Your guide to Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) at Red Hat Summit 2026

We're excited to share what's coming for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) at Red Hat Summit 2026. Sessions will cover everything from virtual machine (VM) modernization and AI workload scaling to cost optimization and developer velocity.

If you're new to the service, ROSA is a fully managed OpenShift platform, jointly engineered and supported by Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS). It's a service that lets you build, deploy, and manage containerized, virtualized, and AI-enabled applications, providing the user with a consistent hybrid cloud experience while Red Hat and AWS handle the underlying infrastructure and operations.

We have a packed schedule at Red Hat Summit 2026, so use this guide to navigate the key sessions that focus on ROSA-, along with related customer stories and activities.
