Summary: In this presentation, Troy Elsen, the Director of Cloud Infrastructure Operations, discusses the impact of the new infrastructure model on moving to Maximo Application Suite. He explains that while the managed namespace in MAS remains largely unchanged, there are significant changes below that level, particularly in the container runtime. The new infrastructure model offers benefits such as consistency, scalability, portability, and a shift in mindset and skillset. Containers allow for faster startup and availability, as well as decoupling dependencies. Operators enable desired state management and scalability. Portability options range from on-premise to public cloud or hybrid solutions. The shift in mindset involves adopting a cloud-first mentality and embracing microservice architecture. Skillset changes include understanding persistence, monitoring, and licensing. Lastly, the new infrastructure model requires managing databases and offers the possibility of deploying multiple instances of different applications on a single OpenShift cluster.
