The benefits of a simple, trusted, and comprehensive hybrid cloud platform [RP1]

The Open Path to Digital Transformation Series: Episode 3

What does an open culture really mean for organisations undergoing transformation? What is more important, culture, process or technology? What’s the best way to connect processes to the rest of the business? This three-part virtual roundtable explores how to create a clear path towards open transformation.

In this final episode of the series, our experts discuss how to unlock the power of open technology.

Is there a synergy between open culture and the use of open technology? What if proprietary solutions have a technology edge?

Speakers Include:

- Belinda Finch, CIO, Three UK
- Hannah Hennig, CIO Semens
- Warner Knoblich, SVP and General Manager EMEA, Red Hat
- Dr Christopher Lohmann, CIO, Talanx AG/HDI
- Ashish Surti, EVP technology and security, Colt
- Major General Tom Copinger-Symes CBE, Director Strategy, UK Strategic Command
- Gren Manuel, Business Journalist, Raconteur

Jenkins is the most popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool in the world, and many people have tried to extend Jenkins to handle Continuous Delivery. But Jenkins was not designed to build and deploy changes - especially at scale.

The webinar will cover:

The limitations of the legacy CI/CD platforms
Tekton overview
The advantages of Gitops?
ArgoCD overview
How to simplify the adoption of Tekton and ArgoCD?
How to smoothly migrate to a Cloud Native CI/CD Platform?

Modern microservice architectures require stable/reliable multi-environment CI/CD automations. There are a lot of technologies addressing the need of CI/CD solutions. However, traditional solutions tend to be rigid and resource hungry. Tekton is a flexible Kubernetes-native open-source CI/CD framework which enables automating deployments across multiple platforms (Kubernetes, serverless, VMs, etc). Tekton aspires to be the common denominator in CI/CD, modeling what Kubernetes has become in Cloud-Native Application development.

In this webinar, we will showcase the potential of combining Tekton and ArgoCD for building a CI/CD workflow. Tekton, a Kubernetes native framework, will be in charge of the Continuous Integration while ArgoCD will add the Continuous Delivery using a GitOps approach. During the session, we will briefly describe all the steps, tools, and frameworks involved in this CI/CD workflow and finally make a live demo that will deploy an application on Stakater App Agility Platform running on Binero Cloud.


Speaker: Muhammad Hanzala
He is a Site Reliability Engineer @Stakater. More specifically on topics related to the Kubernetes ecosystem and the automation of deployments with Tekton and ArgoCD. He is passionate about GO and a huge enthusiast of Kubernetes!

What does an open culture really mean for organisations undergoing transformation? What is more important, culture, process or technology? What’s the best way to connect processes to the rest of the business? This three-part virtual roundtable explores how to create a clear path towards open transformation.

What does an open development culture really look like in the post-COVID world, and what qualities do CIOs need to lead digital transformation initiatives, secure buy-in and lead by example?

The first episode in this series will see our top panel of CIOs discuss how they created an open culture in their respective organisations:

- Belinda Finch, CIO, Three UK
- Hannah Hennig, CIO Semens
- Warner Knoblich, SVP and General Manager EMEA, Red Hat

Have you ever thought about expanding your on-prem Kubernetes clusters to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud on-demand during heavy load? Yes? We have too!

Join us on an interactive journey to discover the main challenges of implementing hybrid cloud bursting for Kubernetes clusters which allow nominal operation of on-premise resources during typical load periods, while utilizing the elasticity of the cloud to scale horizontally during peak demand.

Investing in cloud capabilities can be overwhelming for any organization. The webinar will present how cloud bursting is a great way to get started today in cloud computing with very little risk and manageable cost. Whether your organization is considering moving to the cloud for the first time or is using this strategy to bolster current capacity, cloud bursting could provide the answer.

The talk will discuss the current state of the technical concept, known problems and insides of the already proven hybrid Kubernetes cloud bursting steps for stateless workload. What parts can be automated? What steps may need to be manual? Let's see how an automated solution could look like in the future and what steps are missing.

Speakers:
Tero Ahonen - Principal Solutions Architect (Red Hat)
Waseem Hassan - DevOps Engineer / Software Engineer, CKA, OpenShift Expert (Stakater)

About Stakater:
Stakater is the Nordics leading Kubernetes enablement firm that designs, builds, implements & manages sophisticated Kubernetes infrastructures for the world’s most complex and interesting organizations.

Organizations today are shifting in terms of what they expect from their technology providers. Collaborations like that between Red Hat and NGINX (part of F5) help our customers in the Financial Services Industry (FSI) and other sectors reduce friction by enabling seamless integration with some of the most popular Linux, automation, and container platforms.

Join this webinar to learn how to secure, scale, and support application delivery – no matter where you are on the journey from monolithic apps to microservices. You can gain greater visibility, control, and speed to get the most out of your traditional apps, manage a hybrid portfolio enable automation, or all the above!

Change may be inevitable, but resistance to change might be more so. Old ways of working don’t lend themselves to innovative outcomes, but individuals often attach their identity to their tasks, which creates friction and slows progress. Recognizing patterns of predictable conflicts, how can organizations reduce resistance, accelerate technology adoption, and improve the probability of success? This presentation will highlight core conflicts and patterns of failure with actionable advice for improving outcomes.

Business and technology leaders face many unknowns heading into 2021. The global pandemic caused many organizations to accelerate their digital transformation plans by as much as three to four years, according to McKinsey. IT leaders need to build on the momentum initiated by these changes to create new business and operating models that embrace four key values of digital culture: speed, impact, openness, and autonomy.

In this webinar, Abbie Lundberg, president of Lundberg Media and contributing editor at Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, will discuss findings from her forthcoming research for Harvard Business Review Analytic Services about the new rules IT leaders need to adopt for the next normal. Together, Abbie along with the CIO of Johnson & Johnson, Jim Swanson, will dive into four priorities for CIO success.

Presenters:
- Abbie Lundberg, Harvard Business Review Analytic Services
- Jim Swanson. Chief Information Officer, Johnson & Johnson
- Ginny Hamilton, Community Manager, The Enterprisers Project, Red Hat

The next generation of hybrid cloud applications won't be confined to central data-centres or public cloud deployments; instead, some of these innovations will exist at the edges of the networks, answering consumer demands and solving business challenges with the power that comes from near real-time processing and analysis.

This future at the edge is powered by data, 5G, Linux containers and Kubernetes.

Automation can bring efficiency and agility to your environment, but Ansible is more than just a configuration management tool helping you install apache.

I will explore some other uses of Ansible to lighten the load of Ops and how Ansible could be the hardest worker in your team. Let Ansible automate so you can innovate.

Join Chris Mwanzia, Senior Manager, Cloud and infrastructure Solutions, and Manager, Container Management and Automation and Alex Kipkirui, Senior Manager Enterprise Integration & Order Management, to hear how they selected, deployed and now use Red Hat OpenShift. The frank discussion will cover what's worked well, what lessons were learned and what advice they would give to other teams looking at OpenShift or similar solutions.
