Many technical presentations simply talk about the benefits of automation and DevOps through bullet point concepts, diagrams, and discussion.

In contrast, this presentation demonstrates the automation of a container-based application on a Kubernetes platform. We will discuss and demonstrate some of the key components and considerations of a DevOps enabled environment.

We walk through a tangible reference implementation to demonstrate the following:

• Ansible-based deployment automation
• Pipelining
• Automated Testing
• Quality Analysis
• Continuous Deployment
• Application Health
• Monitoring and Alerts

Coffee and breakfast items will be available.

Technology Stack Demonstrated

The reference application is microservice based (but most of the concepts apply to any application architecture), using Java and Spring Boot/Cloud, and will be deployed in an OpenShift cluster.

RedHat's OpenShift will be used as the Kubernetes distribution, however, that is not the main emphasis of the presentation. The principles discussed are applicable to cloud enablement on any platform.

Who Should Attend

Managers, Developers, Architects, and Operations Personnel who are interested in implementing a DevOps-centric platform.
