Join this channel to learn best practices and insights on how to: containerize existing apps for increased cost efficiency, deliver new cloud-native and process-driven apps using microservice architectures, take an agile approach to integrate APIs and data, and do it all in a culture of collaboration using DevOps best practices.

Managing sensitive resources is a fact of life for any developer﹘whether it be credentials for users, access to data sources, or application programming interface (API) keys and tokens. When using Kubernetes as a development and deployment platform, being able to handle these concerns are just as important as the applications themselves. However, the native primitives provided by Kubernetes do not offer the level of protection that many would require from a security perspective. In this session, learn about the various tools and approaches that are available to properly manage sensitive assets when working in a Kubernetes environment, including each of the tradeoffs that need to be considered with each approach. While there is no single solution that can apply to every situation, the strategies discussed can be used to not only raise awareness to the concerns that need to be examined, but to aid in the design of a more robust security posture for working with Kubernetes.

Red Hat’s developer corner managing secrets in Kubernetes

Realizing when mechanical devices (e.g. pump data, manufacturing devices) are having mechanical issues and are showing signs of failure (via sensors) are important items to know when you need to keep them running 24/7. Therefore, creating failure prediction algorithms and/or model(s) are essential parts of your mechanical equipment maintenance toolbox, but how do you get started?
 
Failure prediction in real time on time series data (gathered by sensors) can be realized with the use of Open Source tools. In this session we will take you through creating data science applications on the edge and how we secure data, models and edge devices.

Dancing with Data Science and Security on the Edge

Companies everywhere are implementing DevOps practices to bring fast innovation of software to market. Frequent pushes of small, microservice updates are in high demand. Federal agencies want in on the action too, and they bring their own sets of challenges.
 
When working within air-gapped environments, security is of the utmost importance, so how do you make it work? Open source solutions don’t always seem like the first choice to turn to. Many of them demand constant Internet access for updates. With the right strategy in place, open source solution can often not only be an option, but the best option. In this session, Jay Hancock, DevOps Manager at Parsons Corporation, will discuss how he and his team have addressed some of the challenging requirements of the defense and intelligence community. He will provide a detailed viewpoint into using open source technologies like kubernetes, containers, and more.

Delivering Innovation in Classified Environments

Quantum computers today are expensive, rare, highly specialized resources, but hold tremendous promise for the future. Realizing this promise will require deep consideration of how to enable useful access to these resources, how to enable all developers (not just quantum specialists) to use them, and bridging classical and quantum applications for developers and operators alike. We’ll discuss the constraints QCs have and how building a hybrid, DevOps approach can unlock quantum computing in the future.

Operationalizing Quantum Computing with DevOps

As opportunities for data science and machine learning flourish across the enterprise, there’s a growing friction between desires to build new systems and responsibilities to extract more value from legacy systems. With a survey of experiences across industries over the last decade – including Federal Government, Oil & Gas, Financial Services, and Precision Healthcare – we’ll explore what it takes to succeed with a modular open systems approach and how it can ease the friction.

Data Science and Machine Learning: What does it take to succeed?

Software engineering has changed dramatically over the years with better collaborative development practices, migration from monoliths to microservices and more. But what about machine learning? How has machine learning based development evolved over the years? In this session, we'll discuss early ML setup and practices and how it's evolved into today's collaborative data science and streamlined ML deployment and MLOps best practices.

Building Modern Machine Learning Pipelines

In this session, we will discuss real, tangible use cases for leveraging artificial intelligence and applied machine learning models to solve problems that affect everyone. We will walk through what it takes to build software that serves more people by creating inclusive teams that are empathetic and courageous.

Building and managing containerized apps in the cloud

In the beginning of the pandemic, digital acceleration was viewed largely as a way to enable remote work and ensure business continuity. More than two years later, research indicates that organizations now see digital acceleration as a more permanent fixture in the business landscape. 

In a survey from Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, 91% of IT executives said they plan to maintain the faster speed of digital transformation—or possibly increase it—even after the pandemic ends. Now, IT leaders have a powerful role to play in rethinking the nature of work, enabling hybrid teams to thrive, and setting a new precedent for digital innovation across their organizations. 

During this session, we’ll dive into four focus areas for CIOs and IT leaders as they work toward enabling greater flexibility, resilience, and momentum for digital transformation. From reimagining work, to building digital acumen across the enterprise, to creating more agile operating models, discover what leading CIOs say they’re prioritizing.

Four strategies to accelerate digital transformation without burning out talent

Digital transformation has accelerated at a pace that was unthinkable pre-pandemic. In response, companies sped up the creation and delivery of digital products and services, evolving to entirely new operating models. Those transformation speed gains have created some big questions for businesses: For starters, how much of that accelerated pace is sustainable over the long term?

Now, IT leaders have a powerful role to play in rethinking the nature of work, enabling hybrid teams to thrive, and setting a new precedent for digital innovation across their organizations. During this session, we’ll discuss key focus areas for CIOs and IT leaders as they work toward enabling greater flexibility, resilience, and momentum to drive better business outcomes.

Maintaining Momentum: Strategies to Accelerate Digital Transformation

Join us as we sit down with Michael Tiemann, Red Hat’s former Vice President of Open Source Affairs, who is a true open source software pioneer. Every week, for more than 10 years, Michael Tiemann was one of the first people to welcome new associates to Red Hat. As the founder of the world's first open source software company, Cygnus Solutions, Tiemann provided these new hires with a grounding in open source history, but also open source currency as it related to Red Hat's strategy and opportunities for individual success at Red Hat. 

Michael will discuss why and how enterprise leaders are choosing the open source development model and technologies built with this model to transform their enterprise and differentiate their business.  He’ll share the history of open source,  dispel its myths and share its many benefits, give examples of how it is being used today, and explain why it is gaining in popularity. You’ll learn how to harness its power for success in a world where fear, uncertainty, and doubt continue to prevent people and companies from reaching their true potential.

Scale AI applications across cloud platforms

In this session, we will talk about the evolution from Dashboards to Business Intelligence, and Operational Intelligence; and how everything is evolving into a new framework where we use AI/ML that also requires a higher degree of monitoring. We will explore the amount of monitoring required by MLOps, and how Openshift can agnostically host the monitoring applications required to keep an eye on how the operation is doing. This session will conclude with an example of Grafana application hosted in an Openshift environment.

From Business Objectives to Monitoring Dashboards for MLOps using OC

Nearly every organization has limitations when it comes to adding additional budget and staff. There seem to be a few people who have so much knowledge that we find them tied up in nearly every project and incident. In The Phoenix Project, these concepts are embedded in the character Brent. Brent is the person that knows how to do everything, is responsive to everyone, and generally the most helpful individual in the room. As a result, Brent becomes a bottleneck for all work endeavors.

How do we begin to more effectively scale these resources and free up our fellow team members? Kevin Behr, co-author of the best selling book, The Phoenix Project, will discuss key elements of the Theory of Constraints and basic steps of constraint management. Learn how to free up those "impossible to get" minds by recognizing the sounds and using key intervention questions to bring clarity and get things moving.
