How to Overcome Data Challenges When Refactoring Monoliths to Microservices

VMware Tanzu

When taking existing monoliths and decomposing their components into new microservices, the most critical concerns have much less to do with the application code and more to do with handling data. In this webinar, Kenny Bastani from Pivotal and Jason Mimick from MongoDB will focus on various methods of strangling a monolith’s ownership of domain data by transitioning the system of record over time. The new system of record, MongoDB, will fuel rapidly built and deployed microservices which companies can leverage for new revenue streams. They will use practices from Martin Fowler’s Strangler Application to slowly strangle domain data away from a legacy system into cloud-native MongoDB clusters using microservices built with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Speakers: Kenny Bastani is a Spring developer advocate at Pivotal. As a passionate blogger and open source contributor, Kenny engages a community of passionate developers on topics ranging from graph databases to microservices. Kenny is a co-author of Cloud Native Java: Designing Resilient Systems with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry from O’Reilly. Jason Mimick is the Technical Director for Partners at MongoDB developing new product and technical innovations with a number of companies. He's been at MongoDB nearly 4 years and previously spent the last 20-odd years in various engineering positions at Intersystems, Microsoft, and other companies.

Modern Network Compliance: Go Beyond CLIs, Adopt APIs

Itential

Enterprise network teams are challenged with deploying and maintaining a network that includes not just traditional CLI-based devices, but an ever-growing list of network solutions that use dashboards, controllers, and other methods for managing them. Behind these new, modern network solutions are APIs that can be leveraged to provide compliance and automation for the network practitioner who wants to understand them. Watch our on-demand webinar with Glenn Gray and Rich Martin as they discuss how APIs are a critically important aspect of today’s modern network environment. We illustrate the differences between CLI and API management and configuration, discuss how APIs function and where to find them, and explain why it’s important for every enterprise network team to learn how to leverage APIs in addition to CLI to achieve complete network compliance across physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructure. In this webinar, we dive into: • Understanding APIs and why every network team should learn to use them. • Discussion of the importance of APIs in on-prem and cloud networks. • A demo of how to ensure compliance across you CLI and API infrastructure.

Modern Network Compliance: What It Is & How to Achieve It

Itential

For enterprise networks to be compliant they must encompass two things: standards that define how networks are configured and ensuring those standards are enforced rigidly and uniformly across the network, whether it is physical, virtual, or cloud. However, today’s modern and exploded network infrastructure includes a multitude of edge devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and with the addition of cloud-based services it’s only getting more complex. Effective management of the network in a holistic manner is crucial for operational consistency. Regardless of your network size or type, constant configuration changes to infrastructure components based on business and technical requirements are inevitable and organizations need a modern approach to ensure configuration compliance across all network devices and services. In this webinar we will discuss: • Modern network compliance and why a modernized approach and process is required for today’s enterprise networks. • Sources and categories of network compliance. • How to extend compliance into cloud networks and show how to maintain compliance by implementing a Configuration Validation method into any configuration change process. • The necessity of moving beyond the break-check-fix cycle with Configuration Validation.

HBC9363 Virtualization 2.0 How the Cloud is Evolving the Modern Data Center

davehill99

In his article Virtualization 2.0 Is Your On-Ramp to the Cloud published on SIliconANGLE, VMware Cloud Strategist David Hill, writes, “Many companies today are recognizing value in the cloud even though they have no plans to mothball their own data centers. To them, the cloud represents both an extension of their on-premises infrastructures and the latest chapter in the ongoing evolution of their IT practice.” David goes on to describe this latest chapter as “Virtualization 2.0,” because just as virtualization untethered workloads from servers, this stage is about untethering those same workloads from the data center itself, enabling apps to freely move between clouds the way they can move between servers today.

Itential’s No-Code Approach to Integration for Network Automation

Itential

According to Gartner, turnkey integration capabilities to key tools and vendors is a critical capability for network automation – however, most vendors make it difficult to integrate by requiring the use of custom code, or view integration as a profit center by selling services for integration or licensing a vendor-approved module to the customer. This “Integration Tax” increases project timelines, adds cost, and limits versatility. Traditionally, customers had to make choices and select a few key systems to integrate because it was either too time consuming or costly to integrate with everything. Itential’s approach to integration starts by recognizing the customer’s right to select the ‘right tool for the job’ from among a variety of choices and understanding the immediate value of leveraging the existing tools and systems they already own. To eliminate the Integration Tax, Itential has implemented a way to build codeless integrations with systems using standards-based API specifications, like OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman collections. Instead of limiting organizations to a few technology choices, this empowers our customers to integrate quickly with any API-managed IT system, network controller, or cloud platform that the organization wishes to use —today or tomorrow. Itential has also addressed one of the hidden costs normally associated with integration – data transformation. One essential requirement for full integration is the ability to transform the payloads that come from the various integration points so that the automation system can incorporate the data into automation flows. Itential’s data transformation capabilities replace complicated scripts and enable users to take a no-code approach for creating comprehensive data transformations. In this on-demand webinar, Morgan Stern, VP of Automation Strategy at Itential, and Karan Munalingal, Head of Solutions Engineering at Itential, explored Itential’s unique approach to integration for network automation by: Diving into Itential’s API first approach to network automation. The importance of out-of-the-box integration for network automation and associated time and cost savings. The value of data transformation for integration. Why Itential believes in integrating with a federated source of truth. How to connect to anything with Itential’s automation products. How to easily build your own integration and transform data on the fly.

From Scripts to Self-Service: How to Achieve Scalable Enterprise Network Auto...

Itential

Many network engineers feel stuck spending their days working through a seemingly never-ending backlog of network change requests that have them darting across multiple network technologies including CLI devices, API-enabled controllers, and public cloud networking, and then they need to make sure that any adjacent tools are updated to reflect each change. These common and repeatable network requests, whether triggered by users or events, account for a large portion of a network engineer’s daily workload. Enterprise network teams are looking for a way to ease this burden by using automation, starting with task-based scripts and moving toward more scalable network automation. This journey starts with simple scripting that is currently occurring and leads to end-to-end, self-service automation, which will free network teams up so they can focus on larger business initiatives.

How to Select High Impact Use Cases to Drive a Successful Network Automation ...

Itential

As organizations engage on their initiatives to deliver network automation at scale, the prioritization of use cases becomes an essential component to maximize and sustain delivery of benefits to the business. Automating large use cases can have a huge impact, but the time and cost to automate those cases means that benefits will take time to manifest. “Low hanging fruit” use cases can show quick success, but the benefits on their own may be modest. This raises a critical question – How do organizations select the network automation uses cases that provide the most impact? In Itential’s experience working with hundreds of service providers and enterprises across the world to automate their networks, their team of automation experts has gained first-hand experience in the evaluation, implementation, and execution of thousands of network automation use cases. Explore what goes into successful use case selection such as: • The process you should take when selecting the use cases that will drive the most impact to your business. • The most popular use cases organizations like yours are starting with. • How to weigh the benefits of tackling low-hanging fruit vs. making big bets.

Itential

Enterprise IT organizations are striving for improvements in agility and security to meet business needs aligned to strategies and objectives. For their part, IT infrastructure and operations teams are turning to network automation solutions to realize these gains. But the reality is that most network professionals lack confidence in their networks’ ability to adhere to best configuration standards, casting doubt on their ability to automate it without the introduction of more errors. Recently, Itential conducted new research in partnership with Enterprise Management Associates, surveying over 1,000 IT professionals who are responsible for managing networks that reveals the state of network configuration management and automation in the enterprise. Here are some of the key insights uncovered in this research to help enterprises tackle their network automation initiatives, while feeling confident their network is secure, including: • Current state of network automation in the enterprise and why configuration management is a key factor to success. • Top challenges enterprises face when seeking to automate their networks and how they are overcoming them. • How organizations must think about their automation strategy and approach to selecting the right tools to realize true value.

Achieving Closed Loop Firewall Automation with Batfish Enterprise & Itential

Itential

In today’s dynamic IT environment, network and security teams often find themselves caught between the need to make network and security changes quickly while allowing enough time for due diligence to ensure those changes are secure. IT teams are deploying applications at a rapid pace to support their business, so network and security teams need a modern way to rapidly deploy changes without creating unintentional security risks to the organization. Batfish Enterprise allows network engineers to setup policy rule validation so configuration changes into firewalls (and other network devices) aren’t a guessing game. But now that you finally feel better about making changes, there is more to consider ¬– the change process, the actual change itself, the policy validation, and pre/post checks. That’s where Itential comes in. The Itential Automation Platform is an end-to-end network automation platform purpose-built for this very use case. Join Mike Elrom, Senior Solutions Architect at Itential and Samir Parikh, Head of Product at Intentionet for a live webinar on achieving closed-loop policy configuration management.

In this live webinar, you’ll see a demo of Batfish Enterprise and Itential’s Automation Platform perform: Creation and management of a Change Request Process (ServiceNow). Continuous notification (Slack). Pre-change validation (Batfish Enterprise). Fully automated deployment (Palo Alto). Post-change verification (Batfish Enterprise).

Accelerating 5G Impact Through Cell Site Backhaul Automation

Itential

As mobile operators rush to deploy and expand their 5G coverage, they are all recognizing that the backhaul network, (the network of cell site routers and aggregation routers that carry traffic from the cell sites to the core network), must evolve to support the bandwidth and latency needs of performance-hungry 5G customers. Some providers have rushed to increase bandwidth while others have embarked on aggressive programs to replace older circuits with ethernet or optical links. With projections of growth to up to 8 million cell sites to support 5G, deploying and operating the backhaul network elements is a massive ongoing effort for networking engineers and operations teams. Itential has been working with several mobile operators to automate their cell site backhaul networks and the results have been transformational, allowing these operators to accelerate their 5G programs. While enabling the transport network for new 5G capabilities like 5G network slicing, automation provides such benefits as reducing the cost to deploy and manage networks by 80%. In this webinar, we discuss why automation is ideal for 5G backhaul by discussing topics such as: Drivers for backhaul transformation Essential components of a backhaul automation solution Key automation use cases that eliminate manual effort and enable engineers to focus on high-impact activities Business impact and benefits of backhaul automation How backhaul automation can be an enabler for 5G network slicing and other 5G new features
