Title: ODCN’s journey to connecting OpenShift clusters securely and transparently with Submariner

Speakers:
Martijn Straatman (ODC-Noord)
Stephen Kitt (Red Hat)

Abstract:
This talk will present a proof of concept built by ODC-Noord, from the perspective of the customer and of the engineers working at Red Hat.
We will discuss the proof of concept as well as the collaboration itself. Overheidsdatacenter Noord (ODCN) provides modern, sustainable and reliable IT infrastructure for the Dutch government, running Kubernetes containers since 2018 on Tectonic, then OpenShift, on an OpenStack-based cloud. ODCN hosts a growing number of workloads, on multiple clusters, and the next step is to improve reliability by connecting clusters in different datacenters. Submariner provides secure connectivity between Kubernetes clusters, with transparent and configurable access to pods and services in other clusters. ODCN and Red Hat worked together to establish whether Submariner could meet ODCN’s requirements. The proof of concept got ODCN up to speed quickly on this new technology, and helped Red Hat drive the project’s roadmap in a customer-centric manner.

Title:
Banking App Modernization via the IBM Cloud Pak for Automation on OpenShift Container Platform

Speakers:
Lance Preston (Bank of Oklahoma)
Faizal Khader (Red Hat)

Abstract:
BOK is an acronym for "Bank of Oklahoma". The company's banking subsidiary BOKF, NA operates in 8 states under the brands Bank of Oklahoma, Bank of Texas, Bank of Albuquerque, and BOK Financial (in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri). Bank of Oklahoma made a decision to modernize their IBM FileNet Content Management Suite in early 2020 by migrating to a container-based infrastructure. With the overall goal to improve development, delivery, and reliability for developers & operations on-premise & in the cloud for the bank. With this new environment based on Red Hat OpenShift 4x is able to scale its content management solution, reduce application delivery times while creating a scalable, vendor agnostic foundation for future cloud adoption.

Title:
Cost & Resource Management of Modern CI/CD infrastructure with OpenShift

Speakers:
Saulius Prasmantas (SIX Digital Exchange)
Radu Domnu (Red Hat)
Marcel Haerri (Red Hat)

Abstract:
Operating modern CI/CD infrastructure requires a balance between fast resource availability during peak development time and cost optimization during downtime. With scalability features such as the Machine API and cluster autoscaler, OpenShift 4 can provide on-demand elasticity for development teams by enabling self-provisioning build servers and deployment environments, while at the same time optimize cloud platform costs by automatically expiring deployed workloads and removing temporary resources. In this session experts from the SIX Digital Exchange (SDX) and Red Hat Services will share their expertise on how to optimize GitLab CI runners on Openshift. You will learn - how easily you can run elastic Gitlab CI runners on OpenShift - how cluster autoscaler can help to scale infrastructure up and down based on developer demand - how to cut infrastructure cost, by automatically down scaling expired development environments - how to address provisioning latency of VMs on cloud platforms

Title:
End to End OCP 4 clusters deployment automation in IT context at Amadeus

Speakers:

Thibaud Castaing (Amadeus)
Maria Emmanuelli (Red Hat)
Vincent Bronikowski (Red Hat)

Abstract:

Who doesn’t like listening to a success story full of challenges and wins? This story starts with a challenge, with the covid-19 pandemic. The project’s objective was to repurpose abandoned blades, by using OSP. It involves an innovative way to save resources and reduce the business impact of covid-19, using Red Hat Solutions. We’ll share the story of how Red Hat worked with Amadeus following Agile principles to deliver a disconnected install of OpenShift 4.6 with Calico on OpenStack. This process was automated End to End by combining several technologies into a tool following while adhering to Amadeus' need for synergy across platforms.This automation allows for the creation of clusters on demand in a repeatable way, serving as Cluster as a Service. Interested already? There’s more. Because a demo is worth a thousand words, we will show you the automation tool and share Amadeus’ testimony.

Title: Streamlining the OpenShift Developer Experience by Building an Enterprise Helm Chart Repository

Speakers:
Sachin Chavda (Discover Financial Services)
Austin Dewey (Red Hat)

Abstract:
Developers have busy schedules when it comes to meeting deadlines. Using OpenShift accelerates delivery, but it takes time out of a developer’s schedule to become proficient, which can put deadlines at risk. To avoid this risk, OpenShift admins within the enterprise must provide a streamlined developer experience. Admins can provide such an experience by building an enterprise Helm chart repository. This repository contains Helm charts that abstract the complexity of deploying applications to OpenShift. The Helm charts do the heavy lifting of configuring OpenShift resources, so all the developer has to do is install the Helm chart using a single command from the Helm CLI. By using Helm charts, the developer experience on OpenShift is streamlined and allows developers to stay focused on meeting their deadlines. In this session, participants will learn how to design and build an enterprise Helm chart repository that will help drive OpenShift adoption within their organization.

Title: Using Text Analytics and AI to reduce GDPR risk - Filippo Sassi (Version1)
Speaker: Filippo Sassi (Version1)
Abstract:
Want the power of text analytics but can't or won't use cloud-based services? No problem! In this talk, Filippo Sassi (Version1) will tell you how we leveraged the power of open source technology to mitigate GDPR risk, using best of breed open-source text analytics and AI services. Deployed on our customer's Openshift cluster, this solution now provides a broad text analytics capability which will be applied to many use cases beyond GDPR.
