Red Hat and Microsoft have extended their partnership through at least 2024, bringing confidence to their mutual customers that the benefits of Red Hat solutions on Azure will continue for many more years.

Red Hat's Quarkus project aims to raise Java up to the cloud and update the popular programming language for cloud-based computing situations and projects.

While management and automation technologies have always been instrumental to enterprise IT governance, their importance grows as organizations grapple with the resulting increased speed, scale and complexity.

What Red Hat is doing with Command Line Heroes, Open Source Stories, Because We Had To, and other branded content projects is basically the same - we're telling our audience that open source matters, that it’s exciting, and that we are here as a company to nurture and protect it.

The OpenShift Commons Gathering at Red Hat Summit brings together experts from all over the world to discuss the technologies and open source software projects that underpin the OpenShift ecosystem to help take us to the next level in cloud-native computing. The gathering will feature speakers from NASA, Volkswagen, Microsoft Azure and Red Hat's CEO Jim Whitehurst.
