Applications and data are being modularized into microservices and moved to multiple public clouds. In some cases, they are also being distributed to the network edge. They are increasingly being consumed from multiple software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers too. With applications and microservices popping up across all domains, the network should be seen as a growing set of interconnected “nerve clusters” situated where the data is, which could be anywhere along the edge-cloud continuum. The new network needs to be able to securely connect within and between... Learn More

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Policy as Code (PaC) are two important trends in the field of IT operations. IaC is the practice of provisioning, configuring, and managing infrastructure using code, while PaC is the practice of managing policies using code. Both IaC and PaC have the potential to automate and simplify IT operations, but what is the connection between the two? This session will explore the relationship between IaC and PaC, and discuss how organizations can use these technologies together to improve efficiency, security... Learn More

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, and many organizations have adopted it as a key component of their cloud-native infrastructure. However, as Kubernetes becomes more popular, it’s essential to question whether it’s the right choice for every organization. Non-native cloud services, like Kubernetes, still require much learning and time to configure securely. Most companies struggle with this quickly as their setup resembles the old monoliths of the past that are slowly created and tend to never go away…a very non-cloud model.... Learn More

There’s a strong enterprise play for private 5G networks and there is lot of momentum in this area, but with a cast of players that is more interesting and diverse than just the leading carriers. Open RAN is also a key enabling technology to drive down the cost of the radio gear by utilizing off-the-shelf server platforms, cloud-native software stacks, etc. 5G also has APIs for exposing the state of the network to applications, which is a key enterprise requirement. AWS, Cisco and others have... Learn More
