Event overview:
Red Hat® User Group (RHUG) events offer a unique opportunity for Red Hat technology users to gather and discover solutions to IT challenges with subject matter experts & peers. Join the next RHUG to network and explore cutting-edge solutions for IT modernization. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your IT services while enjoying great food and building connections with industry professionals.
Join the Oklahoma City Red Hat User Group (RHUG) for a practical exploration of modern infrastructure and enterprise automation. Managing legacy workloads alongside cloud-native applications requires platforms that simplify daily operations without adding administrative friction.
We kick off with OpenShift Virtualization, highlighting the ease of managing virtual machines and containers together on a single platform. We'll examine day-to-day operations—showing how administrators eliminate tool sprawl by applying unified networking, storage, and lifecycle policies across all workloads. A live demo will showcase how intuitive VM management feels directly within the native OpenShift console.
Next, we look ahead with What’s New in OpenShift 5. Get an inside view of upcoming architectural enhancements, streamlined day-two operations, and innovations designed to future-proof your hybrid cloud deployments.
Finally, we dive into Ansible Automation Orchestrator. Learn how to bridge reactive, event-driven triggers and standard playbooks into cohesive, governed workflows. We will explore how orchestration coordinates complex IT operations, automates multi-system tasks, and maintains reliable governance across the enterprise.
Key Takeaways:
Unified Workloads: Experience the simplicity of running VMs and containers under one pane of glass.
Next-Gen OpenShift: Gain early insight into upcoming OpenShift 5 capabilities to guide platform planning.
Governed Orchestration: Connect event triggers with deterministic Ansible execution for seamless automation.
Connect with local peers, share best practices, and leave with practical strategies for your modernization roadmap!
