The impending release represents a decision point for many on-premises customers: Should I invest in upgrading to 11.2, or is this the right time to move to the cloud? The presentation will cover: • On-premise infrastructure impacts • Hyperion/Oracle EPM 11.2.x.x. vs. Cloud • Understanding Oracle’s Cloud strategy • Alternative cloud migration approaches We will share the most important considerations when making this decision and share some of our related real-world experience.

Introducing UrbanCode Deploy with Patterns - based on OpenStack technology, UCD with Patterns enables you to quickly leverage software defined environments based on OpenStack and other off premise clouds to improve your software delivery lifecycle.

The document discusses Software Defined Environments (SDE) which provide an approach to automating IT infrastructure through software. An SDE abstracts and virtualizes infrastructure resources, allowing applications to automatically define their requirements. This enables infrastructure that is simplified, adaptive, and responsive to changing business needs. SDEs provide agility, efficiency, and performance for modern workloads through fully programmable, integrated, and elastic resources available on demand. The document outlines how SDEs benefit both infrastructure operators and application developers by improving IT economics, security, and the speed of deploying new solutions.

The document discusses the principles and practices of CloudOps, which aims to apply DevOps principles to managing infrastructure and applications across multiple public and private clouds. It outlines some of the challenges of a multi-cloud environment and proposes a set of values and principles drawn from Agile and DevOps. These include culture, automation, lean processes, measurement, and sharing. It then provides examples of how these principles can be applied through practices like value stream mapping, source control for all artifacts, automated testing and validation pipelines, and dashboards for visibility. The goal is to establish continuous delivery of infrastructure and applications through standardized, measurable processes.

Bask Iyer, VMware's CIO, discusses how IT leaders can shift from a back office orientation to front office leadership focused on business outcomes and the customer experience.

1) Adopting DevOps, Lean, and cloud approaches can help government agencies deliver better citizen services with fewer resources by accelerating delivery of new features and getting faster feedback. 2) A DevOps approach involves applying Lean principles to get new ideas into production fast, get people to use new features, and get feedback in order to continuously improve. This allows agencies to change faster, which is an asset rather than an anchor. 3) Adopting cloud technologies helps remove bottlenecks around environment availability and provisioning, allowing standardized, lower cost, and faster delivery of applications and services.
