Concerns about security, downtime and latency, budgets, and general unfamiliarity with cloud technologies continue to create hesitation for many organizations that truly need to be developing a cloud strategy. Hybrid cloud solutions are helping to elevate those concerns by enabling the combination or orchestration of two or more platforms, including on-premise infrastructure, private clouds and/or third-party, public cloud services. This gives organizations more comfort to begin their digital transformation without a complete overhaul of their existing infrastructure – serving as a sort of «missing link» for transition to cloud utilization.

As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology — and even primary platform — of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations.

Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.

As they do so, IT professionals are also embracing the reality of Serverless architectures, which are critical to developing and operating real-time applications and services. Serverless is particularly important as enterprises of all sizes develop and deploy Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives.

Artificial intelligence is positively affecting our world in previously unimaginable ways across many different industries. The use of AI is particularly interesting in the cybersecurity industry because of its unique ability to scale and prevent previously unseen zero-day attacks and for automating complicated analysis and processes at machine speed. But just in the way drug cartels built their own submarines and cellphone towers to evade law enforcement, so too will cyber-criminals build their own AI systems to carry out malicious attacks.

AI is a force for good and has demonstrated great success thus far in security applications; but AI can also be used for evil. Malcolm Harkins, Chief Security and Trust Officer at Cylance, will cover the basics of AI technology, how AI is currently being used for evil and suggested ways to combat AI attacks.

Just recently organizations started moving secure applications and workloads to the public cloud. In this presentation, we will focus on one enterprises’ journey to the public cloud. How we built and secured our very large and scalable public cloud environment, and the cutting edge tools used. As organizations migrate to the public cloud to meet business requirements, security and compliance are an afterthought. This causes massive pains when audit time comes around. What organizations need is a new approach. In this presentation, we will focus on the best practices for implementation, whether it be open source or commercial.

Kubernetes as a Container Platform is becoming a de facto for every enterprise. In my interactions with enterprises adopting container platform, I come across common questions: – How does application security work on this platform? What all do I need to secure? – How do I implement security in pipelines? – What about vulnerabilities discovered at a later point in time? – What are newer technologies like Istio Service Mesh bring to table?In this session, I will be addressing these commonly asked questions that every enterprise trying to adopt an Enterprise Kubernetes Platform needs to know so that they can make informed decisions.

Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the data. Still performance data is a secret language only a couple of people understand. The more business becomes digital the more stakeholders are interested in this data including how it relates to business. Some of these people have never used a monitoring tool before. They have a question on their mind like «How is my application doing» but no idea how to get a proper answer.

Cloud, containers, and their second cousin, DevOps, are disrupting the data center. Not just because applications are leaving, but because of the demands and expectations of dev and ops on IT. Modernization – not just migration – is critical for the data center to add value to the business. This session will explore these demands and expectations and provide both architectural and operational guidance to making the changes necessary to maintain relevance in a cloudy, containerized, and DevOps-driven world. If you’re good with that, let’s run with it.
