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.

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.

Red Hat OpenShift: A cloud-native application platform

Roundtable discussion: Modernizing your applications in the cloud–where to start, what to expect, and what questions to ask

Presented by: 
Steven Huels, Senior Director of Data & AI Cloud Services, Red Hat
Chuck Svoboda, Senior Director of Cloud Services Go to Market, Global, Red Hat
James Read, EMEA Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat
Marty Wesley, Product Marketing Director, Red Hat

Modernizing your applications in the cloud

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

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

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

With the increasing complexity of the cloud-native landscape, internal developer platforms (IDP) are on the rise. But to take full advantage of IDP by reducing cognitive load and increasing standardization, organizations should also build Golden Paths. In this session, we’ll examine the Golden Paths concept and how to deploy them in your organization.

You’ll learn:
The Golden Path concept.
Tenants and capabilities that make up a Golden Path.
The process of building a Golden Path.

Don’t leave your developers alone in the forest—build Golden Paths

Given the unpredictable global environment, IT leaders are shifting their current strategies to respond to change, mitigate risk, control costs, and achieve efficiency. As organizations take advantage of technologies such as cloud computing, automation, analytics and business intelligence, and application development to solve their business challenges, where do they fall on the list of funding priorities now? And how do they plan to invest in security, people, and process skills training as well as their digital transformation efforts? 

Don't miss this session for CTOs, CIOs, IT directors, and IT professionals to find out their top IT priorities, who’s transforming and how, who’s making the important IT decisions, and what you can learn from their experiences. Get access to new research from Red Hat's 2023 Global tech outlook report and hear what our industry expert believes these insights mean for your success.

The current state of IT: Planning for organizational success

Updates and releases of CentOS Linux® 8 were discontinued on December 31, 2021, and will be discontinued for CentOS Linux 7 on June 30, 2024. If your organization is running part of your environment on CentOS Linux, attend this session to learn which use cases are best suited for CentOS Stream and which are more appropriate for Red Hat® Enterprise Linux. You will also learn about new programs that make Red Hat Enterprise Linux more accessible, streamline migrations, and require minimal staff retraining.
