Red Hat Partner Connect is a free program for software companies that want to run and certify their software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat OpenShift, and other platforms. Join this channel for technical information and How-to's for building and certifying on our Red Hat platforms.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux just released its latest versions! With RHEL 9.2 and 8.8 we’ve added more features and capabilities to help you innovate more quickly, streamline your infrastructure, better protect your workloads and data, and operate with confidence. 

Join us for a briefing with Eric "the IT Guy" Hendricks to discuss these new features and key dates you should be aware of!

What's new in RHEL 9.2

Developing and deploying Java applications to the cloud is easy, right? Copy the über jar of your application into a directory and run it in any Java capable container. Done. Far from it! Creating well-behaving Java applications in containers in a dynamic computing environment such as the cloud that also utilizes its resources well can be challenging. Why? Because without proper thought your cloud deployment might not be tuned for low memory usage, might not use available memory efficiently, it might pick a wrong GC algorithm or it might not get properly updated when your base image receives security fixes. In this session we'll talk about common gotchas when deploying OpenJDK to containers in resource constrained environments, talk about a few GC and memory settings in order to get the most out of your Java application in the cloud, and give some guidance as to how to debug issues when things go wrong. Finally, we show how a good framework choice when developing a Java application for the cloud from scratch can make a real difference.

The OracleJDK licensing model has changed three times in the last four years, with the latest changes in January 2023. Organizations are now exploring alternatives like OpenJDK because of the financial benefits, but migration can be a challenge. Our products, services, and experience can help you make this transition smoothly. In this session, we will explore the advantages of migrating to OpenJDK and provide practical guidance on how to make the transition as smooth as possible.

The OpenJDK Opportunity. Migrating workloads from OracleJDK to OpenJDK

April continues the Red Hat Ecosystem Certification series of webinars providing an outstanding opportunity to learn about and provide feedback on new and upcoming certification changes and topics!
Topics for this session will include High Bandwidth memory testing, Graphic Port Batch Testing, and Cluster Inspection among others!

Ecosystem Certification Community

More than 16.5 million Java developers are currently working to realize business requirements and spend a ton of time and effort to optimize the application performance for a variety of workloads (e.g., Web, Mobile, AI/ML, Edge) in the cloud. A big issue for the developers is to adopt a new language programming or runtimes over Java due to the lack of compatibility with Kubernetes. This session will walk you through how developers can scaffold a Java project from scratch and then evolve it as a Kubernetes native application in terms of optimizing resources with the native build, integrating Kubernetes manifest (ConfigMap, Secret, Health Check), building container images, and deploy it to Kubernetes. You can also continue testing and debugging the application while it’s already deployed to the remote Kubernetes, the same as the local developer experiences of inner loop development.

From Zero to Hero in Kubernetes Native Java

The time has come to bid farewell to CentOS Linux. Let us show you the simplest way(s) to get from point A to point B. If you have CentOS Linux in your environment, you'll want to join us as we discuss your options for moving, and surprising benefits you'll gain, once you're successfully running your workloads on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.



In this presentation, Eric "the IT Guy" Hendricks will be covering:

This will be the first of a series of webinars going over SaaS architecture and Red Hat best practices.  In this session we want to cover what is a SaaS, what applications might be a good candidate for SaaS and what are the high level architecture decisions that need to be made as a part of the SaaS development process.

Monolithic Java applications typically require significant time, effort, and money to support and maintain. Modernizing these applications can help you get more from your existing investments and free time for strategic projects, feature improvements, and new applications that support business initiatives.

Not all application modernization efforts should follow the same pattern. In this session, we will explore three popular paths to application modernization including rehosting, replatforming, and refactoring.

We will cover a comprehensive set of options for Java on cloud providers for a range of technical requirements and consumption models. Additionally, we will explore refactoring a Spring application to run on OpenShift.

Red Hat technologies include: JBoss EAP, OpenShift (ARO), Quarkus

Modernizing Java Workloads for the Cloud
