Session Abstract

Developer Experience @RedHat: Driving Developers productivity

Ramakrishna Yekulla

Ameeta Roy

Red Hat supports a cloud-first approach to cloud-native development as it relates to the multicloud and hybrid cloud challenges developers face today. This support includes how Red Hat removes friction and provides solutions that help application teams deliver value in less time and for less cost. In this keynote, we'll share:

1. The full life cycle of a developer from creating a new application, iterating it, and then supporting a security-focused software delivery pipeline.

2. Developer productivity with containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift.

3. Tools to meet developers where they are, including IDEs (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ, Hosted), CLIs, and WebUIs.

4. Hosted offerings that provide a frictionless experience for developers to experiment and iterate over their cloud-native applications.

Rapid Experimentation for Modern Cloud Native Applications

Ashutosh Badwe

Yashwanth Maheshwaram

Over the last couple of years, our industry faced many naysayers doubting that Java is ready for today's, let alone tomorrow's application development requirements. Too rigid, too fat, too slow, and too resource hungry were the usual suspects to question Java's "fitness" for developing cloud-native applications targeting Kubernetes. One day, Quarkus came along to demonstrate the exact opposite. Join this fast-paced session to learn about Quarkus, which is a new breed of Java application development framework. It builds upon well-established standards and technologies as well as battle-tested libraries, many of which you might already master or at least be familiar with. If you want to experience some of the goodness and love that Quarkus offers and brings to modern application development with Java, this talk is for you. After this session, you'll have a first impression about what it means and how it feels to develop supersonic subatomic Java applications.

Secure your app: DevSecOps Trusted application supply chain

Ramya Raghuveera

Ramakrishna Yekulla

Kubernetes is complex! Developing new containerized applications or refactoring existing ones, and replatforming the software supply chain can take months of effort and a high level of expertise. Join this session to learn more about how Red Hat is evolving its supply chain to build and deliver its own software, and bringing it to you as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. This new offering will simplify your journey so that in a matter of minutes, you can onboard your application to Red Hat's secure software supply chain.

View and change source code in Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) built on Visual Studio Code (VSC). Automate the build-test-deploy cycle using GitOps and build-test pipeline modules as you iterate your application with new features and fixes.
 

From zero to hero in Kubernetes-native Java

Anuva Ambastha

Dinakar Guniguntala

More than 16.5 million Java™ developers are directing a tremendous amount of time and effort to optimizing application performance for a variety of workloads in the cloud—including web, mobile, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and edge. Due to a lack of compatibility with Java, developers are experiencing issues adopting a new programming language or runtimes over Java. In this session, you will explore how developers can:

1. Scaffold a Java project from scratch.

2. Support a Java project's evolution as a Kubernetes-native application. This includes optimizing resources with the native build, integrating Kubernetes manifest (ConfigMap, secrets, and health checks), building container images, and deploying it to Kubernetes.

3. Continue testing and debugging the application while it’s already deployed to the remote Kubernetes—the same as the local developer experiences of inner loop development.

Event Driven Ansible

Ganesh Nalwade

Himanshu Yadav

Event-Driven Ansible connects sources of events with corresponding actions via rules. Ansible Rulebooks define the event source and explain—in the form of conditional “if-this-then-that” instructions—the action to take when the event occurs. Based on the rulebook you design, Event-Driven Ansible recognizes the specified event, matches it with the appropriate action, and automatically executes it. Actions can optionally include executing existing Ansible Playbooks, templates, or modules to extend value from your trusted automation. Join us in exploring the power of Ansible and Event-Driven Ansible to efficiently manage your applications across cloud or traditional infrastructures. Gain valuable insights into leveraging Ansible's potential and ensuring seamless automation throughout your entire application ecosystem.

Using Argo CD and GitOps to control and customize your Kubernetes clusters and applications

Ritesh Shah

GitOps describes the process of using Git to store declarative configuration files that are used to reliably configure infrastructure and applications via continuous deployment (CD) workflows in cloud-native environments. Argo CD project, enables organizations to implement GitOps-based continuous delivery workflows to manage their Kubernetes instances and applications across multicluster Kubernetes environments.

This session introduces attendees to Argo CD, and provides a hands-on experience where they will learn How to use GitOps to customize and manage a Kubernetes cluster and How to deploy and manage applications using Argo CD.
