#red-hat — Public Fediverse posts

One of the most useful Red Hat products I use daily is also one of the least-known: the Red Hat Offline Knowledge Portal (RHOKP).

It is basically a self-hosted, locally searchable mirror of docs.redhat.com + the Red Hat Knowledgebase in a single container image.

Perfect for:

- air-gapped environments
- customer networks with painful proxies
- trains, planes, and terrible WiFi
- anyone who wants docs that still work offline

I wrote up how it works, why I think it matters, and how to run it locally with Podman:

Can enterprises replace costly cloud-hosted models with self-managed, open-weight #AI models to reduce #AIinference costs? What are the consequences if they don't?

As promised, my podcast interview with Stephen Watt, a distinguished engineer working on emerging technologies in #RedHat 's office of the CTO, in which we discuss a wide range of topics, including his team's quest to answer these questions and his outlook on the future of #enterpriseAI. #RHSummit

Self-hosted #AIinference was the talk of #RHSummit this week, but specific cost savings for early adopters, including BNP Paribas and Northrop Grumman, were tough to pin down among the devilish details of migrating and managing #AI workloads in private data centers.

According to Brian Stevens, SVP and AI CTO at #RedHat, the vendor's job is to "put an easy button" on the IT automation portion of that shift, alleviating some of the costs of complexity. A market research report by Omdia shows enterprises are already exploring lighter-weight AI models and self-hosting to avoid cloud-hosted AI budget blowouts.

Still, experts say there's a lot more to account for in self-hosted AI TCO than automation and open source. Check out the full story here: https://www.techtarget.com/searchitoperations/news/366642991/IT-orgs-face-tricky-cost-calculus-for-self-hosted-AI-inference

If you use #dnsmasq on @fedora or @centos Stream - be aware that there are recently disclosed CVEs - https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/471747

@SUSE at least rates one of them a 9.2 on the CVSS 4.0 scale

Fedora updates for stable releases are about to hit testing: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?search=dnsmasq-2.92rel2

and if you have the #CentOSHyperscale repo enabled you can `sudo dnf install centos-release-hyperscale-testing && sudo dnf update 'dnsmasq*'`

Please give feedback for the Fedora builds and for the Hyperscale ones if you give them a spin!

Well, at least maybe just maybe orgs can get a better grip on AI with products like what Ansible introduced.

“Why would you use AI just to patch a machine?” he says. “We all know tokens are expensive. We know the best way to patch a machine — why call an AI to do that when you already have a playbook that’s been in use for ten years?”

Yes, why would you use AI to patch a machine? I like how this is presented at least. We'll see how it works out. AI is here to stay in orgs for the forseeable future so IT departments need to look into ways to control these agents better.

It may even make the folks over in your SOC a little bit happier.

So, none of the four pillars actually mention "security." One can "infer" that 1) it's embedded (what are the odds?) or 2) it's an afterthought.

Seriously considering moving to a BSD as I watch Linux fall more and more to corporate influence.

The open source Linux kernel is dominated by major corporations.

Authors of some Linux kernel updates, that make #CopyFail and #DirtyFrag exploits possible, were paid employees of:

Red Hat - bought by IBM for $34 billion

Google - world’s largest search engine and digital advertising business

secunet - Germany’s largest cybersecurity company

atsec - global company that tests whether high‑security computer systems are actually secure
