IBM/Red Hat Leftovers

  • 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.

  • Open source on mainframes pushed

    Rocket Software (Rocket), a global technology leader that develops enterprise software for some of the world’s largest public and private sector companies, today unveiled an updated Rocket® Open AppDev for Z software, which breaks down existing siloes to unify DevOps for all platforms, including the mainframe, in a single pipeline. The enhanced offering provides a comprehensive DevOps/AppDev modernization solution entirely based in open source and updated to incorporate IBM® Open Enterprise SDK for Python—meeting market demand for modernization, cost reductions, and enablement of new talent.

  • 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.

  • Dell builds containerised ObjectScale on ECS base

    The vSAN support means that ObjectScale can run on Dell’s VxRail hyperconverged infrastructure appliance nodes. OpenScale supports Red Hat Open Shift v4.6 and has a bare-metal CSI driver.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
