Copy Red Hat introduced new managed cloud services at its 2021 summit and expanded the OpenShift Kubernetes platform with improved security, management, and Edge deployment features. CEO Paul Cormier kicked off yesterday's keynote with a speech in praise of open source, stating that "it's only the open-source model that brings collaboration across many global communities." He reminisced about the first non-beta release of Red Hat Linux in May 1995. At the time Linux needed more enterprise attributes if companies were going to bet their businesses on it, he said, and the 2003 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) was "introduced to bridge this gap."
