Feature flags are a software development technique that allows teams to enable, disable or change the behavior of certain features or code paths in a product or service, without modifying the source code.OpenFeature is an open standard that provides a vendor-agnostic, community-driven API for feature flagging that works with your favorite feature flag management tool.Standardizing feature flags unifies tools and vendors behind a common interface, avoiding vendor lock-in at the code level. It provides a framework for building extensions and integrations that can be shared across the community.

Mike Barrett (Red Hat) and Derek Carr (Red Hat) openly discuss the decisions they must make when a technology evolves including navigating the constraints, cluster boundaries, application networking, AI workloads and open source collaborations.

IBM engineers have been working through some multi-block allocator improvements for the EXT4 file-system driver. In particular, they aim to address some shortcomings that were discovered when running various tests on IBM POWER hardware with a 64k block size. The EXT4 multi-block allocator improvements were originally sent out in “request for comments” form back in January while now have been cleaned up and sent out as a formal patch series. When running FS-Mark with 64 threads, IBM testing is showing results going from around ~5,000 files/sec to ultimately up to around ~30,000 files/sec. Yes, a +500% improvement being reported for their setup and using a 64k block size. Those interested in more information on this EXT4 multi-block allocator work via this patch series.

KBE Insider interviews Erik van Weert, Solution Architect, OpenShift at Achmea while in Amsterdam for KubeCon Europe. Erik shares key advantages and disadvantages of open source software as compared to commercial proprietary software, especially in adaptation. We also discuss the challenges of Erik’s team while supporting development teams at Achmea to adopt the philosophy of Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, and containerized services. Watch to learn Erik’s approaches to solve those challenges and his next-steps!

CentOS Linux is a community-supported distribution derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is functionally comparable with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is widely deployed across on-premise data centers and in public cloud environments. CentOS Linux 7 will reach its end of life (EOL) on June 30, 20241. Systems running CentOS Linux 7 will stop receiving software updates and patches from the CentOS community after this time. Red Hat understands the challenges this presents to the CentOS Linux user base; particularly to those users who have deployed CentOS Linux 7 for business critical workloads

When we first launched in-place upgrades using the new Leapp framework at Red Hat Summit in 2019, we asked our panel of Red Hat Accelerators if it was something they’d actually use. They ALL said, “probably not.” They viewed major version Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) upgrades as a chance to replace hardware and to clear up technical debt. But things seem to have changed. Here what our customers are telling us in 2023: Source: Annual Linux market report for 2021 What caused this change? Almost all of our customers have started thinking about hardware upgrades and software up
