Red Hat Summit 2026 was packed with AI announcements, but the real story is bigger than the hype. In this SmartTechCheck EduSeries episode, Mark Vena, CEO and Principal Analyst at SmartTech Research, breaks down Red Hat’s push to become the operating foundation for enterprise AI. The discussion covers Red Hat AI 3.4, OpenShift, RHEL, inference, AgentOps, Model-as-a-Service, hybrid cloud, NVIDIA collaboration, MCP, virtualization, and why Red Hat’s “high-tech plumbing” story matters in an AI-driven cloud world.
