DevNation Day Sessions

Keynote: “Developer Experience @redhat: Driving Developers productivity”
Speakers: Mithun T. Dhar, Natale Vinto, Ignacio Riesgo
Time: 10:15 - 10.55
Abstract: Red Hat supports a cloud-first approach to cloud-native development as it relates to the multicloud and hybrid cloud challenges developers face today. This support includes how Red Hat removes friction and provides solutions that help application teams deliver value in less time and for less cost. In this keynote, with live coding we'll share: 1. The full life cycle of a developer from creating a new application, iterating it, and then supporting a security-focused software delivery pipeline. 2. Developer productivity with containers, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift. 3. Tools to meet developers where they are, including IDEs (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ, Hosted), CLIs, and WebUIs. 4. Hosted offerings that provide a frictionless experience for developers to experiment and iterate over their cloud-native applications.

Session: The internal developer platform: Scaffolding for cloud-native development
Speaker: Hans-Peter Grahsl
Time: 11:05-11:40
Abstract: Learn how Backstage and golden paths supply a complete foundation for cloud-native development with a microservices-based architecture app. This end-to-end developer experience demo will focus on the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. We'll show how Backstage will support you with immediate signposts to components, resources, and relevant documentation. Your team can deploy the right tools and components to get to work immediately. Discover how Backstage tools help you mount your team's scaffolding and apply best practices atop. View and change source code in Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces, a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) built on Visual Studio Code (VSC). Automate the build-test-deploy cycle using GitOps and build-test pipeline modules as you iterate your application with new features and fixes.

Session: Simplifying containers and Kubernetes on your laptop with Podman Desktop
Speakers: Stevan Le Meur & Paul Holzinger
Time: 11:50-12:25
Abstract: Kubernetes is the go-to platform for scaling containers, but for developers, it can be daunting, particularly with the discrepancies between local and production environments. Podman and Podman Desktop bridges this gap. In our talk, we'll introduce Podman and unveil Podman Desktop, an open-source GUI tool that streamlines container workflows and is compatible with Podman, Docker, and more. It serves as a beginner-friendly launchpad to Kubernetes, enabling you to spin up local clusters or work with remote environments. Our demo will navigate the paths to transition from app to containers, to pods, and ultimately to Kubernetes, highlighting how it reduces discrepancies and enables predictability in your deployments by leveraging Podman and Podman Desktop's perks and security advantages. You’ll learn how you can benefit from Podman Desktop to streamline your container development processes!

Session: Fast and free experimentation for Kubernetes Applications with Red Hat OpenShift developer Sandbox
Speaker: Markus Eisele
Time: 12:35-13:10
Abstract: The developer sandbox for Red Hat OpenShift gives you no-cost access to a hosted Red Hat OpenShift cluster. This means you can learn Kubernetes, OpenShift, container-based applications, microservices, and much more. This talk will introduce you to the Sandbox, all the learning paths available, show you some of the many built-in tools and libraries, and demonstrate how to take advantage of this no-cost offering. Access Red Hat's products and technologies without setup or configuration, and start developing quicker than ever before with our new, no-cost sandbox environments.

Session: Using Argo CD and GitOps to control and customize your Kubernetes clusters and applications
Speaker: Alex Soto
Time: 13:20-13:55
Abstract: GitOps describes the process of using Git to store declarative configuration files that are used to reliably configure infrastructure and applications via continuous deployment (CD) workflows in cloud-native environments. Argo CD project, enables organizations to implement GitOps-based continuous delivery workflows to manage their Kubernetes instances and applications across multicluster Kubernetes environments. This session introduces attendees to Argo CD, and provides a hands-on experience where they will learn How to use GitOps to customize and manage a Kubernetes cluster and How to deploy and manage applications using Argo CD.

Session: Reducing Developer Cognitive Load with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Speakers: Cedric Clyburn & Max Kossatz
Time: 14:05-14:40
Abstract: To mitigate developer cognitive load amidst the complexities of software development, specialized tooling, and refined techniques are indispensable. This talk will highlight the vast toolset that RHEL offers for modern software projects. We will investigate the capabilities of varied frameworks like .NET and Quarkus for Java developers, and further examine the components that streamline the process from Operating System to a universally deployable Container approach, with a focus on tools such as Podman and the Universal Base Images. - Join us to discover how RHEL can significantly decrease cognitive overhead, foster innovation, and streamline your software development journey!

Session: From zero to hero in Kubernetes-native Java
Speaker: Kevin Dubois
Time: 14:50-15:25
Abstract: More than 16.5 million Java™ developers are directing a tremendous amount of time and effort to optimizing application performance for a variety of workloads in the cloud—including web, mobile, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and edge. Due to a lack of compatibility with Java, developers are experiencing issues adopting a new programming language or runtimes over Java. In this session, you will explore how developers can: 1. Scaffold a Java project from scratch. 2. Support a Java project's evolution as a Kubernetes-native application. This includes optimizing resources with the native build, integrating Kubernetes manifest (ConfigMap, secrets, and health checks), building container images, and deploying it to Kubernetes. 3. Continue testing and debugging the application while it’s already deployed to the remote Kubernetes—the same as the local developer experiences of inner loop development.

Session: Kubernetes Meets Event-Driven Ansible
Speakers: Alex Soto
Time: 15:35-16:10
Abstract: In today's fast-paced world, time is of the essence, and promptly responding to activities can make all the difference in meeting consumer needs and Service-Level Agreements. While Kubernetes offers a diverse range of applications for automating application delivery and implementing GitOps methodologies through tools like Tekton and ArgoCD, there are scenarios where Kubernetes may not be applicable. In such cases, Ansible emerges as the go-to IT automation solution. However, Ansible's capabilities extend beyond non-Kubernetes environments. It also plays a vital role within Kubernetes by managing workloads and effectively responding to various events such as failures and monitoring alerts. Join us in exploring the power of Ansible and Event-Driven Ansible to efficiently manage your applications, both in Kubernetes deployments and across other cloud or traditional infrastructures.

Session: Secure your app: DevSecOps Trusted application supply chain
Speakers: Natale Vinto
Time: 16:20-16:55
Abstract: Kubernetes is complex! Developing new containerized applications or refactoring existing ones, and replatforming the software supply chain can take months of effort and a high level of expertise. Join this session to learn more about how Red Hat is evolving its supply chain to build and deliver its own software, and bringing it to you as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. This new offering will simplify your journey so that in a matter of minutes, you can onboard your application to Red Hat's secure software supply chain
