Reclaiming control: Why the Irish government is modernising its code on bare metal with Red Hat
Join Version 1 and Red Hat for Red Hat Global Summit on May 19th 2025 in Boston, USA.
This session will showcase the work by 2021 Red Hat Innovation Award winners: the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine in Ireland. You will learn about their journey modernising on virtualised infrastructure, highlighting how bare metal has unlocked the benefits of an immutable, dynamic, and security-focused environment using Red Hat OpenShift.
This session will cover the lessons learnt on a 5-year containerisation journey, from operating a single virtually hosted cluster to operating a fleet of bare metal clusters, centrally managed and dynamically provisioned with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (ACM).
We will discuss how our traditional development and operations teams evolved and unified with the transition to Red Hat OpenShift, along with the strategies used to transform monolithic applications into cloud-native, distributed workloads.
