Discover how Red Hat’s open hybrid cloud delivers IT services on any infrastructure quickly and cost effectively with a broad portfolio of hybrid cloud infrastructure, application services, cloud-native application development, and automation solutions.

"Networks have already begun to adapt to meet the next generation of needs as digital transformation accelerates to include better connectivity across remote locations, programmability of campus and datacenter networks, and of course hybrid cloud modernizations.  As these transformations take place, networks become even more essential and increase in size and complexity.  Manual processes and operations will not be able to keep pace, and so companies are increasing their network automation efforts to respond faster to business needs, increase efficiency, reduce unexpected downtime, control costs and unburden valuable resources for more transformative work. 

But where do you start and what technologies can provide you the most flexibility? Join this session to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can help to automate full network processes instead of just one sliver of network operations."

Network automation 101: Getting started with network automation

"Applying AI to IT Operations(AIOps) is the thing of the hour. Most IT organizations generate a large amount of operations data in the process of operating their software and are beginning to embrace the adoption of AI to support IT operations. Yet, real-world operations data is rarely available as a public dataset. Moreover, most AIOps tools out there are closed source.

In this session, the speakers introduce AI4CI(AI for Continuous Integration), a set of open source AIOps tools involving open operations data from Kubernetes CI/CD platforms. They demonstrate a set of Jupyter Notebooks that are automated using Kubeflow Pipelines into reproducible workflows that collect data from open CI/CD data sources, calculate and visualize key performance indicator metrics, and build AI/ML services to support operations. They also introduce how to build and deploy ML services which can answer questions like “how can we optimize the running time of our tests and prevent bottlenecks in our CI/CD pipeline”, “how to an ML model to efficiently triage a new issue or a pull request”, and “how to preemptively detect patterns in failing tests or builds by looking at the logs”.

By making the tools and relevant data openly accessible, AI4CI aims to cultivate an open source community that fosters collaboration between data scientists and DevOps engineers. 
 
By the end of the talk, the audience will learn how to build AIOps monitoring tools and automated metric dashboards that can help provide more visibility into their tests to better support their CI/CD processes."

Using AIOps to Speed up CI/CD processes

CognitiveScale’s Cortex platform helps enable a robust AI Engineering discipline by seamlessly scaling AI applications across cloud platforms via RedHat’s OpenShift. The Cortex platform is embedded on OpenShift deployments providing trust and governance across all models and applications. Cortex brings multiple data models together, composes the AI solution, orchestrates execution, deploys it on any cloud, and optimizes the business impact. This allows for business and IT leaders to work together and leverage a platform that deploys repeatable patterns for AI solution success.

Scale AI applications across cloud platforms

Most companies have been working to modernize their applications.  And yet, when asked, "what do you view as the main driver of innovation at your company?" The response is nearly always that data is the primary driver of innovation. In this talk, we will look at what a data mesh is and how we can transition from a monolithic approach to data, to an approach which can become the data platform for our microservices as we modernize our application architectures.

The Data Mesh and why consider the architectural paradigm for your organization

It may come as no surprise that today’s enterprises are transitioning to running digital businesses. Spending may still be weighted toward transformation – but many firms are also focused on competitive and innovative technologies. Those innovative technologies and ideas are oriented around business goals – and companies are getting more creative in what that means. Join experts from Red Hat and IDC as they explore the new era of digital transformation, what challenges enterprises are encountering, and where the best potential for ROI exists.

The New Era of Digital Transformation

Sarah Thomas is a woman of many firsts – she was the first female official to ever work a major college football game, the first woman to officiate a bowl game, and the first to officiate in a Big Ten stadium. And as of February 7, 2021, she is the first female to officiate a Super Bowl. Now she’s sharing essential leadership lessons from her journey to the top of a male-dominated industry and vital insights on shattering the glass ceiling in the world of professional sports that can be applied to any field or industry. As an exemplar of what’s possible if you believe, Sarah brings audiences takeaways on breaking through in your own career, from staying focused under pressure and creating change to managing work-life balance and being the best you can be. See it, believe it, do it. Join us for the next Red Hat Coffee Hour to learn how you can apply Sarah’s lessons learned to create winning plays for transforming your people, processes, and technologies to achieve better business outcomes.

Red Hat Coffee Hour with Sarah Thomas

"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 your mechanical devices 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?  Is it hard to curate sensor data? How do you create, train and deploy failure prediction algorithms and models?  What kind of platform do you use for these items?
Failure prediction in real time on time series data (gathered by sensors) can be realized with the use of Open Source tools. We will deliver an overall view of how to start with the generation of new raw sensor data (typically captured by an Edge device), create a failure prediction model and end up with a real time graph that shows alerts warning that a failure is imminent for a mechanical device. 
But that’s not where the story ends.  We also need to address ‘security’.  From transferring and storing data to working with models, security is vital to working with sensors at the Edge.  Taking lessons learned from Cyber Security Crime we will discuss how Edge and IoT hardware can be easy to exploit.  We will then outline what security fundamentals are important to have in place along with common technology mitigations.  
Join us while we take you through creating data science applications on the edge and how we secure data, models and edge devices."

Reduce complexity with IT automation for insurance organizations

We have heard that time is money and know all too well that when IT infrastructure or workloads are down, your costs mount up every minute. How do you minimize this disaster?

Wouldn’t it help to have a trusted advisor helping you with consistency in deployment and provisioning?

In this webinar, hear what others do to:

• Make sure system uptime is a high priority that helps minimize business risk and improve profitability, because when services go down, there is real money on the line
• Maintain standardization and avoid non-standard deployment and non-conformity that can cause problems
