Operationalizing Enterprise Cloud at Scale

2021 is a planning year. It’s about being reflective on the decisions that were made during the pandemic and choosing which ones to operationalize. Many corporations will be exiting public cloud experiments, or proofs of concept, in 2021 and moving into production. This sums up 2021: it’s to get ready for 2022, the year of the great enterprise cloud scale up. But to scale you need to operationalize and automate.  In this ONUG C-level roundtable learn what decisions made in 2020 will be operationalized to…

You Asked For It, and You Got It, Now What Do You Do With It? Telemetry in the Cloud Era

It used to be that you had to beg and plead to get telemetry feeds from your infrastructure, your applications, frankly anything. Now EVERYTHING has a telemetry feed, sometimes it’s even in an ‘open’ format. You’re drowning in data, correlation is uncorrelated, and it’s just sitting in S3 buckets making Jeff happy, but no-one else. We’ll be talking with Truman Boyes from Major League Baseball about strategies on how to correlate telemetry, what telemetry is actually useful, and more importantly, how to extract meaningful intelligence…

The AIOps Journey. Are you Being Left Behind?

What is your AIOps journey?   The ONUG AIOps Working Group developed an AIOps customer journey map, with input from the ONUG community.   You can use this map to find out where you are versus others in the use of AI to automate infrastructure operations.  During this session you will learn about the AIOps journey, where most get stuck, how best to get unstuck and a playbook which will serve as a guide to the successful AIOps project(s).   

Elastic Infrastructure: Re-defining the Process for Enabling People and Applications for the Future

Over the winter, the Elastic Infrastructure Working Group developed the playbook for networking in the post Covid world. With Remote Workforces (RWF) staying remote and large corporations selling campus and headquarter facilities, etc., a new set of networking requirements has emerged from data center to multi-cloud connect to home office to IoT. Zero trust security, 5G, multi-cloud networking, SASE, edge computing, network services as cloud-based overlays, etc., are all coming together to deliver a more agile and elastic infrastructure. In this session, you will receive…

Operationalizing Orchestration and Automation

The Orchestration & Automation (O&A) Working Group is identifying tools that extend orchestration and automation across on- and off-prem deployments into hybrid/multi-cloud environments. During 2021, the O&A Working Group developed the playbook for IT organizations to orchestrate and automate infrastructure across multi-cloud environments.  In this session, you’ll see demonstrations of what is possible today and hear how to operationalize infrastructure automation for scale.

Decorating Multi-Cloud Security Notifications

Cloud Security Notification Framework (CSNF) is an open source cloud security reporting system that has the support of most of the CSPs. CSNF defines common definitions and syntax of cloud security events/alerts and alarms.  CSNF “decorator” these security events/logs etc so they can be ingested by a large number of tools to drive  new dashboards so security teams may assess their multi-cloud security posture. The CSNF decorator provides translation and log enrichment services to increase multi cloud security visibility and reduce SecOps toil. Its use…

Transforming a Global Enterprise to a Fully Automated State – EY with Gluware Keynote Presentation

Open Multi-Cloud Security Notification

There is a wall of worry descending upon every large enterprise.   As their public cloud  consumption increases so too does the volume of security alerts, notifications, events etc.  There are no common definitions of similar cloud security notifications, driving up tool and personal bloat.  There is no cloud loop feedback between cloud providers and their tenants for GRC (Governance, Risk and Controls).  This notification crisis increased the gaps between CSPs to the point where their tenants do not have minimal viable security posture.  There…

Orchestration and Automation Is Now Driving Underlay Infrastructure Purchasing Decisions

Over the past 12 months it’s become clear that underlay infrastructure purchase decisions have shifted away from speeds and feeds toward orchestration and automation.   Automation platforms from Gluware, Itential, VMware VCF, Cisco’s NSO plus ACI, Hashi et al are now the driving factor as to which underlay vendor to choose.   In this session we talk about this shift and how to approach underlay infrastructure plan, build and run.
