2. RED HAT AND CONTAINERS
THE PROBLEM
I.T. delivers thousands of
applications to meet the
needs of the business.
These applications require
complicated collaboration
during installation and
integration every time they
are deployed.

3. RED HAT AND CONTAINERS
THE PROBLEM
Many have different
requirements.
They also use different
languages, databases,
and tools.

4. RED HAT AND CONTAINERS
THE PROBLEM
To deploy, configure, manage, and
maintain this complexity takes:
● People,
● expertise,
● and the right systems,
infrastructure, and architecture.
This costs time and money.

5. RED HAT AND CONTAINERS
THE SOLUTION
CONTAINERS Adopting a container
strategy will allow
applications to be easily
shared and deployed.

11. RED HAT AND CONTAINERS
WHAT ARE CONTAINERS?
It depends who you ask
● Relies on Linux operating system features
● Have Linux inside, so each container is
made of Linux software
● Simpler, lighter, and denser than virtual
machines
● Need orchestration and management to be
useful
● Package an enterprise application just like
an app on your iPhone
● Easily add to applications you’ve already
built
● Easily share containerized components
● A “black box” for applications & everything
they need to run
● More control for developers

Container adoption will grow in many venues

LIFT AND SHIFT
● Containerize existing
components
● Deploy them on a PaaS
● Keep external integrations
and data on legacy
● Legacy applications have
to be well written and
suited
AUGMENT WITH NEW
LAYERS
COMPLETE REWRITE
PATTERNS IN MIGRATING WORKLOADS
3 MAIN PATTERNS
● Legacy remains intact
● New layer enables new
capabilities
● Deploy on PaaS
● New integration points
between legacy and new
layers
● Legacy is totally replaced
● New interfaces and data
● Use PaaS to run
● Some data and features
can be re-wrapped, but
mostly are retired

WHAT’S NEXT?
Organizational changes are often linked to better alignment of development and operations.
➔ How are you approaching the timing and need for these changes?
Establishing strategies for net-new investments versus existing assets is critical. You need a baseline of
infrastructure capabilities to be able to serve this new model.
➔ How do you coordinate the balance between the infrastructure investment needed and the
application investment?
New development patterns (e.g. 12 factor applications) might not be applicable to your existing assets. New
development frameworks might be valuable but re-tooling costs are significant.
➔ How important is protecting your existing investments versus learning new capabilities?
Recommendation:
➔ Find “low hanging fruit”
➔ Assess skills & capabilities on your team
➔ Engage in a discovery session with Red Hat advisors
