· Introduction to Qubell and autonomic application environment management

· Overview of key use cases:

o Self-service test sandboxes

o Automated CICD pipeline

o Continuous production upgrades

o Visibility of environment configurations and their changes

· Demonstrate how this works for big data environments using "Qubell for Hadoop Developers" accelerator

· Demonstrate the power of Qubell + Docker for test environments
