How to get started with Apache MADlib on Hortonworks HDB

Containers have been widely adopted to make development and testing faster, and are now used at enterprise scale for stateless applications in production. Database infrastructure has not seen quite the same gains in terms of velocity over that same period, however.

Can containers be as transformative for databases as they have been for application development? If container technology can be leveraged for running database workloads, what impact does this have on architects and operations teams that are responsible for running databases?

We’ll discuss the trends—from virtualization to cloud to containerization—and the intersection of these platform trends with the data-driven world.

Measuring and showing progress is critical to drive technology adoption and ensure the success of your modernization effort. A wise customer once said, “If you thought getting people to believe digital transformation is possible was tough, wait until you try and convince people that you actually accomplished successful transformation.”

Most people can relate! What is the language that describes digital transformation success? What are the success metrics of digital transformation that enterprises care deeply about? How does one know they are headed in the right direction?

In this webinar, Pivotal and New Relic will cover how your teams can do the following:

- Use lean principles and practices as applied to enterprise software delivery to measure transformation impact
- Easily create dashboards to monitor business and strategic value delivered at every phase of your digital transformation journey
- Ensure your entire stack—including infrastructure, cloud platform, applications, containers, and services—is tracking toward goals

Almost every major company uses or builds software containing open-source components today—96% of them, according to a report from Black Duck by Synopsis. The same report revealed that 78% of the apps that were audited had at least one vulnerability, including several that were reported nearly six years ago! Needless to say, not having solid open-source use policies and procedures in place for your developers poses a significant risk to any enterprise.

Black Duck and Pivotal collaborated to deliver a secure and simple user experience for rapidly building and deploying applications so that developers can benefit from the many advantages of using open source in their apps with confidence.
Join Dave Meurer from Black Duck and Kamala Dasika from Pivotal as they discuss:

Join Vince Russo and Peter Blum from Pivotal as they show attendees a real-world example of straddling workloads across Pivotal Application Service (PAS) and Pivotal Container Service (PKS).

In this practitioner-focused webinar, we'll tour through Spring and .NET versions of an app to receive the output generated by the Watson Voice Gateway (WVG). Then we'll walk through the PKS-managed Kubernetes cluster using IBM-provided pods for deploying the Watson Voice Gateway (WVG). The cluster will be deployed using the PKS CLI, then the pods will be created with the WVG configuration file.

The Spring and .NET applications will be deployed on PAS. A third-party VoIP application will be used to call into the Voice Gateway to issue commands, which will be outputted to the Spring and .NET Application for "processing." Hear directly from our field and R&D experts!

Building a new application with the latest and greatest methodologies and frameworks? Sounds like fun! Modernizing the legacy .NET applications that have been driving your business for years? Sounds…painful.

Fortunately, a number of new technologies have emerged for the .NET ecosystem to support cloud-native .NET applications, and the processes for analyzing and modernizing them have matured.

In this webinar, join Magenic's Robert Sirchia and Pivotal's Chris Umbel to learn about modernizing .NET applications from a legacy Windows environment. The session will cover topics like:

- How can I determine which .NET applications from my portfolio to modernize?
- How do I decompose a monolithic .NET application into logical business domains?
- Which technologies, like Steeltoe, are available to adopt modern microservices architectures for .NET applications?
- How do I analyze the cloud-suitability of a portfolio of applications and prioritize it for modernization?

Applications need data, but the legacy approach of n-tiered application architecture doesn’t solve for today’s challenges. Developers aren’t empowered to build and iterate their code quickly without lengthy review processes from other teams. New data sources cannot be quickly adopted into application development cycles, and developers are not able to control their own requirements when it comes to data platforms.

Part of the challenge here is the existing relationship between two groups: developers and DBAs. Developers are trying to go faster, automating build/test/release cycles with CI/CD, and thrive on the autonomy provided by microservices architectures. DBAs are stewards of data protection, governance, and security. Both of these groups are critically important to running data platforms, but many organizations deal with high friction between these teams. As a result, applications get to market more slowly, and it takes longer for customers to see value.

What if we changed the orientation between developers and DBAs? What if developers consumed data products from data teams? In this session, Pivotal’s Dormain Drewitz and Solstice’s Mike Koleno will speak about:

- Product mindset and how balanced teams can reduce internal friction
- Creating data as a product to align with cloud-native application architectures, like microservices and serverless
- Getting started bringing lean principles into your data organization
- Balancing data usability with data protection, governance, and security

When moving workloads to the cloud, enterprise architects often ask things like, “Are we losing the ability to choose our stack and change vendors? How easily can I move my workloads in and out of the cloud? To keep workloads portable, do I lose out on innovation?”

There are a lot of misconceptions about cloud portability. The term itself implies moving workloads with no work (not true), suggests completeness in what’s moved (mileage may vary), and ignores the laws of data gravity (at your peril!). Platforms, like Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF), can make it much simpler to move workloads between clouds. But PCF fits within a broader set of concerns and decisions that need to be made.

In this webinar, Pivotal’s Joshua McKenty and Microsoft’s Ulrich Homann will debunk some common misconceptions about cloud portability, while explaining things like:

- The framework of developer efficiency (versus operational efficiency) tradeoffs across levels of abstraction

- The spectrum of standards that exist to support movability, and the tradeoffs therein

- Emerging abstractions at the data layer that simplify data access and digital twin development… and the realities of the cloud movability they support
