Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Editor's Notes
TW/h – Trillion Watt Hours
The purpose of a generator is to convert motion into electricity. This wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for one fact: That a wire passing through a magnetic field causes electrons in that wire to move together in one direction. A loop of wire spinning through a magnetic field will create an alternating current. Note: current will flow only if the circuit connected to the generator is complete.A generator consists of some magnets and a wire (usually a very long one that's wrapped to form several coils and known as an armature). A steam engine or some other outside source of motion moves the wire or armature through the magnetic field created by the magnets. In the example to the left, a loop of wire is spinning within a magnetic field. Because it is always moving through the field, a current is sustained. But, because the loop is spinning, it's moving across the field first in one direction and then in the other, which means that the flow of electrons keeps changing. Because the electrons flow first in one direction and in the other, the generator produces an alternating current . One advantage that AC has over DC is that it can easily be "stepped up" or "stepped down" with a transformer. In other words, a transformer can take a low-voltage current and make it a high-voltage current, and vice versa. This comes in handy in transmitting electricity over long distances. Since AC travels more efficiently at high voltages, transformers are used to step up the voltage before the electricity is sent out, and then other transformers are used to step down the voltage for use in homes and businesses.
It is named after William John Macquorn Rankine , a Scottish polymath There are four processes in the Rankine cycle, each changing the state of the working fluid. These states are identified by number in the diagram to the right. Process 1-2 : The working fluid is pumped from low to high pressure, as the fluid is a liquid at this stage the pump requires little input energy. Process 2-3 : The high pressure liquid enters a boiler where it is heated at constant pressure by an external heat source to become a dry saturated vapor. Process 3-4 : The dry saturated vapor expands through a turbine , generating power. This decreases the temperature and pressure of the vapor, and some condensation may occur. Process 4-1 : The wet vapor then enters a condenser where it is cooled at a constant pressure and temperature to become a saturated liquid . The pressure and temperature of the condenser is fixed by the temperature of the cooling coils as the fluid is undergoing a phase-change . In an ideal Rankine cycle the pump and turbine would be isentropic , i.e., the pump and turbine would generate no entropy and hence maximize the net work output. Processes 1-2 and 3-4 would be represented by vertical lines on the Ts diagram and more closely resemble that of the Carnot cycle. The Rankine cycle shown here prevents the vapor ending up in the superheat region after the expansion in the turbine [1] , which reduces the energy removed by the condensers.
Processes: Pressure, temperature, flow rate, level, and humidity. Because these processes change, they are known as process variables. These processes and process variables are controlled automatically by instrumentation and control equipment Most control instruments that measure process variables are called transmitters. Transmitters are devices that are connected to the process pipeline or equipment in a control loop. Transmitters are mounted on skids or “racks” known as Local Instrument Racks (LIR). Approx 62 racks for this 1000 MW coal fired plant. Each rack contains 10-20 separate transmitters, many of them used as back-ups.

Typical approved transmitter for use at a power plant is Rosemont Model 3051 Smart Transmitter with Foundation Fieldbus digital protocol. For the Shaw supplied pressure transmitters I need a 2-valve manifold rated for 8350 psig @ 380 °F, and for the dp transmitters I need a 3-valve manifold rated for 3890 psig @ 1065 °F. The root valves that are tapped into the process in closed loop systems are generally required to be welded in accordance with ANSI B31.1 Power Piping Codes The ASME Boiler Code may also apply if the root valves are directly attached to the boiler.
90% of the time the Root Valves, the main steam line piping, and the pressure transmitter are supplied by the Boiler Vendor
Water Treatment for boiler feed water systems is formulated primarily to remove the impurities that cause: Corrosion – A chemical attack of metal surfaces that leads to a loss of the metal Scale – the Accumulation of impurities on metal surfaces Carryover – Process in which impurities in the boiler water are picked up in the steam and deposited in other locations in the steam distribution system. AVT- All Volatile Treatment – Purpose is to inhibit iron dissolution and thereby minimize corrosion by using deoxygenated high purity water with elevated ph. Oxygen concentration is usually kept below 5 PPM. Operators further decrease oxygen concentration by adding N2H (Hydrazine) Ammonia serves as an analyzing agent PH is between 8.8 and 9.5, depending on feed water metallurgy OT (Oxygenated Treatment) – Most all Super Critical plants use OT. OT uses oxygenated very high purity water. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and air have been used to keep dissolved oxygen levels at 50-150 PPB.

Lube oil services 2 main areas: Main turbine shaft seals Large hydraulically actuated valves. These valves include main stop valves, governor or control valves, and the re-heat stop and interface valves. Lube oil Reservoir Holding basin for oil. A single reservoir may service the 2 main lubrication areas Lube Oil Pumps Supply lubricant at the correct pressure, temperature, and flow to the turbine lube oil system. Normally 5 pumps, located in and around the main oil reservoir. During normal operation, a main oil pump and booster pump are in operation. The other pumps are provided for start-up, shutdown, and backup purposes only Main Oil Pump Located on the turbine shaft on the HP side of the turbine, oposite the generator side of the turbine
Booster Pumps Supplies oil to the turbine bearings. The number and locations of the bearings depends on the type of turbine/generator. In this system, there are 6 primary bearing locations along the shaft. Other Pumps The remaining pumps include: AC auxiliary pump DC Emergency pump AC turning gear pump
Turbine Control Oil System This system regulates the use of oil required for specific turbine rotation speed and generator megawatt output as determined by steam flow. The system uses hydraulic oil to position main stop valves, governor valves, reheat stop valves, and interceptor valves. 2 Methods for turbine speed control (EHC) Electrohydraulic Control (MHC) Mechanical Hydraulic Control Both methods use oil to operate hydraulic actuators. They differ in 2 ways: The EHC method normally has an independent supply of oil for lubrication and uses an electronic governor for detecting turbine shaft revolutions per minute. The MHC method is tied into the bearing lubrication reservoir for its oil supply and uses a flyweight governor to detect shaft RPM. Otherwise, both systems operate according to the same principals

Hydrogen system – Normally 2” and Under 300 PSI or less Purity of the hydrogen is critical so the gas is sampled continuously. Located next to main generator
The speed of the turbine rotor shaft affects the speed of the rotor/magnet. As the speed increases, heat builds up. This heat must be dissipated from the system. The heat generated is cooled by the use of hydrogen gas during operation. Advantages of hydrogen as a cooling medium: High heat transfer coefficient – 40% higher than coefficient of air High thermal conductivity (transmits heat rapidly) Very low density (requires little power to force hydrogen thru the fans. 14 times lighter than air) Reduces dirt and moisture contamination in the unit as a closed gas system and also dampens noise of operation Concerns: Hydrogen is explosive. A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen can be explosive Carbon dioxide is used as an inert buffer gas when hydrogen gas may contact air. IT IS CRITCAL THAT TUBING, FITTINGS, VALVES BE LEAK FREE
Generator Gland Seal Oil System Responsible for sealing the generator shaft where it exists from the generator enclosure. The purpose of these seals is to keep hydrogen in the gas tight enclosure for cooling purposes and at the same time, to secure the hydrogen system from in-board leakage of outside air. 2 separate seal oil pumps. The pressure of the air side and the hydrogen side seal oil systems is kept greater than the hydrogen gas pressure in the generator enclosure.

Oil Circuit Breakers – Use oil as the quenching media; at the same time, the oil acts as an insulating media. When the contacts are disconnected, the resulting arc generates intense heat breaking down the oil in its path. Because the gases are highly flammable, the oil must be kept pure and free from oxygen. Air Blast – This method is similar to blowing out a candle to extinguish a flame. Air is used to extinguish an electrical current. SF6- The sulfur hexafluoride as a quenching and insulating media has gained widespread acceptance over the past several years. This inert gas is contained inside a tank under rather high pressure. The tank then encapsulates the electrical switchgear contacts. As the contacts disengage, the SF6 is blown in a cross flow blast to extinguish the arc. SF6 is typically used in a voltage range from 33kV to 400kV. The method of blasting the electrical arc as the contacts retracts is called the “Puffer Principle.” Substations are a prime area where gas-insulated switch gear may be used
Basic Cycle: A gas turbine operates by: Continuously drawing in fresh air Compressing this air to a higher pressure Adding and burning fuel in the compressed air to increase its energy level Directing the high pressure high temperature air to an expansion turbine that converts the gas energy to the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft.

A simple cycle gas turbine produces continuous power, while the power from an individual engine is intermittent. A Brayton-type engine consists of three components: A gas compressor A mixing chamber An expander Combustion Section The combustion system consists of several liners into which fuel is added and burnt with a portion of the compressed air. The excess compressed air is used to cool the products of combustion to a temperature level usable by the turbine. Fuel is injected into each liner by fuel nozzles that atomize the fuel for good burning. The fuel is ignited initially by electric igniters. Once the fire is started the combustion process is self-sustaining as long as fuel and air are available. Turbine Section The turbine consists of several stages. Each stage is comprised of a stationary row of nozzles where the high energy gases are increased in velocity and directed towards a rotating row of buckets attached to the turbine shaft. The high velocity gases push against the buckets converting the gases kinetic energy into shaft power
