SaltStack is a software configuration management tool that automates and enforces desired states in distributed infrastructure systems and remote devices. It monitors systems in real time, responds to changes, and reduces downtime. SaltStack can be integrated with various platforms and tools, improving agility, scalability, and stability for organizations like LinkedIn.

In 2020, VMware acquired SaltStack to enhance its software configuration management and automation capabilities. This led to the development of VMware Aria Automation Config, which combines SaltStack with VMware's expertise in multi-cloud environments.

The webinar will discuss the evolution of software configuration management, VMware's commitment to open source and the SaltStack community, and how LinkedIn utilizes SaltStack for managing their infrastructure. It will also showcase VMware Aria Automation Config, powered by SaltStack.

If you can’t see it, you can’t protect it. Considering 44% of breaches perform some sort of lateral movement, that’s a lesson you don’t want to learn the hard way. (Source: VMware Contexa)
 

Today, east-west infiltration by cybercriminal adversaries can quickly turn a relatively minor breach into a damaging data-exfiltration incident or a full-scale ransomware attack. That's why reducing attacker dwell time and curbing lateral movement are essential components to any network security strategy—no matter if you operate on premises, in private clouds or multi-cloud architectures.


Join expert Chad Skipper for eye-opening insights and practical strategies to defend your organization against post-breach lateral movement. You’ll leave the session armed with:
 

Research, statistical analysis, and threat reports emphasizing the threat that lateral movement represents
Key metrics, strategies, and modern solutions for detecting post-exploitation east-west movement
Best practices for an effective response once suspicious activity is detected

Did you know that on average it takes organizations more than three months using legacy load balancers to scale their load balancing capacity? That includes tedious policy management, expensive over-provisioning (or even more expensive under-provisioning), and frustrating supply-chain delays.
 
Join us for a lively, expert-led discussion of application delivery done right. You’ll learn how following the guiding principles of a Cloud Operating Model enables you to get operational simplicity, multi-cloud consistency, pervasive analytics, holistic security, and full life-cycle automation. This means you can spend less time on manual, repetitive tasks and troubleshooting, and more time proactively managing and automating load balancers.

You’ll leave the session with insight into how you can:

- Improve developer productivity by over 27%
- Achieve faster time to scale by 90%
- Lower cost of operations by over 47%

One and Done: Multi-Cloud Load Balancing Done Right

For many frontline organizations today, the same digital tools that empower employees one minute are roadblocks the next, negatively impacting your outcomes and retention rate. That’s why having a strong digital employee experience (DEX) is essential to attract and retain skilled employees, foster innovation, and drive growth.
 

If you’re ready for streamlined workflows and improved customer and employee experiences, join us for a look at how innovations in digital employee experience (DEX) technology can empower you to offer top-of-the-line support that meets business objectives. You’ll leave our session armed with insight into how the right solution can empower your team to:
 

1. Leverage analytics and automation to increase IT, developer, and service desk visibility
2. Provide high-quality, efficient remote worker support including remote view and control capabilities
3. Boost the value delivered to employees and customers

The DEX Factor: Boost Outcomes with Automation and Remote Support

As organizations leverage the speed, flexibility and scale offered by a multi-cloud architecture, complexity grows quickly, making it a challenge for IT teams to ensure the security of applications and data, and risking compliance. Meanwhile, an increasing cloud footprint expands attack surfaces. Ever-opportunistic threat actors lurk there, ready to exploit cloud misconfiguration vulnerabilities.

Does using SaaS to manage VDI, DaaS, and published apps mean you have to start with or move everything to the cloud? Nope. But it’s probably the right model if you want to rapidly scale environments, automate processes through APIs, and gain improved overall visibility and troubleshooting.
 
Join expert Sachin Sharma for a lively discussion on how SaaS can take your VDI deployment to the next level.

SaaS 101: Take Your VDI Deployment To The Next Level

Today real-time visibility into the operation and performance of containerized applications and Kubernetes clusters is very important.  Customers demand to see data from all four pillars of observability i.e. Metrics, Events, Logs and Traces in a single platform to quickly and accurately identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and optimize applications. With VMware Aria Operations for Applications, you can achieve the above easily. Aria Apps provides a unified observability multi-cloud management solution with single-source-of-truth visibility and contextualized information across logs, metrics, and traces for greater business agility while maintaining SLAs. Observability provides answers as to why something is wrong and how to fix it.
 
Key Use-Cases – 
• See metrics, events, logs and traces for an application on k8s come together in a single platform.
• Pinpoint root cause faster to improve uptime, lower MTTR, and enjoy greater business agility.
• How Aria Apps fits into the Aria Hub and Graph multiverse.

Unified Observability for Kubernetes and Applications

With one organization getting hit every 11 seconds, ransomware is top of mind for all IT professionals. In this webcast, we’ll show you how to leverage VMware solutions to defend in depth against ransomware attacks. From networking security with NSX to endpoint protection with Carbon Black and disaster recovery with VMware Cloud DR, you’ll learn how to deliver IT resiliency at scale throughout all the stages of the ransomware protection cycle.

Accelerated Ransomware Protection and Recovery

Hardware-centric and virtual load balancers are, unfortunately, plagued by a trio of pitfalls: they can be expensive, inflexible, and restrictive in functionality—the exact opposite of what today’s high-performance applications require and which lead to troubleshooting difficulty. 

A cloud-ready load balancer like NSX Advanced Load Balancer (Avi), for example, could eliminate these issues for good. 

Tune into this webinar to learn, in just under an hour, how to work with a cloud-based load balancer like NSX and to gain a demo of how this platform:
• Eliminates capacity management challenges and overprovisioning
• Manages traffic spikes with on-demand autoscaling 
• Offers a single platform for data center, cloud, and container-based apps.

Cloud Load Balancers Step in When Hardware Falls Short

As cybercriminals increasingly target backup files with ransomware, are you confident your organization is protected? To be sure, teams today require explicit validation that recovery points are clean—otherwise, admins risk re-introducing ransomware into the production environment. The challenge is: Modern ransomware recovery requires the integration of multiple, often scattered tools and processes and most companies lack the enhanced capabilities required to address rising threats.
