Source of Truth: Red Hat Lightspeed in the Mythos Era: AI models can now scan hundreds of millions of lines of code in seconds. But finding a bug isn’t the same as fixing a production emergency. Frontier AI models like Claude Mythos have fundamentally shifted cybersecurity by automating complex vulnerability research and exploit chaining at scale. However, discovering vulnerabilities is only half the battle; the real enterprise nightmare is the resulting signal-to-noise explosion. In this session, we’ll demonstrate why Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights) remains indispensable in this new era. We will cover how Lightspeed provides the operational context, deterministic telemetry, and automated Ansible remediation required to turn AI noise into prioritized, automated defense.
Presenter: Trey Prinz, Associate Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat
Streamlining Developer Workflows with Red Hat Build of Podman Desktop and OpenShift: This session showcases modern developer workflows using Red Hat’s Build of Podman Desktop and OpenShift, illustrating how developers can efficiently build, test, and deploy containerized applications from their local desktop environment to an enterprise Kubernetes platform.
The demonstration features a practical example of an end-to-end workflow: building, managing, and testing AI-integrated applications, followed by connecting to OpenShift clusters and deploying applications directly through the Podman Desktop interface.
Designed for developers, DevOps engineers, platform architects, and IT decision-makers evaluating modern container development patterns, this session highlights the integration between Podman Desktop's developer-friendly tooling and OpenShift's powerful enterprise Kubernetes platform.
