Red Hat SummitChapter 2. November 2025
2.1. Product-wide updates
Red Hat Insights is now Red Hat Lightspeed
Red Hat Insights is now Red Hat Lightspeed, reflecting the addition of AI-powered management to Red Hat platforms. With Red Hat Lightspeed, you can continue using the same workflows, console entry points, and integrations that you rely on. There is no action required for users.
The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and tools like Red Hat Satellite have updates including the new name, updated navigation and iconography, and user interface adjustments designed to surface AI-driven insights and recommendations more intuitively. The changes will continue gradually through the end of 2025 and into 2026. Our goal is to make the evolution seamless while continuously improving the performance, usability, and intelligence of the experience.

2.2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux updates
2.2.1. General
Red Hat Lightspeed advisor in Red Hat Satellite (GA)
The advisor service is now generally available for disconnected environments in Satellite 6.18. This service offers broad assessments of RHEL infrastructure health across availability, stability, performance, and security. Users can now view risk levels, affected systems, and remediation playbooks directly within the Satellite console.
Red Hat Lightspeed advisor in Satellite (Tech Preview)
The vulnerability service is now available as a technology preview for on-premise use. This service provides a security-focused view for identifying systems at risk. You can view detailed CVE information, such as severity and CVSS scores, to enable more effective risk triage compared to traditional errata views.
Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Entitlement Network Modernization
On January 14, 2026, Red Hat will update its CDN and entitlement networks. This affects customers who use RHEL 7.3 or earlier and customers who use specific IP allowlists. These network updates directly impact the insights-client. After the hostname is updated to the legacy endpoint, insights-client will stop reporting to Red Hat Lightspeed services on RHEL 6 and RHEL 7. To maintain Red Hat Lightspeed functionality on these legacy versions, you must register your systems to a Satellite server.
If you maintain systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or earlier, or if you configure your firewall to allowlist particular IP addresses to connect to Red Hat networks, you must make configuration changes before January 14th, 2026 to avoid losing access to content.
For more information, see Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) & Entitlement Network Modernization.
Red Hat Lightspeed API Cheat Sheet update
The Red Hat Lightspeed API cheat sheet has the following updates:
- A new section about troubleshooting common failures
- Improved instructions for service account creation and usage
- Status values and build times for image builder APIs
- Documentation on workspaces for inventory management
- Examples for retrieving supported RHEL versions and EOL dates
- Removal of the policies service section due to its upcoming decommission in December 2025
Updated certified Red Hat Lightspeed Splunk application
A new version of the certified Splunk application (v0.22.202511251015) is now available on Splunkbase. This release includes enhancements for eventHandles and links in the Vulnerability dashboard widget. The deprecated Drift functionality was also removed. This update includes mandatory Splunk Cloud recertification to maintain compliance and availability.
2.2.2. Inventory
UI fixes and improvements
The following updates and fixes have been made for Inventory:
- Workspace name validation now checks all pages to prevent duplicate names
- Modals that are opened from table components in the System Details page have a consistent design
- The workspace filter now uses lazy loading to improve performance when users load workspace options
- The delete modal bug on the Systems page is fixed
- Changes to Display Name and Ansible Hostname update without a page refresh
- The tag filter bug is fixed and filters systems correctly
2.2.3. Advisor
New recommendations released
The Red Hat Lightspeed advisor service now detects and recommends solutions for the following issues:
- The Rsyslog outputs old messages when imjournal cannot find the cursor of the last visited journal entry due to journal log rotation
- The system experiences decreased security due to an important security vulnerability in System Security Services Daemon
- The use of non-knet transport in Corosync is unsupported by Red Hat
- The EFI system cannot boot because it fails to mount /boot/efi during boot when specific filesystem types are disabled
- Kernel panic will occur on edge computing systems after reboot when loading the 3rd-party modules
- Performance degradation will occur on the edge computing system after reboot when running Oracle Database on systems with high CPU counts
- The udevadm-triggered watchdog causes the system to abruptly restart or panic
- Commands fail due to python3-libs library error
- Yum update fails when /sbin directory has incorrect ownership
- Kernel panic will occur after boot on the edge computing system when accessing the sysfs paths of a qede network device during its reset
2.2.4. Policies
Policies decommissioning is set for December 12, 2025
The Red Hat Lightspeed policies service will be decommissioned on December 12, 2025. Customers should use inventory APIs or Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to standardize system profiles and report use cases.
The Red Hat Lightspeed compliance service, which evaluates systems against OpenSCAP policies for security compliance, is not impacted.
2.2.5. Patch / Content
Advisory tables can now be filtered by severity
You can now sort and filter Advisory tables by severity.
2.2.6. Planning
Expanded lifecycle support and RHEL 10 readiness
The Planning team expanded the following capabilities to support long-term planning:
- Added RHEL 10 Application Streams to the Lifecycle tab to enable early preparation (RSPEED-1815).
- System lifecycle views now correctly identify and display SAP, EUS, and ELS statuses to provide a clearer view of your environment (RSPEED-1889).
- Roadmap recommendations now strictly match your installed RHEL version to prevent warnings for versions that customers do not use
- RHEL release dates are aligned to the standard May and November windows. The Planning team also fixed filtering in the AppStream All view (RSPEED-1871, RSPEED-1767)
Enhanced visualization and user experience
The Lifecycle tab was updated to PatternFly 6 standards to improve usability. Planning also resolved data crowding issues in the RHEL Lifecycle chart and replaced generic roadmap failure notifications with descriptive messages.
Insights MCP Server expanded with Planning capabilities
The Planning team published their first tool (get_upcoming_changes) to the Developer Preview of the Insights MCP Server. Future work is planned for get_rhel_lifecycle and get_appstreams_lifecycle to further enhance developer workflows.
