Honda Motor: Bridging The Gap Between Factory And IT [1330]
Manufacturing industries often face the challenge of quickly applying IT technology while leveraging their domain-specific knowledge. To overcome this challenge the Honda Motor Body Production Engineering Division engaged with VMware Tanzu Labs. As a result they were able to create a minimum viable product in just six weeks. Additionally, VMware Tanzu Platform (formerly VMware Tanzu Application Platform) enabled a production-ready CI/CD pipeline within two days, which was able to handle over 500 updates during this period. Finally, with the power of containerization, Honda Motor was able to develop in the cloud and release to their on-premises factory environment. In this session, we will explore Honda Motor’s digital transformation journey, including overcoming challenges and what their plans are for the future.

How To Operate Multiple Container Platform Offerings: A Field Guide [1783]
For developers there is really only one priority—getting their applications out and servicing the mission. Deciding how to get those applications into production in an efficient, secure way, is not trivial. Operating and managing those paths to production adds yet another layer of complexity. Matt Howe is an engineer at Lockheed Martin and he works on the central enterprise team for all of Lockheed that offers a diverse set of container platforms to meet various users needs. In this session, Matt partners with Alex Barbato from Broadcom to share how they think about servicing application teams from a wide set of perspectives—user capabilities, platform operating efficiencies, cost and more. Walk away ready to serve your teams with the years of experience shared.
Speakers: Matthew Howe, Full Stack Engineer, Lockheed Martin Alex Barbato, Solutions Architect, Broadcom
Making Kubernetes Simple For Developers And Protecting Your Digital Assets [1251]
Kubernetes is an amazing platform, but it was never intended to be a developer-facing platform. The industry has struggled to support developers in a way that they feel empowered, and VMware Tanzu is continuing its journey to bridge the gap between Kubernetes adoption and developer experience. Developer experience is critical to the C-suite and we see that organizations still struggle with other critical components such as security, complexity, monitoring and cultural changes when adopting containers and Kubernetes. In this session, we will see how VMware Tanzu makes your developers’ lives simpler while improving your security posture and streamlining operations. The session will also cover the risks associated with using open-source software from public repositories and how VMware Tanzu helps you mitigate those risks and protect your digital assets.
