Show notes

The operating system is the foundation of IT infrastructure. It affects everything built on top of it. Take good care of it, and you're on your way to a smooth platform for your application. Neglect to maintain it? Well, you might run into some problems. Scott McBrien, Technical Product Marketing Manager at Red Hat, recalls his experiences managing the operating system over the years. He covers the consequences of forgetting to keep the OS up to date, why standardization across your hardware is key, why upgrades go wrong—and how to deal with all of the above.
