Red Hat uses predictive analytics in Red Hat Lightspeed (formerly Red Hat Insights), a platform included with all Red Hat subscriptions, to continuously analyze enterprise IT infrastructure — covering RHEL, OpenShift, and Ansible Automation Platform — and proactively flag security vulnerabilities, performance risks, and potential outages before they affect operations.

Red Hat Lightspeed (the rebranded Red Hat Insights) ingests telemetry data from customers' hybrid cloud systems and applies predictive analytics and pattern recognition to identify risks, recommend remediation steps, and suggest relevant software packages. The system generates Ansible Playbooks to automate remediation of identified issues. In 2025, Red Hat introduced AI-powered package recommendations and optimized planning tools within Lightspeed, helping IT teams understand RHEL roadmap alignment and proactively build system images. The service is delivered as software-as-a-service via the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and is included in nearly all Red Hat subscriptions.
