Red Hat Powers Modern Virtualization on Microsoft Azure
Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, announced the public preview of Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Available as a self-managed operator included in Azure Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization offers organizations an accelerated path to modernization by streamlining the migration of virtual machines (VMs) from existing virtualization platforms to a scalable, cloud-native platform. Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a turnkey application platform that is jointly managed and supported by Red Hat and Microsoft, designed to help to reduce the complexities associated with managing the underlying infrastructure and empower IT teams to focus time and resources on innovation and modernization rather than routine maintenance. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift, organizations benefit from a more consistent hybrid cloud stack that can support VMs and containers alike to help significantly streamline application modernization and accelerate cloud-native strategies. This enables organizations to more effectively modernize existing critical VM infrastructure while continuing to evolve with new innovations that meet future business needs. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift empowers organizations to: Accelerate VM migration: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations quickly migrate and scale existing VM workloads with built-in migration tooling and automation capabilities, such as those through Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management , to simplify the migration process, minimize disruption and enable teams to quickly shift to modern infrastructure. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift helps organizations quickly migrate and scale existing VM workloads with built-in and automation capabilities, such as those through and , to simplify the migration process, minimize disruption and enable teams to quickly shift to modern infrastructure. Simplify operations: Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization on Azure Red Hat OpenShift provides a unified view of operations to more seamlessly manage both VMs and containers on the same platform across the hybrid cloud. Automated deployment and management of Red Hat OpenShift clusters further reduces complexity and risk.

Optimize resources: In addition to increasing DevOps productivity and decreasing the time to deploy applications with Azure Red Hat Openshift, further optimization can be realized with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by right-sizing VMs to better match workload needs. Built on the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes and Microsoft Azure's trusted cloud infrastructure, Azure Red Hat OpenShift delivers a future-ready platform with integrated security tooling, automation and management capabilities to extend innovation across the hybrid cloud. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is now available in public preview as a self-managed operator on Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Organizations can also apply their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) and utilize the Azure Migration and Modernization Program (AMMP) for Azure Red Hat OpenShift. Additionally, customers can use the Azure Hybrid Benefit to reuse existing on-premise licenses for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows Licenses. Red Hat Summit To listen to Red Hat Summit keynotes from Red Hat executives, customers and partners: Supporting Quotes Chris Wright, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Red Hat 'As organizations continue to modernize and move away from legacy virtualization solutions, it is critical to choose a secure computing foundation for the future that can adapt to their current and evolving multi-infrastructure environments. Building upon our extensive history of collaboration and joint engineering efforts with Microsoft Azure, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization running on Azure Red Hat OpenShift delivers more consistent orchestration for VMs and containers alike, setting organizations on a clear path to modern application development and deployment.' Brendan Burns, corporate vice president, Azure Compute, Microsoft 'As customers modernize and move their apps from traditional virtual-machine-based fabrics that are on-premises to modern Kubernetes platforms, some components still need to run on traditional virtual machines for a while. To address this, Microsoft and Red Hat are collaborating to bring open-source innovation from the KubeVirt project into Azure Red Hat OpenShift. What I'm most excited about is how this enables customers to add virtualization capabilities to Azure Red Hat OpenShift, which allows them to modernize at their own pace, and get the best return on investment as they transition to the cloud.'

Is AI the culprit in new wave of tech job losses?
Thousands of Africans are among tech workers who have lost their jobs this year, as hundreds of companies move to trim their workforce — an upheaval many have blamed on the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Last week, global software giant Microsoft announced retrenchment of three percent of its workforce – about 6,000 employees – across the globe, describing it as a move to optimise resources. But Microsoft is not alone. So far in 2025, at least 75,463 tech workers have been laid off globally, as 317 companies announce redundancies, according to tech talent consultancy and tracker TrueUp. Other major firms that have let go of staff this year include Google, TikTok, Amazon, Chegg, Electronic Arts, Meta, Intel, Canva, Hewlett-Packard (HP), AutoDesk and eBay, among others. While none of these companies has explicitly cited AI automation as the cause of their layoffs, many observers have pointed to the technology's rapid proliferation as the underlying threat – one that could jeopardise millions of jobs across the world. Yet experts in the industry view the concern differently, dismissing it as an overreaction to a shifting digital landscape.'AI cannot replace a developer. But an AI-proficient developer can replace another developer who has refused to embrace AI,' said Caleb Nyoiro, director of Zone 01 Kisumu, a training centre for tech workers.'I think it is now cliché to say that AI is replacing developers. Developers with AI proficiency will get more jobs and more money. That is the reality. It is only those who have shown no interest in learning AI that will lose their jobs.'Indeed, several studies suggest that AI is ultimately poised to create more jobs than it will eliminate – particularly in fields that demand higher-order thinking and innovation. A 2023 report by the World Economic Forum, for instance, projected that jobs requiring critical thinking, complex problem-solving and creativity are more likely to be enhanced than replaced by AI. Read: AI may not take your job anytime soon, says MITThese include roles such as software developers, engineers, and mathematicians, where AI is expected to augment about 80 percent of tasks, without fully taking over. Still, the impact will not be entirely painless. Data firm Statista estimated that 83 million jobs could be lost to AI between 2023 and 2027, while the technology is expected to create only 69 million new ones during the same period. Yet surprisingly, most professionals are not alarmed. A study published last month by the Pew Research Centre found that while 56 percent of Americans are 'extremely or very concerned' about AI-related job losses, only 25 percent of AI experts share that concern. The same study revealed that experts are far more optimistic than the public about the opportunities presented by AI. While they do worry about issues such as misinformation and digital impersonation, they express far less anxiety about AI-triggered job displacement. Even global financial institutions have dismissed blanket job displacements by AI. A January 2024 discussion paper by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggested that AI would widen income inequality – not because of massive job losses, but due to growing income gaps between workers who can adopt and use AI and those who can't. © Copyright 2022 Nation Media Group.
