Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) addresses these challenges by offering a comprehensive, enterprise-grade solution for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across different infrastructures.
This session presents an exploration of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM), a powerful solution for simplifying Kubernetes cluster management in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. RHACM addresses the challenges organizations face when operating complex containerized workloads by providing centralized governance, automation, and observability across multiple clusters and clouds. With RHACM, IT teams can efficiently manage Kubernetes clusters, enhance security, ensure compliance, and scale containerized applications with ease. This session delves into the key features, benefits, real-world use cases, and best practices of RHACM, making it an essential tool for DevOps teams and cloud administrators.

Architecting Tomorrow: Building Resilient Private Cloud Platforms with Platform Engineering Magic

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud computing, platform engineering has emerged as a critical discipline, enabling organizations to build robust, scalable, and efficient cloud platforms. This session presents a comprehensive case study of constructing a private cloud platform utilizing several technologies, including Morpheus, GitLab, Ansible Automation Platform, Red Hat OpenShift, and ServiceNow. The study outlines the strategic approach to integrating these technologies to create a cohesive and automated environment that supports DevOps practices and facilitates continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD).
Furthermore, the session discusses the outcomes of this platform engineering program, including improved deployment times, enhanced operational efficiency, and it concludes with key takeaways and best practices gleaned from the experience, offering valuable insights for organizations looking to embark on a similar journey of building a private cloud platform.

The Saga continues.. handling Microservice Transactions with Oracle MicroTX.

Transaction patterns are utterly important to have consistent data in Microservice transactions. Oracle provides a framework which helps any technology to handle any transaction patterns, like SAGA, 2 phase commit and XA . It’s good know the several usecases. This session handles about transaction management, like SAGA, with Oracle TX

Use APEX ORDS as a transaction manager for your microservices

In the evolving landscape of database applications, the integration of Oracle Application Express (APEX) and Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) within transactional systems presents a compelling narrative for modern enterprises. This session delineates the process of configuring an Oracle Database application as an XA transaction participant, specifically within the purview of MicroTx transactions. The synergy between Oracle APEX and ORDS is pivotal, as it facilitates the construction of robust, scalable applications that can seamlessly participate in distributed transactions.
As an XA transaction participant, the application is endowed with the capability to engage in a global transaction managed by an external transaction manager, which in this case is MicroTx. This configuration is instrumental in scenarios where multiple resources are enlisted in a single transaction, necessitating a coordinated and atomic commit or rollback mechanism.
Deploying such an application can be achieved through various infrastructural setups. One can leverage the managed APEX service provided by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, which offers a streamlined and maintenance-free environment, allowing developers to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure management. Alternatively, the Oracle RAD stack, an integrated solution comprising ORDS, Oracle APEX, and Oracle Database, can be deployed within a Kubernetes cluster. This approach harnesses the power of container orchestration, providing high availability, scalability, and a declarative setup that aligns with modern DevOps practices.

Which Vault? Don't tell me your secret(s)!

Secret management is a crucial aspect of DevOps, as it involves the protection of sensitive data that is used by applications and services. Secrets can include API keys, credentials, tokens, certificates, and passwords that grant access to various resources and systems. If these secrets are compromised, attackers can exploit them to cause damage, steal information, or disrupt operations.
The challenges of secret management is how to securely store, distribute, and rotate secrets in a dynamic and distributed environment. Traditional methods of hard-coding secrets in configuration files or environment variables are not secure, scalable, or reliable. Moreover, secrets need to be updated frequently to comply with security policies and regulations to prevent unauthorized access.
To address these challenges, several tools and frameworks have been developed to provide secret management solutions for DevOps. These tools can help DevOps teams to implement best practices for secret management.

The Saga continues.. handling Microservice Transactions with MicroTX

A Saga is a pattern for managing distributed transactions in a microservices architecture. It is essentially a sequence of local transactions that are coordinated by a coordinator.This is one of the patterns for handling Microservice Transactions. Transaction patterns are utterly important to have consistent data in Microservice transactions. MircroTX is a framework which helps any technology to handle any transaction patterns, like SAGA, 2 phase commit and XA . It’s good know the several usecases. This session handles about handling and developing a solid transaction management strategy, like SAGA, using the MicroTX Framework.
