Agility 2022: Compelling Digital Innovations Are Now Table Stakes for the Enterprise

2022-02-04 KENNETH 0

Agility 2022: Compelling Digital Innovations Are Now Table Stakes for the Enterprise This February 15 and 16, we’re again hosting our annual customer event virtually, as we have since 2020. Agility 2022 is just one example of how lockdowns during the COVID‑19 pandemic have forced the wholesale shift of commercial and social activities online, turbocharging digital transformation. Digital transformation that simply replicates existing functionality is not enough, however. To capture the hearts and minds of customers, enterprises needed to generate compelling digital innovations, both internally and externally. Take the case of OXXO, a fast‑growing convenience store chain in Mexico. Before the pandemic, the company was opening stores at a blistering pace – roughly one store per day. When customers were no longer allowed in the stores because of lockdowns, OXXO had to switch its business model and provide the same convenience via digital storefronts. The [ more… ]

2022-02-02 KENNETH 0

Microservices March 2022: Kubernetes Networking What Is Microservices March? It’s a month‑long, free educational program designed to up‑level your knowledge of various microservices topics. (If you missed last year’s program, you can catch all the content on demand.) Why Kubernetes Networking for 2022? Getting Kubernetes into production is a top priority for many organizations. But the journey is hard and getting value can be even harder. Through conversations with our customers and community, we’ve observed that Kubernetes networking – a key component of production‑grade Kubernetes – is frequently misunderstood or underappreciated. Without a solid Kubernetes networking strategy (and the right talent in place to execute it), the most likely outcomes are downtime, security breaches, and wasted money and effort. As providers of two Kubernetes networking tools – an Ingress controller and service mesh – we’re in a great position to use our knowledge and [ more… ]
