Accelerate Digital Transformation with IBM Cloud PrivateMichael Elder
Accelerate the journey to cloud-native, refactor existing mission-critical workloads, and catalyze enterprise digital transformations.
How do you ensure the success of your enterprise in highly competitive market landscapes? How will you deliver new cloud-native workloads, modernize existing estates, and drive integration between them?
DevOps within the Hybrid Cloud Deploying to the VMware Platform on the IBM CloudMichael Elder
Delivering quickly means leaving automation across applications and infrastructure as a wholistic approach to development, test, and operations. At IBM, we've made it easy to extend your existing VMware platform onto IBM Cloud - from provisioning new VMware clusters with vRealize Automation management all the way through deploying and operating your applications using IBM UrbanCode Deploy, the market leading DevOps release automation provider. We'll show you how to optimize existing app delivery processes without significantly re-architecting what you're running today. We will demonstrate how the creation of infrastructure automation can be done seamlessly onto the Cloud Foundation platform with direct UrbanCode integration into vRealize.
How do you deliver your applications to the cloud?Michael Elder
Cloud, Docker, Bluemix, and DevOps. You feel the pressure of a hyper-competitive marketplace, and you want to win. Your goal is to deliver apps to that make your users happy and excited about your brand and products, but how do you do that? In this talk, we'll provide a technical briefing for how you can use a DevOps-enabled toolchain to deliver your apps with speed and reliability to the cloud platform of your choice. We'll review how UrbanCode Deploy can deliver your applications to OpenStack, IBM SoftLayer, Amazon, and VMWare with a consistent and portable Infrastructure-as-a-Service approach; or how you can use Containers and Cloud Foundry for app tiers that change potentially many times a day. We’ll also focus in on some exciting new capabilities on our roadmap around Toolchains, Pipelines, Insights, and Releases.
Come take a look and ask your questions, and hopefully come away with a game plan to improve your delivery process today.
Continuous Delivery on IBM Bluemix: Manage Cloud Native Services with Cloud N...Michael Elder
Development teams want to move quickly. Operations teams want to move forward with effective risk management. How do you balance these concerns? With IBM Continuous Delivery for Bluemix, developers are empowered to deliver changes at cloud speed, while release managers can establish policies that ensure compliance with standards. Promotions can be automated all the way to production while enforcing team policies around test coverage and automated test success. And of course, environment inventories are always just a click away. In this talk, you’ll learn how to enable your enterprise teams to deliver like a startup, without violating corporate regulations like separation of duties.

Learn how to Leverage Kubernetes to Support 12 Factor for Enterprise AppsMichael Elder
Brad Topol & Michael Elder, IBM
“12 Factor” is a software methodology for building scalable microservice applications that provides best practices designed to enable applications to be built with portability, resilience, and scalability when deployed to the web. In this talk we provide an overview of the 12 Factor methodology and describe how the core constructs provided by Kubernetes can be leveraged to support the 12 factors for scalable web apps. In this talk we will provide live demonstrations of how Kubernetes can support 12 Factor for not only newer cloud native applications, but also for legacy enterprise middleware applications that include stateful and transactional workloads.
Technical overview in relation to the IBM SmartCloud offering (Private Cloud - IaaS) for IBM i customers: the reference architecture leverages IBM PowerVM virtualisation and IBM VMControl virtualisation and automation management capabilities. Self service portal, VM provisioning, metering and billing are provided by IBM SmartCloud Entry.
Blue Box Cloud Dedicated private cloud as a service (PCaaS) is the logical solution for organizations that demand the security and control of a private cloud with the ease of use of a public cloud. Powered by OpenStack, quick to deploy, highly flexible and fully scalable, Blue Box Cloud Dedicated offers month-to-month and 12-month term pricing options. Get started in a data center near you.
IBM Hybrid Cloud Integration UCC Talk, 23rd November 2021 - Cloud Application...Michael O'Sullivan
A lecture to the students of the University College Cork 3rd year Undergraduate Computer Science class, CS3204 (Cloud Infrastructure and Services) on Cloud Application Platforms and Microservices. As part of IBM Hybrid Cloud, I talk about cloud integration at an enterprise level, and show how Red Hat OpenShift and IBM Cloud Paks can be used to accomplish this. I talk about breaking down large software into containerised microservices, and how the Operator SDK allows us to build custom resources and controllers for Kubernetes platforms to help us manage the lifecycle/reconciliation of microservice-based applications. I use IBM API Connect, part of the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration, deployed on Red Hat OpenShift as an example. A live demo was delivered during the presentation - screenshots of this are included, showing how IBM API Connect can be installed using an Operator from the Red Hat OpenShift OperatorHub - this deploys all the microservices used to run IBM API Connect.
An architect’s guide to leveraging your incumbencyMichael Elder
O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference 2018 (London)
Continuous delivery for 12-factor Microservices works because it’s by design. When you can architect a solution for continuous delivery, you control all the angles but what do you do when you don’t have that luxury? This session will highlight how modernizing existing IT infrastructure with containers enables you to manage change through continuous delivery and reduce ongoing operational costs.
Abstract
While the industry has promoted a dramatic trend to build new, improved styles of architecture; there remains a gap in how to address the ongoing and continuous improvement and operation of existing enterprise IT systems alongside these new 12-factor apps.
In this session, we will review why 12-factor apps are a natural fit for Kubernetes by design. We will demonstrate how Kubernetes addresses virtually all of the 12 factors for scalable web apps. Then we will take a step back and consider the important question: how well will stateful and transactional workloads that were not designed for 12-factor be able to run within Kubernetes?
Even with purist gaps from 12-factor for traditional enterprise workloads, there are real benefits to velocity and cost management to move stateful and transactional workloads to containers. With a container based orchestrator like Kubernetes, all workload types can take advantage of automated DevOps release pipelines, provide rich feedback loops with canary testing, leverage better automated failure recovery in production, and provide easier visibility into the operational health of services running within Kubernetes. Leveraging a standard platform for a blend of architectural types enables an enterprise to standardize operational practices for across the board. The end result might be the right path for your enterprise to drive your digital transformation.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
