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.

The edge has become the latest challenge for IT organizations to architect into their hybrid cloud application environment. Common challenges like data gravity, handling disconnected environments, containerization, and upgrades all have to be architected into a solution. The introduction of emerging workloads like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), data analytics at the edge, and the growth of public cloud adoption only complicate the design considerations for a modern application platform. 

Learn from our expert panel, including a lead data scientist, an architect in our Chief Technology office, and a lead architect for customer deployments for edge, AI, and emerging use cases. You’ll come away with practical architectural takeaways that can help with your current and future jobs.

Nick Barcet, Senior Director, CTO Customer-led Open Innovation, Red Hat
David Marcus, North America Data Science and Edge Technical Lead, Red Hat 
Audrey Reznik, Senior Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat

Emerging patterns: Edge, AI/ML, and IoT

Middleware serves a key function within many businesses. However, managing these resources at cloud scale to serve new opportunities and business use cases can become a daunting task. This doesn’t account for the set of functionality that’s needed to fully operate today, including considerations for monitoring and observability. Fortunately, Ansible® middleware can help.

Join Andrius Benokraitis as he welcomes Andrew Block, Roel Hodzelmans, and Guido Grazioli from the Ansible middleware team and they share how Ansible middleware can be used to manage Red Hat® Runtimes products and simplify installation, configuration, and management and open up new and innovative opportunities.

In this on-demand webinar, we: 
-Provide an overview of Ansible middleware, its capabilities, and included Red Hat Runtimes
-Provide a demonstration of how to integrate Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to manage middleware environments deployed across hybrid cloud environments
-Showcase the simplicity of provisioning and deploying Red Hat AMQ across multiple public clouds with Day 2 considerations, such as monitoring and observability
-Present steps for getting started with Ansible middleware, including ways to get involved

Red Hat Ansible Automation for applications and services

We’ll discuss several lessons learned from working with enterprise customers on how to best plan application architecture in a hybrid cloud. We’ll also explore different considerations on how to best keep large organizations aligned on a hybrid cloud strategy and best practices for working with multicloud environments.

You’ll learn:
The hybrid cloud environment.
Considerations in your application architecture when working with a hybrid cloud environment.
Lessons from working in multicloud environments.

5 considerations for architecting across hybrid cloud environments

This session will cover how we support a cloud-first approach to cloud-native development as it relates to the multicloud and hybrid cloud challenges developers face today. This support includes how we remove friction and provide solutions that help application teams deliver value in less time and for less cost, with an emphasis on managed cloud services. 

In this session, we'll cover:
The full life cycle of a developer from creating a new application, iterating it, and then supporting a security-focused software delivery pipeline.
Developer productivity with containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat®OpenShift®.
Tools to meet developers where they are, including IDEs (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ, Hosted), CLIs, and WebUIs.
Hosted offerings that provide a frictionless experience for developers to experiment and iterate over their cloud-native applications.

Developer tools: What's on the horizon

GitOps has become a standard in deploying applications to Kubernetes and is a common methodology adopted by many companies for their DevOps and cloud-native strategy. In this session, we'll review useful methods and examples to follow GitOps practices on Kubernetes and apply them to cloud deployments.

You’ll learn:
How to move continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes to the cloud.
The best practices to consider for getting started with GitOps on Red Hat® OpenShift®. 
The possibilities of Tekton, ArgoCD, Pelorus, and more on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS.

Managed GitOps in the clouds

Organizations can pick between numerous free community-supported distributions of the Linux operating system. In the data center and on AWS, Azure, GKE, CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, and other public clouds, these free versions are available as part of the default configuration. Why then, would you pay for Linux? Join Torsten Volk, Managing Research Director at EMA, and Dan Pacek, Manager of Market and Competitive Intelligence for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (RHEL), to discover why choosing an enterprise-grade Linux subscription model could bring organizations more value.

Why Pay for Open Source Linux? Avoid the Hidden Cost of DIY

Developers tend to be very opinionated in their workflow processes. This poses a problem when an organization needs to standardize and even more of a problem when an organization needs to vet software for security. In this session, you’ll hear how Red Hat stays at the forefront of technology, provides the open source software that developers want to use, and unlocks a robust multicloud partner ecosystem that gives developers the freedom and flexibility to build applications that increase value for their organizations. Red Hat empowers developers with the best platform available for building applications in the cloud.

Empowering developers on their journey to the cloud

This presentation provides valuable insights into how ServiceNow (SNOW) and Ansible (AAP) can work together to create a powerful automation solution for IT service management. 
By leveraging the strengths of these two platforms, organizations can improve their IT service delivery and stay competitive in today's fast-paced business environment.

ServiceNow & Ansible: The Dynamic Duo of IT Service Management

Today’s IT landscape requires efficient innovation and adaption, but it can be challenging. Organizations have to balance existing system maintenance with new innovation and technology modernization efforts—without disrupting the speed of business or causing friction between IT teams—and, if you’re running CentOS Linux®, you may also need to implement an unplanned operating system (OS) migration.

In this session, we’ll introduce three ways to modernize and standardize your Red Hat® Enterprise Linux environment that leads to streamlined automation and management as well as accelerated application development and deployment.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

Convert2RHEL: Standardize on a single platform to empower IT teams to share knowledge and work together on development and deployment as well as efficiently move applications and workloads across footprints.
LEAPP: In-place upgrades give you access to all the latest functionality.
Red Hat Insights: Detect risk automatically and follow prescribed guidance to reduce downtime.

3 ways to modernize and standardize your Red Hat Enterprise Linux infrastructure

Cloud-native applications have evolved from 12-factor stateless applications to a mainstream and modern approach for building and delivering quality stateful data, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), edge, and other applications built for hybrid cloud environments while ensuring security in the software supply chain. In this session, we’ll look into how Red Hat® OpenShift® as an integrated cloud-native platform helps organizations in their cloud-native journey.

You’ll learn:
How cloud-native computing has evolved over the last few years.
Keys to a successful cloud-native journey.
The benefits of cloud-native application delivery in Red Hat OpenShift.
