Gluware Proof of Concept: Using Gluware to Automate Public Cloud IaaS

In this POC we will look at how GluwareⓇ Intelligent Network Automation can be used to automate public cloud infrastructure, in this example deploying a specific pod design in AWS. Gluware leverages the integrated Terraform adapter and providers (including public clouds like AWS, Azure and Google Cloud). Using the Config Modeling app in Gluware, see how users can build and customize the required cloud constructs using the native Terraform Resources and corresponding attributes along with the Data Sources.

But your governance hasn’t changed, and the need for availability and security across this is still your mandate. While the platforms have gotten better at providing visibility, with varying degrees of parity at the feature level, the actual implementations make integrations expensive and prohibitively so when you’re working with multiple clouds. This talk will focus…

Cloud Native DevOps and Digital Transformation: Today and Tomorrow

This session explores the relationship between the imperatives of the Digital Transformation juggernaut and the well-oiled Cloud Native DevOps (CNDO)“machine.” Does successful Digital Transformation rely upon DevOps achieving its various promises? What does CNDO bring to Digital Transformation that is critical and determining? Or is any perceived connection between the two more artificial than it is real?
