Business session: SAP best friend in the IT world is the Red Hat Automation offered by Ansible for SAP.  (Room B)

SAP best friend in the IT world is the Red Hat Automation offered by Ansible for SAP.

We believe simplicity is relevant to all sizes of environments, so we design for busy users of all types: developers, sysadmins, release engineers, IT managers, and everyone in between. Ansible is appropriate for managing all environments, from small setups with a handful of instances to enterprise environments with many thousands of instances. Ansible is an IT automation tool. It can configure systems, deploy software, and orchestrate more advanced IT tasks such as continuous deployments or zero downtime rolling updates. Ansible’s main goals are simplicity and ease-of-use. With focus on security and reliability.

Technical session: Increase developer productivity on Kubernetes with OpenShift  (Room A)

Increase developer productivity on Kubernetes with OpenShift

Kubernetes has become the standard control plane for containers and containerised applications. But Kubernetes was built for the needs of IT Operations, not developers. In order for code to be deployed, developers need to be able to leverage the benefits of Kubernetes without requiring them to develop a platform skillset. OpenShift simplifies and automates the way you build, ship, and run code. In this session we'll give an overview of OpenShift and the components that make your development process simple, fun and efficient. #Kubernetes #OpenShift #Developer #DevOps #Productivity

Business session with IBM: IBM FUSION HCI, en nøkkelferdig Self-service Openshift applikasjonsplattform  (Room B)

IBM FUSION HCI, en nøkkelferdig Self-service Openshift applikasjonsplattform

Hvordan ønsker ansatte og kunder og konsumere tjenester i dag? Kort svar er vel så enkelt som mulig! I konsument markedet er de fleste vant til en “app store” der de bestiller det de har behov for, og får dette levert på sekunder. Hvorfor skal man ikke kunne tilby dette også internt i egen organisasjon? Selvbetjening på alt fra infrastruktur, til applikasjon og tjenester, i en plattform der terskelen både for å skape innhold og konsumere dette er lav. En felles plattform for samhandling og samarbeid for dette. For å imøtekomme disse behovene, må man tenke standardisering og automasjon. Mange av de mest kritiske tjenestene i Norge kjører på Red Hat OpenShift. I kombinasjon med IBM Spectrum FUSION gir dette våre kunder en fleksibel, skalerbar, sikker og nøkkelferdig applikasjonsplattform. FUSION tar bort kompleksiteten i den underliggende infrastruktur, og tilbyr en plattform slik at DevSecOps teamene kan konsentrere seg om tjenestene de skal utvikle og levere.
