Forced upgrades and vendor lock-in increase cost and risk, leaving leaders with budget pressure and teams stuck reacting instead of modernizing.
This session shows how an open, unified Linux foundation reduces complexity, lowers TCO, and enables modernization... without sacrificing security, compliance, or control.
What you'll learn:
- How to manage RHEL, Ubuntu, and more from one control plane (yes, really)
- How automation replaces manual patching. Without trading uptime for security
- Why agentic AI needs a standardized Linux foundation (before the hype gets expensive)
- How verifiable security (Common Criteria EAL4+) reduces risk and compliance headaches
- How open infrastructure avoids forced migrations and protects long-term cost control
- How to extend the life of existing systems instead of ripping and replacing
