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.

IT automation strategies are the main topic of conversation because manual methods alone are no longer enough to manage complexity across hybrid environments, such as clouds, multiclouds, and on-premises technologies. Teams have to coordinate within and across domains and complicated technology, but without an automation strategy in place, delivering critical new capabilities will be slow. In addition, the operational infrastructure needs to be more consistent and change needs to be done efficiently and accurately. 

Event-driven automation is a new technique that provides an automated response to changing IT conditions. It can help keep key applications running smoothly with fewer issues due to consistent and accurate actions. When an issue does occur, resolution can also be achieved in less time with automation instead of extensive coordination. While event-driven automation is not a new technique, what’s needed is a way to expand its use while shrinking the technical debt of custom development. Join us to learn more about how to take advantage of observability and automation to run your critical technology more smoothly.

In this webinar, you’ll discover: 

How to create a strategy that uses the right event-driven automation technology to automate more of your Day 2 operational demands.
When to apply event-driven automation to ensure faster mean time to repair (MTTR) so critical applications remain up and running.
When to proactively respond with event-driven automation.
How to integrate automation into your hybrid and multivendor IT environment to go from insights to action (e.g., from observability tools, system logs, and multiple sources of events to automated actions).

The operational effect of observability and event-driven automation

Simplifying your security operation with automation

"Ansible® content is the essential fuel for all successful automation. At Red Hat, we often see IT teams fall short of extracting full value from their automation due to lack of access to familiar development tools or experience writing Ansible code. Even expert-level content creators and automation developers can struggle to improve their productivity while keeping up with tedious code maintenance.

Join this webinar to learn about how to use the integrated automation content development capabilities within Ansible to help you level-up your skills. We'll show you how features, such as Ansible Lightspeed, Ansible Content Collections, and automation development tools can help you create reliable, trusted code in less time while jump-starting your automation development productivity. 

In this webinar we’ll cover:

How Ansible Lightspeed for IBM watsonx Code Assistant helps you create and maintain quality Ansible code.
Ways to start automating more efficiently while ensuring trust with Ansible Content Collections.
Enhanced and supported automation development tools (e.g., Molecule) to create, test, and deploy your automation code.
Ansible's emerging capabilities in both artificial intelligence (AI) and overall developer experience. "

Accelerate your automation with AI and Ansible development tools

"Many organizations are facing some challenges with optimized operations that support business objectives. This includes hybrid cloud complexity and cost management, addressing resource constraints and skills gaps, delivering with speed and accuracy, ensuring resilience with less downtime, managing risk and more. Against this backdrop, IT leaders must also improve return on investment (ROI) and do more with the same or fewer resources.

Put simply, manual methods cannot withstand these simultaneous challenges. The time is now for automation, and it has become a critical approach to operations. Join this webinar session to hear about the practical advantages of enterprise automation.

In this webinar, we’ll cover: 

How key customers have adopted enterprise automation to save large amounts of staff working hours.
The types of ROI our customers are seeing from automation.
How you can automate multidomain processes from the cloud to the enterprise to the network and edge—including with other Red Hat® products.
How new innovations in event-driven automation and generative artificial intelligence (AI) are paving the way for advanced automation.
Recommended best practices for starting small and thinking big, and operating from a single source of truth. "

Expanding automation to ensure success with critical applications

As hybrid and multicloud environments become more widely used, platform engineering andITOps teams are looking for a balanced blend of development and operations features tosimplify cloud-native application development, support overburdened DevOps teams, andaccelerate value and IT delivery with a rich partner ecosystem. Red Hat recentlycommissioned Forrester to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study, examining thepotential return on investment (ROI) enterprises might realize by engaging with Red Hat®OpenShift® cloud services on AWS and Microsoft Azure. In the study, Forrester uncovered anROI of 468%, a net present value (NPV) of US$4.08M, and a reduction in applicationdevelopment time of up to 70%.In this webinar, we’ll look at an abridged version of the Forrester TEI study and provide aframework to evaluate the financial impact of using Red Hat OpenShift cloud services,including benefits, costs, risk, and flexibility.

IT automation is faster and easier to implement than ever before. In many cases, enterprises are seeing quicker time to value and return on investments in less than one year. IT automation drives efficiencies in Day 0, 1, and 2 of operations. IT teams looking to expand and mature their IT automation solutions must adopt what IDC calls 'smart automation.’ Smart automation utilizes key capabilities such as event-driven proactive processes to drive today's digital business with a high-performing, resilient infrastructure. In addition, smart automation enables FinOps teams to be more effective in controlling costs and forecasting cloud spending.
