Local Ansible Workshop | RHEL Source | Summit Connect Sacramento

Hello Red Hat Enthusiasts. Hope your summer has been going well. I’m looking forward to cooler weather in the coming months. This summer we’ve been conducting Ansible Automation Workshops and they have been a lot of fun and very well attended. Thank you to those who have participated and I look forward to another fun session August 29th (see below for information).

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Technical Workshop
VIRTUAL EVENT Hosted by ME !
REGISTRATION LINK

Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM PT

Date: Tuesday, August 29, 2023

Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform is an end-to-end automation platform to configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate advanced workflows. Ansible is a proven enterprise-platform used by Fortune 500 companies in the airline, government, and military sectors to create, manage, and scale automation strategies.

This workshop is intended as an introduction for people who want to learn the basics about Ansible Automation Platform including DevOps engineers, operations engineers, systems engineers, release engineers, system administrators, developers, operations staff, network engineers, security professionals, and anyone else interested in IT automation.

During this hands-on workshop, we’ll cover:

  • An overview of public cloud provisioning.
  • Converting shell commands into Ansible commands.
  • Retrieving information from hosts.
  • Deploying applications at scale.
  • Self-service IT via surveys.
  • An overview of system roles for Red Hat Enterprise Linux®.
  • An overview of Red Hat Insights integration.

Space is limited, so sign up today. A waitlist will be available.

Changes to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code delivery route
Creating a new model for collaboration and success

In June 2023, Red Hat announced that we are fully investing in and committed to CentOS Stream as the upstream development platform for RHEL and to some that meant that Red Hat was turning into a closed source company so I’d like to provide details to clarify the changes for which you will find that Red Hat is still making the source code available.

Key facts to understand:

  • Customers and partners can continue to access Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources via access.redhat.com.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux remains a 100% open source based product.
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code is still publicly available via CentOS Stream.
  • Red Hat still complies with the General Public License (GPL) and other open source licenses. 

This change is simply the next step towards our goal of creating a space for even more open, transparent collaboration and participation.

Mike McGrath has written two detailed blog posts outlining the past, present and future of pushing our source code and where it still can be downloaded. Please refer to Furthering the evolution of CentOS Stream as well as Red Hat’s commitment to open source: A response to the git.centos.org changes. “CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases. For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal.” – Mike McGrath.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the changes and I’ll be happy to discuss and clarify.
