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

"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."

The panel will explore the unique challenges defense, education, and utilities sectors have when implementing automation, and how those lessons can be applied to any challenge.

Automation in the public sector: where to start, and how to know it’s working

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.

Hybrid cloud environments add an additional layer of complexity to infrastructure, network, application, and user administration. IT teams need to manage both on-site and cloud-based environments, often using specialized management tools for each. Although these tools accomplish their intended tasks, they don’t provide a platform for automating tasks across hybrid environments or capability outside of their specific domain. As a result, it can be difficult to automate routine tasks or connect and scale hybrid cloud resources using these tools. Automation can unite hybrid cloud management under a single set of processes and policies to improve consistency, scalability, and speed.

Join this session to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can simplify how you provision, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure, streamlining and operationalizing activities across multiple platforms and services.

"As long as there is software, there will be patching. Now more than ever, security vulnerabilities left unpatched put agencies at significant risk. The Cost of a data breach report 2022 found that vulnerabilities in third-party software are some of the most costly breaches and are a common attack vector. Organizations that automate security incident response have a 74-day shorter recovery time. This is the largest, single cost-saving decision an agency can make to protect its systems and data. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a binding operational directive for federal civilian agencies that calls for a process (and actions) to remediate known exploited vulnerabilities within two weeks. Timelines could even be accelerated for vulnerabilities that pose a grave risk to the federal enterprise. Automation provides the ability to react at this speed and scale operations to busy IT teams. Vulnerabilities are not isolated to just an operating system, application, or device. They can come from any angle at any layer of the digital infrastructure, which requires a solution that helps IT teams work together. Additionally, the solution must be able to integrate with existing security response tools for streamlined and rapid response. Agencies that deploy an enterprise automation platform are better positioned to proactively secure their hybrid infrastructure, reducing response time and increasing compliance. Join this webinar to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform is the solution to meet modern cybersecurity challenges. In this webinar, we’ll cover: The risk of known exploits to the federal enterprise CISA-binding operational directive for remediating vulnerabilities
How an enterprise automation strategy provides a security response in less time
An overview of Ansible Automation Platform
Join us to find out about the substantial value automation provides when responding to the security incidents and compliance requirements."

"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."

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."
