11. Drivers for hybrid cloud
Modernization
Modernize the critical components that address
business challenges today, plan to improve IT
efficiency.
Freedom and flexibility
Hybrid cloud is trending to become the new standard,
moving workloads to where makes sense is essential
to succeed.
Speed
Move as rapidly towards the future that digital
disruptors have already staked out.
Compliance and security
Protecting the information is key to retain customers
as well as the company’s reputation on the market.
Security walks hand-in-hand with compliance and
speed, proving a path to success.
To succeed, enterprises must
• modernize without undermining
current functionality
• build applications that are digital native/
cloud native
The transformation is “led by developers
and modern DevOps deployment methods”1

development
Hybrid cloud
integration
Build on existing
investments
• Need to leverage industry-standard
cloud tooling
• Need infrastructure automation
• Need integration with x86 cloud
operations and hybrid cloud service
management
• Need self-service capabilities for
consumers
• Need to leverage profitability of
existing apps and data
• Need to satisfy internal financial
targets

16. What is Container, Kubernetes, OpenShift?
Container
A standard unit of software that packages up code and all
its dependencies, so the application runs quickly and
reliably from one computing environment to another.
Kubernetes
A portable, extensible, open-source container-
orchestration system for automating application
deployment, scaling, and management.
OpenShift
Enterprise-ready Kubernetes container platform with full-
stack automated operations to manage hybrid cloud and
multi-cloud deployments.

20. Advantages of using a container platform
Advantages of using a production-ready solution
• Reduce time to market: The solution includes tools enabling you to build, deploy,
and manage apps which reduce the development lifecycle and shorten release
cycles.
• Deliver agility to the business: Benefit from the simplicity of developing and
deploying applications across heterogeneous environments and take advantage
of clouds.
• Reduce operational costs: Using a production-ready solution, reduces the
number of testing and production servers, along with containerization,
microservices, and multitenancy. Collectively, they contribute to lower operational
and infrastructure costs.
