Red Hat News, Tuesday, June 27,2023
If you've spent time in IT operations, you know that IT life cycle planning can be complicated. Lack of visibility into vendor roadmaps can make it almost impossible to understand when new releases and features will be available.
Additionally, short software life cycles require more frequent updates, testing, and recertification. Compounding all of this, upgrading to new versions of foundational software like operating systems and container platforms can be a major project for your entire team.
Even so, there are still many good reasons to keep your infrastructure software updated. New operating system features can often take advantage of advanced hardware capabilities that already exist in your datacenter. Security patches fix potential vulnerabilities and help protect your sensitive applications and data. Performance enhancements can improve compute resource utilization and help control costs across your entire hybrid cloud environment.
