Many paths to Infrastructure Modernization

Mark Coggin, Sr. Director, Platform and Solutions, Red Hat

Traditional IT infrastructures are typically saddled with a heavy burden of technical debt.

MAD for Mobile: Achieve Mobile Zen through Agile, DevOps, and Microservices

Chad Holmes, Senior Solution Architect, Mobile, Red Hat

The changing needs of a modern software development team can be daunting at first glance. There's often hesitation within organizations to move from familiar, traditional software development methods to a more agile working environment. There are often misconceptions: DevOps means redundancies, microservices is just SOA, right? It doesn't have to be that way, and embracing mobile can help change the entire mindset of software development across an organization. In this session, you'll learn about the concept of a Mobile Center of Excellence (CoE). We'll share a business case for establishing one. We'll introduce some new CoE concepts that developers, architects, and IT managers alike need to become familiar with to achieve this state of zen.
