But cloud environments also bring operational challenges. IT automation can help you maximize the value of your cloud investments to support digital initiatives and innovation.

During this session, you will learn how to efficiently automate your public cloud environments with Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform. This webinar will focus on how Ansible Automation Platform can accelerate your cloud initiatives. 

During this webinar, you’ll learn:
- The benefits of automating your public cloud environments and top use cases.
- How to use Ansible Automation Platform to automate Day 2 cloud operations tasks. 
- How to automate public cloud environments with Ansible and Terraform.
- How to deploy Ansible Automation Platform on Microsoft Azure and AWS.

Get started and learn the benefits of automating public cloud environments with Ansible Automation Platform

Last year, VMware was acquired by Broadcom for $69B – completing one of the biggest acquisitions in the history of the industry. At the same time, this change has created uncertainty for many organizations. And as the virtualization landscapes evolve, IT leaders face the crucial task of modernizing their virtual machine (VM) management strategies.

In this webcast, you’ll gain expert insights into how Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, integrated with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, can enable robust, scalable, and efficient automation for critical VM operations. By watching, you will learn how to implement automation that ensures high availability, enhances security, and streamlines compliance for your most important virtualized workloads.

Tune in now to find out how you can create a resilient, agile VM management platform that meets the demanding requirements of modern enterprises.

Enterprise virtualization: How to modernize your environment with automation

Ansible® content is the essential fuel for all successful automation. At Red Hat, we often see IT teams fall short of extracting full value from their automation due to lack of access to familiar development tools or experience writing Ansible code. Even expert-level content creators and automation developers can struggle to improve their productivity while keeping up with tedious code maintenance. 

Join this webinar to learn about how to use the integrated automation content development capabilities within Ansible to help you level-up your skills. We'll show you how features, such as Ansible Lightspeed, Ansible Content Collections, and automation development tools can help you create reliable, trusted code in less time while jump-starting your automation development productivity.

Accelerate your automation with AI and Ansible development tools

Two key concerns for most IT leaders are security and risk management. When considering the best automation solution for your team, thinking through the most effective and efficient ways to ensure security is key to having a successful automation strategy. This is where Red Hat® Ansible® Certified Content Collections, available only with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, come in. 
Join Ansible experts Emily Bock and Jamie Beck as they walk you through how Red Hat platforms are tested and hardened for security, along with the benefits of a Red Hat subscription.

Ansible automation: The security-focused way to automate

According to TechTarget's 2024 Technology Spending Intentions Study, the following areas have become significantly more important to organisations over the past 2 years:

1. Generative AI - 27% of respondents
2. Business and/or IT automation - 32% of respondents

Clearly, there is high interest to invest in AI. However, the journey to enterprise AI is full of challenges and potential pitfalls, and there is a more fundamental consideration in order to ensure greater ease and security for AI - IT Automation. 

On top of that, many questions remain:
-Which use cases make sense? Should we start small and only think about scaling across the enterprise later?
-What about Shadow AI? Shouldn’t the use of AI be “democratised” to ensure greater adoption?
-What are the human and platform capabilities that need to be established in order to eventually build enterprise AI at scale and help AI live up to its promises?

Join us in this IDC webinar sponsored by Red Hat as we answer those questions and discuss how we can make the most of AI while minimising risk.
