While the name is new, the mission is the same: Provide you with powerful, AI-powered insights that help you work faster, smarter, and with an enhanced security profile. If you're already using Red Hat Insights, all the features you rely on—like the advisor, vulnerability, and compliance services—are staying exactly the same. They're just getting a new name that better captures the speed and power they bring to your work. In addition to this update, we released new integration options in image builder that make it easier to incorporate image creation and maintenance into your existing automation, security, and management workflows. This speeds your provisioning process while confirming systems are hardened from the start. Plus, the new model context protocol (MCP) server for Red Hat Lightspeed allows you to connect AI models to programs and knowledge sources to perform management actions, simplifying your daily operations. Creating and maintaining golden images of an operating system (OS) is a fundamental part of being a system administrator. A golden image is the best way to drive rapid, more consistent deployments that meet your organization’s standard operating environment (SOE) requirements across the hybrid cloud. But the process of moving an image from the build process to a fully managed, compliant system can be a time-consuming, manual, and repetitive process across fragmented tooling. Now, you can build images that fit into your world, not the other way around. New enhancements to image builder seamlessly integrate with the management tools you already rely on: The compliance service, Red Hat Satellite and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.
