Empower teams with Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite
Overview
Red Hat® Advanced Developer Suite is a premium bundle of tools that enables governed developer and AI agent productivity while strengthening supply chain defense. Powered by Red Hat Developer Hub as the enterprise context layer (via Model Context Protocol servers), you get unified visibility, context-aware AI grounding with policy guardrails, and automated governance to build, deploy, and rapidly ship Lightwell patch remediations from source code to production—all within strict enterprise security standards.
What’s included
Red Hat Developer Hub
An internal developer portal (IDP) based on Backstage that serves as the enterprise context layer—using Model Context Protocol servers to ground developers and AI coding agents with governed golden paths, architectural standards, and organizational context.
Intelligent assistants for developers
Assist developers with daily non-coding tasks and automates code modernization. By reasoning over a governed software catalog or modernization rulesets, developers get compliant answers and code.
Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer
A scalable service for cryptographically signing and verifying software artifacts, container images, AI models, and metadata to ensure end-to-end supply chain provenance.
Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer
A centralized console for real-time visibility into software risk, software bill of materials (SBOM) management, and exploit intelligence—using AI-powered vulnerability analysis to filter non-exploitable CVEs.
Trusted software factory
An integrated, policy-enforced pipeline framework that embeds SLSA Level 3 attestations, cryptographic signing, and declarative security checks directly into CI/CD workflows.
Lightwell integration
Connects 3rd-party open source dependency remediations directly into policy-gated pipelines, enabling automated, zero-downtime patch-to-production deployment onto Red Hat OpenShift.
End-to-end trust and transparency
Powered by the Trusted Software Factory architecture included in Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite, platform teams embed automated supply chain guardrails directly into the software development lifecycle. By automating cryptographic signing, real-time risk assessment, and policy enforcement across human and agentic workflows, you deliver verifiable trust and auditable compliance—without creating developer friction or letting AI agents operate out of bounds.
