00:00:00 --> 00:00:06
My relationship with technology wasn't something I drove. It was thanks to my mother,

2
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10
who said "Son, I need you to do something, so that you can be someone".

3
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
I was missing class a lot so I could play guitar.

4
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
I needed to find my path; I needed professional guidance.

5
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
She was the first person who encouraged me to get into IT.

6
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
And from the moment I started I couldn't stop, because it was a passion that took over my life.

7
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
UOLDIVEO is part of the UOL group and is a services and outsourcing provider

8
00:00:41 --> 00:00:45
with over 17 years of experience offering critical solutions in the IT sector.

9
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
I'm currently part of the engineering team and my responsibility is to continually bring in and absorb

10
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53
content and trends. It's to bring technology into the UOL group.

11
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
I used the Red Hat Learning Subscription for the first time about a year ago at the Red Hat Forum.

12
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
And my reaction was just like when I was young and I'd arrive at the video store,

13
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
see the pile of games cartridges and say "Wow, where do I start?”

14
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
"I'm going to learn this one, I'm going to learn this one, I'm going to learn that one!"

15
00:01:16 --> 00:01:22
And it's tough because the material ranges from platform to media and you feel anxious.

16
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
You need to schedule study time because the content is really diverse.

17
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
It provides cloud computing, platform, middleware and DevOps solutions

18
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
It was then that I moved to the engineering department

19
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
and needed to approve Red Hat's HA (high availability) solution in a very short space of time.

20
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
I had to find a way in. That's when I turned to Learning Subscription and it helped me a lot!

21
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
I managed to find and use a laboratory with the infrastructure already in place.

22
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
I would have spent a huge amount of time on the laboratory.

23
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
You build an environment with specific situations so you can simulate a production environment.

24
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
Because generally, when you build a laboratory—take OpenStack for example—

25
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
you can't do it with two machines, you need an infrastructure!

26
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
Learning Subscription gives you this infrastructure at no cost!

27
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
A differential of this training are the constant updates.

28
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
So you don't go even a month without an update.

29
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
These days in IT, if you go more than a week without checking

30
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
whether anything new is happening, you are already behind.

31
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
It's part of my working life. I've always got the little Red Hat in front of me while I'm working.

32
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
I starting using Red Hat Linux 6.2 (Zoot) 16 or 17 years ago.

33
00:02:48 --> 00:02:56
I feel like I owe my career to this, all my studying, my work, everything I am today.

34
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
I now have a career, thank God, and it's all thanks to what Red Hat provided, without a doubt.
