Red Hat today revealed it has made a series of updates to its OpenShift application development and deployment platform, including adding support for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to make data accessible to artificial intelligence (AI) tools and applications, as well as a runtime image volume source for AI applications.
Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift 4.20 adds support for distributed AI workloads via a LeaderWorkerSet application programming interface (API) that is now available and a technical preview of a JobSet controller.
Mitch Ashley, vice president and practice lead for software lifecycle engineering at Futurum Group, said Red Hat is making it easier to operationalize AI across hybrid environments. The improvements in OpenShift 4.20 create a smoother glide-path for organizations moving from early to full-scale AI application deployments, he added.
