Agenda
Room 2: Zero Trust at Scale: Integrating HashiCorp Vault with Red Hat OpenShift
Implement Zero Trust at scale. Discover how HashiCorp Vault integrates with OpenShift to automate dynamic secrets management, eliminate static credentials, and secure containerized or AI workloads.
Room 5: Workshop : Hands-On AIOps: Building Self-Healing, Observability-Driven Automation with Ansible
Hands-On AIOps: Building Self-Healing, Observability-Driven Automation with Ansible
Room 1: Migration from Springboot to Quarkus with IBM Bob
Migrate Spring Boot to Quarkus with IBM Bob. Our AI-first SDLC partner accelerates coding, testing, and operations. Modernize faster, govern better, and automate your transition path.
Room 3: Red Hat OpenShift as a Service on AWS: From Zero to Production-Ready Cluster in Minutes
In this session, you will learn how ROSA eliminates the complexity of Kubernetes operations and empowers your teams to focus on application development instead of infrastructure
Room 5: Introduction to ROSA on AWS, the managed OpenShift solution
Learn about ROSA: a managed, Pay-as-you-Go OpenShift service on AWS. Scale nodes, configure SSO, log to CloudWatch, deploy secure apps via IRSA, and use GitOps in this hands-on lab.
Room 1: The playbook for a sovereign Model-as-a-Service platform
Stop overpaying for black-box APIs. Build your own private MaaS with open models. We’ll demo observability, access policies, and cost control. Stop being a consumer; own your AI destiny.
Room 2: CSI WON’T SAVE YOU
CSI compliance isn't a storage strategy. Discover what CSI avoids in production and how Portworx delivers the resilience, disaster recovery, and data mobility teams actually need.
Room 1: Digital sovereignty in practice: keeping control with Red Hat and IBM
Red Hat and IBM offer a practical sovereignty approach: open, portable platforms like OpenShift and Ansible combined with IBM’s security and AI governance. Innovate with AI while staying in control.
Room 4: Scaling AI on Hybrid Cloud for Production LLM Inference at Scale
Learn how to run production-ready LLM inference on Kubernetes with vLLM for fast, efficient, and cost-effective AI at scale across hybrid cloud environments. We’ll follow the evolution of production inference from vLLM fundamentals, to distributed inference patterns with llm-d, and finally to operating Models as a Service (MaaS) as a scalable platform capability across on-prem and cloud infrastructure.
Room 3: UpLift and Shift: Modernizing VMs on AWS
Ditch basic lift-and-shift. Learn to migrate VMs to OpenShift on AWS to gain cloud-native scaling, CI/CD, and unified management without rewriting code.
Coffee break
TBD
Room 1: Bring Your Own Agent. We’ll Bring the Cluster.
Red Hat's Burr Sutter, a legendary "developer's developer" known for high-stakes live demos, delivers a keynote on complex microservices, supported by Principal Product Manager Natale Vinto.
Lunch
TBD
Room 4: Ship fast, stay secure: Hidden risks in your cloud-native Java stack
Cloud-native Java is faster than ever with Quarkus, K8s, and AI assistants. But rapid delivery shifts the security landscape. Speed is great, but it demands a new approach to staying secure.
Room 2: Agentic AI In Action
Dive into the transition from standard generative AI to multi-agent systems capable of active decision-making and orchestrating complex, cross-domain workflows. Using concrete use cases, we will show how a unified open-source platform orchestrates multiple specialized agents with comprehensive security and governance.
Room 1: Lessons from Red Hat Engineering on AI-first software development
AI is collapsing SDLC loops from days to minutes. Learn how Red Hat navigates this shift, optimizes feedback, and uses new frameworks to lead in an AI-driven world.
Room 5: Workshop: Cloud Native Java Development with Quarkus
Modernize Java with Quarkus! Solve slow startups and high memory for Cloud Native/Serverless. Learn to build with Kafka/DBs and deploy to K8s. Basic Java helps, no Quarkus/K8s experience needed.
Room 4: AgentOps on Red Hat AI
TBD
Room 2: Trust No One (Except Your Pipeline): Securing the Supply Chain in Action
Secure your supply chain with Red Hat’s Advanced Developer Suite. We’ll demo SBOMs, TAS signing, and TPA vulnerability management. Don't just trust—verify your code with cryptographic proof.
Room 2: Protecting Data In Use with Trusted Execution Environments
Confidential Computing protects data in use via hardware-backed TEEs. Using Red Hat and Intel® TDX, ensure workload integrity and isolation from infrastructure owners. Secure your data at scale.
Room 1: Taming your Linux lifecycle management with RHEL Image Mode and CI/CD Patterns
Automate Image Mode for RHEL with Tekton, GitHub, or Jenkins. Use Ansible for scalable, secure builds. Learn to apply CI/CD for reliable RHEL deployments.
Room 1: What's New in AAP 2.7?
In this session we present what is new in Ansible Automation Platform v2.7 and a peek at what comes next
Room 4: Developer Lightspeed
...
Networking, drinks & appetizers in the foyer
Room 2: ITQ - Sit, Stay, Deploy: Teaching a Robot Dog with OpenShift AI
See ITQ’s Project Q9 framework train and deploy gesture models for a Unitree G2 Pro robot dog. Discover GPU orchestration and OpenShift AI in action, capped by a live demo.
Room 1: What's new in OpenShift virtualization
In this session, we talk about new features in OpenShift virtualization.
