Wide-Scale Automation in Hybrid Cloud With Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform

A tool that automates all aspects of IT in a business from configuration to deployment is a dream come true for companies in the hybrid cloud space. A platform that comes close in parts is the very familiar Ansible Automation Platform. Writing for Gestalt It, Sulagna Saha discusses Red Hat’s newly enhanced capabilities in their Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform that was demonstrated at this past Cloud Field Day. Check out Sulagna’s thoughts here!

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Brings Operational Consistency to the Edge

Last December, at Tech Field Day, Red Hat highlighted its OpenShift Container Platform, which has multiple configurations to run Kubernetes at the edge and as-a-service in the public cloud and on-premises. Red Hat has brought this offering to the edge with three new deployment models aimed at making it easier to run AI/ML at the edge. For more on the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, check out the videos from Tech Field Day on our website!


Buying Into the New Oil and Making It Work for You

Red Hat highlighted AI/ML market trends at AI Field Day last fall, and what it brings to the table. The company claims that 80% of a data scientist’s time is spent doing mundane tasks, which Red Hat is trying to solve. Data scientists want a self-service cloud-like experience for their AI and ML projects. This is where Red Hat OpenShift comes in. To learn more about how Red Hat OpenShift is helping with AI/ML projects and models, check out its videos from AI Field Day on our website!


Managed OpenShift in the Cloud: Red Hat at Cloud Field Day

At Cloud Field Day last November, Red Hat highlighted its managed service options and competitive advantages in the cloud. Red Hat addresses the challenges of maintaining day-to-day operations through its OpenShift Managed Services. There are three major Managed OpenShift offerings: OpenShift Dedicated, Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). For more information on Red Hat’s OpenShift, watch its presentations on the Tech Field Day website!


Architecting AI Infrastructure

As a delegate at the first ever AI Field Day earlier this year, Gina Rosenthal helped to pioneer Tech Field Day into a new topic area! On 24×7 IT Connection, she writes about several the presenters she saw including BrainChip, Red Hat, Intel, MemVerge, and VAST Data. Gina notes that with the pool of professionals building AI infrastructures growing, there is an increased need for education around architecting those infrastructures. Our thanks to Gina for being on the delegate panel at AI Field Day, we hope you check out her deep dive!


Tech Field Day 22: The TECHunplugged Take on Red Hat OpenShift

After seeing Red Hat present on their OpenShift offering at Tech Field Day last week, delegates Max Mortillaro and Arjan Timmerman jumped on YouTube to give their thoughts. In this video they talk about Red Hat’s place in the market, some of the interesting Kubernetes offerings, and their perspective on OpenShift. A big thank you to both Red Hat for presenting and to Max and Arjan for being excellent delegates!


Check Out Our Videos From Cloud Field Day

We were delighted to host Red Hat as a presenter at Cloud Field Day earlier this month where they demonstrated the capabilities of Red Hat OpenShift. In a post on the OpenShift website, Red Hat shares recaps of their three presentations including a focus on OpenShift hosted and managed services, managing the open hybrid cloud, and finally Stu Miniman’s journey toward joining Red Hat. We look forward to seeing Red Hat at the next field day event!


Daily Check-In for May 4, 2020

Ned Bellavance has been checking in on his YouTube channel every weekday at 11am ET while we’re all working from home, and he recently talked about what he saw from OpenShift at Tech Field Day Virtual with Red Hat. He focuses on OpenShift Cluster Manager, which can be used as a SaaS service or deployed on-prem. He looks at how this fits into typical organizational uses of Kubernetes, where organizations might run into problems, and some of the advanced features available to on-prem deployments.


RedHat (Virtual) Summit 2020

We were extremely proud to organize Tech Field Day Virtual with Red Hat, providing a virtual event in conjunction with Red Hat Summit 2020 Virtual Experience. This event focused on OpenShift, and provided an overview, deep dives into the latest updates, and answered all the delegate questions gathered around the (virtual) roundtable. We were thrilled to have delegates like Andrea Mauro join us for the event, and we can’t wait to see more of his thoughts on the presentations.


(32) Daily Check-In for April 30, 2020

Ned Bellavance has been doing daily video check-ins while sheltering in place, and in this video he provides his thoughts on Tech Field Day Virtual with Red Hat. He was a delegate at the virtual event, and was impressed by both the breadth of talent and tech shown at the event. The overall focus was on OpenShift. In the video, Ned breaks down some of the major updates, why Red Hat pivoted OpenShift to Kubernetes, and what the implications are for IT and organizations.


OpenShift TFDx Hot Take – What’s the Tipping Point for K8s?

To date, Keith Townsend hasn’t felt comfortable recommending OpenShift and Kubernetes to the typical enterprise he consults with. He got to get extensive time with the OpenShift team during our recent Tech Field Day Virtual with Red Hat, and finally got the firm response that he wanted the OpenShift is a PaaS solution in addition to a managed Kubernetes offering. Keith is still a Kubernetes skeptic, he still hasn’t heard the problem that Kubernetes has uniquely solved. But the clarification about OpenShift was well worth it for Keith.


Marketplaces Are Changing the Way We Do Enterprise IT

Enrico Signoretti has been looking into the increasing importance of marketplaces for unstructured data management solutions. These allow IT to add functionalities to your infrastructure quickly, without having to go through a complex purchase, installation, and configuration process. Enrico got to see two examples of these at recent Field Day events. At Cloud Field Day, VMware showed off their marketplace for VMware Cloud on AWS, with another marketplace on display at Tech Field Day Virtual with Red Hat. With more mature technology, Enrico see marketplaces not just as the purview of cloud providers, but rather being extended to hybrid cloud platforms and eventually the private enterprise marketplace.
