Overview How can we secure the integrity of our Software Supply Chains and have confidence that our software has not been tampered with and can be traced to its source? Which are the main parts of the software supply chain security? Before explaining how to secure the Software Supply Chain, we need first to understand […]

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes Motivation Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF), previously Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage, is a software-defined persistent storage solution for OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) workloads. In this article you’ll learn how to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices on a disconnected VMware cluster. An air-gapped or disconnected network […]
When I talk to colleagues, partners and customers in this age there are not a few who say that their company is going “all in” into the cloud. Faster, cheaper, more dynamic. It is just better. Migration to the cloud will take some time but they have started the process and it looks “good”. But […]
It is widely accepted that using a hybrid- and multi-cloud approach is needed to increase flexibility and reduce the dependency on any single vendor. However, most organizations struggle to operate effectively across clouds, with environments often being disconnected silos with varying primitives, APIs, and management tools. Thus, moving workloads and data between clouds, and implementing […]
The article shows code examples for two parts, how Ansible supports the ramp-up of a Selenium hub as well as you can test your automated testing infrastructure using Molecule
When I try to look into the future, what would I see for a datacenter? What are the requirements the data centers need to comply with? What can a solution look like? In the coming text I will try to give answers to those questions. Executive summary In the coming years the usage of services […]
tl;dr To ensure application consistency for distributed (multi hybrid) cloud environments, streamline your target platform from the bottom up. This helps you dealing with the Moving Target Platform Dilemma (MTPD). As mentioned in the previous article, using the SaaS Kubernetes (K8s) offerings from cloud providers (such as EKS, AKS, GKS) causes your application services to […]
This blog kicks off a series of 4 blog articles. They will all be available here, as soon as they get published. Run: Get your Angular, Python or Java Dockerfile ready with Red Hat’s Universal Base Image and deploy with Helm on OpenShift Develop: The Inner Loop with OpenShift Dev Spaces Build: From upstream Tekton […]
tl;dr You want to gain flexibility by leveraging the K8s offerings from multiple hyperscalers (“cloud providers”) for your application. You gain a bunch of inflexibility by assuring your application behaves equally on all these K8s target platforms. I remember the days as a Java developer when we had to ensure our applications (quite often pre-Spring […]
Although OpenShift becomes more and more known, there still are quite some people who are not fully aware about OpenShift and how it works. In addition to the common methods of presentations (“slides on beamers”), there are always opportunities to make software or processes in software more visible and tangible. So we show a slide, […]
