EC News DeskOn September 28, Global CIO Forum in association with Red Hat and Ingram Micro, successfully hosted the Pace Up to the Digital Future with Automation and Containerisation WebSummit. The virtual summit discussed how automation and containerisation together can speed up the pace of innovation.
The paradigm shift to containers is more than just a wave in technology. This change has had its root in a deep-driven cultural change amongst the IT leaders in an organisation. According to RedHat, as businesses start to adopt more container technology and even build on it, they become more interested in how to combine this tool with virtual machines, where most workloads are currently running.
Containerisation has a great role to play in shaping the digital future. It not only helps companies to accelerate and ease the onboarding of applications but also significantly improve the training of DevOps teams, and deploy AI and data workloads.
