Red Hat OpenShift / Red Hat Summit 2018 | OpenShift

Container-based application development platforms and DevOps initiatives are transforming the way enterprises build and deploy software. The latest versions of OpenShift includes Jenkins®, enabling development teams to build, test and deploy their applications in a fully automated manner.

Some of the challenges facing OpenShift users are that they don’t have access to Jenkins expertise, can’t enforce company guidelines, lack fine grained access controls or guarantee plugin compatibility. The answer to these challenges is CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise running natively on OpenShift. Join our session and learn everything CloudBees & Red Hat including solution features, benefits, and more.

In this talk from the OpenShift partner theater at Red Hat Summit 2018, Fred Hsu from Arista discusses how to connect OpenShift clusters using Arista vEOS and Ansible playbooks. Thanks to the programmable nature of EOS and the automation provided by Ansible, pods in an OpenShift cluster can reach services in a remote cluster, without NAT. By retaining the original IP address of the requesting pod, services are aware of exactly what pods are making the requests, improving security and simplifying application deployment. The clusters can be on-prem, public cloud, or hybrid and are connected with GRE or IPSec tunnels.

Everyone knows how microservices and containers are revolutionizing the way we deploy applications and maintain our infrastructure. But as many teams are starting to find out, containers have a key problem: monitoring and securing them with traditional tools can be impractical, painful, and sometimes plain impossible.

The Sysdig container intelligence platform provides a unified platform to deliver monitoring, security, and troubleshooting in a microservices-friendly architecture. In this session we will demo how Sysdig helps to:
- Monitor and alerting on Kubernetes infrastructure, services and applications
- Unified interface to troubleshoot issues inside containers with full system visibility
- Implement microservices based security policies looking at run-time behavior
- Enable post-mortem analysis and forensics on containers after they are long gone

Containerized applications running in OpenShift need controls to access resources just like human users. Best-practices such as zero trust, least privilege, authentication, authorization, segregation of duties, and audit must apply equally to containerized applications as they do for humans. This session explores how developers can build secure, trusted containerized applications, without the overhead of managing secrets by leveraging the integration between CyberArk Conjur and OpenShift.

Using containers or starting to use them for your applications? Facing challenges in designing and deploying scalable and reliable solutions? Have a mix of legacy and cloud native applications? Come attend the session to learn how Cisco and Red Hat have partnered to offer validated solutions by leveraging best of breed technologies. Learn about joint solutions using Cisco UCS, Cisco ACI and Red Hat OpenShift.

Organizations commonly struggle when designing container applications that use SQL databases. Traditional database management systems aren't built for distributed architectures. However, with a container-native approach such as NuoDB's, it becomes straightforward to deploy an elastically scalable, highly available, SQL database in Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. Join us to learn how!

NetApp’s project Trident, an open source storage provisioner for OpenShift, enables containerized applications to request, receive and consume storage on-demand according to pre-established policies, including the ability to create clones and resize PVs as needed. This session explores how Trident orchestrates the provisioning of storage across configured storage providers to meet the needs of the application. We will also explore how Trident interfaces with OpenShift, how storage provisioning related decisions are made by Trident, and how to get the most out of Trident’s storage attributes for your applications. If you’re curious about how to leverage your NetApp storage to maximize the capabilities of your OpenShift users, this session is for you!

The rapid adoption of microservices architectures and cloud-native applications is driving networking and operations teams to evaluate networking tools needed to support them. A full spectrum of application services from service discovery, autoscaling, and security; to visibility, and performance monitoring are necessary to support production-grade microservices and container-based applications on the OpenShift Platform. Load balancers built on legacy appliance-based architectures are inflexible unable to mirror the needs of modern applications. In this session, product experts from Avi Networks – an OpenShift Partner, will discuss and demonstrate how Avi’s Elastic Service Mesh delivers these services at scale for the OpenShift Platform.

In this talk from the OpenShift partner theater at Red Hat Summit 2018, learn how Aqua for Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform works as a layer of security that provides image assurance, runtime controls, and protection against attacks. Learn how Aqua is natively deployed in an OpenShift environment by deploying pods, services, and Daemonsets and protects container workloads against attacks and insider misuse. You’ll also learn how the solution ensures visibility and compliance for OpenShift containerized applications.

Learn how to quickly set up a robust monitoring solution for OpenShift using InfluxData. We'll touch on best practices for gathering and storing time series metrics with Telegraf and InfluxDB, visualizing that data using Chronograf, and alerting your team when problems occur using Kapacitor.

How often do you release new versions of your microservices deployed in OpenShift? At Dynatrace, 600+ developers release new features and functionality on a bi-weekly basis. This allows us to match the speed of the cloud and quickly react to this fast-changing technology landscape.

How cool would it be to get this fresh doze of monitoring automatically deployed to your OpenShift clusters?

In this talk, we are going to explore how you can operate your monitoring solution with zero manual effort in large-scale environments. Join this session if you want to learn about best practices for monitoring OpenShift with Dynatrace.

With the transformation towards cloud native platforms such as OpenShift, we are seeing a paradigm shift on how self-sufficient teams develop and deploy applications. Microservice teams leverage built-in platform features to run, scale, rollback and upgrade their app deployments. Monitoring helps them to understand if their apps are performing properly and interacting correctly with other apps in production. But how do they know if poor cluster performance impact application health, and how the overall performance of all apps deployed to a cluster looks? In this talk, we are going to explore how monitoring can be made a platform feature that helps application teams to monitor and maintain application and cluster health. We explain how noisy neighbors may slow down your application’s response time without requiring you to build monitoring into your application images.

To run on Kubernetes your apps are packaged in Docker containers. How do you answer questions about the containers you're deploying to Kubernetes? Those containers necessarily contain lots of other packages created by many different teams within and outside your organization. You need to know what is in them, if they are of the quality you demand, and if they are secure. You can do this while giving your developers the data they need to go fast with confidence. How? The Kubernetes Registry running on OpenShift.

We're excited to announce the availability of the OpenShift NGINX Router. The Router is a key part of the OpenShift platform that provides routing and load balancing of the Ingress traffic for your applications. The NGINX Router fully supports the Route resource and brings high performance, stability and its advance features for delivering your web applications. In this session we will show you how to get started with the NGINX Router.

Many functions in Kubernetes are implemented using controllers that watch the events on the API objects and take appropriate actions as a result. This talk explores the use of external controllers for storage orchestration, particularly for capabilities that are experimental, vendor-specific, or not yet supported by the existing Volume Plugin API. As a case study, this talk presents Trident (https://github.com/netapp/trident) and demonstrates how it has enabled dynamic storage provisioning for heterogeneous backends and cloning persistent volume before Kubernetes could support such capabilities. The talk will include some of the lessons learned from deploying Trident in production.

In this talk at the OpenShift partner theater from Red Hat Summit 2018, Harold Wong and Jim Zimmerman from Microsoft walk through the newly announced OpenShift on Azure service.

Jon Deeming, VP at Experian, presents how automation can ensure that security policy is consistently deployed into production OpenShift container environments. He shares some of the lessons learned in Experian’s move to containers. The dynamic nature of containers requires thinking through all the attack vectors in a new environment and creates the need for behavior-based security technology. This new technology needs to work with the system primitives, labels, resources and other metadata to maintain the desired security posture. At the same time, it’s critical to dive deeply into the Kubernetes architecture to understand how to properly deploy resilient services. Understanding the network and system behavior of pods and containers will enable DevOps and security teams to detect suspicious behaviors. This session provides a framework for evaluating container security and advice for securing business critical services and protecting sensitive data.

Container-native storage (CNS) provides agnostic, persistent storage for OpenShift on private or public clouds. What storage solution are you currently using for your OpenShift? How much effort does it take to provide persistence for your workloads? Can you easily create or delete storage? Is the storage highly available?

Jenkins is an example of an application that can take advantage of OpenShift technology to automate workload delivery. CNS and Jenkins can be integrated to transparently create or delete persistent storage for OpenShift workloads with the click of a button.

In this session you'll learn how the LA County Internal Services Department (ISD) uses OpenShift, Jenkins, and CNS to deliver eWeb services to their county departments. We'll discuss how CNS integration with Jenkins has significantly reduced time for storage allocation and now makes self-provisioning a possibility for their customers.

Running modern cloud-based applications requires a level of agility that is not found in traditional on-premise datacenters. This presentation describes how the federal government is using Red Hat OpenShift to deliver modern cloud- and service-based applications with the levels of security and trust provided by an on-premise datacenter.

Traditional on-premise datacenters are the solution of choice for applications that require high levels of security and a predictable cost model. Unfortunately, these benefits come with many barriers to continuous improvement, rapid scalability, and service-oriented architectures.

With the frequency of deployment quickly becoming the "Net Promoter Score" of DevOps, rapid deployment and agility are now key to success. For any DevOps CI/CD strategy to be successful, the supporting infrastructure also needs to follow a continuous deployment strategy as well. Red Hat OpenShift provides an effective platform for delivering modern agility within enterprise datacenters.
