ASX adopts new technology and adapts faster

The advantages of using an Agile Integration framework don't stop at the fundamental building blocks (API Management, Distributed Integration, PaaS). This kind of framework is not isolated from the rest of the architecture.

In this session we will show how we can integrate also end users authentication and authorization, integrate various data sources and manage processes around getting access to the exposed services.

In today’s changing financial services industry landscape, there are new and challenging reasons why providers and banks should be aware of the competition and put their best foot forward. These include new regulations and increased customer demands, especially when it comes to digital banking. In order to have a leg up over the competition, financial service institutions should approach these challenges as opportunities head on with strategic focus, open source, and agile integration. In this talk we address how the principles of Agile Integration can be applied to build a programmable bank and leverage the banking platform business model.

Lufthansa Technik is the largest independent provider of technical services and offers AVIATAR: a neutral platform for digital products. AVIATAR has been created with a vision of control and choice for the customers. Consequently the AVIATAR Team decided to build the platform based on a hybrid cloud ready infrastructure and open source software. In order to support neutrality and openness for all applications airlines want to use, APIs and Integration Technology are key to success. In this talk, you will learn about the overall architecture of AVIATAR and architectural questions and decisions made by the AVIATAR team.

Visibility, control, security, and maintaining governance and compliance are all critical for managing your infrastructure. However, these are becoming more difficult and time consuming as your infrastructure evolves to a mix of bare metal, virtual, cloud, and container environments. How can you maintain security, governance, compliance, and reduce risk amid this growing complexity? Red Hat’s automated security and compliance solution gives you the tools -- Red Hat Ansible Automation, Red Hat Satellite, Red Hat Insights, and OpenSCAP -- to help you with these challenges.

In this session, you’ll learn how these Red Hat technologies can help:
Implement a security and compliance automation workflow, such as provisioning security-compliant hosts and maintaining compliance against industry or custom security profiles by automating audit scans and doing controlled remediations of detected issues.
Identify and remediate security threats proactively with predictive analytics.
Implement both infrastructure and security as code.
Automate patch and configuration management for consistency across your environments.
Deliver continuous security and monitoring that is centrally managed for your hybrid infrastructure.

Top security vendors refine their security solutions incessantly. A wave of new security startups emerges every year. Venture capital firms and end-user organizations invest more money than ever on potential game-changing security players. Nonetheless, the CISOs capability to defend IT infrastructures keeps deteriorating. Why? The lack of integration is a key reason for the inefficiency of existing security solutions, and an opportunity to do rethink how IT security works. In this presentation, you will learn what problems Red Hat is trying to solve with Ansible Security Automation. You will also see an example of how the solution integrates with multiple enterprise security products to address three typical use cases in IT Security: risk assessment, threat analysis, and incident response.

Explain/demonstrates using Kubernetes with different security features for your container environment

General Concept

Run containers without root, period
Take advantage of all security features the host provides
Configuring CRI-O:

Run containers with read-only images
Limit the Linux capabilities running within your container
Set up container storage to modify the storage options in a more secure manner
Configure alternative OCI Runtimes: Kata, Gvisord and Nabla to run locked down containers
Building images with security in mind.

Limit packages/attack surface of container images
Build container images within a locked down kubernetes container
Advances in User Namespaces

Demonstrate running each container with a different User Namespace
Configure system to take advantage of user namespace container separation, without taking a drastic speed hit

The new network is one built on the principals of software defined infrastructure. Istio provides users new capabilities to secure, orchestrate, and monitor application traffic, in many cases transparent to users.

As you deploy applications and microservices to a Kubernetes based containerized platform, several questions come to mind:
- How do we deal with micro-segmentation?
- How do we deal with deploying containerized applications in different network zones?
- How do we deal with security at ingress?
- How do we deal with security at egress?
and more
We will address these common concerns and explain how to address them. In addition, where relevant we will also discuss features provided by open source enterprise-ready Kubernetes platform such as OpenShift and how such platforms address these network security aspects for applications. This session assumes that the attendees have a basic working knowledge of Kubernetes.

When it comes to adopting containers in the enterprise, Security is the highest adoption barrier. Is your organization ready to address the security risks with containers for your DevOps environment? In this presentation, you'll learn about the best practices for:

- Addressing the top container security risks in a container environment including images, builds, registry, deployment, hosts, network, storage, APIs, monitoring & logging, and federation.
- Integrating continuous security for containers in the CI/CD pipeline
- Deployment strategies for deploying container security updates including recreating, rolling, blue/green, canary and a/b testing.

No industry is safe from being disrupted by fast moving new entrants and new opportunities are continuously arising to be taken advantage of by the fastest mover. Businesses need to adapt quickly to being able to react to changing conditions and IT has often been a stumbling block. In this talk we discuss how Agile Integration can turn IT into a powerful asset: not just enable the transformation of technology, but also to align people and processes for success. We’ll cover numerous real world examples and a repeatable blueprint for success.

Run Apache Kafka on Kubernetes with Red Hat AMQ streams
With the introduction of the Red Hat® AMQ streams component, you can now use the massive scalability of Apache Kafka on the most advanced container management technology, Kubernetes, using Red Hat OpenShift®.

The Red Hat AMQ streams component, the newest member of the AMQ messaging platform suite, is a massively scalable, distributed, and high-performance data streaming capability based on the Apache Kafka and Strimzi open source projects. The AMQ streams component provides an event-streaming backbone that allows microservices and other application components to reliably exchange data with extremely high throughput. AMQ streams has a particular focus on using Kafka on Red Hat OpenShift, the open source container application platform based on the Kubernetes container orchestrator.

Join this webinar to learn:

-Why Kafka is so frequently used in microservices, Internet of Things (IoT), and event processing.
-Why Apache Kafka on Red Hat OpenShift is a great match.
-How Red Hat OpenShift delivers clustering, high availability, and observability to Kafka.
-How the AMQ streams component serves as an automated Kafka administrator, automating the deployment, management, upgrades, and configuration of a Kafka ecosystem installation.

Agile integration strategy — combining integration technologies, agile delivery techniques, and cloud-native platforms to improve speed and security of software delivery — is a critical foundation for successful digital transformation.

The pace of innovation and disruption continues to accelerate, driving faster change to business models, processes, and applications. Firms that also quickly reconfigure and reconnect old and new applications have the advantage, and those with slow integration processes are at serious risk of losing customers.

In this session, Red Hat’s guest speaker, Randy Heffner of Forrester, will describe the blurring lines between integration and application development, outline the foundations for agile integration, and provide guidance for how to build and accelerate your ability to drive business change by improving your software integration and delivery capabilities.

In this session, we will primarily focus on OpenWhisk, an open source FaaS (Function-as-a-Service) engine, layered on top of Kubernetes and integrating numerous cloud hosted and "on-premise" services. Serverless is a misnomer, your future cloud native applications will consist of both microservces and functions, often wrapped as Linux containers, but in many cases where you the developer ignore the operational aspects of managing that infrastructure.

Testing microservices are significantly more nuanced and complex than testing a traditional monolithic application but it is one of the key ingredients for successful continuous delivery. An effective test strategy needs to account for both testing individual services in isolation and the verification of overall system behaviour. This talk will cover the strategies and techniques including TDD for building unit/component/integration/contract tests using live examples with different frameworks like Junit5, Arquillian, Hoverfly, and Spock

Your team builds applications. You’ve done it for years, and have a good thing going. Not only that, you're on top of your game with modern development patterns. You write microservices and utilize message queues
But applications aren’t just the backend. There is almost always a front end between the user and the server side bits. In the brave new world of Kubernetes and containerized deployments, how does the front end best fit into the mix? Maybe you’re used to just copying your files up to the web server and forgetting about it. But that’s not going to fly anymore. In this talk I will show you tips, tricks and best practices for building and deploying your front end applications on Red Hat’s OpenShift Kubernetes platform.

"One size does not fit all." And this is still especially true for your distributed data! Different types of data require different approaches of how you distribute & manipulate your data.

Update frequency? Staleness? Push or pull? Legacy or new? Cache or direct read? Event Sourcing? Business or low-level events? Check this session to see how different technologies such as Data Virtualization, Change Data Capture, In-memory Data Grids, Reactive Programming and much more can be applied to solve a plethora of different data scenarios with different requirements.

Event-centric design and event-driven architecture are powerful tools for designing scalable, distributed systems that are capable of taking advantage of the agility and organizational efficiencies promised by microservices. To build such an architecture you need a reliable and scalable messaging system (Kafka), a powerful programming model (Camel), and a platform where they can run reliably and resiliently (Kubernetes.) In this presentation you will see how these three technologies complement each other and deliver a cohesive solution.
