We revolutionized the operating system with Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®. Now, we have a broad portfolio, including hybrid cloud infrastructure, middleware, agile integration, cloud-native application development, and management and automation solutions. With Red Hat technologies, companies can successfully adapt as business becomes more digital and interconnected.

The purpose of this presentation is to help define Infrastructure as Code using a Data Driven Automation approach. 

This demonstration will delve into the development practices using Ansible Tower and Ansible automation to selectively invoke automation by passing in a common data structure which will allow infrastructure deployments across data centers, data center technologies, and cloud environments.

Data Driven Automation

This session takes a humorous, yet informative look and why automation isn't just a passing fad, it's a necessity in today's enterprise. Covering both public and private sector, you will learn how automation in general and Ansible in particular can lead to not just job security, but also job satisfaction. 

This talk will include:
-  Discussions around automation in both the public and private sector
-  Discussions of real use cases with measurable results 
-  Examples of real use cases

Embracing Automation

It's hard to find a homogeneous IT stack nowadays. You may have a Linux server farm, but an AD cluster providing identity. Or you have a cross-platform build environment that builds your software for multiple different targets.

Automate Windows Environments with Ansible

Automation technologies, like Ansible, are great for removing mundane tasks from IT staff's to-do lists and freeing them up to do more. But often automation efforts throughout an organization are siloed and 'islands of automation' pop up. What organizations really need is not an automation tool, but rather an automation platform to help them collaboratively scale automation, manage with policy and governance and provide the structure to collaborate across teams bring the power of automation to the entire IT organization. With the launch of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, organizations can do just that.

Topics include:
- Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform - Engine, Tower, Networking, and more, all in one.
- A walk through the new Automation Analytics which gives enterprises the ability to view information about automation health, usage and performance across your enterprise.
- An explanation of Ansible Content Collections - the new method of building and consuming Ansible content and why this is important to you.
- A walk through of the new Automation Content Hub which is the place to discover, publish and manage your Ansible Collections

Modern Automation has exploded into the scene and often becomes a project in itself to choose where to start. 

In this session, we will discuss: 
-  The journeys of some of our customers
-  How specific inflection use cases like DR or IAC that are unique and advantageous to their organization goes on to be inspiration for wider adoption within their organization

The session is brought to you by Sean Sim, our Cloud Solutions Business Development Manager who has extensively worked with customers to get started in the region.

Automation Adoption for the Real World

Automation Adoption Journey guides customers through the culture, platform, and portfolio changes required to adopt and realize the benefit of enterprise-wide automation.

In this session, we'll discuss:
-  How to get a hands-on services engagement to iteratively deploy and manage a portfolio of workflows and orchestrations 
-  How to drive cultural change in evolutionary steps

The journey is aimed at helping customers develop self-sufficiency and ultimately realize the benefits of automation at scale across the enterprise.

The Impact of Ansible Automation Journey

We previously spoke about Ansible Collections, which is the a headline new feature in Ansible in 2.9, and how will have a large impact on the wider Ansible community. These updates will contribute to Ansible’s mission of enabling more innovation through automation. Our goal is to help you push the boundaries so you can automate to accelerate through integration and collaboration.

What Ansible Automation Means for Your Business?

The Red Hat Ansible Automation and Red Hat OpenShift teams have been collaborating to build a new way to package, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes native applications: Ansible Operator. Given the interest in moving workloads to Kubernetes, we are happy to introduce a new tool that can help ease the move toward cloud native infrastructure.

Kubernetes Operators Love Ansible

DevOps is often seen as a ‘silver bullet’ to magically transform how an organisation delivers software . However many attempt the journey without properly understanding the business impact of DevOps - and without doing so, greatly increases the likelihood of failed DevOps initiatives.

In this session we will discuss:
-  How to measure the outcomes of DevOps 
-  Understanding how Ansible plays a crucial role in improving your application delivery. 
-  How to build a business case to implement automation 
-  How to speed up application delivery by improving compliance processes - including the dreaded roadblock of the Change Control Board. 

With Ansible you can increase velocity AND stability to ensure your business maintains its competitive advantage in today’s digital first world.

Business Impact of DevOps & Automated Deployment

Automation Hub is new service available included as part of your Ansible Automation Platform subscription to discover and download supported Ansible Content Collections. These content collections contain ways to consume automation, and how-to guides to implement them in your infrastructure. This session includes demo.

Adopting a hybrid cloud strategy is a journey, not a destination. When you consider using a public cloud environment for some or all of your applications, you’re faced with a number of choices and approaches. When considering a hybrid cloud environment, you often end up being overwhelmed and discover that vendors don’t use the same language when talking about them.

Detailed planning with Red Hat and Amazon Web Services (AWS) can help you successfully create, scale, and migrate innovative applications to an agile hybrid cloud environment as big as you need and available whenever and wherever you need it.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

-  A series of questions you might consider when planning your hybrid cloud journey
-  How the Red Hat and AWS partnership can simplify a potentially complicated journey.

Begin Your Hybrid Cloud Journey with Red Hat and AWS

A recent Vanson Bourne survey of 900 IT leaders showed that an organization's ability to invest in digital transformation is severely hindered because over 70% of their budget is spent on maintaining existing infrastructure. Adopting an open, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is one approach to freeing up budget, but there are some technical challenges.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:

-  Why hyperconverged approaches should be considered for infrastructure consolidation
-  The technical challenges of using HCI for consolidation
-  Circumstances under which to to consider an open HCI
-  Operations benefits of open HCI
-  Two customer use cases using an open HCI for server consolidation
-  Migrating virtual machines from legacy virtualization to open HCI, including a demo

Why You Should Consider Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Consolidation

Innovations like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and high performance computing (HPC) present a vision of IT’s future, one where intelligent solutions can more effectively analyze and address evolving business needs. But this vision can be limited by current IT infrastructure, which can often require significant investments in order to enable new workloads. To answer this challenge, businesses need to deliver emerging workloads on a standardized and accessible infrastructure. 

During this webinar, we’ll discuss:
-  Ways to drive technologies and solutions for AI, ML, and HPC across different industries 

You’ll walk away with an understanding of:

-  How graphic processing units (GPUs) can tackle intense computing tasks
-  How Red Hat OpenShift helps to facilitate deployments across the hybrid cloud, from on-premises servers to public cloud environments, enabling customers to migrate applications more seamlessly across IT footprints
-  How OpenShift Operators are used for lifecycle management of GPUs

Accelerate Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the Cloud

Incorporating IT automation is key to managing large numbers of systems and applications efficiently and consistently at scale. Ansible® can be used across a wide array of cloud providers, DevOps tools, and operating systems–including Microsoft Windows.

Red Hat® Training has developed a new course, Microsoft Windows Automation with Red Hat Ansible (DO417), designed for Windows Server professionals without previous Ansible experience. In this course, students will use Ansible to write automation playbooks for Windows systems to perform common system administration tasks that can be reproduced at scale. Students will use Red Hat Ansible Tower, a component of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform to securely manage and run Ansible Playbooks from a central, web-based user interface.

Public Cloud is the perfect target for automation, and particularly Ansible Automation. There are modules and specific guidelines for all the main public clouds, and documentation on how to bring the power of Ansible Automation to your cloud project.

The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the main public cloud platforms underlying HSBC’s move to “Cloud Only” infrastructure. The automation of GCP can easily be performed using Ansible Automation, with 128 modules (at last count) available, as well as the standard roles, playbooks and capabilities you are used to. Ansible allows you to make use of exactly the same simple framework and language that you can use for the rest of the Enterprise IT stack.

This webinar, exclusively for HSBC, will cover the general ideas behind working with public cloud, then go into more detail on working with GCP. We will give you an understanding of how Ansible Automation works to automate the creation, modification and removal of GCP resources. We will explain some simple use cases for GCP that you can start using straight away.

Joining us on the webinar is the HSBC Central Ansible Tower Service team. They will talk about where Ansible Tower is already being used to automate key workflows in HSBC projects on GCP and some of the future plans.
