For many years, public clouds have been a defining factor to enable disruptive entrepreneurs to apply technology and change market dynamics. The effect of containers and popular container orchestrators like Kubernetes appear to be catalyzing how enterprises can adopt hybrid architectures that span application form factor (container vs. virtual machine) and application locality (public cloud vs. private data-center). Learn about some of the challenges faced by modern enterprises and how Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift provide a new approach to build scalable, portable workloads that are equally happy in either public cloud or private data-centers.
This session's speaker is Michael Elder presenting on the impact of cloud architectures on the modern enterprise. Michael is the IBM Distinguished Engineer for the IBM Multicloud Platform. Michael holds an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He has numerous awarded patents and has been honored with three IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement awards. He is a co-author of Kubernetes in the Enterprise published by O’Reilly. His passions include solving customer problems to enable them to provide better experiences for their users.
