SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end multicloud technology solutions company, will co-sponsor the Cloud — The Enabler of Innovation virtual event with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and International Air Transport Association on November 12 at 10:00 am CT. This webinar is part of the company’s Solve Thought Leadership Strategy Series.

Tolga Tarhan, CTO at Rackspace Technology, will deliver a keynote on how the cloud is necessary to maximizing the potential of forward-thinking techniques like DevOps and cloud native, as well as innovations in serverless and containers. As more customers look to these game-changing approaches in order to innovate, the role of cloud technologies and partners will become an essential factor to success.

“As technology continues to shift at a rapid pace, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for customers to keep pace with the competition,” said Tarhan. “To differentiate, organizations need to innovate by taking advantage of the full capabilities of the cloud. Companies on the frontlines of cloud technologies will be better-positioned to break through the noise and better poised for long-term growth.”

Following the keynote, Tarhan will be joined by panelists from AWS, International Air Transport Association and Rackspace Technology to discuss timely issues like the common misconceptions around cloud native, Agile methodologies, the role of people and processes in cloud innovation, and the future of serverless vs. container solutions.

“Now more than ever, organizations are turning to cloud native to help them innovate,” said Cheryl Hung, VP of Ecosystem at Cloud Native Computing Foundation and moderator of this event. “But with so many common misconceptions about the approach, its adoption can be difficult to implement. This is why it’s become so critical for businesses to have a deep understanding of cloud innovation and its benefits.”
