streamlit app.
