Cloud Data at epic scale with DataStax Enterprise and Pivotal Cloud Foundry

New opportunities will require us to develop in new ways at scale
38% accelerated adoption of a cloud-based platform that supports modern application development; 58% expanded Agile practices and CI/CD – MIT/VMware

Key pillars:
- App Transformation
- DevSecOps Transformation
- Cloud Infrastructure Transformation

Developer needs and demanding applications have brought diverse platforms, tools, teams and skills to every business. And with this increased TCO, complexity and risk. In this session we address what has driven the need for one modern platform for all apps, enabling IT to consolidate diverse platforms and reduce the complexity and cost of managing across multiple, diverse and often specialized platforms.

The cloud transformation has been happening for more than a decade, and today it’s running in overdrive. However, the goal posts for what’s cutting-edge continue to move and the list of environments that fall under the “cloud” umbrella continues to expand. Anyone transforming their infrastructure today is staring down a combination of VMs, public cloud(s), private cloud, containers, Kubernetes, edge, and everything in between.

This bounty of options can seem intimidating but, managed well, it’s actually an opportunity to turn infrastructure into a competitive advantage. Compliance, latency, cost, and other factors can all be addressed by selecting the right platform and architecture for the job. Standardizing on technologies like Kubernetes and the VMware Cloud product lineup means ops teams can manage a wide variety of applications much more efficiently because the infrastructure is doing some of the work for them.

In this webinar, James Watters and Kit Colbert will discuss a range of topics, including:
- The benefits of running a standard, modern platform across infrastructure locations.
- The technical and economic realities of operating public cloud, multi-cloud, and Kubernetes environments.
- The relationship between VMs, containers, and cloud instances, and how to best utilize them.
- How a cloud native transformation can help empower developers and create a meaningful connection between infrastructure and business objectives.

Kubernetes è il sistema de-facto per orchestrare in modo dinamico applicazioni basate su container. Dopo quasi 6 anni dall'inizio del progetto open source, ha raggiunto uno stato di maturità con un gran numero di funzionalità e componenti al suo interno.

In questo webinar, scoprirete come Tanzu Kubernetes Grid sia il miglior “vanilla Kubernetes”, completato da un set di estensioni a valore aggiunto e da diversi componenti Tanzu che arricchiranno i processi di integrazione continua e deployment delle vostre applicazioni moderne.

Una demo pratica vi mostrerà quanto sia facile scaricare, distribuire e gestire Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, compresi i punti di integrazione out-of-the-box con le risorse dell'infrastruttura sottostante, e anche i punti di connessione con i livelli di osservabilità, connettività e sicurezza intrinseca.

This free 1-hour webinar from GigaOm features analysts David Linthicum and Andy Thurai and special guests from VMware, Harmen Van der Linde, Office of the CTO, and Clement Pang, Principal Engineer. The discussion focuses on how Observability enables organizations to respond to the evolving application management needs.

Monitoring of systems, infrastructure, and applications is familiar territory, but traditional approaches have become inadequate for multiple reasons— not least cloud and microservices-based architectures and practices such as continuous deployment. In response, Observability offers an emerging set of practices, platforms, and tools, such that events and incidents can be acted upon quickly.
In this 1-hour webinar, we’ll provide the findings from GigaOm’s Observability Key Criteria and Radar Report, together with insider commentary from the report’s authors and industry experts.

Above all, you will discover how you can gain a deeper level of visibility and insight with Observability. If you are moving to forward-facing application architecture or already there and grappling with the consequences, this webinar is for you.

Many organisations look to cloud-native, container and Kubernetes architectures to help drive speed and innovation within their businesses. Realising the benefits however is not an easy feat, as many face significant challenges in implementing, deploying and scaling these technologies to deliver lasting business value.

In this session, we will unpack the four common disruptions DevOps teams face on the path to cloud-native adoption and discuss the VMWare Professional Service Offerings to accelerate their cloud journey.

Key Takeaways:
- A primer to start your cloud-native adoption
- How to extract the promised value of Kubernetes?
- How to scale your Kubernetes deployment?
- Introducing VMware Tanzu Services

Digital transformation is real. It’s happening. And most every organization either knows that they need to make it happen, or they’ve done it already. Join Michael Cote, author of eBooks, “Monolithic Transformation” and “The Business Bottleneck”, for a preview of his latest book, “Changing Mindsets: the missing ingredient to digital transformation”.

In this webinar, you’ll get a preview of how to:
- Think about software in terms of products versus projects; and why that matters
- Change habits from the top of your organization, down
- Motivate mindsets—not people—to change
- Have managers change the way they think about their daily tasks, goals, and their staff; etc.

Bring your questions and comments—let’s have some fun.

Register today! You'll get a preview of the book during the webinar as well as free copies of the first two books.

Observability is an evolving technology trend that is increasing in importance due to the need for better monitoring visibility and control automation for distributed applications and cloud infrastructures. In addition, IT agility is also driving organisational change, resulting in clear communication requirements and delineations of responsibilities between infrastructure and application teams.

In this session, Anil and Rishi will explain the concept of observability and why it is important for Spring developers. They will also run a live demonstration of VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront for Spring Boot, a freemium service for Spring Boot users.

Spring is the #1 framework for Java and millions of developers love using it. The challenge many face is having to create, configure, and maintain Spring Cloud infrastructure.

That is why VMware and Microsoft teamed up to create Azure Spring Cloud – a fully managed service for Spring Boot and .NET Core apps operated by Microsoft. Azure Spring Cloud makes it easy to get your apps to production by almost eliminating time spent managing infrastructure.

Join Josh Long and Julien Dubois as they provide an overview of Azure Spring Cloud and demo some of the topics that will be covered in the hands-on workshop on April 15, 2021 at 11AM Pacific.

You’ll see firsthand how easy it is to:
- Deploy an application using a JAR file or code.
- Automatically wire your app with Spring Cloud infrastructure, including service discovery, configuration management, and distributed tracing.
- Scale up and down based on load or schedule using Autoscale.
- Monitor your apps with logs, metrics, and tracing using Application Insights.
- And more! And it can all be done in just a few minutes.

Then join us on April 21, 2021 at 11AM Pacific for a hands-on workshop where you can test it out for yourself while being guided by VMware and Microsoft experts.

With the adoption of API-enabled microservices increasing at a rapid rate, centrally-managed enterprise services are having a hard time keeping up. More and more, development teams are performing quick API releases, straining central API management approaches, and leading to days and weeks of delay.

That’s why enterprises must harness the agility that distributed source control and API management can provide.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
- Utilizing GitOps for releases through continuously integrated and delivered software processes.
- How to align APIs with our GitOps delivery model and route definitions with their associated source code.
- How Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes applies this GitOps for APIs model to enable agility across your development teams.
