The AI-ready enterprise is here. But what does that mean? Host David Walker is joined by Principal Software Engineer Sally O’Malley to recap the Day 2 Keynote from Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta, where the focus shifted from the "what" of AI to the practical "how," with help from an imaginative, interactive demo built around a lemonade stand.
In this recap, we look at how Red Hat is tackling the complexity of modern infrastructure—from providing indefinite support for mission-critical systems, to launching the Ansible Automation Orchestrator for governed AI workflows. This approach balances systems that can never change with the need for rapid AI innovation.
In this video, you will learn about:
- Choice with control: How Ashesh Badani SVP and Chief Product Officer Ashesh Badani defines the Red Hat approach to running any workload on a consistent foundation.
- The RHEL lifecycle: The launch of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Long-Life Add-On for long-term support, and RHEL for NVIDIA for rapid hardware innovation.
- The introduction of Red Hat Hardened Images: micro-sized, pre-hardened container images provided at no additional cost.
- AgentOps and security: How Red Hat OpenShift transforms AI agents from "shadow IT" into auditable workloads.
