Grab your coffee and join Red Hat for the next Cloud Friday, a technical meetup for the builders, architects, and platform leaders.

Your organization is all-in on hybrid cloud, but is your platform? Your teams are likely juggling separate environments: one for new cloud-native apps, one for legacy VMs, and another silo for that "priority" AI project. This sprawl is complex, costly, and slows everyone down.

What if you could run it all on a consistent, managed platform, natively in the cloud?

In this technical overview, we'll explore how Red Hat OpenShift cloud services, like Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) and OpenShift Dedicated on Google Cloud provide a unified foundation for your entire application portfolio. This isn't a high-level sales pitch; it's a "look-under-the-hood" kind of event.

Join us to see how to:
-Establish the foundation: Move beyond DIY Kubernetes and reduce operational toil.
-Consolidate the legacy: Use Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization to run and manage your existing VMs right alongside containers.
-Accelerate the future: Deploy a complete MLOps lifecycle with OpenShift AI, all on the same managed platform.

This session is ideal for Platform Engineers, Cloud and Enterprise Architects, and IT Ops and Infrastructure Managers who want to simplify operations and scale.
 

Let’s face it — in 2026, AI isn’t just in the story… it is the story.

At Predict 2026, Techstrong’s annual crystal-ball-gazing event, we’re throwing out the playbook and giving our “Person of the Year” award to the one entity that never sleeps, never eats, and already knows what we’re going to say next: AI.
From Agentic AI that’s starting to think for itself (and maybe outsmart us), to AI factories churning out intelligence at industrial scale, to the data centers that have become the new oil fields of the digital age — we’ll explore how AI is powering an entire new AI economy. Whether you’re coding it, securing it, scaling it, or just trying to make sense of it, this is where we’ll predict how the machines will shape the year ahead.
Come for the insights. Stay for the existential crisis.
 After all — if 2026 belongs to anyone, it’s AI.
