It seems like a new cloud-native technology or project is launched every week, and though there are technical changes required for building and operating cloud-native applications, technology alone isn’t a silver bullet. It turns out that how you build your applications is critical to enable seamless scaling and resiliency to failures. What do you have to do to ensure your applications can fully leverage the power and flexibility the cloud offers?

The 12-Factor principles have been around for a decade and have proven themselves as core, foundational principles for cloud-native applications. But they require changes to how you design your applications, the way teams collaborate on code, and more. Understanding the 12-Factor principles is a strong foundation for adopting cloud-native patterns and practices.

Join Pivotal's Nate Schutta, developer advocate, to learn:

● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to building scalable applications
● Which of the 12 Factors are most likely violated by your heritage applications
● What you can do to make your existing applications more 12-Factor compliant
● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to applications moving to the cloud
● How to externalize state and configuration in order to simplify scaling and code changes

We look forward to you joining us.

As your organization adopts containers and Kubernetes, the number of teams, clusters and environments you have to manage will explode. You'll need a way to better meet your development team’s needs while staying in control to keep your Kubernetes workloads secure, compliant, and at the same time contain cost. Join this session to learn about VMware Tanzu Mission Control, a single control point for both provisioning and managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across teams and environments. In this session, we'll show you how to use VMware Tanzu Mission Control to offer cluster as a service to your teams, and also to automate the enforcement of policies across fleets of clusters and namespaces for more efficient management. The session will include a demo to show you how VMware Tanzu Mission Control works in action.

The agility of microservices appeals to many, but where to start can be a journey in itself. Meanwhile, microservices are often conflated with Kubernetes, the container orchestration platform. This can lead folks down the wrong path by putting the proverbial technology cart before the architectural horse.

When it comes down to it, not everything should be a microservice and not everything should run in Kubernetes. How do you decide when, where, and how to take advantage of this powerful application pattern and technology paradigm combination? Join Joe Nedumgottil, Principal at Solstice, Jay Lyman, Principal Analyst at 451 Research, and Nathaniel Schutta, Developer Advocate at VMware to learn:

- How to determine if an application should be a microservice
- What challenges can you expect with adopting microservices
- What are the advantages of microservices
- From monitoring to logging to service meshes, what do you need to consider for Day Two operations when adopting Kubernetes for microservices
- Why you should look beyond code quality to measure success, including business metrics, with microservices on Kubernetes

At Travelers Insurance, a decade old rating engine was still on the mainframe, making it difficult to scale, expensive to run, and reliant on a shrinking pool of skilled engineers. Rating engines are fundamental to the insurance quoting process, and at the very heart of the business. It was time to modernize and take advantage of the scalability, stability, automation and fast iteration cycles made possible by cloud-native architecture.

In this webinar, Viraj Naik of Travelers Insurance and Rohit Kelapure of Pivotal will take us on their journey from mainframe to microservices. Viraj and Rohit will describe how they built a distributed, event-driven rating engine with .NET Core on Pivotal Platform using Steeltoe, running on Linux stem cells. The new rating engine exceeded SLAs and reduced time to production to under 60 minutes.

You’ll learn the keys to a successful mainframe rewrite-based modernization, including:

● A pragmatic, domain-driven approach and phased delivery, including implementing a strangler pattern and anti-corruption layers.
● How to port business objects and business rules from mainframe to .NET.
● New innovations developed and delivered during the migration process.

Speakers:
Viraj Naik, Lead Solutions Architect at Travelers Insurance
Rohit Kelapure, Principal Solution Architect at Pivotal

Kubernetes might be a dream for operations teams willing to learn its intricacies, but it can be a nightmare for developers whose primary goal is getting working applications into production.

Spring Cloud Kubernetes addresses developers’ needs by making it simple to deploy Spring Cloud and Spring Boot applications into Kubernetes environments.

This webinar will explore some key Spring Cloud Kubernetes concepts and demonstrate the process of porting an existing application onto a Kubernetes cluster.

Like all large companies, AirFrance-KLM has a powerful software portfolio running its daily business. A couple of years back, the company identified over 2,000 of these applications that would benefit from being modernized. Putting together a strategy to do this over the coming years is, understandably, a large undertaking.

AirFrance-KLM had to choose which applications to modernize, but to do this they first needed to build a model to select applications and then actually do the migration. They also needed to select the platform and development methods to get started.

Tune into this webinar to hear how the team at AirFrance-KLM achieved savings, speed, and resiliency, and the lessons they learned along the way.

Platform security features coupled with automated, out-of-the-box application security controls allow InfoSec teams to secure their cloud-native environments in just a few minutes.

In this webinar, security professionals from Pivotal and Aqua will show you how you can secure your PKS deployments.

You’re faced with the business imperative to deliver value to your customers faster, with less risk, and at enterprise scale. But where do you start? There are so many approaches and products for implementing continuous delivery (CD) of modern apps.

Join our webinar to learn about three trends that can make your delivery pipelines inherently resilient, accessible, and continuous:

● continuous delivery as a relay race
● turning monitoring into automated action
● developer experience at the heart

We’ll share a demo of a delivery pipeline that includes Concourse CI, Pivotal Build Service, and Spinnaker CD with Pivotal Container Service as the destination. You’ll learn how a loosely coupled pipeline can provide speed with guardrails, enabling you to scale delivery of your modern applications.

This webinar is especially relevant for those who:

● think full software delivery automation is a pipe dream.
● have an app delivery pipeline that’s a brittle monolith to maintain.
● suspect all your delivery problems are solved with Kubernetes.
