Developers are passionate about solving problems with code and delivering functionality to others. Unfortunately, they need to spend more and more time finding the right information to get started, which tools and APIs they can use, and how to get their code safely, securely, and reliably in production. To tackle these problems, we, as Red Hat, took the next step in our portfolio, with our developer hub, we are building the next-level enterprise one-step portal for developers where they can find an answer to all their questions. We even provide them with golden paths on how to get started and provide basic default setups based on best practices. Once the developer has written her code, with our trusted software supply chain, we give them the tooling and methodology to deliver and test their application from test to production.

Over the last 50 years, technology has evolved to become critical and indispensable to industries and communities around the globe. Security practices have changed in reaction to these evolutions, yet not to the same degree. Security continues to play catchup in a number of areas and we continue to hang onto old and demonstrably inefficient practices in some areas, such as vulnerability (or patch) management. How do we reconcile the need to reduce risk while investing in future technology innovations and how do we ensure finite resources target real, and not perceived, threats? Industry: technology, technical proficiency level: business-focused.

There are many success stories on how automation of configurations and updates minimized downtime and enhanced stability and maintainability. But how do you effectively and efficiently develop your Ansible playbooks? Meet Ansible Lightspeed and unleash the power of AI to help you write your playbooks faster.

This demo was inspired by a real use case of one of our customers who wanted to deliver Firewall as a Service to their customers. It showcases how you can fully automate your network security, from the infrastructure to network security provisioning, using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). using the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP). The demo starts by deploying multiple Fortinet virtual appliances on a cloud infrastructure: FortiGate, the firewall; FortiAnalyzer, the log analyzer; and FortiManager, the centralized Fortinet manager. After the initial deployment, each node is completely configured, namely setting network parameters, adding policy rules, interconnecting the Fortinet nodes to each other’s, and gathering facts about current configurations and status. All this automation is conveniently triggered from an ITSM Catalog entry in ServiceNow. Industry: technology, technical proficiency level: advanced.
