OpenShift Showcase Live Virtual Event

Chris Morgan, Vice President, Technical Marketing, Evangelism & Strategic Initiatives

The experimentation phase of cloud-native is over. You’re still running VMs and containers, landing AI, securing the software supply chain, and keeping it all alive across hybrid environments. Adding another tool doesn’t help. You need the platform you already trust to get more intelligent, more secure, and more predictable—without asking you to start over.

That’s the future of OpenShift. Intelligence is moving into the core of the platform: natural-language operations in the console, fleet-wide health in plain English, AI that correlates incidents instead of drowning you in alerts, and agentic pipelines that keep delivery moving without bypassing security. VMs and containers stay on one foundation. You keep choice—and control—wherever the work runs.

In this session, we’ll look at OpenShift through the lens of the IT practitioner: how a proven application platform brings together virtualization, containers, and AI; how OpenShift Lightspeed and Advanced Cluster Management cut the operational grind; and how policy-as-code plus human-in-the-loop automation lets teams ship faster without giving up the supply chain.

Then we’ll put it on the floor with a live demonstration—what’s possible today, and where OpenShift is headed next. Come see the future of OpenShift, and what it means for how you’ll operate IT tomorrow.

James Labocki, Senior Director, Product Management - Red Hat

With frontier AI models like Mythos and Daybreak driving Time to Exploit to near zero, automated threats now target software supply chains at machine speed, rendering manual security workflows obsolete. This session introduces Project Lightwell, a joint Red Hat and IBM initiative that acts as a trusted clearinghouse combining AI vulnerability discovery with human engineering to rapidly deliver validated open-source fixes. Learn how Red Hat enables enterprises to seamlessly deploy these signed, patched artifacts into production via its delivery infrastructure—ensuring SLSA Level 3 compliance and fully reproducible builds. A live demonstration will showcase the end-to-end workflow: detecting an AI-era exploit threat, and automatically validating and deploying Lightwell-remediated packages at scale without compromising stability.
