Testing and Ops
Red Hat’s Office of the CTO has a new motto: “Operate first!” It acknowledges the fact that great innovations don’t amount to much if they can’t be implemented and operated. Building a complex system is a tough job, but even tougher is discovering ways to systematize and automate the testing of these systems and then creating the frameworks and tools for operating them, often by embedding AI into predicting and avoiding failures or finding optimization pathways. Our researchers are actively contributing to the field of automated cloud operations and AIOps.
