Cloud-Native Modernization

In today's fast-paced business environment, cloud computing has become a critical component for many organizations. As companies embrace the cloud, it's important to understand the various cloud architecture frameworks available and choose the one that best fits your business needs. Using the right cloud architecture framework can help you achieve greater scalability, reliability, security, and cost-effectiveness.

The public cloud offers so many services and features that it can be overwhelming to navigate. From microservices and event-driven architecture to serverless, containers, and modern compute, choosing the best tools for your needs is by no means easy.

In this session, join Marius Zaharia (Cloud Solutions Architect & Principal Engineer at Societe Generale) to get insights into the Modern Architecture and explore the factors you should consider when deciding what cloud architecture framework is best for your business needs.

Topics for discussion include:

- The fundamentals of Modern Architecture and how it can help you make sense of the modern cloud landscape.
- How to evaluate and choose the best approach for your needs, from microservices to serverless to containers and beyond.
- Best practices for designing and implementing cloud architecture.

As organizations continue to evolve and innovate, the need for agile integration solutions becomes increasingly important. In this webinar, Digibee’s CTO and Co-founder, Peter Kreslins, and Head of Market Strategy, Matt Durham, will share insights on modern integration architecture and its role in driving organizational agility.
Attendees will learn about the five key principles of modern integration architecture: decentralization, empowerment and enablement, low code, ecosystem-driven, and continuous activity. The session will also cover the importance of democratizing technology and empowering citizen developers while maintaining governance and guardrails.

To wrap up the conversation, Digibee leadership will delve into how an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) can help organizations achieve modern integration architecture and improve their agility.

DataStax and Temporal are on a mission to help developers build durable, resilient apps that never fail, no matter how fast they scale or how demanding the business. But building reliable apps can be complex, creating obstacles and delays for developers working under intense pressure.

Temporal and DataStax are delivering a new programming model for developers: cloud-native, invincible apps, without the burden of complexity, helping you focus on what you do best: building great software, fast. Join us and hear:

- Temporal’s durable execution paradigm provides extreme reliability, and makes it trivial or unnecessary to implement distributed systems patterns like event-driven architecture, task queues, sagas, circuit breakers, and transactional outboxes.
- DataStax’s Astra platform provides the tools to build out real-time systems.
- Temporal and DataStax together provide a robust platform on which to build scalable, fault-tolerant applications.

We’ll also explore why Temporal chose Cassandra as the highly-reliable, scalable database for their own platform. And how this combination can deliver invincible apps for your business as well.

The Global Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market size is expected to reach $21.2 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 18.6% CAGR. Adopting cloud-native architectures can significantly reduce IT costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase development speed and agility—although, they also introduce security risks, such as vulnerabilities in containers, microservices, and APIs.

Implementing the proper security measures in this context requires a cloud-native security approach, in which solutions are purpose-built for cloud environments and can leverage automation and machine learning to detect and respond to security threats in real-time.

Watch this exclusive Fireside Chat with experts from Cisco and BrightTALK to discover the key to unlocking cloud-native application modernization in today’s sprawling environments, alongside a discussion on how to formulate a cloud-native app security protection plan.

The cloud native development ecosystem is expanding at an unprecedented and chaotic pace. With access to increasingly powerful technologies, developers should be well-positioned to drive innovation forward and work more creatively than ever. However, the problems they are attempting to solve have become more complex than ever, creating friction in the innovation process and limiting developers' ability to deliver.

In this session, Suzanne Daniels shares her insights on how organizations can overcome these challenges and improve developer velocity. She will discuss three key solutions that organizations can use to help their developers be more productive and explains how to combine them using an internal developer portal.

Topics for discussion include:
- Why platform engineering is not just "the new DevOps," and why it's essential to improving developer velocity.
- How to improve collaboration between developers and other teams to streamline software development and speed up innovation.
- How a developer portal can help organizations embrace chaos, foster collaboration, and integrate solutions for greater productivity.

In the digital era of business, IT infrastructure and reliability are critical to success. However, with increasingly complex and dynamic environments to grapple with, maintaining IT reliability in enterprises is challenging.

As the rate of innovation continues to speed up, open-source observability tools are transforming IT operations, creating clarity from chaos, by providing insights into potential issues before they become problems.

In this session, Atulpriya Sharma (CNCF Ambassador) shares insights and best practices for leveraging open-source observability tools to optimize IT operations in modern enterprises.

Join this session to:
- Explore the role of observability in driving IT reliability
- Understand the four pillars of observability and explore popular open-source observability tools
- Hear case studies, demonstrating the real-world impact of open-source observability on IT reliability and
- Discover how to leverage community-driven advancements in open-source observability to optimize enterprise IT operations
- And more...

We're told that a "DevOps culture" involves developers fully embracing operations, and understanding how their applications are deployed and maintained. In the cloud, however, anyone who has looked at the CNCF landscape recently will probably have given themselves a headache!

The number of technologies available to solve cloud native application deployment problems is as dazzling as the number of problems is terrifying. How can a development team be product-centric and work on improving their applications all the time whilst still keeping a DevOps mindset and maintaining a secure, cost-effective cloud native platform?

The answer is in creating a platform to assist them. But platform engineering as a discipline has been around a long time, and has so far not succeeded in freeing up development teams. Why is this? What needs to change? I'll discuss the concept of product-centric teams and the developer platform, and go through a few major and important points to consider when setting up a platform of your own.

Key takeaways:
- The cloud native landscape is too complex for developer teams to fully understand and also be productive to their business area.
- There must be a platform team to support them.
- The platform team must be agile and must be customer-centric.

Kubernetes security is crucial in ensuring the safety and integrity of your organization's data and systems. However, keeping up with the latest security threats and vulnerabilities can be a daunting task. This is where Kubernetes Goat comes in - a "vulnerable by design" Kubernetes Cluster environment that allows you to practice and learn Kubernetes security in a hands-on way.

In this webinar, Pragmatic Security Leader Madhu Akula presents the latest version of Kubernetes Goat and demonstrates how to use it to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in Kubernetes and containerized environments. He will cover various attack scenarios and real-world vulnerabilities and show how Kubernetes Goat scenarios can be mapped with them. The session will also explore open-source security tools that can be used to write secure code and deploy secure containers in production.

Key Takeaways:
- Gain practical, hands-on experience with Kubernetes security through 25+ offensive and defensive scenarios.
- Learn about the latest security threats and vulnerabilities in containers, Kubernetes, and cloud-native environments.
