Abstract Talk page Recording

Yael Shenhav (NVIDIA), Chris Wright (Red Hat) — Talk, Monday, March 16

  • Why: DPU-based isolation — separating infrastructure services from user workloads to shrink attack surface — is squarely the PM's network-security interest, and Red Hat's CTO co-presenting signals real enterprise pull.
  • What: How Red Hat OpenShift, NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, and high-performance Ethernet fabrics combine into enterprise AI infrastructure, with DPU-based isolation enforcing policy boundaries between infrastructure and tenant workloads. (from abstract only)
  • How: BlueField offloads infrastructure services and policy enforcement away from host compute; OpenShift automates provisioning, updates, monitoring, and troubleshooting of BlueField-enabled nodes to make the pattern operable at enterprise scale.
  • Where applicable: Requires the OpenShift + BlueField + NVIDIA Ethernet stack; enterprise (not hyperscale) focus. Product-pitch elements are real, but the DPU-isolation pattern is broadly relevant to multi-tenant AI platforms.
