Critical to a company’s success are secure, well performant applications providing crucial functionality to customers and employees. Expedient updates, both for new functionality and fixes for issue resolution or security breaches, are key for seeing value. More and more applications are being modernized to leverage Kubernetes for these reasons.
But how do you modernize to rapidly release new applications and updates, while ensuring proper security and operational safeguards, especially in a multi-cloud environment? Join us on the Multi-Cloud Expedition – a Livestream series airing on LinkedIn every month leading up to VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas. On the Multi-Cloud Expedition, we’re bringing together industry and VMware subject matter experts to discuss and demo solutions to the most pressing multi-cloud challenges today.
In this seventh episode of the Multi-Cloud Expedition, join host Alexander Romero, Senior Director of Cross-Cloud Services at VMware, as he leads a discussion around automating Kubernetes platforms for operations outcomes including:
- Operational Efficiency
- Choice of Clusters with Safeguards
- Enterprise Security
- Scalability and Resilience
Additionally, we will provide an overview of Cross-Cloud Services focused content and activities planned for VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas. We are planning some great opportunities to talk with experts and view demos as well as breakout sessions designed to help on your mulit-cloud journey getting to cloud smart.
