Did you read the article?

Let me quote the article: “I called him and… said ‘listen, I want to give you a shot and I'm willing to work with you’. So we worked with him for 13 months to build our real-time kernel to meet complex workloads with one condition: It has to be open source and it has to derive its characteristics from a large community,”

Rakuten worked with the founder of Rocky Linux for 13 months to develop real-time kernel. I don't know what kind of deal Rakuten promised to Rocky Linux (founder) and its community, but Rakuten contribute by open-sourced the work to community. That's enough for me. That's the spirit of open source.

Is rocky Linux kernel-rt is rhel kernel-rt ? If so i wonder how much work went into the kernel-rt.

It reads to me as though they outsourced their performance tuning. There are tons of tweaks you make to it for specific environments. I’m not sure what they would have done that any experienced engineer could not have done.
