Keynote: OpenShift Everywhere: Red Hat's Hybrid Cloud Vision
Karena Angell (Red Hat)

This OpenShift Commons Gathering was held on July 6th, 2022 live in London, England
https://commons.openshift.org

A

Okay, the last time I was here was the last openshift commons in london. So what that was the start of the pandemic right, um I see some familiar faces, I'm glad to see everybody's joining again and to give you if you haven't been a part of openshift commons, to give you an idea of what openshift commons is.

A

This is openshift commons, all our partners, red hatters and end users all coming together to make the product even better, to discuss ideas, to discuss what's going on in the platform and get together to really collaborate in an open manner.

A

Now my name is karina. I am an openshift product manager, I'm on the product management team, and we have a couple others here today too, from the product management team. You'll hear from them later now, there's a qr code up there. If you want to scan it, if you're not part of commons scan it join us, we have slack. We have these gatherings. We also have briefings so so many different ways to get involved make sure you are involved.

A

Now we have such a packed agenda again. We have product management, we have lightning talks from our partners and stick around towards the end of the day. We have an ama session, so live q, a where you can so keep your questions in mind. Ask them at the end of the day, okay, I'm going to do a show of hands, we'll just get a little warm up here. I won't make you stand up it's still too early in the day everybody's.

A

You know getting your coffee getting caffeinated all right, so show of hands who's been involved in tech for at least five years.

A

I would hope so right uh what about 10 years?

A

I love it. 15 20 25 30..

A

I I'm embarrassed to say I am um thank you now. This is great 35 40.

A

All right now I started in tech when I was 14.. I was writing uh and editing manuals user guides for hierarchical storage management software. So those of you that have been in tech forever, yeah and so from there we've had such an evolution, but not only an evolution.

A

It's also an ebb and flow right. We see everything consolidate and then just go back to distributed.

A

And I've had the opportunity over the many many years to go into hundreds of customers, hundreds of enterprises and look at their architectures set them up.

A

Some of the systems are still around like 20 years later, um but walking in and you see you know a wall of two terabyte hard drives right. They're still around go in and set up, mainframes they're still around right.

A

um So one thing that I like to say is that through all my years in university, all the courses- all the engineering, all the computer science, all the languages, the one course that ever really stuck with me through everything.

A

Was a course on franz kafka? So if you've read kafka, you know how illogical and how bizarre and kind of it comes together makes sense.

A

His books are very much about complex, illogical systems trying to wade through the bureaucracy and trying to move forward, and he never could right and sometimes I feel like that's how we are in tech, so through every enterprise, and we keep seeing all this chaos and we try to wade through it right.

A

So I feel like it's very kafka-esque.

A

Which brings us to the reality of systems the reality of devops I.t operations, applications right. The reality is it's very diverse. It can be very chaotic and.

A

See this is where I just like, feel the kafka-esque nature of it all right.

A

So as we're trying to, as we think about each different platform that comes in each different application that comes in the reality is, is that it's hard to get rid of the old ones? It's hard to move to the new ones, the new cloud native technologies? Unless it's a green field right, sometimes it's easier just standing up something new, but the reality is that we have so many different technologies different uh run times, different workloads right.

A

So that brings us to our red hat. Oh, if you saw the notes you'd, be you see how I'm looking at this, but jumping ahead. So that brings us to the challenge of hybrid cloud. So what we're talking about is red, hat's vision for hybrid cloud, and so the challenge is: is that as we come as we see all these disparate platforms, all these different applications, it turns out that most companies are actually hybrid. Most companies are hybrid by accident.

A

So, with all these disjointed pieces in the environment,.

A

Red hat's vision is to help enterprises. I will say it because I feel like this is powerful, evolve in a digital world and provide them with an open and flexible architecture and technology to accelerate this vision. This transition.

A

Now, as you're architecting for a hybrid cloud, we ask ourselves these three questions. So can your software applications help you win against big and small threats that upend your industry?

A

Now after lunch, you'll hear from the uk francesco from the uk health security agency and talk more about how the pandemic, perhaps I haven't seen us talk, but I know the pandemic upended their industry so stick around for after lunch, can your applications and infrastructure become a source of lasting competitive advantage, and then can your people process using culture adapt to use the technology in the long term, so you're going to also hear from deutsche bank right and how they keep looking at their technology and finding different ways and looking at their processes constantly iterating.

A

And so to meet this vision, the goal is to be able to deliver consistency, flexibility and scalability. So between your traditional applications, your cloud native and then newer workloads. I mentioned that it's hard to get rid of the old, and sometimes it doesn't make sense to refactor, even though we want to so. We need to provide ways to enable you to move old technology into your new technology in a way that makes sense, and we need to make sure that this is consistent across your platforms right and we talk about.

A

Start jumping right in so we talk about hybrid cloud and for everybody, hybrid cloud means something else, but if you take a hybrid cloud you can have a private cloud.

A

That's attached to bare metal right, you can use multiple clouds and what we're looking at is providing consistency across every layer out to the edge on prem and one of the building blocks to do this is kubernetes.

A

So I'm sure I mean we've all been in tech for a while. We all know what kubernetes is hopefully, but it's the basis that doesn't mean it's easy, and that doesn't mean that it has every feature that we want, and so we also look at.

A

I know right so if we start with kubernetes and then we look at the extensive landscape to provide um like every workload, you can imagine right. I wasn't going to stay so long in this slide. It's such an eye chart, but it's a good example, and so that's what we also do.

A

We start with kubernetes.

A

And then we as red hat, we build on it right. We look at the different projects, we're involved in the different projects and we're very prescriptive right. We moved to openshift four, which is based on core os right, got more prescriptive and we also are incredibly involved in uh strimsy just to name a few. The operator framework helm mentioned the operator framework because martin hickey will be here talking about operatives later and he's also a helm contributor. So our maintainer, I should say you know rook cni.

A

We have I'm argo, we're involved across the board and we make decisions on what's going to work for the platform and what's going to work for our end users. But, more importantly, we take information from you.

A

We talk to you and we listen and we build it into the platform such as cooper. We heard that, as I mentioned earlier, not every application should be refactored.

A

Sometimes you want to bring an application into your development environment and it can run in a vm alongside your cloud native application, say, while you're moving to microservices, if it's temporary, we also.

A

See what else could be interesting? The metal? Three? That's a great project, cryo.

A

Haven't really mentioned this anywhere else, but we are right now working on the application to graduate cryo from cncf, so another one of my responsibilities that I'm fortunate to have is to work with different projects at red hat and move them through the cncf process.

A

So cryo we are moving working on moving to graduation key cloak identity management, that's another one that we are also right now doing due diligence to move to incubation in cncf and donate it. We're also actively involved in k, native and um istio. Now both were just announced to be transferred to the cncf.

A

So we talk about the building blocks, but what those building blocks enable us to do is to provide you a way to.

A

Host your services, your applications, your workloads in an application environment and whether it's managed or as a cloud service, giving you options and flexibility. I think we've all learned over the last few years. We really need flexibility.

A

Now we give you the building blocks, we give you the platform. Now, how do you manage it? So again, flexibility options. We have advanced cluster manager. Now we also are allowing you to manage other kubernetes distributions with acm so again, flexibility.

A

Maybe one line of business is aks eks, maybe another one's open shift. Now we don't want to say, hey sorry, you can only manage your openshift clusters now we allow you to manage others right so consistent deployment, but also consistent management, and that's really important too, for your operations. Teams.

A

And talked earlier about the different workloads and the application portfolio so you'll hear later today about aiml use cases.

A

And you'll also hear about microshift.

A

So the ultimate goal is to enable greater speed and agility right. I mentioned flexibility as well as automation,.

A

And now, if you are in say a financial field or a telco or any enterprise, really you're going to worry about security and governance, so those are also key and we have a lot of work. We are doing a lot of work to make sure that you can meet your compliance, needs you'll, hear about some of that in the roadmap session.

A

I I love this slide, though oh nope, the next one, although I'll go back to this one, because I love it too all right again, I mentioned our partners again. We have the four lightning talks today, uh crunchy data we have couch base trulia's here.

A

You're gonna kill me if I'm forgetting, but we have our other partners. That portworx is here too and on dad.

A

All right so the for the fourth one, I'm sorry you're welcome to yell out your name and we'll. What's that portworx, I think I mentioned oh, you do have a lightning talk, awesome! Okay, so stick around for the portworx lightning talk as well.

A

Okay, this is the slide. I love.

A

Now we have our core platform and then we are making sure we enable you for the use cases that matter to you and we talk all the time with customers, one of our pms here, marcos he's talking next in the next presentation he looks at enabling openshift on clouds and different installations.

A

He'll tell you more.

A

Let me get through, so we can get to the roadmap session. Alright,.

A

So the forester wave they did a study on multi-cloud container development platforms. This came out in the end of 2020, but what was interesting is that they looked at red, hat's strategy, multi-cloud strategy and were up there in the top right corner as a leader in strategy.

A

So the analysts believe it's working. What's more important is, if you do again, we want to hear your feedback. Is there something that you would like us to do in the platform you'd like to be enabled?

A

How can we work with you to make that happen?.

A

And then we're constantly looking at customers and talking with customers across the globe and finding solutions that span broad number of use cases so you'll see a number of companies see deutsche bank up there that are using openshift for myriad of use cases.

A

So companies like hca they're, fighting sepsis in their hospitals and they use openshift to help reduce the number of preventable deaths from the condition sepsis. That's if you've heard hca talk about it or go. Look it up. It's pretty! It's powerful!

A

A

So openshift is built for operations, it's built for developers and it's built for the business leaders. I mentioned that each line of business sometimes is so different from the others. Each application group has different technologies than the others. So really we talk a lot about modernization. We talk a lot about digital transformation, but that's going to mean something else for each of your teams.

A

That's going to mean something else for each of you, and so we've worked hard to make sure that we give you the flexibility to be able to meet your needs for each group.

A
