Compiler

Forget the high-stress fire drills and chaotic, late-night maintenance shifts. Not only does automation provide identical, predictable environments—it acts as a structured foundation for security and compliance, turning daunting, multi-step manual processes into reliable push-button tasks. But what happens when we combine automation and AI?

Global automation strategist Chad Ferman joins the show to demystify how automation and artificial intelligence can work together, rather than competing.

Virtual machines are not just the power behind legacy infrastructure. They are becoming a vital pillar for GPUs, which are integral to large language models.

Maria Bracho, CTO for industries at Red Hat, explains how virtualization, far from being replaced, has adapted to leverage the robust and powerful computing behind artificial intelligence.

It’s tempting to treat compliance as a simple checklist. But treating it as an afterthought can be dangerous, and can damage customer trust.

Prioritizing both compliance and security in your infrastructure lifecycle from the start is essential—especially as threats become more sophisticated. Rhiannon Holley, cybersecurity department chair at Fayetteville Technical Community College, joins the show to emphasize why human critical thinking remains irreplaceable.

All the containers and pods you're spinning up need wrangling. An orchestrator is going to help you manage them: starting up new ones when the demand calls for it, and shutting them down when they're no longer needed. But those are only the most basic functions an orchestrator provides.

Paolo Santos, Assistant Vice President of Architecture and Quality Engineering at Globe Telecom, shares how they set up their orchestration platform—and how it's helped them take full advantage of cloud-native infrastructure.

As it turns out, breaking up your application into a bunch of tiny pieces can be way more efficient than running it as a monolith. Thanks to containers, organizations can fine-tune their IT resources to match demand. But setting up and managing a containerized infrastructure is no small task.

Cedric Clyburn, Red Hat Open Source Engineer and Developer Advocate, talks us through why containers now dominate cloud computing—and shares some advice on how to keep track of them all.
