New offering combines platform engineering tools with enhanced security capabilities to help accelerate and simplify application development with enhancements to speed the adoption of Red Hat AI technologies
Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, announced Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite, a powerful new addition to Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, designed to improve developer productivity and application security with enhancements to speed the adoption of Red Hat AI technologies.
It is no surprise that developer productivity and AI integration are top software engineering priorities, with a recent Gartner® survey finding that “Integration AI (48%) and increasing developer productivity (48%) are among the top three strategic goals for many software engineering departments in 2024.”1 Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite directly addresses these critical needs. By enabling a robust platform engineering approach, Red Hat empowers developers to build, deliver and release software to production with greater ease while adhering to stringent security, governance and compliance standards.

Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite provides the tools for platform engineering and developer teams to collaborate on building “golden paths” — software templates that provide infrastructure, application services, toolchains and best practice policies transparently, allowing developers to deliver more applications faster and with advanced security features. With this release, we expand those to cover software templates from Red Hat AI.
Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite combines:
- Red Hat Developer Hub: An enterprise-grade internal developer portal built on Backstage, the leading open source framework for building developer portals and an incubating project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Red Hat Developer Hub now features an enhanced AI-centric user experience, offering pre-configured software templates for prevalent AI scenarios ready for rapid deployment on Red Hat OpenShift AI.
- Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer: Provides comprehensive management of an organization’s software bill of materials (SBOMs), vulnerability exploitability exchanges (VEX) and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), delivering critical risk intelligence to developers and DevSecOps teams.
- Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer: Offers a production-ready deployment of the Sigstore project, simplifying cryptographic signing and verification for software artifacts like container images, binaries and documents. Crucially, Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer now extends its robust signing and verification capabilities to AI models packaged in OCI format, ensuring only trusted and signed models are deployed, bolstering security.
Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite also integrates seamlessly with a variety of supported tools and offerings including Red Hat OpenShift, enabling organizations to leverage existing investments and further customize the solution to best meet their needs. Through integration with Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps, as well as other leading CI/CD solutions, users can accelerate application delivery, automate testing for earlier bug detection and more. Users are also able to leverage integrations with Red Hat migration toolkit for applications, Podman Desktop and Red Hat IDE Plugins to improve developer velocity and make software development and migration faster and more seamless. Additionally, Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces provide developers with a cloud development environment (CDE) for instant developer and contractor onboarding and all the tooling, templates and security requirements built directly into their development environment.

Integrated software supply chain security best practices
Moving fast and adhering to stringent security measures may seem to be at odds with one another — but they don’t have to be. Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite helps organizations maximize efficiencies while integrating advanced software supply chain security capabilities to help organizations build security into their processes, practices and applications from the start.
By tightly integrating Red Hat Trusted Artifact Signer and Red Hat Trusted Profile Analyzer, organizations can proactively mitigate potential security vulnerabilities early and continuously throughout the software development lifecycle. These tools deliver a comprehensive audit trail of all software development activities across environments, providing visibility and actionable intelligence into the risk posture of the entire software supply chain.
With Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite, organizations gain a holistic solution to help developers move faster while adhering to stringent security and compliance demands. Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite integrates into organizations’ existing workflows and helps cut through the complexities associated with developing intelligent applications, enhancing the developer experience and enabling organizations to more quickly deliver innovation to end-users.
Driving AI innovation with greater speed and enhanced security
Developers who want to create and maintain an application that integrates with large language models (LLMs) face a variety of challenges, including how to assimilate AI into their existing applications and software development practices. As AI becomes a strategic imperative in the business world, the ability to move faster to bring AI into applications will be key to remaining competitive. Red Hat AI, which includes Red Hat AI Inference Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) and Red Hat OpenShift AI, is a portfolio of foundational solutions aimed at helping to solve those problems. Increasing developer productivity with Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite in conjunction with Red Hat AI solutions accelerate the integration of AI into their daily development practices and delivered applications.
Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite provides integrations with Red Hat AI Inference Server, RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift AI that deliver security-focused AI-enabled applications as well as cloud-native applications, while simultaneously empowering platform engineers to govern, control and improve the security posture of AI-enabled applications running in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Red Hat Developer Hub includes AI-focused software templates that leverage Red Hat AI solutions that consist of pre-architected and supported approaches to building and deploying AI-enabled services or components — without having to learn all the details of the technology used to implement it. The templates enable organizations to get started developing applications for common AI use cases including: chatbot, audio to text, object detection, code generation and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). The templates, along with a newly designed AI landing page, available later this year, will make it easier for developers to get started and succeed with AI.
