Red Hat X Podcast Series

Ansible Automation Platform extends beyond traditional tools for server and software installations, to encompass the entirety of IT infrastructure, including network resources. The Infoblox BloxOne Collections for Ansible Automation Platform is a package of modules and plug-ins that allow managing BloxOne DDI objects and functions through APIs that leverage Ansible Playbooks. This enables network professionals to utilize Infoblox infrastructure for DNS automation of VMs and containerized workloads deployed across multiple platforms.
Infoblox Ansible Collections for BloxOne allows you to interact with the BloxOne DDI through APIs. DDI information is presented as variables to an Ansible Playbook: a YAML-based text file that helps to automate managed systems found in inventory. Playbooks allow an administrator to configure an entire environment by leveraging a block of code that is known as a module that executes on Linux and Windows systems, networks, and cloud instances. The Collections let an Ansible Playbook automate the provisioning of the network service infrastructure

A recent VPN advertisement ensured security by using their VPN. Join us for trust and truth in marketing, computing ethics, and pirating 30-pound cannonballs.

Zero Trust is a security strategy which is generating a lot of buzz. Supply chain security is a topic that is so critical that the US White House issued an executive order mandating it. Join Glen Kosaka, Head of Product Security for NeuVector, as he explains why these are hot topics and how they affect  the security controls for container and Kubernetes pipelines.

You can connect your Kubernetes cluster with GitLab to deploy, manage, and monitor your cloud-native solutions. The agent allows you to communicate with your cluster, enable a cache of Kubernetes objects, and much more. 

Then add in Infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning to make sure what you are deploying into your cluster won’t compromise your system.

This podcast will go over both of these concepts in order to get you deploying safer, more secure code even faster with GitLab.

As organisations grow their cloud initiatives, there is always a deadly undercurrent growing beneath the surface: waste. Multiple teams solving the same problems, over and over again, in different ways, using different technologies every time. This is remedied with a heavy dose of central control, which only leads to stifled innovation and excessive process. There is, however, a third option - platform thinking. Join Chris Cooney, Developer Advocate for Coralogix, as he discusses the power of platform thinking and how it impacts collaboration and system reliability, as it grows a community of likeminded engineers within an organisation who are set on solving a problem precisely once, and making that solution available to everyone.

Web 1,2, and 3 have privacy issues and problems with the perimeter that vanished. Aronetics features Jerod Brennen of Brennen Consulting to join our conversation that discover issues with black boxes in your home or business and the complex implicit trust. How could you secure devices on the edge on a unsecure place? Explore limits of ignorance on the edge.

It's common to hear "everything is so complicated nowadays" followed by a list of common tech industry scapegoats. Kubernetes, front end frameworks, microservices, "hip" technologies. It's a relatable reaction but beyond being cathartic it's a little off the mark. This feeling boils down to a real increase in cognitive load - and not cognitive load in terms just dealing with increasingly heavy frameworks. 
To better understand the problem, it pays to talk more holistically about cognitive load as it exists between different disciplines, experience levels, and contexts. We have to acknowledge it as a combination of technical, organizational, and psychological issues if we want to get a start on managing it. We may not have definitive solutions but there are a few adjustments to your way of thinking that can be helpful to those in the trenches.

Infrastructure is one of the four pillars of IT Modernization, along with the
Development Process, Application Architecture and Deployment methodology. Leveraging the promise of Cloud Native means using the best of each of these. However, most organizations have a spectrum of applications in their portfolio to manage from the traditional VM based to the fully Cloud Native, microservices based apps deployed in containers. The challenge for today’s CIO has is to ensure the Dev teams have access to the modern tooling, processes, and infrastructure they need, while simultaneously providing a modern platform for the traditional parts of their application portfolio. All while ensuring security, and compliance, reducing complexity, and being cost effective.

Moving to the cloud and edge comes with big rewards such as new use-cases and business opportunities. But how to efficiently build cloud and edge applications can be a confusing journey, mainly due to the lack of managed platforms that unifies Developer Experience (DX), ZeroOps Experience, and a Reactive Runtime. With Kalix, we set out to create a powerful PaaS that addresses these challenges for the cloud-to-edge continuum. An API PaaS that enables any developer with any language to build high-performance, data-centric applications without the complexity that often slows down engineering teams.

In this podcast, Dhiraj Sehgal, Director, Product and Solution Marketing for Tigera will talk
about key takeaways shared by Openshift and Calico enterprise users to address the security
and compliance issues with active security initiatives. Tigera  inventor of Calico, one of the most widely deployed Kubernetes CNI in the world with over 2M nodes and 500K clusters. Dhiraj will also touch upon how Calico and OpenShift jointly address the container security, cloud-native network security, and compliance challenges and consequently accelerate your cloud-native application deployments.
