Red Hat Ireland Day

For two decades, Red Hat Enterprise Linux has served as the backbone of enterprise IT, both in the datacenter and in the cloud. In this session, we'll discuss how Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 has evolved to keep pace with current trends in software delivery. We will also take a look at reference architectures for use cases across data center, hybrid cloud, and edge.

Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat

Do you remember your last 'transformation' project? Imagine you had to do an upgrade nearly 200,000 VMs now, fix overdue patching, remove underutilised VMs, increase low reproducibility and also decrease the amount of hand-offs per team. Sal and Adam will share their experiences where they had to address exactly this and succeeded, by combining their lessons learned and a cloud first strategy, you can avoid their pitfalls.

I'll be talking about how we Ansible can be used effectively to automate across teams, platforms and technologies to allow more people to deliver faster and more consistently.

Have you ever got the task to implement an exchange of data between two systems that were not designed to communicate with each other? We bet you have, and we dare to introduce a couple of tools and approaches making the task easier to accomplish. This talk will cover: Apache Camel, Quarkus dev mode and Knative First, we’ll speak about Apache Camel, the Swiss knife of integrating heterogeneous systems. It offers 300+ connectors out of the box, to transfer data to and from a wide variety of systems. The toolbox also brings options to route, filter and transform data based on the wildest requirements of a modern or legacy enterprise. Second, we will show what fun it is to write Camel integrations on top of Quarkus. You’ll learn about the famous Quarkus dev mode - the background compilation & live reload of the application while coding for faster dev cycles. Further, we’ll talk about dev services - an automatic provisioning of a required external service, such as Kafka broker or a database when testing or developing. Bonus: Quarkus applications start in milliseconds and consume just a few tens of megabytes of RAM. Third, we will explain how the outstanding integration capabilities of Apache Camel enrich serverless architectures based on Knative. We will touch topics like auto-scaling and scaling to zero, content based routing of cloud events, as well as streaming data between Apache Kafka and the 300+ kinds of systems supported by Apache Camel.

Senior Software Engineer

In this presentation we will introduce the main Quarkus features and dive into securing a Hibernate DB application with Keycloak OpenID Connect Provider using Quarkus devmode features such as continuous testing, live reload, and DevServices for DB and Keycloak, and making it work without having to read the OpenID Connect specification.

Kubernetes as a concept may sound simple, its implementation though its another story. DIY Kubernetes is a dangerous/painful sport that definitely is not tailored for every enterprise as the hassle is not aligned with the point where business value is produced. In this presentation I will speak about Kubernetes to Self Managed Openshift to Fully Managed Openshift , gradually showing the benefits that are gained and how this accelerates the path to the "sweet spot" which is the business value.

Earlier this year, Skillnet Ireland released an industry insight report titled “Open Source and InnerSource Skills in Ireland: A Call for Action”. In this session, one of the authors, Clare Dillon will give an overview of the global and local trends that led to the research and a summary of the findings. Come along to hear at the changing nature of open source consumption and development, as well as the economic opportunities that exist for Ireland in this rapidly changing landscape.

Executive Director of InnerSource Commons

While many organisations are now leveraging the power and flexibility of containers, for some workloads, most also still have traditional Linux servers or VMs providing mission critical functionality. With security a top priority for most IT administrators, keeping these systems fully updated and on supported versions is a key concern. In this hands-on session we will look at what's needed to upgrade to RHEL 8 or RHEL 9, and see how Red Hat Satellite Server can help to achieve this at scale. PLEASE NOTE: LAPTOPS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS SESSION

Azure Red Hat OpenShift is a fully managed Red Hat OpenShift service in Azure that is jointly engineered and supported by Microsoft and Red Hat. In this lab, you’ll go through a set of tasks that will help you understand some of the concepts of deploying and securing container based applications on top of Azure Red Hat OpenShift.

These days, sustainability is a key priority for every organisation. However, it is such a broad topic that it often helps to examine the topic from a number of different perspectives to identify all the opportunities we have to get us to a better future. In this talk, Clare will look at sustainability through the lens of open source. From reducing environmental impact of technology, to sustainable software development practices, to supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, open source has a huge part to play in positively impacting sustainability in both software and hardware ecosystems.

With Red Hat, IBM acquired one of the most important software companies in the IT industry. Red Hat's pioneering business model helped bring open source into the mainstream for enterprises and today, it’s Red Hat’s open technology that underpins IBM’s hybrid cloud strategy. In this session we’ll take a look at the importance of Red Hat solutions to IBM’s future direction and explore the positioning of Red Hat capabilities alongside IBM’s technology portfolio.
