#Trailblazer - Our first for August! And...it's Red Hat's very own... Benjamin Scheerer! (Link to full convo in comments!) In our recent podcast, we had the pleasure of chatting with Benjamin Scheerer, a key player at Red Hat, a high-tech company renowned for its innovative use of #opensource software. We talked about everything from the impact of AI to essential human skills in the tech industry. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 When people outside the tech industry hear "Red Hat," they might think of the Red Hat Society. (We've ALL seen 'em!) Red Hat, the company, is a pioneer in leveraging open-source software for commercial use. Ben shared, "𝘙𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘹 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮, 𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵." 𝐁𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 Ben's career spans several years in the high-tech industry, focusing on product marketing and competitive differentiation. At Red Hat, he’s been instrumental in making products available for cloud consumption. Before Red Hat, he worked at VMware, another heavyweight in the tech space. His experience gives him a unique perspective on both the technical and marketing sides of the industry. 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 Oh, the possibilities! One of the intriguing parts of our conversation was about the role of AI in today's business environment. Ben noted, "AI is everywhere, and it's here to stay. At Red Hat, we leverage AI to enhance our offerings and support our customers. 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠." #yesAND!!! 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 We've got 4 main generations in the workforce! Understanding and adapting to different communication styles is essential. Ben shared, "Our younger generation, who lost social exposure during their formative years due to the pandemic, communicate differently. We need to be adaptable and understand these differences to foster effective collaboration." It was a great chat - and we hope you enjoy it, too! Thanks to Benjamin Scheerer for the time and Red Hat for being so awesome! #marketing #productmarketing #technology #AI #softskills #leadership #success #business #futureofwork Bruce Montgomery Gail Montgomery

This is good stuff. Observability is about more than infra and apps, it’s about the whole business process and understanding all the context of how application or infra issues affect the orgs bottom line,revenue and customer satisfaction. Dynatrace can put all of this in one place so that if a business process is failing, what is the root cause and what is the business impact.

Dynatrace's CTO, Bernd Greifeneder, is making waves by saying "shift left" is a disaster for enterprises. Instead, he advocates for "extend left," which changes how we approach observability and development. This shift could significantly impact how we integrate monitoring and testing into our pipelines, potentially reducing tool sprawl and improving overall efficiency. But, will this new approach really simplify things, or will it add more complexity? Worth keeping an eye on. #Observability #ShiftLeft #ExtendLeft #Dynatrace #DevOps https://lnkd.in/eQ5bHCiJ

Traditional endpoint architectures, originally designed with Windows systems in mind, simply cannot compete with the distributed and automated nature of today’s cloud attacks. 🌩️ 👉 Sysdig CTO & Founder, Loris Degioanni, shows us a better way. Examining the differences between traditional and modern instrumentation approaches, his latest white paper reveals why a cloud-first approach to detection & response is key. Read the full white paper to uncover how Sysdig’s cloud-first instrumentation delivers faster detections, richer context, and the agility needed to outpace modern attacks. 🔗: https://okt.to/Nrse0E
