We revolutionized 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.

The purpose of this presentation is to help define Infrastructure as Code using a Data Driven Automation approach. 

This demonstration will delve into the development practices using Ansible Tower and Ansible automation to selectively invoke automation by passing in a common data structure which will allow infrastructure deployments across data centers, data center technologies, and cloud environments.

Data Driven Automation

It's hard to find a homogeneous IT stack nowadays. You may have a Linux server farm, but an AD cluster providing identity. Or you have a cross-platform build environment that builds your software for multiple different targets.

Automate Windows Environments with Ansible

Automation technologies, like Ansible, are great for removing mundane tasks from IT staff's to-do lists and freeing them up to do more. But often automation efforts throughout an organization are siloed and 'islands of automation' pop up. What organizations really need is not an automation tool, but rather an automation platform to help them collaboratively scale automation, manage with policy and governance and provide the structure to collaborate across teams bring the power of automation to the entire IT organization. With the launch of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, organizations can do just that.

Topics include:
- Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform - Engine, Tower, Networking, and more, all in one.
- A walk through the new Automation Analytics which gives enterprises the ability to view information about automation health, usage and performance across your enterprise.
- An explanation of Ansible Content Collections - the new method of building and consuming Ansible content and why this is important to you.
- A walk through of the new Automation Content Hub which is the place to discover, publish and manage your Ansible Collections

Introducing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

Microservice architectures depend on the granularity, responsiveness, and elasticity of components. The communication between components is integral to the success of systems.

Istio is a service mesh for microservices that provides additional features for managing and understanding your microservice architecture. Join us in this presentation about Istio to learn how. Attendees will learn how to expose application and platform metrics with Istio.

During this session you will learn:
- How Istio Service Mesh fits into the context of microservices
- How to use Istio to expose platform and application level metrics
- What metrics to use when evaluating your microservice application performance

Istio Service Mesh: Understanding your microservices application

Modern Automation has exploded into the scene and often becomes a project in itself to choose where to start. 

In this session, we will discuss: 
-  The journeys of some of our customers
-  How specific inflection use cases like DR or IAC that are unique and advantageous to their organization goes on to be inspiration for wider adoption within their organization

The session is brought to you by Sean Sim, our Cloud Solutions Business Development Manager who has extensively worked with customers to get started in the region.

Automation Adoption for the Real World

Automation Adoption Journey guides customers through the culture, platform, and portfolio changes required to adopt and realize the benefit of enterprise-wide automation.

In this session, we'll discuss:
-  How to get a hands-on services engagement to iteratively deploy and manage a portfolio of workflows and orchestrations 
-  How to drive cultural change in evolutionary steps

The journey is aimed at helping customers develop self-sufficiency and ultimately realize the benefits of automation at scale across the enterprise.

The Impact of Ansible Automation Journey

We previously spoke about Ansible Collections, which is the a headline new feature in Ansible in 2.9, and how will have a large impact on the wider Ansible community. These updates will contribute to Ansible’s mission of enabling more innovation through automation. Our goal is to help you push the boundaries so you can automate to accelerate through integration and collaboration.

What Ansible Automation Means for Your Business?

The Red Hat Ansible Automation and Red Hat OpenShift teams have been collaborating to build a new way to package, deploy, and maintain Kubernetes native applications: Ansible Operator. Given the interest in moving workloads to Kubernetes, we are happy to introduce a new tool that can help ease the move toward cloud native infrastructure.

Kubernetes Operators Love Ansible

DevOps is often seen as a ‘silver bullet’ to magically transform how an organisation delivers software . However many attempt the journey without properly understanding the business impact of DevOps - and without doing so, greatly increases the likelihood of failed DevOps initiatives.

In this session we will discuss:
-  How to measure the outcomes of DevOps 
-  Understanding how Ansible plays a crucial role in improving your application delivery. 
-  How to build a business case to implement automation 
-  How to speed up application delivery by improving compliance processes - including the dreaded roadblock of the Change Control Board. 

With Ansible you can increase velocity AND stability to ensure your business maintains its competitive advantage in today’s digital first world.

Business Impact of DevOps & Automated Deployment

Automation Hub is new service available included as part of your Ansible Automation Platform subscription to discover and download supported Ansible Content Collections. These content collections contain ways to consume automation, and how-to guides to implement them in your infrastructure. This session includes demo.

Organizations are increasingly looking to adopt hybrid and multicloud architectures to give them the freedom to choose infrastructure based on market demands. To support these demands, businesses require the speed and agility that cloud computing models provide, along with a secure and controlled environment. 

During this webinar series, we will discuss:

-  The key considerations and strategies to successful hybrid and multicloud adoption
-  Implementing an integrated approach to application and infrastructure platforms
-  Security and compliance requirements

Key Considerations of Successful Hybrid and Multi Cloud Adoption

This session takes a humorous, yet informative look and why automation isn't just a passing fad, it's a necessity in today's enterprise. Covering both public and private sector, you will learn how automation in general and Ansible in particular can lead to not just job security, but also job satisfaction. 

This talk will include:
-  Discussions around automation in both the public and private sector
-  Discussions of real use cases with measurable results 
-  Examples of real use cases
