How to evolve your VMware estate into future-proof, open cloud infrastructure

Governance and security compliance are crucial for growing Kubernetes operations. As your team deploys more and more applications and services to your Kubernetes clusters, it’s important to establish a set of parameters to ensure security compliance, reliability, and cost control. For example, developers should be using cluster resources mindfully. AppIQ need to be scanned for critical vulnerabilities before they are shipped. Deployments need to originate from whitelisted sources. But how can you establish such control in a simple way? Without having to learn a new policy engine, or without spending time configuring complex admission controllers?

Join us to learn how Lens AppIQ eases the governance of applications deployed to your clusters, and how you can improve your velocity by focusing on your business unit and not in the tooling around it. We’ll demonstrate:

- How to set up reusable policies for your applications
- How to visualize a report when any policy is violated
- How to set up alerts to notify teams if any policy is in violation
- How to see basic insights of the compliance state of their clusters
- How to enforce policies for deployment time

Simplifying Kubernetes Application Governance with Lens AppIQ

Delivering Kubernetes on demand sounds simple. But it gets complicated fast.
- Most solutions are pretty opinionated, and (for public clouds especially) hard or impossible for users to change.
- Managing infrastructure (e.g., VMs) under Kubernetes still needs to be done (and for multi-cluster setups, it needs to be done a lot), which is slow and tends to be failure-prone.
- Updating and lifecycle-managing multiple clusters is not a picnic -- on public clouds, okay, but on private clouds? You have 99 problems.

What if we told you none of that was necessary? That you could -- in just a few steps:
- Build a system to deliver bespoke Kubernetes clusters on demand, fast, with huge flexibility in cluster composition, and with wild freedom to explore use-cases demanding worker/control plane separation, workers that run remote from backplanes, workers that run on IoT hardware?
- Make all these K8s clusters painlessly self-updating, self-scaling on private and/or public clouds, and easy to operate
- And do all this in an entirely Kubernetes-native, declarative, infra-as-code way that leverages Kubernetes itself to keep multiple clusters healthy, secure, performant, and (as relevant) resource- and cost-optimized? 

You instantly gain speed, simplified operations, improved security, lower costs, and massive flexibility for new use cases.

In this webinar, Daniel Virassamy from Team k0s explains:
- What k0s and k0smotron are and how they work
- Real life use cases for multi-cluster Kubernetes, and how they map to a k0s/k0smotron architecture on various (or multiple) infrastructures
- Components required: k0s, k0smotron operator, k0s Autopilot, k0s CAPI operator
- How to make it yours: Incredibly-simple automation recipes for making these moving parts work together -- all of which integrate with tools you're already using

Quick Steps to Engineer a Bespoke, Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Platform

One of the most common concerns about building an on-premises, private cloud is that you’ll need to buy new hardware, driving up your CapEx. The truth is that in many cases, you can build resilient, performant clouds using your existing hardware investments, thanks to the flexibility of open source cloud infrastructure software, which can run on commodity x86 equipment. However, there are important tradeoffs you need to consider before deciding to forgo new hardware purchases.

Join a Mirantis cloud architect to learn:
- The typical adjustments needed to successfully deploy on existing hardware, even if it deviates from the cloud platform’s reference architecture
- Recent advances in CPU and storage that might be critical for your use case, depending on your data, performance and availability requirements
- How the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is often lower with new hardware than when retaining legacy hardware
- How to do the math and make the right decision for your organization

Modern development teams struggle to manage applications deployed to Kubernetes. Its steep learning curve makes it difficult for developers to digest, especially when they have so many other technologies they already need to handle. Many enterprises rely on platform engineers to build self-service portals where developers can maintain their own applications. However, creating such tooling is very unpredictable, and requires significant costs, including precious engineering time and effort, which most businesses would rather spend on developing their own products, instead of the tooling around them.

In this webinar, we will discuss how Lens AppIQ is designed to solve these challenges, providing Developers a place where they can easily support their Kubernetes applications, and DevOps teams a platform where they can quickly set up governance and compliance. 

Attendees will learn:
- What is Lens AppIQ and how it works (demo)

Zero Trust for Implementors: Insights from a Pioneer’s Playbook

Zero Trust is a model for cybersecurity that treats trust as a vulnerability – replacing ‘trusted/untrusted’ architectures with complex external attack surfaces; expensive defense-in-depth strategies; and exploitable identity-based access schemes with smaller, simpler, easier to build and manage ‘protect surfaces’ around entities. Zero Trust is the US Government’s prescribed cybersecurity model, and Zero Trust is fast becoming a dominant model for telecommunications and enterprises as well.

John Kindervaag invented Zero Trust and helped design the Federal ZTA program. In this webinar, attendees will have an opportunity to hear about Zero Trust from the originator’s perspective. They’ll learn:

- What exactly is Zero Trust?
- How does Zero Trust differ from prior models, and how does it relate to well-known concepts like “Principle of Least Privilege?”
- What are the core rules of a Zero Trust architecture?
- What components typically play in implementing Zero Trust?
- How do you enable Zero Trust and also deliver software faster? 

Speakers:
