Operationalizing "Bring Your Own Agent" on Red Hat AI, the OpenClaw edition What Red Hat AI provides Repurposing cloud-native to agent-native Making agents safer and ready for production Observability, tracing, and evaluation Governing tool calls at scale Choosing API surfaces for production agents Agent lifecycle with Kagenti This series The adaptable enterprise: Why AI readiness is disruption readiness About the author Adel Zaalouk More like this The efficient enterprise: Scaling intelligence with Mixture of Experts Red Hat and NVIDIA collaborate for a more secure foundation for the agent-ready workforce Technically Speaking | Build a production-ready AI toolbox Technically Speaking | Platform engineering for AI agents Keep exploring Browse by channel Automation Artificial intelligence Open hybrid cloud Security Edge computing Infrastructure Applications Virtualization Share The AI agent world is messy. Teams are reaching for LangChain , LlamaIndex , CrewAI , AutoGen , or building custom solutions from scratch. Good. That's how it should be during the creative phase. But once an agent leaves a developer's laptop and starts talking to production data, calling external application programming interfaces (APIs), or running on shared infrastructure, freedom without guardrails stops being a feature and starts being a liability. We've watched the industry go through waves: Model APIs (such as chat completions), agentic APIs (such as assistants and later the OpenAI responses API), the age of frameworks, and now the age of harnesses and coding agents. The top layer keeps changing. It's becoming fungible. What doesn't change is the gap between "it works on my laptop" and "it runs in production, securely, at scale, with audit trails. " Our AgentOps strategy is built on a core principle: Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA). The platform is framework-agnostic. What matters is that the agent has identity, runs under least-privilege, gets observed, passes safety checks, and can be audited after the fact.
