October Taste of Training: Deploying Applications to the Cloud

Date: October 12, 2011 | REGISTER NOW

During this webinar, Red Hat Network Satellite will be used to install image files, which will be used as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization templates. The templates will be used to quickly deploy similar instances of a Java EE application into a private cloud, which when combined with a load balancing proxy server, will provide a single web application which smoothly and easily scales to meet demand. The webinar is based on a case study found in the Red Hat Cloud Architecture (CL350) course.

In this webinar, attendees will learn how:

Red Hat Network Satellite simplifies managing installations for a distributed work team;
Red Hat Network Satellite can be used to distribute 3rd party applications to Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems;
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager easily manages the creation and monitoring of multiple virtual machines; and
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager uses templates to rapidly create multiple instances of similar virtual machines.
