Red Hat at IBM TechXchange 2023

Red Hat supports a cloud-first approach to cloud-native development as it relates to the multicloud and hybrid cloud challenges developers face today. This support includes how Red Hat removes friction and provides solutions that help application teams deliver value in less time and for less cost. In this keynote, we'll share: 1. The full life cycle of a developer from creating a new application, iterating it, and then supporting a security-focused software delivery pipeline. 2. Developer productivity with containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift. 3. Tools to meet developers where they are, including IDEs (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ, Hosted), CLIs, and WebUIs. 4. Hosted offerings that provide a frictionless experience for developers to experiment and iterate over their cloud-native applications.

Kubernetes is the go-to platform for scaling containers, but for developers, it can be daunting, particularly with the discrepancies between local and production environments. Podman and Podman Desktop bridges this gap. In our talk, we'll introduce Podman and unveil Podman Desktop, an open-source GUI tool that streamlines container workflows and is compatible with Podman, Docker, and more. It serves as a beginner-friendly launchpad to Kubernetes, enabling you to spin up local clusters or work with remote environments. Our demo will navigate the paths to transition from app to containers, to pods, and ultimately to Kubernetes, highlighting how it reduces discrepancies and enables predictability in your deployments by leveraging Podman and Podman Desktop's perks and security advantages. You’ll learn how you can benefit from Podman Desktop to streamline your container development processes!

Looking to learn Kubernetes, OpenShift, container-based applications, microservices, and more? In this session, we’ll be taking a look at the Developer Sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift, a no-cost hosted Red Hat OpenShift cluster for your cloud-native learning journey. This talk will cover containerizing an application with the Universal Base Image provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, working with containers using Podman, and deploying cloud-native applications on Kubernetes using the Developer Sandbox, all within your browser.

In the fast-paced digital era, rapid response to events is crucial to meet customer expectations and Service Level Agreements. While Kubernetes provides a wide array of applications for automated application delivery and GitOps implementation via tools like Tekton and ArgoCD, there are instances where it may not be the ideal solution. Here, Ansible comes into play as a leading IT automation tool. But Ansible's capabilities don't stop at non-Kubernetes environments. It also excels within Kubernetes by managing workloads and effectively responding to events such as failures and monitoring alerts. Join us as we delve into the power of Ansible and Event-Driven Ansible to manage applications efficiently, both in Kubernetes deployments and across various cloud or traditional infrastructures. Learn how to harness the potential of Ansible for seamless automation across your entire application ecosystem.

Join this session to delve into Kubernetes-Native Java and discover how over 16.5 million Java™ developers can optimize application performance for cloud-based workloads. Learn how to scaffold a Java project from scratch, support its evolution as a Kubernetes-native application, and efficiently test and debug it while deployed in remote Kubernetes environments. Say goodbye to compatibility issues and embrace the power of Kubernetes-Native Java for seamless application development and deployment experiences.
