From IT Service Management to DevOps
CIOs and those charged with running IT Operations are challenged to deliver
secure, audited, and reliable compute environments for the applications and
data for the business. Behind the scenes these tasks are often accomplished
by following onerous time-consuming processes and often the management of
these environments and processes will be outsourced to multiple IT service
providers. In addition, the division of work is often siloed into traditional
"towers" that are not well integrated for cross-functional purposes. So, when
traditional IT Service Management (ITSM) meets the cloud, and equally,
DevOps, there is invariably going to be conflict.
IT/ESM needs a reboot. As a factor of IT Transformation and Digital
Transformation, IT no longer stands alone - or at least in a modern workplace

How Containers Will Usher in a New Era of Cloud Computing
In his keynote at 19th Cloud Expo, Sheng Liang, co-founder and CEO of Rancher
Labs, discussed the technological advances and new business opportunities
created by the rapid adoption of containers. With the success of Amazon Web
Services (AWS) and various open source technologies used to build private
clouds, cloud computing has become an essential component of IT strategy.
However, users continue to face challenges in implementing clouds, as older
technologies evolve and newer ones like Docker containers gain prominence.
He'll explore these challenges and how to address them, while considering how
containers will influence the direction of cloud computing.

Microservices: Choosing the Right Cloud Services and Tools
We all know that end users experience the internet primarily with mobile
devices. From an app development perspective, we know that successfully
responding to the needs of mobile customers depends on rapid DevOps - failing
fast, in short, until the right solution evolves in your customers'
relationship to your business.
Whether you're decomposing an SOA monolith, or developing a new application
cloud natively, it's not a question of using microservices - not doing so
will be a path to eventual business failure. The real and more difficult
question, in developing microservices-based applications, is this: What's the
best combination of cloud services and tools to use to get the right results
in the specific business situation in which you need to deliver what your end
users' want. Considering that new strea... (more)
A New Architecture for the Internet of Things: Rethinking Your IT Framework
Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for
collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision
making and actionable information. All three are factors in making the
Internet of Things a reality. Yet, any one factor would have an IT
organization pondering its infrastructure strategy.
How should your organization enhance its IT framework to enable an Internet
of Things implementation? In his session at @ThingsExpo, James Kirkland, Red
Hat's Chief Architect for the Internet of Things and Intelligent Systems,
described how to revolutionize your architecture and create an integrated,
interoperable, reliable system of thousands of devices.

Risk Tree API: Expose Your Vulnerabilities
Vulnerability management is vital for large companies that need to secure
containers across thousands of hosts, but many struggle to understand how
exposed they are when they discover a new high security vulnerability.
Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Kevin Lewis, Principal Solution Architect
at Twistlock, addressed this pressing concern by introducing the concept of
the "Vulnerability Risk Tree API," which brings all the data together in a
simple REST endpoint, allowing companies to easily grasp the severity of the
vulnerability. He provided attendees with actionable advice related to
understanding and acting on exposure due to new high severity
vulnerabilities.

Cloud-native: A new ecosystem for putting containers into production
The standardization of container runtimes and images has sparked the creation
of an almost overwhelming number of new open source projects that build on
and otherwise work with these specifications.
Of course, there's Kubernetes, which orchestrates and manages collections of
containers. It was one of the first and best-known examples of projects that
make containers truly useful for production use. However, more recently, the
container ecosystem has truly exploded. A service mesh like Istio addresses
many of the challenges faced by developers and operators as monolithic
applications transition towards a distributed microservice architecture. A
tracing tool like Jaeger analyzes what's happening as a transaction moves
through a distributed system. Monitoring software like Prometheus captures

Supply Chain. Logistics. Provenance. Hot topics around the dinner table with the family I am sure. Okay, maybe not so much. Even so, these all impact our lives daily, while we may be blissfully unaware of it. Take the dinner table for example. That savory grilled salmon filet on your plate may have come all the way from China. Those carrots and asparagus? Possibly shipped in from Peru. The fresh (out of season) fruit? Chile or Mexico could have been the origination point. What gets all those items from their source to your dinner table, while they are still fresh, is all about the supply chain...
What if you could closely measure your retail competitor's in-store sales every day? What if you could be alerted when competitors were increasing or decreasing production at different factories or ordering more materials? Would that be valuable? If it were possible, how would it change your strategies and the way you operated?
The insane world of cryptocurrency may be chock full of schemers, scammers, and sharks, but there is more to the world of blockchain than crypto. In fact, the blockchain story is bifurcating, with crypto and all its craziness on one side, and enterprise blockchain on the other. While it may be fun to poke our stick at the former, Intellyx’s focus is on enterprise digital transformation – which means that bona fide blockchain-based business models are a key part of this ongoing story of disruption.
Wikibon just released their “2017 Big Data Market Forecast.” How rosy that forecast looks depends upon whether you look at Big Data as yet another technology exercise, or if you look at Big Data as a business discipline that organizations can unleash upon competitors and new market opportunities. To quote the research: “The big data market is rapidly evolving. As we predicted, the focus on infrastructure is giving way to a focus on use cases, applications, and creating sustainable business value with big data capabilities.”
