The long-term strategy behind IBM's Red Hat purchase [Ed: IBM/Red Hat pay this publisher now; so puff pieces come out]
IBM's senior veep of software reiterated for Wall Street this week that OpenShift is the linchpin of Big Blue's overall multi-cloud strategy.
Speaking at Morgan Stanley's Technology, Media and Telecom conference, Tom Rosamilia said the OpenShift container management family, developed by Red Hat that IBM bought in 2019, was key to containerizing Big Blue's Cloud Pak software so that it's easier to run wherever customers choose. That could be on or off-premises, or a hybrid of the two.
"By rebasing our Cloud Paks on OpenShift, we've now moved all of our middleware to an environment where I can deploy on AWS, I can deploy it on Azure, I can deploy it on the IBM Cloud, and I can deploy it on prem," Rosamilia said.

Red Hat and SUSE latest to suspend sales in Russia
Red Hat has joined the growing list of tech companies to withdraw from Russia over the war in Ukraine, stopping sales just a day after Linux rival SUSE announced a similar move.
The IBM-owned open source business says it is discontinuing sales and services in Russia and Belarus, effective immediately. This withdrawal of service applies to organizations either located or headquartered in Russia or Belarus. Red Hat also said it is also ending partner relationships with organizations based or headquartered in the two countries.
Red Hat president and CEO Paul Cormier confirmed the move in a blog post, where he condemned the Russian military's invasion of Ukraine and said the company stands in unity with everyone affected by the violence.

The mainframe is dying: Long live the mainframe application!
Much has been made of the perilous future CIOs whose organizations rely on mainframes may soon have to navigate, but the reality of mainframe infrastructure’s long-term outlook is a little more nuanced than that, as two recent news announcements attest.
Fujitsu recently divulged it will end sales of its mainframes by April 2031, discontinuing support five years after that. But CIOs running workloads on Fujitsu’s GS21 mainframe family don’t need to cast around for a migration path just yet.
