Red Hat announced new end-to-end Kubernetes-native decision management capabilities as part of the latest release of Red Hat Process Automation. Based on the open source Kogito project, the new capabilities enable individual business decisions to be created and deployed as containerized microservices that are managed by Kubernetes alongside other containers in the application environment, reducing redundancy and the footprint of traditional decision management systems when deploying in cloud-native environments like Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat announced Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform on Microsoft Azure, enabling organizations to tap into the benefits of a cloud-based architecture for modernizing their existing Jakarta EE applications and building new ones on Azure. Customers can bring existing applications to Azure-including JBoss EAP applications running on-premises or other Jakarta EE applications running on different application servers-choosing how they want to manage business critical, Java-based applications in the cloud.

Red Hat this week announced that it's taking the first steps towards open-sourcing the StackRox container security product for Kubernetes. Announced only months after Red Hat bought StackRox, the new StackRox community project follows the organization's business model of providing open source enterprise solutions.

As Kubecon Europe gets under way, Red Hat has pushed out StackRox, the Kubernetes security product it acquired earlier this year, as an open-source project which will be the upstream for its Advanced Cluster Security for OpenShift. The StackRox product is itself deployed as a Kubernetes application and has several components, aiming to pick up vulnerabilities in both container images and in Kubernetes, look for misconfigurations such as unnecessarily elevated privileges, perform rule-based threat detection, and more.

Red Hat announced the general availability of OpenShift GitOps and OpenShift Pipelines, new features of Red Hat OpenShift.

Red Hat OpenShift API Management, Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka and Red Hat OpenShift Data Science are designed to deliver a fully-managed and streamlined user experience as organizations build, deploy, manage and scale cloud-native applications across hybrid environments. Red Hat OpenShift API Management offers full application programming interface lifecycle management to Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated and Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS. Combining managed operations with native OpenShift integration enables organizations to focus on innovation and development in building, managing and scaling API-first, microservices-based applications instead of infrastructure.

IBM, Red Hat and Cobuilder announced a global collaboration to co-develop OpenBuilt, a new platform designed to help securely connect fragmented construction industry supply chains. Built on Red Hat OpenShift and running on IBM Cloud, OpenBuilt will offer new digital solutions to help innovate and drive more efficient, sustainable and safer construction projects.

Red Hat announced a collaboration with NEC Corporation to deliver 5G solutions built on Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform. With NEC's 5G core network solutions running on Red Hat OpenShift, organizations will be able to capitalize on 5G across a broad set of use cases including 5G core, 5G radio access networks, edge computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and more, helping them create new revenue opportunities.
