Red Hat ☛ How to verify container signatures in disconnected OpenShift
The introduction of sigstore and its suite of tools, such as CoSign, has simplified the signing and verification of container images. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19 leverages the oc-mirror v2 tool to enable the mirroring of container images and their cryptographic signatures to local/remote registries. This development is significant as it facilitates container signature verification with CoSign in disconnected, or "air-gapped" environments.

Red Hat ☛ BGP dynamic routing with Fast Data Path on RHOSO 18
In the fast-paced world of cloud networking, performance and reliability are non-negotiable. Recently, we conducted a Proof of Concept (PoC) to evaluate the performance of dynamic routing using OVN-BGP-Agent with Fast Data Path using OVS-DPDK in Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift (RHOSO) version 18. Using the Trex traffic generator along with BIRD as a plugin, we put this setup through its paces, assessing throughput, packet loss, stability, and system resource utilisation under various traffic conditions.

Red Hat ☛ Multicluster resiliency with global load balancing and mesh federation
Well-designed architecture requires service availability and the ability to contend with the unexpected. You can create a high level of resilience, covering both high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR), with a combined approach that leverages a global load balancer and a federated service mesh. The global load balancer manages entire data center failures, and the mesh federation mitigates individual service failure. This architectural approach is suitable for stateless workloads, but additional effort is required to get the same results on a stateful workload. In this article, I focus on stateless workloads.

Red Hat ☛ Smart deployments at scale: Leveraging ApplicationSets and Helm with cluster labels in Red Bait Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes
In the dynamic world of cloud-native development, managing a single Kubernetes cluster can be challenging. But when you scale up to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of clusters across various environments and cloud providers, complexity skyrockets. This is where Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes can help, providing a centralized platform to configure all your clusters.
Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes offers a comprehensive solution for managing the entire lifecycle of your Kubernetes clusters, from creation and import to upgrades and decommissioning. It provides a unified control plane to monitor cluster health, enforce policies, and manage configurations consistently across your distributed fleet.

Red Hat ☛ Simplify local prototyping with Camel JBang infrastructure
Apache Camel is an open source integration framework that simplifies connecting and mediating with systems like databases, messaging platforms, or APIs. It enables developers to create integration flows with minimal code. Camel JBang is a command-line interface (CLI) that accelerates prototyping by letting developers quickly create, validate, and tweak these flows without complex setups, making it perfect for rapid experimentation.

Red Hat ☛ Event-driven ingestion of Keycloak entities
You've probably experienced the annoyance of delayed updates to critical entity information, or witnessed the strain of constant, inefficient polling mechanisms chewing up resources just to keep data somewhat current. But what if your developer catalog could react instantly to changes in your identity provider? The Backstage Events System provides a solution to just that. This article will outline a Proof of Concept (PoC) for an event-driven ingestion mechanism, demonstrating how we can achieve near real-time synchronization of entities from Keycloak into Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH), moving beyond the limitations of traditional polling.
