AI has become an integral part of modern applications, enabling personalized experiences, predictive analytics, automation, and more. Deploying AI-enabled models requires addressing several key issues and a strategy for deployment on a purpose-built platform.  Assessing your data’s quality, volume, and relevance and choosing the right model to balance accuracy with performance is critical.  But deployment isn't just about the model—it's also about the infrastructure. Organizations must consider the compute resources, storage, and networking requirements as well as legal and ethical standards, to ensure scalability, security, flexibility and ease of use.

Red Hat helps to automate the entire AI lifecycle from model development to deployment and monitoring, leading to more reliable AI applications and quicker iteration cycles. This enables organizations to build, deliver, and manage their own AI-enabled applications and services across any cloud, on-premise, or edge environment

The power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Today, most public sector organizations have built their operations using legacy applications. In many cases, these applications are still critical, but not nearly as performant or cost-effective as they once were. As such, agency leaders are looking for ways to become faster and more agile so that they can continue to enable innovation, control costs, and provide new ways to consume information. 

How can agencies take advantage of the assets they have already developed over the years, and simultaneously take advantage of new open technologies? During this webcast, join public sector decision-makers to examine the importance of application modernization, discuss trends and best practices for a more unified modernization strategy to support a newly distributed workforce.

Updating Legacy Applications in the Cloud

Companies everywhere are implementing DevOps practices to bring fast innovation of software to market. Frequent pushes of small, microservice updates are in high demand. Federal agencies want in on the action too, and they bring their own sets of challenges.


When working within air gapped environments, security is of the utmost importance, so how do you make it work? Open source solutions don’t always seem like the first choice to turn to. Many of them demand constant Internet access for updates. With the right strategy in place, open source solution can often not only be an option, but the best option. In this session, Jay Hancock, DevOps Manager at Parsons Corporation, will discuss how he and his team have addressed some of the challenging requirements of the defense and intelligence
 community. He will provide a detailed viewpoint into using open source technologies like kubernetes, containers, and more.

App Modernization with Red Hat Cloud Services

One of the strengths of cloud computing is that you don't have to think about common infrastructure issues like your operating system. But as your cloud environment grows, your infrastructure will become harder to manage, harder to maintain, and harder to evolve unless you start thinking about your infrastructure foundation—the operating system. Your choice in which Linux distro to use has implications beyond your immediate workloads and being able to incorporate "old-school" datacenter lessons into your cloud strategy is critical.

In this session, we'll cover:

How organizations are really adopting cloud computing.
Challenges with hybrid cloud environments.
Considerations for your operating system in cloud environments.
Best practices for both infrastructure and cloud strategy.
