We revolutionised 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.
We are Red Hat. We've been here for more than 25 years, and we're here to help you face your business challenges head-on.

After deciding which cloud migration approach to take, you need to understand the nuances of the platforms that will be running your workloads. Kubernetes is the de facto system for cloud-based workloads; however, more information is needed to have a successful migration. 

To be successful in migrating to a cloud platform, you also need to understand each application’s specific needs and profiling to optimize its cloud deployment for efficiency, scalability, resilience, and security. 

In this session, Red Hat technical specialists, Managed OpenShift Black Belts, will discuss what they have learned advising customers on their cloud journeys, why migrate to Red Hat® Cloud Services, and show you how to: 

-Set up your OpenShift® clusters using best practices around security, monitoring, and productivity, along with roles and responsibilities. 
-Simplify and automate onboarding applications by using common deployment patterns. 
-Evaluate which applications should be moved to OpenShift cloud services using a decision framework.

Cloud workloads: Best practices onboarding apps to a Kubernetes-based platform

Community open source distributions are tempting because they are without cost and easily accessible, but there are a number of potential downsides that can introduce risk and long-term expenses.  

For instance, updates and releases for CentOS Linux® 7 will be ending on June 30, 2024. While CentOS and the CentOS community provide tremendous value, system administrators have long been frustrated with delayed fixes, the limited ecosystem of vendors and third-party applications, and its inability to solve problems.  

In this webinar, we’ll cover use cases highlighting how community open source users who switched to Red Hat Enterprise Linux: 

-Lowered and streamlined their cost of operations.
-Accelerated development cycles with built-in tools and capabilities.
-Maximized uptime and avoided emergencies due to security issues.
-Improved security with integrated tools and dedicated resources.
-Created or migrated to the platform of their future.

Enhance your organization's resilience through IT automation In 2023

It is essential to establish a solid foundation in your automation practice as you prepare to scale automation across your organization. The wrong approach can lead to wasted time later identifying and remediating issues, developing playbooks from scratch, or manually assisting internal IT users who could be more self-sufficient. Additionally, having access to the right data can help you respond to automation workflows proactively, prioritize the right projects, and communicate success to key stakeholders. 

In this webinar, we’ll introduce you to the suite of Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform hosted services. Discover how to use these value-added features to automate more quickly using trusted content collections, gain visibility into your automation using analytics, and develop an automation practice that helps teams across your organization work more efficiently. You’ll also get an early look at the 2022 hosted services roadmap for Ansible Automation Platform so you can plan your automation journey along with Red Hat. 

Our technical experts will discuss and demonstrate: 
-How automation hub can help you automate faster and more securely using certified content collections as well as your own private content.
-Rich analytics and reporting to help you spot and troubleshoot issues early. 
-Simple tools to help you predict, measure, and communicate the ROI of your automation.
-Self-service support for teams across your organization using an automation services catalog.

Analyze and expand automation with hosted services

As IT organizations continue to automate for increased productivity and a competitive edge, the focus shifts from “just” automating to expanding, scaling, and optimizing automation. How are you going to control and manage the great automation you’ve built across teams and globally? 

In this webinar we’ll discuss and demonstrate two new capabilities of Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform. Automation controller and automation mesh simplify and optimize your ability to run automation at scale. These technologies separate the control plane from the execution plane, which makes it easier to scale automation as your needs grow. We’ll show you how automation mesh allows execution nodes that are located in multiple geographies to run automation while being controlled by a single automation controller from a central location. 

You’ll hear how to:
-Use automation controller to define, operate, scale, and delegate automation while maintaining the right levels of control and consistency.
-Manage an inventory.
-Launch and schedule workflows from a centralized place.  
-Deploy on an automation mesh to run automation at scale—close to the source, when and where you need it.

Scale automation more easily

How do you optimize the costs of your Kubernetes clusters using Red Hat® Cloud Services? Learn how using OpenShift® cloud services, part of Red Hat Cloud Services, can help reduce costs with reserved instances and spot instances as well as with design and implementation decisions.

IT budgets are stretched, and we are constantly being asked to do more with less. OpenShift® cloud services, part of Red Hat® Cloud Services, allows you to scale to meet demand while providing flexible pricing options from the cloud provider.

Beyond this advantage, there are numerous design and implementation decisions as well as best practices that can further reduce your cloud infrastructure costs. From spot instances to resource metering to short-lived clusters and streamlining upgrade processes, there are multiple approaches that should be evaluated to ensure that you are making cost-efficient decisions.

All of these factors can be combined to build a comprehensive total cost of ownership (TCO) model that will help you answer a key question—is it more cost efficient to build or buy my Kubernetes-based application platform?

In this session, we’ll help you understand how to optimize your cloud infrastructure for Red Hat OpenShift by learning:

-The cloud provider pricing models applicable with OpenShift cloud services.
-How to configure your clusters to reduce unnecessary resource consumption.

New ways to automate across public and hybrid cloud environments

Hybrid cloud environments add an additional layer of complexity to infrastructure, network, application, and user administration. IT teams need to manage both on-site and cloud-based environments, often using specialized management tools for each. Although these tools accomplish their intended tasks, they don’t provide a platform for automating tasks across hybrid environments or capability outside of their specific domain. As a result, it can be difficult to automate routine tasks or connect and scale hybrid cloud resources using these tools. Automation can unite hybrid cloud management under a single set of processes and policies to improve consistency, scalability, and speed. 

Join this session to learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can simplify how you provision, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure, streamlining and operationalizing activities across multiple platforms and services.

Thinking of building your own Kubernetes platform as part of your cloud strategy? How will you manage upgrades, third-party integrations, security, and uptime? 

Join us as we discuss how an application platform may be a better use of your resources than managing Kubernetes clusters.

Do-it-yourself (DIY) Kubernetes deployments are often seen as panaceas for migrating applications to a cloud environment and building cloud-native applications. Clusters can be spun up in public cloud environments for minimal financial cost.

However, you may still need many additional services to make your custom Kubernetes platform usable by your product teams—security, logging, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), registries, build tools, and developer self-service catalogs at a minimum. Not to mention the challenges around maintaining the platform when it comes to upgrades, third party integrations, uptime, and technical debt.

In this webinar, hear from our experts about the challenges in going the DIY Kubernetes route and why you should consider a hosted turnkey application platform instead. You’ll learn how to redirect your focus to delivering value to business stakeholders and end customers instead of operating a Kubernetes cluster. Join us to learn how Red Hat® Cloud Services can help speed up time to value and increase your innovation potential. 

In this session, we’ll help you understand when you should (and should not) use Kubernetes. Topics include:
-The difference between Kubernetes and an application platform
-Key challenges involved with a DIY Kubernetes platform.
-Calculating the total cost of ownership.
