Red Hat X Podcast Series

Akka is a toolkit for building scalable, resilient, and resource-efficient applications on the JVM in Java or Scala. With Akka, you can build applications composed of a single JVM to a fleet of JVMs distributed across a cluster of servers. We will tour Akka from the humble actor up to the systems level and how Akka is used by some of the world’s most recognized brands to build distributed clustered systems composed of clusters within clusters for optimal customer experiences. 

Join us this week to learn about how Aronetics redefines security from your pocket. Learn about retaining and controlling your security system to take action against unknown future events. 

In this conversation, Jim Walker (@jaymce, Principal Product Evangelist at Cockroach Labs) discusses how serverless has moved from compute to backing data services, and focuses on improving application developer productivity. Plus, we address why developers love consuming a serverless SQL database, how CockroachDB thinks about serverless, and what the future of application development is going to look like with a serverless SQL database.

Traditionally, enterprise observability solutions have required event data to be routed to back-end storage before any centralized analysis and reporting could take place. First Mile Observability shifts this whole process left, enabling observability immediately when and where the data is created. This empowers the enterprise with immediate, actionable intelligence on system performance and real-time troubleshooting and performance optimization. As a bonus, First Mile Observability solutions from Calyptia, powered by open source Fluent Bit and Red Hat OpenShift, can leverage your existing IT infrastructure.

Starburst Galaxy is a self-service platform that provides all the benefits of the best-in-class MPP SQL engine, Trino, on an easy to use, fully-managed and enterprise-ready SaaS platform designed by the open source project’s original creator and its experts. Users can end their data silos by querying their data across sources and clouds to open doors to new insights.

As Kubernetes becomes more and more popular there’s a growing need to address compliance concerns. While development teams face constant demands based on customer and organizational equirements, they must also ensure that data and systems adhere to mandates and frameworks like GDPR, NIST 800-53, HIPAA and others. The only way to keep up is to automate processes everywhere possible – including compliance.

During this podcast we’ll discuss the current and future state of compliance requirements and how developers can use a template-based approach to simplify the administration and management of compliance.

It seems like everyone is moving to modern application architectures. What modern means can vary from person to person, but you can safely assume it is going to involve cloud native and kubernetes. While there are many upsides to these architectures, they do add a new level of complication to observability and troubleshooting. With constant changing and evolving applications and infrastructure you need to approach troubleshooting differently. 

Kubernetes delivers the greatest flexibility and agility of any infrastructure, but with it comes a level of complexity that makes it impossible to manage manually at scale. Andrew Hillier, co-founder and CTO of Densify, will discuss the latest thinking around capacity operation and how to best handle capacity management for these environments.

Empowering developers to use the tools and services that they are comfortable using is mandatory in today’s application development world. How can security team gain observability in the highly distributed system where the definition of perimeter is not easy to define?
Gain an understanding of what Machine Identity Management means to an organization where there is an ever growing ecosystem of application development and deployment stack.
