From complex to cloud-native: Reasons infra leaders choose immutable infrastructure for kubernetes
In this keynote, discover how immutable infrastructure combines the control of your own infrastructure with the convenience of cloud-native operations. Learn how to maximize datacenter ownership while freeing your teams to focus on business value, not platform management.
Eliminate configuration drift and security risks
Stop fighting unpredictable infrastructure failures caused by manual changes and configuration inconsistencies. Learn how immutable systems ensure every node is identical, eliminating the security vulnerabilities that come from unknown configurations.
Focus engineering teams on business value
Transform your expert teams from infrastructure firefighters into business value creators. Discover how immutable infrastructure lets your best engineers work on innovation instead of platform maintenance and troubleshooting.
Achieve predictable, production-ready operations
Master the technology patterns that guarantee: if it works in testing, it works in production. Learn how to apply proven containerization principles to your entire physical infrastructure for bulletproof reliability.
Immutable infrastructure: predictable operations, zero configuration drift
Complex infrastructure creates unpredictable failures. Manual patches, configuration changes, and “quick fixes” accumulate into chaos. Every server becomes unique, security vulnerabilities multiply, and your expert teams spend time firefighting instead of innovating.
This keynote shows how to transition to immutable infrastructure that eliminates configuration drift and brings cloud-native reliability to your entire datacenter, not just your applications.
Learn how to build infrastructure operations that are truly predictable, where your production environment perfectly matches your testing environment every single time.
Achieve full sovereignty across your infrastructure
Infrastructure leaders face impossible choices: maintain control but sacrifice agility, or embrace cloud convenience but lose sovereignty. Immutable infrastructure changes this equation completely.
This keynote reveals how to maintain ownership of your hardware and datacenter while gaining the benefits of Managed Services. Learn how immutable systems give you complete control over your data, technology choices, and operations without vendor dependency.
- Eliminate configuration drift while maintaining full ownership of your infrastructure and data
- Build cloud-native operations without sacrificing control or flexibility to external vendors
- Enable your teams to focus on business value while keeping infrastructure governance in-house
