  • Modules 7-9: Security Best Practices

    • Summary of RHADS security practices including keyless signing, attestations, SBOMs, and policy enforcement with TPA and TAS. Implementing robust security controls throughout your software supply chain using RHADS components.

  • Modules 10-12: Trusted Software Supply Chain (TSSC)

    • Revisiting RHADS TSSC implementation in OpenShift, integration with RHDH, and patterns for third-party tools. Mastering how to build secure, compliant pipelines with RHADS that integrate security scanning and connect seamlessly with existing CI/CD tools.

  • Modules 13-14: Artificial Intelligence

    • Overview of building AI agents with RHADS and enabling Data Scientists with a secure AI supply chain. Building and deploying AI applications responsibly using RHADS while maintaining security and governance throughout the AI/ML lifecycle.

Congratulations on completing the Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite workshop! You are now equipped with the knowledge to build a secure, efficient, and customized developer platform that accelerates application delivery while enforcing security and compliance.

We have demonstrated how RHADS empowers platform engineering teams to:

  • Increase Developer Productivity: By providing self-service tools and golden paths.

  • Strengthen Security Posture: By integrating a trusted software supply chain from the start.

  • Embrace AI Innovation: By creating a secure and scalable environment for AI/ML workloads.

What’s Next?

Now that you’ve mastered how Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite (RHADS) empowers organizations to "move fast and stay safe" by increasing developer productivity, strengthening software supply chain security, and enabling AI-powered development, it’s time to bring that knowledge to life. The Red Hat Demo Platform features a comprehensive RHADS demo environment (login required) that provides a turnkey solution to showcase RHADS’s unified internal developer platform, trusted software supply chain capabilities, and streamlined tools. Leverage this tool to confidently demonstrate how RHADS streamlines development workflows and reduces risk across the entire software development lifecycle.

For additional hands-on exploration and self-paced learning, Red Hat offers comprehensive interactive labs that complement your RHADS knowledge. These include step-by-step OpenShift interactive experiences where you can practice container orchestration, explore CI/CD pipelines with Tekton, and experiment with DevOps workflows. You can also try OpenShift through the developer sandbox for immediate hands-on experience. These browser-based labs let you dive deeper into containerization workflows and cloud-native development patterns that form the foundation of RHADS implementations, perfect for reinforcing yours and your customer’s understanding in a guided environment.

Now go forth and build amazing things with RHADS! 🚀
