Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is the foundation for Red Hat's hybrid cloud strategy, opening the path to uniform deployments across on-premise installation, private and public clouds. Migrating from RPM-based distributions like CentOS or Oracle Linux has never been so straightforward using ""convert2rhel"", an automated and easy to use tool that will convert your actual distribution into a fully functional and ready to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux setup.

We will run through the complete migration path, and you will learn how easy it is to migrate your installation and start getting advantage from the amazing features that it brings: Red Hat Insights, Live kernel patching, along with the benefits coming from Red Hat Subscriptions, different levels of support, clear product life cycles, access to all knowledge base resources, errata, and much more.

Migration from CentOS to Red Hat Enterprise Linux - the value of subscription

Whether you're building your new application to take advantage of the latest container technology or using containers to move your applications to a cloud environment, you can benefit from advice from Red Hat container experts.

In this session, we'll demonstrate cloud-native container tools in Red Hat Enterprise Linux that help you build and run containers using Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo as well as taking advantage of all the developer tools in the latest versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Container development on Red Hat Enterprise Linux - What you need to know

Maintaining a secure environment for your enterprise is a key goal for any company yet this task is becoming more complex with increased sophistication of hackers and their attacks—and the added complexity of deployments across hybrid cloud environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers important security-focused features for your critical applications, but how do you manage these features at scale across hybrid cloud environments while minimizing operational overhead? Do you know which of your systems are exposed to high-profile vulnerabilities that pose significant risk to your organization, or where you have gaps in meeting regulatory compliance policies? Red Hat Insights works across Red Hat Enterprise Linux using Ansible playbooks to help address these issues for you in an automated fashion.

Securing and optimizing RHEL environment with Insights & Ansible

At Red Hat, we see edge computing as an opportunity to extend the open hybrid cloud all the way to the data sources and end users. Edge is a strategy to deliver insights and experiences at the moment they’re needed. But, no one said edge was easy. Managing scads of systems is one of the biggest obstacles in deploying new edge computing workloads. Connected devices are generating huge volumes of data. Organizations are overseeing increasing numbers of computing locations, some with intermittent connectivity and limited physical access. At the same time, privacy and security have never been more urgent.

In this session, we'll give an introduction to new capabilities specifically designed for managing scale and complexity of edge computing using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and product team members will answer your questions.

Tackle scale & complexity in your edge deployments

A Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription provides a lot more than just access to the operating system and support from Red Hat. This session will demonstrate some of the many security tools and processes which are available "Out of the Box" with a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription.

Security in & with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a flexible and stable foundation to support hybrid cloud innovation. Build, deploy and manage applications and critical workloads faster and more efficiently with a consistent experience across physical, virtual, private and public cloud, and edge deployments. Build security and compliance into the infrastructure from the time of development and more easily maintain stability throughout the production life cycle. Operate with complete confidence and trust using a platform that empowers innovation and increases operational efficiency within your organization—no matter where you choose to run.

In this session, we'll give an introduction to enhanced and new features provided with RHEL 9 along the themes of innovation, optimization, protection and trust.

What's next with Red Hat Enterprise Linux9

A surge in breaches related to software supply chain exploits, phishing, and other vulnerabilities have led many security teams to realize perimeter security is a thing of the past, as modern infrastructure blurs the lines between insider and outsider, application identity and access management becomes an even more essential part of container security.
This webinar and demo will show you how to simplify and enhance the security of your OpenShift applications with the CyberArk Secrets Management out-of-the-box certified OpenShift integration.
In this webinar experts from Red Hat and CyberArk will cover the best practices that other organizations are leveraging to secure their OpenShift cluster, including:
- Establishing nonhuman / machine identity for your OpenShift applications
- Centrally managing and auditing nonhuman access
- Restoring trust to you application security

IDC's webinar, co-hosted with Red Hat and NGINX, we are here to discuss how organizations can drive adaptive application strategies to enable developer and delivery teams to drive enhanced business value. The webinar will discuss:

• Board level expectations for app delivery in 2022

• Friction points to operating modern app environments at scale

• How to free-up app delivery teams from infrastructure chores to write apps.

Secure App First Strategies

Here is the thing - according to CNCF 28% of enterprises have adopted a weekly app release cycle and 27% are releasing app updates every day. Only automation can help this kind of speed without loosing the quality consumers expect.

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is one of the most popular solutions for this, and you're familiar with that. How about new knowledge? How about Deep Dive on automating the application and security Pipeline with NGINX and Ansible?
Check this video where we cover how together NGINX and Ansible help your teams simplify, accelerate, modernize, and automate cloud native application delivery.

Deep Dive - Automating Pipeline with NGINX and Ansible

With rapidly evolving Cloud Native Landscape, creating an effective developer workflow on Kubernetes can be challenging. In this webinar, Rasheed Amir will talk about the possible options to build an effective development workflow followed by a live demo.

Build an effective local development experience on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Integrating digital technology into all areas of a business is an ongoing process of changing the way you do business. It requires foundational investments in skills, projects, infrastructure, and often, new or rebuilt IT systems. 

Overcoming cultural challenges was important to IT leaders prior to 2021, but in the wake of global disruption, organizations are now forced to rethink their traditional strategies in order to adapt and survive. 

An open approach to leadership means building an organization that can thrive, even during the most turbulent times. Leaders must weave values, principles, and norms into the fabric of their organizations to ensure people remain aligned, unified, engaged, and empowered. But with the future rapidly changing, how are IT executives supposed to plan for the unknown? 

Join Tom Davenport, world-renowned thought leader and author at the forefront of digital innovation, to discuss his perspectives and best practices on how to build a culture that can be a powerful force for innovation. Speaking alongside Tom is Michael Walker, Red Hat’s Global Head of Open Innovation Labs and Transformation Services.

These experts will discuss:

- How companies can learn from transformation lessons and turn them into practical strategies.
- Why building a collaborative, fail-fast culture is more important than ever when integrating digital technology into all areas of a business.
- How to nurture a connected, innovative culture by balancing experimentation with tried-and-true practices.
