FlowFactor

It's that time of year again - our interns have arrived! 🎉

At FlowFactor, we strongly believe in providing opportunities for young individuals to grow and develop their professional careers. Our internship has become increasingly popular over the years, and we're excited to welcome back a multitude of interns of Karel de Grote Hogeschool and HOGENT within FlowFactor and our subsidiaries this school year.

✅ Nick Van Wijnsberghe and Viktor Koeklenberg are joining FlowFactor and will mainly focus on security within the development process
✅ Jarne Bottelberghe has been with us for several weeks now and is currently working on integrating HashiCorp Vault into a Gitlab CI Pipeline.
✅ Wannes Persyn and Mats Bos are joining HIEDA and will investigate best practices for data on Kubernetes
✅ Giuseppe Janssens & Maarten Van Raemdonck will do their internship at Staible in which they will focus on log file anomalie detection.

Good luck to all of them! We are already looking forward to seeing the final results of their internships. And a big shout out to our people who support them during these internships, you guys are golden! 💪

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

A quote we like to live by at FlowFactor. Without our motivated employees, supportive partners and great customers we wouldn’t be here. The end of the year was the ideal time to honor them all with a nice gift in true FlowFactor style. 🤩

On to more great adventures together!

One of our resolutions in 2023 is to pick up writing technical blogs again. Knowledge sharing is one of our key values and our team never skips an opportunity to get technical. 💪

Jeroen kicks off with a blog on installing OpenShift! Red Hat’s OpenShift container platform has several automated installs available for a wide range of platforms. However, if your platform of choice is not supported, or if you want more configuration options, you can also install OpenShift manually. In this tutorial, Jeroen will discuss CoreOS and how to set up your own OpenShift install.

Stay tuned for more technical content. In our next blog Guilherme will talk about how to deploy a Linux VM in Microsoft Azure Cloud! ☁️

Tutorial: how to install OpenShift on anything | Flowfactor In this tutorial, we will discuss CoreOS and how to set up your own OpenShift install. Let’s get started!

On Tuesday, Johan, Kilian & Tom attended the RedHat Partner Event. Besides a great venue, they shared a lot of exciting things! 🙌 Here are the key insights we took home:

✔️RedHat wants to expand their focus on edge computing and are therefore working on a lightweight OpenShift variant.
✔️With the Ansible Automation Platform, you create 1 platform in which you can accommodate all your automations. This enables you to automate with 1 click on the button and prevents a siloed approach.
✔️OpenShift is more than a container platform and not enough people are aware of that. OpenShift Virtualisation for example, makes it possible to spin up VM's and gives you the opportunity to bring old workloads to a more modern platform.
✔️RedHat is making efforts to create a shared controle plane to manage multiple clusters and reduce overhead costs.

Summarized, another interesting day to get inspired and meet new people. Thank you the whole RedHt team for having us. We are looking forward to keep on expanding our partnership with RedHat! 🚀
