Hear from Simon Cashmore, Head of Paas Middleware Engineering Barclays and Anthony Kesterton, Sr. Solution Architect, Red Hat in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Do your developers have to talk to many different groups just to get a simple environment set up? Is your DevOps really just Dev?
Barclays have built a platform based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform that really does enable their developers to go from dev to production in a day, complying with all their control processes. Developers are even happy to hand back infrastructure as they know they can re-acquire environments when needed.

Come and listen to how Barclays overcame cultural and process challenges that are part and parcel of a highly regulated banking environment. They used innovative enablement programmes, with extreme focus on their internal customers, to achieve high customer adoption and satisfaction rates. This is a very successful journey to DevSecOps and this session will explain how they achieved this.

Hear from John Clingan, Sr. Principal Product Manager, Red Hat in this breakout session from Red Hat Summit 2017.

Enterprises are transitioning from on-premise, monolithic applications to highly dynamic, polyglot environments using microservices and cloud computing. In this session, we’ll discuss Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes, an application platform that runs legacy applications alongside greenfield polyglot microservices on Red Hat OpenShift, helping enterprises embrace microservices and cloud computing at their own pace. You'll learn the tradeoffs of microservices and monolithic architectures, as well as the costs and benefits of deconstructing a monolithic architecture. You'll also learn how legacy applications and greenfield applications written in Eclipse Vert.x, Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and MicroProfile, and Spring Boot can take advantage of a common set of cloud platform services for application interoperability, security, and manageability. With this knowledge, you can build a cloud roadmap that is optimized for your enterprise.

Sayan Saha, Sr. Manager, Project Management Red Hat and Michael Adam, Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat share in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Learn how running a storage platform in kubernetes pods is a game changer not just for storage administrators but for application developers as well. This ground breaking technology runs containerized Gluster (a mature distributed open source storage platform) inside Kubernetes and on Red Hat’s OpenShift Container Platform as a completely integrated solution aggregating storage from local hosts (Kubernetes worker nodes) and serving it out to application containers. This solution integrates a fully featured enterprise grade storage platform with a wide variety of data services including snapshots, geo-replication, tiering, cloning, encryption; runs storage and compute containers on the same set of nodes, all provisioned using Kubernetes/OpenShift. The session will feature a demo and a detailed roadmap for this solution.

Steven Pousty, Lead Developer Evangelist OpenShift Online, Red Hat and Michael McCune, Sr. Software Engineer, Red Hat present in this Red Hat Summit 2017 breakout session.

Data crunching and web serving have existed very separate worlds. Access by a web application to analysis required a long process of Extract, Transform, Load (ETL), database work, and imports and exports, as well as getting network and storage assistance. The rise of containers, orchestration, more cost-effective computing and networking has resulted in a convergence, creating the possibility of using the same hardware and, more importantly, clustering software to converge both types of workloads. In this session, we’ll discuss a high level vision of this approach with containers, Kubernetes, web servers, and Apache Spark. We’ll show a demo of how this convergence helps data analysis move from custom R or Python scripts on an analyst’s desktop to an accessible web app, while letting the analyst simultaneously constrain the analysis to prevent statistical overreach.

Ryan Hennessy, Sr. Solution Architect, Red Hat and Guna Vijayaratnam, Solutions Architect, Red Hat speak in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

The Red Hat team had the opportunity to work with a lot of customers, this one, in particular, was struggling with their application deployment process. Their current processes were fragile and didn’t meet the business needs to be more flexible, automated, and cloud-centric. The customer IT department realized if they didn’t address these problems soon there was a high risk that individual business units were going to start looking to other partners for serving their IT needs. In this session, we will cover in depth the following areas:

Main hosting focus areas and business drivers that lead to the adoption of OpenShift

Application delivery methodologies that were modernized using

OpenShift How OpenShift was able to directly solve the challenges and focus areas set out by IT leadership.

Hear from Jamie Duncan, Cloud Architect, Red Hat in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Red Hat OpenShift is an amazing, award-winning tool for application developers. It is also a great tool for Operations teams to manage due to its built-in power, flexibility, and scalability. But how can Operations teams make the jump from managing OpenShift to running their own workloads effectively on it. In this session, we will cover the OpenShift features that are most important to an Operations team when moving workloads to the platform. We will go through security best practices and have live examples to discuss.

Hear from Clement Escoffier, Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Eclipse Vert.x is a toolkit to create reactive distributed and polyglot applications on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It takes the JVM to new levels of performance, yet has a small API. It lets you build scalable, microservice-based applications transparently distributed and packaged as a single jar file. This simplicity makes deploying and managing Vert.x applications on OpenShift a breeze. Upload your jar and Vert.x connects all your pods and services. That's not all, the application you're developing with Vert.x is "reactive": It's responsive, elastic, resilient, uses asynchronous message-passing saving resources, and handles a huge level of concurrency. How does that work on OpenShift?

In this session, you'll see how the combination of Vert.x and OpenShift paves a new way to build and manage reactive systems. You'll see several examples and a demonstration of how Vert.x simplifies not only development, but thanks to OpenShift, the deployment and management of your distributed system. Everything you need will be covered in this session: service discovery, resilience pattern, rolling updates, monitoring, and metrics. This is a "slide-less" session consisting of pure, live coding.

Nicolas Motte, Operational Architect, Amadeus, Gabriel Bechara, Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat, and Anil Kumar, Principal Product Manager, Couchbase, speak in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Cost efficiency and automation are at the heart of the IT industry. As data persistence is a critical part of most IT services, Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) has become a desirable way to simplify and standardize database systems for easier management and rapid service provisioning. Red Hat OpenShift can solve this problem as an abstraction layer for deploying massive databases in multiple datacenters, potentially owned by different cloud providers and using different Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solutions. A project team of Amadeus, Couchbase and Red Hat staff have deployed a Couchbase cluster in OpenShift using PetSets for the first time. In this session, you’ll learn:

How to deploy a Couchbase cluster in OpenShift with a PetSet.

How we solved the main technical challenges.

Details about the performance of Couchbase running in OpenShift.

How Amadeus plans to use OpenShift to industrialize its main datastores.

Hear from Rafael Benevides, Director of Developer Experience at Red Hat in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

The "deploy moment" is an occasion that still causes many developers to shiver. But it shouldn't be this way, at least not every time. Deployment failures, customer downtime, hundreds of calls to customer service—we've all been there. Luckily, today we have the tools and processes to turn the deploy moment into just another ordinary activity. In this session, we'll show you how to evolve your deployment process from the very basic zero downtime with some very interesting additional strategies such as blue/green, A/B, and canary deployments. You'll learn how to not only deploy your software faster, with a vastly better uptime, but how to use container technologies like OpenShift to get business feedback—and recover some well-deserved sleep time.

Davide Gandino, OTT and Cloud Processing & Delivery Manager, Sky Television, Samuele Dell'Angelo, Solution Architect, Red Hat, and Frederico Nebiolo, Architect, Red Hat share inightss in this breakout session at Red Hat Summit 2017.

Sky Italia, established on July 31st, 2003, has a 4.8-million-subscriber base. It is part of Sky plc, Europe’s leading entertainment company with 22 million customers across five countries: Italy, Germany, Austria, the UK and Ireland. Sky operates on different broadcasting platforms with different business models. The channels of the pay platform are available via satellite and IPTV. Thanks to NOW TV, a wide selection of the platform’s content is available in streaming on one’s home TV, in addition to the main Internet-connected devices, by simply connecting the NOW TV tv Box to the Internet. Sky is also on the FTA DTT with three channels: TV8, Cielo, SkyTG24. Sky Italia is strongly expanding his offer in the online streaming and on-demand offer where there are already more than 2 million connected customers that can use the on demand service with their DTH Set Top Boxes. In regards to On-demand, contents coming from broadcasting signal have to be transcoded for different devices: high performance, parallelism and high availability are the main challenges. In such scenario, Sky Italia used Openshift Container Platform, which revealed itself as a perfect fit for this project, satisfying all the mentioned requirements as well as adding up further values: environment isolation, rapid prototyping and testing, controlled rolling updates and parametrization. This talk will describe the final architecture that was laid out, and describe in detail some of the decisions taken and why those decisions were took. These include the deployment of Publish/Subscribe application, an hybrid cloud deployment model who take advantages of the latest available features in the platform, the creation of customized metrics, monitoring solution and some more. Also, this story shows how Gluster was used as base storage of persistent volumes in OpenShift, showing how converged systems bring additional value and demonstrating the integration of different technology stacks. Attendees will learn about: Video Encoding use case delivered on top of Openshift. How the architecture was designed and built using Openshift and Gluster. Main challenges faced during the project and how we addressed them. Future plans for hybrid model with Public Cloud elastic scalability.

Zohaib Hhan, Practice Lead, Application Modernization & Migration, Red Hat and Malik Sayed, Sr. Manager, Digital Architecture, Verizon speak in this breakout session at the Red Hat Summit 2017.

Enterprises generally have a significant portfolio of legacy applications running in production. Applications that have been developed 10, 15 years ago, or more. These applications stand in the critical path of revenue generation. It's not easy to just rip them out and replace them all with applications built on modern architectures, such as microservices and containers. Businesses can't afford downtime and certainly aren't willing to pay for something they can't see. We need the ability to modernize legacy applications while allowing IT to continue to deliver value—innovating from inside out. Verizon evaluated Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to modernize their application portfolio. In this session, we'll present Verizon’s journey to containerize one of their most challenging applications. We'll show the results of a 2-month long proof-of-concept, including successes, misses, and a roadmap for application modernization. You'll learn about the journey, the pitfalls, and the lessons learned of modernizing complete application portfolios.
