Red Hat Summit
Welcome to the Australia Department of Defence page
Keep up with the latest news and updates curated to support your continued journey with Red Hat and open source technology.
Poised and ready
Red Hat’s open-source innovation provides the platform for integrated, agile and secure Defence capabilities
To continue protecting Australia’s security and prosperity, the Department of Defence and its supplier ecosystem must be able to act quickly. You need to proactively respond to emerging threats, incorporate cutting-edge technologies, upskill your workforce, and improve interoperability. But complex technology infrastructure and resource limitations have often led to project delays, system incompatibility, and an over-reliance on contractors.
We believe open-source technologies can help. Red Hat solutions – such as OpenShift, Ansible Automation Platform and Enterprise Linux – provide the interoperability and agility needed to address the risks in your infrastructure. As your strategic ICT partner, Red Hat is already helping you to develop these capabilities. But we believe there is even more we can do to strengthen your resilience, security and innovation, in line with your strategy for the next three years. Explore the resources below to discover the additional value that open source could add to Australia’s defences.
