The validation covers version 2.3.12 of the Lightbits Labs Cinder driver, tested specifically on release 18.0.22 of the cloud platform. The driver utilizes standard deployment mechanisms alongside an NVMe/TCP discovery client and integrates with CSI installations to manage volume mounts directly to pods. Customers gain unified technical support, ensuring Red Hat collaborates directly with the storage partner rather than redirecting support requests. Red Hat notes that while upstream operational integration is guaranteed, independent performance and scalability evaluations are not included.

Lightbits is now a certified Cinder driver for Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift, tested on release 18.0.22. The certified component is the Lightbits Labs Cinder Driver for OpenStack Services on OpenShift, version 2.3.12. In May, we explained why NVMe/TCP disaggregated storage fits Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift and how Lightbits plugs into both the control plane and the data plane. This post covers what has changed since.
Who is running Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift today?
Telecommunications providers were some of the first large wave of adopters with NFV use cases such as 4G or 5G, and they remain a big part of the base. What has changed is the spread. We now see growing adoption across enterprise and public-sector customers.
Sovereignty is a big part of this shift. Organizations and governments that need control over where their data lives, who control the source code and who operate their infrastructure are building their own clouds; OpenStack allows this with great control, with multi-tenancy and at scale.
These environments differ in scale and workload, but they share one…
Network routing configurations often use customizable hexadecimal characters to create recognizable addresses for administrative services. Tailscale utilized this feature within its designated DNS infrastructure to encode its company name directly into the sequence. The deliberate formatting offers an easily identifiable destination for users configuring their local network parameters.
The open-source creation suite has introduced sweeping workflow and performance upgrades targeting rendering pipelines and 2D animation. Artists working with complex scenes can leverage enhanced denoising algorithms alongside integrated file management to streamline large-scale productions. These improvements substantially broaden the software's capabilities for both real-time interactive previews and stylized post-processing.
Regulators in Beijing have granted limited flight approvals as part of a national strategy to foster autonomous aerial transit and expand the domestic low-altitude economy. The aircraft is transported in a dedicated six-wheel van before taking off, initially targeting emergency response teams alongside rural tourism operators. Global expansion is already underway through international agreements across the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
