Silicon Angle ☛ Red Hat builds Hey Hi (AI) trust with a new focus on data sovereignty [Ed: Paid-for spam (not really journalism) about something they dub Hey Hi (AI) trust]
The race to scale artificial intelligence is redefining how enterprises think about control, compliance and trust — and data sovereignty has emerged as the foundation for keeping innovation grounded. Across industries, organizations are rebalancing where data lives and how it moves. Security, governance and regional compliance now shape every infrastructure choice.

Red Hat Official ☛ Prepare for a post-quantum future with RHEL 9.7 [Ed: Namedropping buzzwords and hype]
RHEL 9 was released in 2022 and was an important step forward from a security perspective. It was the first version of RHEL that received FIPS 140-3 certification, matching current security requirements. However, a lot has happened since 2022. Security requirements have changed, and the era of post-quantum cryptography has arrived. For the sake of performance and stability, these new cryptographic algorithms can't be backported to earlier versions of most software the way many organizations have come to expect. Upgrading software today to bring continued stability, functionality, and protection in the post-quantum era is a must, and RHEL 9.7 can be your first step.

Red Hat Official ☛ The strategic shift: How Ford and Emirates NBD stopped paying the complexity tax for virtualization
The reality is that running two separate virtualization stacks creates silos, complexity, and unnecessary operational cost – what can be called the complexity tax. It slows down your operations and application teams, strains budgets, and ultimately makes it harder to deliver value to the business.

Red Hat Official ☛ A deeper look at post-quantum cryptography support in Red Hat OpenShift 4.20 control plane
Today's widely used public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), form the foundation of security-enhanced online communication. These systems are vulnerable to attacks from large-scale quantum computers, however, which can solve the mathematical problems underlying these algorithms with alarming speed. This has given rise to attacks in which adversaries record encrypted traffic today to decrypt it in the future once they have access to a powerful quantum computer. The same challenge applies to data at rest if an adversary manages to make a copy now to decrypt later.

Red Hat Official ☛ Create efficient two-node edge infrastructure with Red Hat OpenShift and Portworx/Pure Storage
The good news is that Red Hat OpenShift is evolving to meet this demand head-on. With the introduction of the two-node OpenShift with arbiter topology, Red Hat and partners like Portworx by Pure Storage are delivering a cost-efficient and resilient architecture designed specifically for the edge.

Red Hat Official ☛ Bringing intelligent, efficient routing to open source AI with vLLM Semantic Router [Ed: Red Hat trying to advance BS to help IBM prop up share value]
Simply put, not all prompts require the same level of reasoning. If a user has a simple request, like, "What is the capital of North Carolina?" a multi-step reasoning process required for say, a financial projection, isn’t necessary. If organizations use heavyweight reasoning models for every request, the result is both costly and inefficient. This dilemma is what we call the challenge of implementing reasoning budgets, and it’s why Red Hat developed vLLM Semantic Router, an open source project that intelligently selects the best model for each task, optimizing cost and efficiency while maximizing ease of use.
