Digital transformation has driven a rapid increase in the use of cloud, and as a result many organisations are re-architecting their core business software for a distributed application infrastructure. By exploiting modern, agile development concepts such as microservices and APIs, IT leaders are delivering more flexible and responsive application services. However, this distributed infrastructure puts an even greater focus on securing every element of the interconnected cloud and edge platforms.
In this session, F5 Field CTO Bart Salaets and Computer Weekly editor in chief Bryan Glick will discuss the opportunities and challenges for IT leaders in deploying, securing, connecting, and monitoring modern distributed apps. They will cover:
• The business drivers leading organisations to adopt distributed cloud services
• The challenges this presents and how IT leaders are tackling them
• The key technologies involved and how they fit together
• Key distributed cloud use cases
