Compiler

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.

At home, connecting your devices to the internet is a pretty simple process. But setting up and running an enterprise network is an exercise in extreme organization and constant vigilance.

Elle Universal, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Red Hat, outlines all the considerations that come with large-scale networks that keep thousands of devices online—but also keep them protected from intrusion.

Edge computing has existed far longer than many realize. However, the proliferation of 5G networks and the mass adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have made it a cornerstone of modern infrastructure.

John Harris, who manages technology strategy at Panasonic Connect, explains how edge computing devices are quietly running the world around us, from retail stores to space exploration.

The operating system is the foundation of IT infrastructure. It affects everything built on top of it. Take good care of it, and you're on your way to a smooth platform for your application. Neglect to maintain it? Well, you might run into some problems.

Scott McBrien, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Red Hat, recalls his experiences managing the operating system over the years. He covers the consequences of forgetting to keep the OS up to date, why standardization across your hardware is key, why upgrades go wrong—and how to deal with all of the above.

What does it really take to build, maintain, and secure the invisible backbone of modern technology? In this season of Compiler, we are breaking down the reality of IT infrastructure, and examine how AI is changing the game.

Host Emily Bock is joined by Jennifer Scalf as she explores the critical elements of the stack, with some help from expert voices from across the industry.

Whether someone is setting up an environment for the first time, or trying to understand how the pieces fit together, simplifying today’s complexity is vital for managing the environments of tomorrow. The new season premieres June 4.
