 Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sorry for the technical problems. Let's start. My name is Alessandro Silva from Red Hat. I'm a Cloud success artist. My job is support strategic customers in Latin America. In this session, we are going to talk about Red Hat certification program for OpenStack platform and how this certification program can improve your queries and empower your companies with knowledge and abilities. This is our agenda for today. So before to talk about certification, we have to introduce some challenges, meaning for business, operation, and developers. The business are searching for more flexibility for delivery services and help sales team. Business are asking for delivery services faster. And in the other hand, developers are asking for delivery application with more productivity and faster provisioning times. Our operation teams are worried about increased operational efficiency and reliability, data security, and reduced costs. But all of these teams are together to help the business to delivery application and other things. So a matter of fact, the business are becoming a true digital business. This true digital business exists to support demands of delivery application. And these business are transforming the way how we are delivering application inside the companies. I think operation, in this case, are moving to be a strategic partner, a strategic department to deliver services, and a strategic department to help the business to enforce your market. And this evolution requires not only modern application, but infrastructure as a services platform to empower this delivery of services, this delivery of application. Besides professional, certificated, and professionals ready to support this business demand. And why this evolution is happening inside the companies? Mainly because the older infrastructure is not ready to support this business demand. Amount of data is large. It's very large. And even that, we have some good news. Because even that, we have more capabilities with these new tools. Like OpenStack, a lot of capabilities. And these capabilities are being exhausted, but we have improved this platform more and more. The companies have no more budget to help this infrastructure. But we have many, many other things to do and no budget. We have too many services requests. Biod is a reality. The employees are bringing our device. And more clients' device is online. And scaling up is not longer. We have to move to scaling out. And this application, this infrastructure as a services, requires dynamic infrastructure. This application requires dynamic infrastructure and dynamic professionals. And because of that, we are in the stage of moving toward professionalization. You are increasing the demand for open source and stackers inside the companies. Heavy people have professional training inside this company is strategic. Let me see some data about professionals and hiring managers. Hiring managers say that it's strategical and it's hard to search, to meet professionals, to find professionals and open source talent. These hiring managers say that it's hiring open stack professionals is a strategy for organization. And these professionals who are working with open stack say that certification are useful for your queries. So we have some important data about that. These make certified professionals a really hot commodity. We have many companies searching for certificated professionals. And we have more and more professionals getting certificated. But we have many challenges yet. Because according to our recent survey with many decision makers, we saw that we have a challenge to training people in open stack and certificated people in open stack. Because one of the most significant problems is the lack of skill in open stack followed by budget and technology maturity. So we are working to prepare professionals to get ready and certificate these professionals. And what I had to handle this demand, how we are helping to training and certificate these professionals. So in 2015, we launched a certification program to training and certificate professional in Red Hat Open Stack Platform. This is the same when you are getting a driver license. When you are getting a driver license, you have to get skills or abilities in car driver. And you have to prove your skills through an exam. If you are getting a driver in this exam, you are certificating open stack platform, for example. Comparatively. So this is the same when you are talking about certification for open stack platform. You have to get skills or abilities in Red Hat Open Stack Platform. You have to prove your knowledge in Open Stack Platform through an exam. If you get a permit, you have certified in Open Stack Platform. So specifically about Open Stack, we have two levels of certifications. The first level is Red Hat Certifier System Administrator. This level of certification, you have to prove your abilities about how to implement, configure, manage, and troubleshooting a cloudy environment with a Red Hat Open Stack. You have to perform an exam. This is a hand zone and performance-based exam. And the product is Red Hat Open Stack Platform 8, who is based on Red Hat Open Stack Platform 8, based on delivery version. So this is the first level of certification. If you would like to get a certified engineer in Open Stack Platform, you have to perform a second exam. The second exam, you have to prove your knowledge and abilities using self-distributed storage and advanced capabilities with Open Stack Neutrum. The exam is a performance-based exam, too. And the product is Open Stack 8, based on delivery, plus self. So today, if you would like to get your certification in Red Hat Open Stack Platform, you have two levels of certification. You have System Administrator and Red Hat Certified Engineer. This is a very fast introduce. If you would like to get more information about the certification program, we have more information available in this address. And this presentation is available right now in the first address here, people.redhat.com. If you would like to get this presentation, it's available in this address. Thank you very much. I'm sorry for the technical problems on the beginning.
