Why Attend?

Join #AnsibleAutomates2021 to rethink your business in all senses using automation.

The decision to make a change most often requires a catalyst or a compelling event. Sometimes that impetus is industry specific or the increased use of multiple cloud services within your organization. Sometimes it’s a catastrophic outage, which leads to a loss in revenue. Other times, it’s a global shift in how companies manage their business, including the need to accommodate flexible work arrangements without warning. IT automation can help give organizations the ability to do more with less, while scaling their infrastructure. Join us to find out about best practices and trends in IT automation for use case scenarios.

Abstract
As more DevOps practices are automated, it becomes harder to capture the data required to ensure all security and compliance concerns are met. Organizations need an automated process to track governance throughout the entire software delivery process, so they can attest to the integrity of all assets and to the security of all running applications. This paper is intended to guide organizations on implementing an automated process for tracking governance throughout the deployment pipeline by providing a reference architecture to help guide organizations on how to design and implement automated governance throughout the delivery pipeline. A sample use case is also provided to further enforce these best practices.

Abstract
As organizations navigate the new realities of an ever-changing enterprise ecosystem, IT automation has become an imperative boardroom conversation. IT executives need more than a tool to get their company where it needs to be. They need a long-term strategy—and a true automation platform—that contributes to the organization’s overall digital transformation. Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can help by giving organizations the ability to do more with less, while scaling their infrastructure. During this session, we’ll explore an IT executive’s role in adopting and growing an automation solution for success, connecting technology, processes, and teams to deliver more business value.
