King George, VA 22485
 

Join us for Red Hat Tech Day on July 20, as we discuss how to transform IT in a disconnected environment. Across the public sector, agencies are modernizing their applications to support mission success and deliver outstanding customer experience.

During the day's activities, we will walk you through simple ways to build, reuse and scale your automation for both Linux and Windows systems.

We will also discuss:

  • Key technology trends such as containerization, microservice architecture, CI/CD pipelines, hybrid cloud deployments
  • How containers help enable DevSecOps
You’ll learn about the best practices for containerizing C++ applications on RHEL 8, the capability for VMs and containers to coexist on one platform, and Red Hat platforms that are designed for the edge.


Be sure to reserve your spot ASAP.
