T-Mobile & Red Hat Automation Codefest

Overview

Red Hat and T-Mobile are hosting an Automation Codefest program starting in June to challenge teams to create innovative automation solutions that drive the Telco to Techco transformation providing business advantages for T-Mobile. Prior to the Automation Codefest, we will host three half-day, in-person events and one virtual webinar to focus on the Automation Codefest preparation work required including hands-on labs, demos, discussions, use cases and more. Final presentations for the Automation Codefest will be judged by leadership from both T-Mobile and Red Hat at the end of June. 
 

Who should attend?
The Automation Codefest preparation workshops are intended for T-Mobile associates who want to learn more about AI and Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform and how it can help you orchestrate, operationalize and govern your hybrid cloud environments. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their ideas to a panel of T-Mobile management and other participants at the Automation Codefest in June receiving first, second and third place award recognition.
 

Join us to gain an understanding of how automation can help deliver more value with responsive IT services, gaining new levels of efficiency so you can focus on the innovations that give T-Mobile that edge of leading digital customer experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How many people can be on my submission team?
A: As many as you’d like!  Cross-team collaboration is encouraged, but engage your manager on the use cases so we can make sure we know which team ultimately owns the workload.

Q: Is my use case allowed?
A: We will have pre-built environments for you to test out your use case prior to submissions.  Your use case ideally should fit into the following environments:
          -1 or 2 Cisco endpoints
          -Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) with Event Driven Ansible
          -AAP for RHEL upgrades
          -AAP on OpenShift
          -Custom deployment IF use case is cleared in advance prior to the workshop

Q: What if I don’t finish deploying my use case?
A: That’s ok!  You may need more time to explore after the event.  Create a slide deck or other presentation asset to share what you’ve worked on.
