Red Hat Rewrites the Business Automation Playbook with End-to-End Kubernetes-Native Decision Management CapabilitiesRed Hat (News - Alert), Inc., the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced new end-to-end Kubernetes-native decision management capabilities as part of the latest release of Red Hat Process Automation. Based on the open source Kogito project, the new capabilities enable individual business decisions to be created and deployed as containerized microservices that are managed by Kubernetes alongside other containers in the application environment, reducing redundancy and the footprint of traditional decision management systems when deploying in cloud-native environments like Red Hat OpenShift. According to industry analyst firm IDC (News - Alert), "By 2024, 75% of enterprises will prioritize infrastructure agility and operational efficiency, leading to a 5x increase in the adoption of cloud-native architectures for business applications."1 As the industry accelerates toward cloud-centric infrastructure and applications, automation technologies like decision management play an important role in enabling businesses to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. Decision management runtimes The new decision management runtimes build on existing capabilities that incorporate decision modeling tools into development environments like Visual Studio Code (VSCode), allowing developers to use business rules and modeling languages like decision model and notation (DMN) as part of a development project. Decision microservices on Quarkus Developers also have access to additional features that enable them to set business rules and more effectively create decision microservices on Quarkus, including:

Red Hat Process Automation now includes OptaPlanner 8, a lightweight, embeddable planning engine that enables Java programmers to solve optimization problems efficiently.

Capabilities introduced via the latest release of Red Hat Process Automation are in addition to features included in previous releases.
