Scaling the Portfolio Wall
Guest Speaker: Christen McLemore (Red Hat)
OpenShift Commons Briefing

abstract: Alignment is something we frequently discuss but often frustratingly fail to truly achieve. Let's breakdown the planning steps that are truly critical for creating alignment across the company and the teams and how the Portfolio is a financial anchor that can steady or sink your business. We will review key concepts, take real scenarios from you and do breakout sessions to build a plan that you can take back to work immediately.

There's No Such Thing as Vanilla Kubernetes
Guest Speaker: Aaron Aldrich (Red Hat)
2021-03-26 OpenShift Commons Briefing
https://commons.openshift.org/events.html for upcoming briefings
#TransformationFriday
#DevOps

Abstract:
There’s no such thing as vanilla Kubernetes in the same vein that there is no vanilla Linux; even if you start from source, you must custom build everything around it to make it production ready. By looking at the past and the present, this talk will explore what it takes to build and operate Kubernetes in production, what alternatives you can buy, and extrapolates on industry trends towards “utility” services to explore what the future of Kubernetes might look like.

Aaron Aldrich is a Managed OpenShift Black Belt at Red Hat, creator and host of Tabletop DevOps streaming monthly on twitch.tv/desertedislandtv, and an organizer for DevOpsDays Hartford, NYC and Boston. Passionate about Resilience Engineering and Mental Health in the tech industry, he believes that every technology problem is ultimately, when you get right down to it, a people challenge.

Flow Architectures: The Future of Streaming and Event-Driven Integration

Abstract: Software development today is embracing events and streaming data, which optimizes not only how technology interacts but also how businesses integrate with one another to meet customer needs. This phenomenon, called flow, consists of patterns and standards that determine which activity and related data is communicated between parties over the internet.

In this briefing VMWare’s James Urquhart, global field CTO, author of the recently published O’Reilly book,”Flow Architectures: The Future of Streaming and Event-Driven Integration” will discuss the process and explore critical implications of that evolution: What happens when events and data streams help you discover new activity sources to enhance existing businesses or drive new markets? What technologies and architectural patterns can position your company for opportunities enabled by flow?

Deterministic vs Probabilistic Security: Leveraging Everything as Code

Abstract:
We’re all bakers. For some, it’s a celebration cake in the final of the Great British Bake Off and for others and a layering of complex technology flavours and ingredients. We all have recipes. Be it a graham cracker or a public cloud biscuit base, we build in layers. As we move to cloud native, we find ourselves layering in declarative models with the idealism of “”everything as code””. Through this, we can create repeatable results through a breadth of languages which represent our desired state and through cloud native technologies like Kubernetes we can enforce that state. Only 5 years ago code was for applications. Code that relied on our imperative or human controlled provisioning of hosting technologies. Security focused on honing detection and response skills to determine what wrong looked like. This approach to security was probabilistic where cloud native can help us be more deterministic to enforce what is right.

Shifting left isn’t just for developers anymore.

In this OpenShift Commons Briefing, StackRox’s Steve Giguere discusses Deterministic vs Probabilistic Security and and shares his experiences from the field.

Enterprise DevOps: From Silos to Services

Guest Speaker: Jeff Sussna (Sussna Associates)
Hosted by Diane Mueller (Red Hat)

OpenShift Commons Briefing

https://commons.openshift.org/events.html
#TransformationFriday

DevOps tells us we should break down silos between departments. Putting that admonishment into practice remains somewhat of a mystery. In large organizations it’s not feasible to make everyone part of a single team. It’s also not feasible to embed every kind of expertise into each team.

The solution lies in transforming silos instead of trying to get rid of them. In this briefing, Jeff Sussna (Sussna Associatates) explains the problem with naive DevOps, and presents a more sophisticated approach based on helping each other serve customer needs. Jeff Sussna gives examples from modern as well as legacy software systems.

OpenShift Commons Briefing #TransformationFriday
Guest Speaker: Gregory Vigneaux (Adapt Institute)
Host(s): Diane Mueller and Jabe Bloom (Red Hat)

Link to slides: https://bit.ly/3r9We95

Gregory Vigneaux (Adapt Institute) discusses organizational identity and the processes that continually reproduce it as two key frames for understanding and evaluating risk. The vulnerability of identity and its reproduction are then explored while offering insights into resilience and adaptive capacity. After the talk, we’ll have a conversation led by Jabe Bloom and Diane Mueller (Red Hat) and take questions from the audience.

Our Guest, Gregory Vigneaux (Adapt Institute) is a consultant focused on incidents, turbulence, and risk. His work is founded on practical experience fighting forest fires around the country with U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service Hotshot Crews, a master’s degree in emergency management, and a continued fascination with how we operate in dynamic environments. He has worked for FEMA, consulted for Save the Children, developed a systems course for the Naval Post Graduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security, and co-founded the Adapt Institute (https://bit.ly/34yzZjE) .

A Pragmatist's Guide to Wardley Mapping
Ben Mosior (Hired Thought)
July 24, 2020
OpenShift Commons Briefing
hosted by Diane Mueller (Red Hat)

In this briefing, Ben Moisor (Hired Thought) gives introduction of using Wardley Mapping to meet the specific challenges facing organizations.

A Wardley Map is a representation of the landscape in which a business (or anything, really) operates. It consists of a value chain (activities needed to fulfill user needs) graphed against evolution (a measure of how individual activities change over time under supply and demand competition). A map represents the shared assumptions being made about a context and hints at what strategic options are available. By developing a common language to describe a context, mapping improves communication, helps us more clearly express our intent, and invites the challenge necessary to make things better.

Continuous Improvement for Senior Leadership
Kevin Behr (Red Hat)
OpenShift Commons Briefing
6/19/2020

Executives have introduced continuous improvement in many different organizations. One common anti-pattern is that the execs do not use these techniques and certainly do not model them in front of their teams. In this session Kevin will introduce systematic continuous improvement for senior technology executives, directors and engineers. This approach can link the strategic with actionable steps that will reveal powerful new solutions, all while growing common skills, language and community.
