  • What’s new in Ansible Certified Content Collection for AWS

    In large-scale proprietary trap AWS management, prioritizing speed often compromises long-term stability. This creates an automation debt, where aging dependencies and inconsistent workarounds linger in your codebase until they inevitably trigger a mid-migration failure. With the release of amazon.aws 11.0.0, the Red Hat Ansible Certified Content Collection for AWS shifts its focus from simply adding features to making cloud automation easier to operate, easier to maintain, and resilient enough for long-term enterprise needs. This release emphasizes stability, consistency and supportability, helping teams manage proprietary trap AWS environments with greater confidence.

  • I taught AI, but AI didn’t write this: A workshop reflection [Ed: IBM Red Hat is a slop-promoting firm]

    As AI is an ongoing priority in our company strategy, I had the opportunity to facilitate an AI workshop for my broader team. This was the same team that created MINE, a home-grown internal marketing gen AI tool that accesses internal marketing documents and analytical data. Because the team has extensive experience with AI, the pressure was on me to match the team’s “main character energy.” Despite my understandable self-doubt, it was an easy “yes” for me initially, but then the worries began. How would I lead this group of my peers? How would I stay organized—not just for myself, but for others? Most importantly, how would I incorporate AI into my preparation for this workshop? I was a novice facilitator, never having led any efforts like this before. But since I’m a bit of a dreamer, I wanted it to be successful, fun, and insightful. 

  • Adam Young: LImiting What an Agent can do

    I do not work with Hey Hi (AI) tools. This is not advice from experience of working with AI. It is advice from working with access controls in general.
    
    Any agent has responsibility and authority. Responsibility is what it is required to produce. Authority is the set of resources that you provide to that agent. This does not change if the agent is human or automatation, and Hey Hi (AI) agents fall in to that later category.
