A Technical Workshop for Architects, Engineers & Platform Teams

If your MSP is fighting rising costs, shrinking margins, talent shortages, and customers demanding more for less, this workshop is designed to hit those problems head‑on. This live, in‑person technical workshop with Tech Data and Red Hat shows you how to turn your existing Red Hat skills into automated, high‑margin managed services — without starting again or retraining your entire team.

OpenShift Virtualization lets your engineers reuse what they already know, while driving workload consolidation, operational simplicity, and serious cost savings across your customer base.

Join our hands‑on, engineer‑led deep dive into the Red Hat MSP program — usage reporting, billing models, Satellite requirements, SKU traps, and the hidden cost‑to‑serve killers that quietly erode your profitability. You’ll learn exactly how to streamline your stack, eliminate manual toil, and build services that scale without adding headcount.

Build MSP Services That Save Money, Reduce Complexity, and Actually Scale

You’ll learn how to weaponise Red Hat’s flagship platforms to create repeatable, automated, margin‑protecting services:

  • OpenShift Virtualization — Collapse VMs and containers onto one platform to simplify management and modernise customer workloads
  • RHEL — A stable, secure, compliant base that cuts escalations, outages, and unplanned engineering hours
  • Ansible Automation Platform — Automate provisioning, patching, remediation, and day‑two ops to slash labour costs

Why Attend

  • Shift from firefighting to service delivery with packaged Red Hat‑based managed services
  • Get deep technical insight across RHEL, Ansible, and OpenShift Virtualization
  • Work through real‑world MSP labs built around the problems your engineers face every day
  • Leverage transferable skills so your team can modernise without starting from scratch
