On 25th September, during the Red Hat Summit: Connect 2025 in Brussels, CIONET is hosting an exclusive, invitation-only round table for leading CIOs, CTOs, and digital leaders. While the Summit offers a broad programme, this CIONET session is a separate, distinct event, conducted in its own dedicated room with private catering, ensuring a focused and confidential peer-to-peer discussion. This round table will delve into why certain cloud-native techniques offer undeniable benefits, irrespective of where your applications are deployed, be it on-premise, in a hyperscale cloud, or a hybrid environment. Even outside public clouds, these modern, modular architectures consistently deliver increased agility, enhanced scalability, and quicker time-to-market. The real power behind these advantages lies in automation. When done properly, automation significantly boosts team efficiency, improves system quality, and drastically cuts risks from slow systems or downtime. However, achieving truly effective automation comes with its own set of challenges, which we'll address head-on. Key Discussion Points Include: "No-Regret" Cloud-Native Pillars: We'll try to pinpoint essential techniques every organisation should adopt, such as microservices architecture, containerisation (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), API-first design, stateless application design, and immutable infrastructure. Why are these crucial for modern applications, no matter the deployment location? Strategic Vendor Lock-in: How to judiciously manage vendor lock-in. For new innovations and applications with a relatively short life expectancy, leveraging the latest unique features of a hyperscale cloud might be beneficial. For long-lived applications (expected to be live for decades), the focus might shift to limiting exposure by utilising generally available technologies. Automation Anywhere: How can organisations effectively implement automation strategies to unlock the full potential of cloud-native initiatives across diverse infrastructures? What are the biggest hurdles, and how are leaders overcoming them? This CIONET round table offers a unique and intimate setting for digital leaders to gain critical insights, exchange perspectives, and shape the strategic path towards application modernisation that truly offers no regrets.

Siemens automates communication security with Red Hat Ansible
Siemens, a global technology company, uses public key infrastructure (PKI) technology to secure communications internally and with third-party partners and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. To simplify and better automate its PKI environment, Siemens replaced its legacy automation solution with Red Hat Ansible Automation.
Siemens is a global technology company focusing on electrification—from power generation, transmission, and distribution to smart grid solutions and the efficient application of electrical energy—as well as the areas of medical imaging and laboratory diagnostics. The company is the 10th largest software company in the world and a leader in intelligent infrastructure and sustainable energy.
Digitalization is a key component of Siemens’ vision for the future. One of the tools that supports this vision is public key infrastructures (PKIs), a collection of processes and policies for creating, using, managing, and storing digital certificates and other secure communications components.
The company is increasingly using PKIs to also secure Internet of Things (IoT) communications and now maintains two PKI environments for these different use cases. Additionally, communication between a greater variety of service teams is increasing. These changes have created additional complexity, particularly for configuration, increasing workloads for Siemens’ PKI team.
To support this growth in PKI use, Siemens sought a more robust automation solution that would help its teams accommodate demand while reducing configuration complexity.
Siemens chose to replace its legacy automation solution for its PKI environment with Red Hat Ansible Automation. This simple, agentless IT automation solution supports configuration management and other IT functions and automates repetitive tasks for complex deployments. Ansible also offers a userfriendly management interface that can integrate with other services for full visibility into IT automation.
Working with Red Hat Consulting helped Siemens optimize its new Ansible Automation deployment to work effectively in its Windows-based PKI environment. Siemens worked closely with Red Hat consultants to learn how to use infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices to write and test playbooks, with all hardening measures now scripted in Ansible. As a result of these improvements, the company anticipates that its time to market will improve.
Digital Transformation is redefining the future of health care and health delivery. All stakeholders are convinced that these innovations will create value for patients, healthcare practitioners, hospitals, and governments along the patient pathway. The benefits are starting from prevention and awareness to diagnosis, treatment, short- and long-term follow-up, and ultimately survival. But how do you make sure that your working towards an architecturally sound, secure and interoperable health IT ecosystem for your hospital and avoid implementing a hodgepodge of spot solutions? How does your IT department work together with the other stakeholders, such as the doctors and other healthcare practitioners, Life Sciences companies, Tech companies, regulators and your internal governance and administrative bodies?
