To better support the NNSS, however, they needed to modernize their back-office systems. Find out how MSTS and systems integration partner Mythics are transforming a complex government entity with a move to Oracle Cloud ERP and HCM. We cover their decision process to move to the cloud and discuss the solution that was built using Oracle SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS to provide a complete cloud-based business solution.

Multicloud Management with Ansible [THR1608] - Thursday, September 21, 1:05 pm - 1:25 pm PDT

Presented by Erik Benner, Vice President, Enterprise Transformation and Oracle ACE Director (Mythics)

Ansible is popular for multi-cloud management because of its ability to automate the entire stack—from infrastructure to application deployment—across different cloud environments. Included with Oracle Linux is Oracle Linux Automation Manager (OLAM), which supports multiple cloud providers, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and lets users manage infrastructure across multiple clouds from a single platform. OLAM is secure, not requiring any agents on managed systems, making it easier to manage multi-cloud environments. Learn how to use OLAM to manage both on-premises and cloud-based workloads, focusing on the security capabilities and the ease of deploying Ansible playbooks with enterprise capabilities.

Presented by Gursewak Sokhi, Technical Product Manager, Oracle Linux and Virtualization (Oracle) and Erik Benner, Vice President, Enterprise Transformation (Mythics)

With the number of cyberattacks surging, protecting your infrastructure is essential. Security threats never take a break, but what if you could stay ahead of them? We examine some of the main features and tools you can use to secure and harden your Linux OS. Oracle Linux ships with secure defaults and brings top-notch security features like Oracle Ksplice zero-downtime patching and known exploit detection. We also review a zero-trust security model, security reporting, and intrusion detection. Take part in discussions and demonstrations covering tasks like Ksplice patching, FIPS mode, file access control lists, and secure boot.
