Red Hat unveiled updates across its portfolio of developer tools designed to help organizations build and deliver applications faster and more consistently across Kubernetes-based hybrid and multicloud environments. Some of the new offerings include:
- The latest release of Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines introduces a technology preview of pipelines as code for Tekton, which gives customers the ability to define and manage their continuous integration (CI) pipelines through Git repositories and take advantage of GitOps workflows.
- New Tekton Chains enhances OpenShift Pipelines, now providing built-in image signing capabilities that help to enhance reliability in the application delivery supply chain. Developers can also take advantage of user namespaces in pipelines to isolate tools that require root privileges and run them as non-root inside their application build and delivery pipelines without compromising on security functionality.
- OpenShift GitOps lets customers declaratively manage their OpenShift clusters, applications, and compliance operations, using familiar Git workflows to automate, define, and version security practices in an easily auditable environment. The latest release includes Argo CD 2.3, bringing new sync and diff strategies, UI improvements, and performance enhancements.
- ApplicationSets, which was previously available as a technology preview, is now generally available, providing a fully supported and stable way to automate the management of multiple ArgoCD applications across multiple clusters.
- Red Hat also unveiled its next-generation in-browser and local development environments, Red Hat OpenShift DevSpaces 3 (formerly Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces) and Red Hat OpenShift Local 2 (formerly Red Hat CodeReady Containers).
Salesforce introduced Tableau Cloud, which allows customers to get the full value of Tableau at enterprise scale. The offering is the next generation of what was formerly known as Tableau Online and includes new innovations to boost productivity by delivering intelligent, powerful, and easy-to-use analytical tools to help uncover insights and make data-driven decisions. An integral part of the Salesforce Customer 360, Tableau empowers customers to surface and gain actionable insights from all their trusted data, creating a single source of truth, accessible anytime, anywhere.
Software AG announced ARIS for sustainability, a new package that supports the planning, implementation, and measurement of sustainability initiatives. The ARIS for sustainability accelerator package includes ready-made process models and ESG-relevant templates, reports, and dashboards. They can be directly used in ARIS and connected with all company data already stored there — from strategy definition to operating processes.
Intertrust launched two new feature enhancements to its multi-party data interoperability platform Intertrust Platform. The enhancements can help create trust and provide protection by bridging enterprise data operations and IoT devices with a single pane of glass functionality. Specifically, the platform now includes two features for IoT and Web3.0 (Web3) environments:
- Explicit Private Networking (XPN), which provides end-to-end security for data at rest as well as in transit from device to cloud and back.
- Token Rights Management (TRM), which provides support for distributed authentication and authorization systems. It supports traditional data and DRM applications, NFT applications, and standards-based Digital Twins for hardware device security.
Ahana announced a new tool for Presto users called the Presto Query Analyzer. With the Presto Query Analyzer, data platform teams can get instant insights into their Presto clusters, including query performance, bandwidth bottlenecks, and much more. The Presto Query Analyzer was built for the Presto community and is free to use.
The Envoy Gateway (EG) project launched. Under the auspices of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Envoy Gateway is a new effort within the Envoy proxy open-source project to simplify Envoy use in cloud-native application development. Specifically, Envoy Gateway will reduce existing, redundant efforts around Envoy and make it much easier for application developers to use Envoy as a basic API gateway “out of the box” and as a Kubernetes Ingress controller. Exposing a simplified set of APIs and implementing the Kubernetes Gateway API, EG makes it easier to extend Envoy.
