Abstract:
Over the last year WebSphere became the first production-ready Java EE 7 certified runtime, and we delivered it on the cloud as well as on-premise - running in Docker containers as well as VMs on a variety of clouds. Our recent announcements at InterConnect set the direction for new hybrid cloud scenarios to access cloud services from on-premise and to manage on-premise WebSphere deployments from Bluemix, including the integration of our new API Connect technologies with WAS as part of WebSphere Connect. I'll talk about all the latest WAS announcements and discuss the strategic direction of WAS, including the evolution of portable, open and composable dockerized application patterns and our progress on putting WebSphere at the heart of every cloud.
