4 trends in action at InterConnect 2017

There are so many reasons to love IBM InterConnect. Some of the brightest people in technology will come together to talk about the trends and advancements that are shaping our industry.
Each year, InterConnect serves as a barometer for where we are as cloud technologists. And this year, I can confidently say that the outlook is very good. Here are four topics I can’t wait to discuss, along with some can’t-miss sessions you should plan to attend.
1. Open technology
Those who know me are familiar with my passion for open technology. At every layer of the cloud, IBM works with its partners to create an open and interoperable cloud — from the data center to the platform to containers and beyond.
In Las Vegas, join me on March 19 at 4 PM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) for the IBM Open Technology Summit. The summit will bring together leaders from some of the top open tech organizations, including OpenStack, Cloud Foundry, the Open Container Initiative, Linux Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

You can get the details on all the open tech sessions at InterConnect in the blog post Open tech @ InterConnect 2017 — Know before you go.
Featured sessions:

Open cloud demystified: Open source leaders tell all

2. Serverless
There’s no doubt that serverless architecture is changing the way we think about application development. But what is it? How does it work? Which workloads are suitable for a serverless architecture? If you want to keep your development teams ahead of the curve, you need to understand how serverless will shape the future. InterConnect is the perfect place to get up to speed.
Featured sessions:

Serverless architectures in banking: OpenWhisk on IBM Bluemix at Santander
Serverless, event-driven architectures and Bluemix OpenWhisk: Overview and IBM&;s technical strategy

3. DevOps
For the past few years, IBM has been leading the DevOps charge. The IBM Bluemix Garage Method has become indispensable for fueling teams’ cultural, personal and technical transformations. The IBM approach blends cutting-edge methodologies and cloud-native approaches with proven automation patterns and existing on-premises development.
I hope you’ll join me in the Cloud Theater on Monday, March 3/20 at 2 PM to discuss DevOps: The new reality for enterprise transformation. Enjoy live demos, client stories and a talk from John Comas of NBCUniversal on how his team succeeded in DevOps.
Featured sessions:

Nationwide’s DevOps transformation

4. Containers, microservices and Kubernetes
As dev teams race to find success with containers, microservices and Kubernetes, it’s critical for developers to understand how to connect the dots. At InterConnect, expect to hear plenty about the Open Container Initiative, the latest with the Cloud Native Compute Foundation and the single tenant cluster for Kubernetes. You’ll hear from the developers and architects behind IBM Bluemix Container Service, which brings these technologies together.
Featured sessions:

Architecture deep-dive into Docker containers, microservices and Kubernetes
From Docker to Kubernetes to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation: Open containers and community

These are some of the many exciting topics at InterConnect. Don’t miss this opportunity to train, network and learn about the future of cloud. If you haven’t signed up yet, register today.
