The Power of Platform: Enabling Business Innovation without Compromises

The “AI moment” is here. So how can the business enable their most critical IT platforms to harness the power of AI, while still balancing new innovations and stability?

How can we simplify and expand the use of automation across all of IT operations? How can we better manage scalable infrastructure across Data Center, Cloud and the Edge? And finally, how can we deliver a more secure, more trusted software across every aspect of the business, to drive new business opportunities? All of these questions, and many more, will be answered in this session.

A business view on the journey from self-managed OpenShift on AWS to managed (ROSA)

Helvetia - In this session you will see how Helvetia went from on prem classic dev and ops splitted application landscape to a fully managed container runtime hosted on AWS (ROSA). We will show what strategic decisions opened the way to dispose the on prem server landscape and host containerized applications in a self-managed Openshift cluster. Furthermore as a consequence of the strategic and business requirements we reduced the self-managed part by adopting ROSA as our standard cluster setup enabling Helvetia to roll out setups with a very small footprint in cost and management work without reducing security and data protection.
