Predictive AI has been used by telecommunication service providers for many years. GenAI is the new kid in town, with growing expectations to provide innovative ways to lower cost and drive new revenue streams. When it comes to AI, service providers have options. They can buy ready made solutions off the shelf or partner with innovative companies. They also have the option to task their data scientists, data and ML engineers as well as their application developers with tuning AI to their specific needs. This session will look at these options in more detail and provide a guide for partnering and in-house developments.

We find common themes as the automotive industry reevaluates its overall virtualization strategy. Join us as we address the challenges faced by large, global automotive manufacturers, irrespective of whether they are on-premise, on-edge, in plants, or in a public cloud. Regardless of where virtualization is needed, sensitivity must be around people-process and tech in a new, modernized virtualization platform within a container. Join us to hear of some approaches that are key to moving forward.

Join this hands-on-lab to learn how the InstructLab project aims to simplify GenAI model alignment tuning and enable a community-based approach to model development. We will discuss how IBM Research has partnered with Red Hat to open source IBM Granite LLMs & InstructLab model alignment tools, based on the LAB (Large-scale Alignment for chatBots) methodology. Finally we will cover how RHEL AI delivers this as an enterprise supported foundation model platform, to help users seamlessly develop, test and deploy GenAI models.

In the ever-evolving landscape of information technology (IT), containers emerged as a fundamental component that revolutionized software development, deployment, and management. These lightweight and portable units encapsulate applications and their dependencies. However, operating system customization remains a persistent challenge during day two configuration management and the initial creation of operating system (OS) images.

This lab introduces image mode, a novel approach to address these issues using bootc images. This approach combines the capabilities of Open Container Initiative (OCI) container images with the power and flexibility of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Virtualization is more than just deploying a VM and handing it over to the application team. As an infrastructure architect and virtualization admin, you’re responsible for the platform, including how to manage the hardware, apply patches and updates, configure and manage storage, and more.

Join us for a hands-on lab and overview of OpenShift Virtualization where you’ll experience managing virtual machines and the underlying infrastructure using OpenShift’s cloud-native paradigms and methods. Learn from our experts about OpenShift Virtualization, along with the platform management tools and methods that will assist you with modernizing your approach to deploying and managing a virtualization platform.

Organizations are faced with a challenge: how to invest in innovation (like modernization and AI) in the face of flat budgets, unknown innovation costs, and recent pricing and packaging changes virtualization space. Something has to give. What's needed is a holistic approach that not only finds a new virtualization platform for existing VMs, but helps you evolve from VMs to containers and serverless, and from traditional applications to cloud-native apps and AI.

OpenShift® Virtualization can be part of the solution: with a migration factory that uses Red Hat Anisble® Automation Platform to accelerate migration and Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management to orchestrate migration and day 2 tasks as well. In this session, we will introduce you to OpenShift Virtualization, its features, comparisons with other platforms, and how it can meet your current virtualization needs. We will also look at how the whole Red Hat portfolio of Ansible, RHEL, and Red Hat OpenShift can help you do more with less budget, optimize your training and skills requirement on standardized platforms, and help you deliver your modernization and AI objectives.

IT organizations are struggling to scale and keep up with the increasing number of regulatory programs, changing controls requirements, and continuous compliance expectations. Automation can help teams automate policies and govern compliance in their regulated environments so that the development experience is tuned to the regulations rules and the applications are systematically validated before deployment.

With Ansible pipelines for compliance, teams can now:

• Complete the validation or enforcement on their controls automatically.
• Administer remediations or mitigation actions.
• Gather the required evidence and posture for their audit reports.

This technology makes it easier for teams to automate policies and bridge them to compliance to regulate development and deployment. It has flexibility in controls, rules, and policy and actions and can be used by teams without an extended project or deep coding skills.

In this session, we'll discuss:

• How to get started.
• Policy as code automation via Open Policy Agent (OPA) engine.
• Compliance as code authoring via Trestle.
• The solution's flexibility due to its architecture and usability.

Join this session to learn more about how to take the next step with your automation strategy.
