Are you running Linux workloads on-premises? This workshop helps you capitalize on Red Hat’s OpenShift cloud platform and how to easily move your applications to the public cloud.

Are you tired of limited lift and shift value on Azure cloud? Are you aware of "Azure Bucks" incentives available within your enterprise?

Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO) is a fully managed Red Hat OpenShift service on Azure – jointly engineered, operated and supported by Microsoft. Built upon a Kubernetes foundation and fully integrated into the Azure platform, ARO handles infrastructure and cluster management, freeing application teams to focus on delivering new software and services. ARO’s seamless integration with Azure AD, hybrid networks, existing Azure resources and CI/CD pipelines makes it an intriguing option for enterprises moving towards a cloud-first model in a complex technology ecosystem.

Perficient’s ARO Workshop provides enterprise application developers a hands-on look at the OpenShift experience within Microsoft Azure. Join us to learn more about how ARO empowers developers to innovate - building and deploying applications in a consistent environment with support for a wide range of traditional, cloud-native and serverless tools and technologies.
