Open source solutions and IT automation are central topics of this channel. 
In various webinars, our specialists address current topics on various open-based tools (Kubernetes, Ansible, Openshift, Puppet...).  

By using these tools correctly, users can automate processes as well as infrastructure in a targeted manner and thus gain great advantages through less work, lower error rates significant time savings. These live, interactive webinars will feature:
-> High-level overviews 
-> Technical demonstrations 
-> Vendor-independent user stories.
The live webinars will be made available on Brighttalk ondemand after broadcast.

orcharhino proxies are the work horses in an orcharhino infrastructure. They talk to attached services, care for the communication with the clients and provide content. In this webinar we will quickly guide you through their main functions and explain how their behaviour changed with the latest release of orcharhino 6.1.

orcharhino is THE solution for orchestrating data centers! Automate your data center life cycle management as well as your deployment and configuration management. Oversee everything from one single interface.

If you need to update third-party tools like a cmdb when a host configuration changes or after you provided a new version of repositories, you can even automate those tasks with orcharhino. With the webhooks-plugin you can choose actions to trigger webhooks and scripts.

Linux distribution upgrades can become cumbersome and repetitive, while still being error prone. This webinar  focuses on the job template feature within orcharhino and how to use it to automate your SLES Service Pack Upgrades for your hosts.

With release of version 6.0 orcharhino has undergone some major changes under the hood. In this webinar we will address these changes and focus on the benefits they provide and give a brief overview of how to get orcharhino to 6.0.

Automation is important to ease your life in data centers and configuration management is an important building stone for that. In this webinar we will show you how to manage your server configuration using SaltStack.

In this session we will have a guest from the orcharhino development team and discuss the necessary steps to make a stable product based on OpenSource projects and how important it is to be involved in the community.

Behind the Scenes of orcharhino

DevOps ist längst kein neues Phänomen mehr – aber wie setzt man das konkret um und was bedeutet das für mich und meine Organisation? 
Dazu wollen wir in diesem Webinar Beispiele aus DevOps-Projekten zeigen und auf den konkreten Weg hin zu DevOps eingehen. 
Ausgangsbasis für unser DevOps-Consulting ist ursprünglich das 3-Wege-DevOps-Modell, auf das nicht nur unsere Softwareentwicklung inhouse aufsetzt, sondern das auch Grundlage für die Zusammenarbeit aller Atix-Teams ist.

DevOps Geschichten aus dem wahren Leben

This webinar will show how orcharhino and the workflows mainly used to automate deployment, configuration and orchestration of Linux servers can also be performed for Windows machines, using the same mechanisms.

Linux Automation Strategies Applied to Windows

Automation in IT always takes place on different levels: On the one hand, it requires the management of infrastructure, such as (virtual) servers and network components. On the other hand, this infrastructure also needs to be configured and populated with applications.

A key role in the automation of these two levels is played by their formulation in declarative form - one speaks of "Infrastructure as Code" and "Configuration as Code". A popular combination for implementing this concept is to manage infrastructure using Terraform, while Ansible handles application installation and configuration. The only problem: how should the two programs communicate with each other?

In this talk, I will present various interfaces between Terraform and Ansible, ranging from completely separate workflows, to the joint packaging of "Terraform-Ansible code".

This webinar will be with guests of our customer APA. We will talk about scenarios, where they benefit from the automation and simplification in the daily workflows by using orcharhino.

Patching Linuxservers in a heterogeneous environment doesn't have to be complicated. With orcharhino you can maintain an overview over available updates and errata (CVE-security-issues). Additionally, you can easily schedule the installation of patches on multiple servers and control which packages are made available for certain environments.

Das Operator Pattern kann man im Anwendungsbetrieb auf Kubernetes als das „Next Big Thing“ betrachten. Doch was ist dieses „Operator Pattern“, wie funktioniert ein Operator und kann man das eigentlich essen?
Diese Fragen möchten wir im Webinar anhand eines kleinen Beispiels klären und so schauen, wie unser Anwendungsbetrieb durch Operators erleichtert werden kann. Vielleicht wird der Umzug Ihrer Anwendungen in Kubernetes dadurch noch einfacher.

Vorsicht für alle Nicht-Programmierer: Es könnte Code gezeigt werden. ;-)

Speed up deployments in a simple and reproducible way with automation using orcharhino. You can define presets to make one-click-deployments of new servers possible. These presets can already contain fully configured applications.

GitOps is a new way of implementing Continuous Deployment, its core idea being the automated synchronisation of the state of cloud-native applications against a version-controlled reference state. As such, it takes a Git repository as the single source of truth, so that development and operations teams are working with the same set of tools. When implementing a GitOps workflow, however, you are met with several questions like:

How should I structure my repository for managing multiple instances of my applications?
How can I manage privileges for different teams?
How do I deal with sensitive data such as passwords?

In this Webinar, I will demonstrate multiple approaches to answering these questions. As there is no no one-size-fits-all answer, the given overview will guide you in choosing the best solution for your specific workflow.

Common Pitfalls in GitOps Workflows (EN)

Performing daily tasks manually such as orchestrating services, patching servers and other changes can be time-consuming. With orcharhino you can simplify those workflows by using preconfigured jobs using scripts over SSH or with Ansible.

Gemäß dem Mantra - "Alles muss getestet werden" - stellen wir uns heute die Frage: Gilt das auch für Ansible Rollen und wenn ja wie?
Dazu sprechen wir über Molecule und stellen uns unter anderem folgende Fragen:
Was ist Molecule?
Wie funktioniert Molecule?
Wie lässt sich Molecule aufsetzen?
Welchen Mehrwert bringt Molecule?

Und welche Frage haben Sie zu Molecule? Wir beantworten Sie gerne.
