Deploy Modern Enterprise Applications on IBM Power with OpenShift & Multi-Architecture Compute: Seamlessly Running x86 and Power Workloads Together
Wednesday June 4, 2025 16:30 - 17:30 CEST
10 - R15
Join Paul Chapman to explore OpenShift & Multi-Architecture Compute capabilities. This session demonstrates how organizations can leverage both x86 and IBM Power architectures within a single OpenShift cluster, enabling more flexible and efficient containerized workload deployment. Through practical demonstrations including installation of Single Node OpenShift and deployment of an x86 microservices-based application on IBM Power, attendees will learn how to:

- Install Single Node OpenShift on Power systems
- Deploy x86 microservice solution on IBM Power with OpenShift Container Platform
- Migrate .NET 7.0 microservice to .NET 9.0
- Migrate microservice workloads between x86 and Power architectures

Drawing from actual customer implementations, including a major healthcare provider's success story, this session provides valuable insights for organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure while maintaining operational simplicity. Whether you're considering modernization strategies or already running mixed architecture environments, you'll gain practical knowledge about deploying and managing multi-architecture compute solutions in production.
