Infrastructure microservices such as Service Discovery and Routing need mechanisms to manage distributed state. The most common answer for this is the use of a central, consistent key value store such as Consul, Etcd or Zookeeper. These systems use consensus-based algorithms, such as Raft or Paxos, to provide consistency and failure tolerance.
I believe this is a dangerous direction for our industry, and instead we should be focusing on ease of use and reliabiligy. As such, Weave wants its infrastructure microservices to be decentralized, yet easy to install and run; our approach is inspired by the Internet, which is distributed and operates with no consensus. In this talk, I'll explain how we designed our Service Discovery and Address Management using Convergent Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) and Gossip, review the pros and cons of this concept, and how it compares to alternatives.
Trent Hornibrook gave a recent talk at the Infracoders meet-up playing a thought experiment with the audience on 'what would be your tech decisions if you were given a blank cheque at at startup'.
Trent, recently working for a start-up then shared what decisions he made, and why

What's beyond Virtualization - The Future of Cloud PlatformsDerek Collison
My updated talk om the future of IT at QCon NY
What lies beyond virtualization? How do we start the journey to a secure, composeable, and trusted hybrid platform that truly delivers the business value and velocity we all want?
In the era of software-defined everything, one goal is to reach a fluid infrastructure that has the level of plasticity needed to self heal itself and provide higher level SLAs for applications and services. Adding value to existing applications and services in a transparent fashion requires a rethinking of core technologies in the platform space. In this talk we will take a look at some low level technologies and approaches to achieving this goal. Topics will range from Intelligent layer 7 SDN with semantic awareness, distributed scheduling algorithms, policy distribution and invalidation, health monitoring and management, self healing techniques, and the role of unsupervised deep machine learning and anomaly detection.

From Monoliths to Services: Paying Your Technical DebtTechWell
Ever since distributed software became popular, developers have been choosing whether to use monolithic architectures or service-oriented architectures. With the advancement of cloud infrastructure and the widespread implementation of agile methodologies, the latter approach has been getting much easier. David Litvak describes how a monolithic application—due to its ever increasing technical debt—can become too big to support. He explores how to gradually reduce the size by extracting its components into smaller services, so ultimately the application is decoupled and highly distributed. David describes the current situation of cloud services and software as a service providers, offering a list of these providers for many different uses. He shares an example of an e-commerce site implementation, starting with a full-blown traditional rails monolith and then moving toward a static site with automated rebuilds with CircleCI, Contentful as a decoupled CMS, Auth0 for authentication, and Snipcart as an e-Commerce as a Service provider. Join David as he shares how to create an architecture from interconnected services.
JAXLondon 2015 "DevOps and the Cloud: All Hail the (Developer) King"Daniel Bryant
Last year we talked about DevOps, what it was, why it was important and how to get started. Boy, was it scary. Now we’re wiser. More battle-scarred. The scale of the challenge for application writers exploiting cloud and DevOps is clearer, but so is the path forward. Understanding the DevOps approach is important but equally you must understand specific deployment technologies. How to exploit them and how they effect the design of applications. Whether creating simple applications or sophisticated microservice architectures many of the challenges are the same.
Presented at JAXLondon 2015 with Steve Poole
From Monoliths to Services: Grafually paying your Technical DebtDavid Litvak Bruno
Talk about how to improve the architecture and reduce the technical debt of your applications. By gradually separating away responsibilities from your monolithic apps into single responsibility services.
Cloud system configurations and their dependencies can quickly grow into the thousands of virtual machine, network and storage components. Once software is included, the number of components can easily rise into six figures.
Frequent releases using continuous integration and deployment tools makes a repository of these components and relationships absolutely critical to cloud system integrity and quality of service no matter what cloud management tools you use.
Systems configurations are more naturally represented using a graph database than the relational representations used by traditional IT management products.
Our talk will explore how we use Neo4J to create a live, active, self-updating repository service, containing nearly all virtual hardware, network and software components and their dependencies, enabling continuous deployment in any cloud environment at scale.
The world of IT is shifting rapidly towards DevOps with analysts predicting the majority of companies will adopt DevOps practices in the next few years. In fact, in a recent study on DevOps by International Data Corp. (IDC), they believe that DevOps will be adopted (in either practice or discipline) by 80% of Global 1000 organizations by 2019!
Forming a DevOps team seems like a natural step, but the idea of creating a dedicated DevOps team has ignited anger in the community. Why? What's the concern? Is a DevOps team evil? Completely necessary? A necessary Evil?
Join IBM UrbanCode's Eric Minick to learn the pitfalls of creating bad DevOps teams, and successful approaches of good ones. Along the way, we’ll explore other heresies such as using tools to change culture.

SRE and GitOps for Building Robust Kubernetes Platforms.pdfWeaveworks
In today's technology-driven landscape, ensuring the reliability and stability of systems is critical for organizations to deliver exceptional user experiences. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) has emerged as a proven methodology to achieve operational excellence and elevate performance.
By combining SRE and GitOps, organizations can leverage the benefits of both methodologies. GitOps provides a reliable and auditable approach to managing infrastructure and application changes, ensuring that all deployments are version-controlled and consistent across environments. This aligns with the SRE principle of implementing standardized and automated processes for maintaining system reliability.
Join our live webinar as we introduce the fundamentals and significance of SRE and GitOps, and provide actionable strategies for implementation. We’ll also explore the features of Weave GitOps that integrate SRE and GitOps practices to streamline workflows to support system reliability and stability.

Webinar: End to End Security & Operations with Chainguard and Weave GitOpsWeaveworks
One of the key values of GitOps relies on its fully declarative single source of truth in Git for the desired state of your entire system – configuration that continuously reconciles with the runtime of the system.
Validating committer identity in your Git repository is a critical component towards a secure GitOps solution. Although basic capabilities are provided by Git service providers, more granular controls for governance and compliance are a requirement to satisfy most enterprise grade implementations.
How do you keep that end to end process secure, from Git to Runtime?
Join Weaveworks and Chainguard for a live webinar where we will look at how Chainguard Enforce for Git together with Weave GitOps Enterprise Policy Engine allows you to secure your end to end GitOps workflows, from Git to Runtime.
You will learn how to:
- Use Chainguard Enforce for Git to ensure only authorized GitOps tooling can modify your desired state.
- Provide a secure identity to Weave GitOps Enterprise for all Git operations.
- Use Weave GitOps Policy Engine to guarantee compliance on admission.

How to Avoid Kubernetes Multi-tenancy CatastrophesWeaveworks
Picture this… It’s the middle of the night on a Saturday, and the sound of slack messages rolling in rouses you from slumber. Then two text messages chime in quick succession. As you grab your phone and pry open an eye to figure out WTF, the phone rings - and it’s your boss!? You stammer out a “Hello?”
She sounds alarmed. “Wake up, we have a big problem”
“It’s two-in-the-morning, what problem?” you croak back.
“I guess you missed the alerts while you were sleeping…API endpoints in prod are getting knocked over, and the tokens responsible are yours.”
“They’re what? How?”
“Get to your machine and jump on the meeting link I just sent - everybody’s waiting”
Yikes. Join Weaveworks for some real-world tales from the trenches, and learn about the 5 simple things you can do to prevent making a royal mess of Tenancy in Kubernetes. Hear from developers that got that late night call because of a bone-headed accident, and teams affected by gob-smacking access and permissions foul-ups. Luckily for us, they were happy to tell us the tales so we can learn from their pain.
Weave GitOps Workspaces is a new feature that enables multi-tenancy so platform engineers can scale their GitOps workflows across numerous development teams. Oh yeah, it also wards -off wake-up calls in the middle of the night, which is nice.
Watch this webinar recording to learn:
- How Weave GitOps simplifies tenancy management
- How security guardrails keep you from blowing a hole in your app, and across your team
- 5 takeaways for enabling Kubernetes tenancy safely and effectively for your teams
Building internal developer platform with EKS and GitOpsWeaveworks
An internal developer platform (IDP) is a set of standardized tools and technologies that enables development teams to self-service, offering convenient access to resources they need to create and deploy compliant code. The ultimate goal is to facilitate automation, autonomy and productivity across large teams. However, creating an IDP is highly complex, especially when bridging hybrid scenarios. In fact, build timelines can take anywhere between one to two years!
In this Techstrong Learning Experience, we will discuss how platform engineers can more efficiently build an IDP with Amazon EKS and Weave GitOps and accelerate cloud-native adoption while speeding up migration of existing applications to the cloud.
Our experts will also introduce EKS Blueprints, a collection of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules like Terraform and AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) that will help you configure and deploy consistent EKS clusters across on-premises and cloud.
Key Takeaways:
- Why you should build a self-service IDP
- How to leverage EKS, GitOps and EKS Blueprints to build your IDP
- A review of use cases and benefits of an IDP
GitOps Testing in Kubernetes with Flux and Testkube.pdfWeaveworks
GitOps is amazing... until you can't apply it! This has been the case mostly for testing where it continues to be more of a push than a pull in organizations' DevOps pipelines.

Intro to GitOps with Weave GitOps, Flagger and LinkerdWeaveworks
You may not think of "GitOps" and "service mesh" together – but maybe you should! These two wildly different technologies are each enormously capable independently, and combined they deliver far more than the sum of their parts: a single Git commit can control workflows customized for your exact situation by taking advantage of the service mesh's ability to measure and manipulate traffic anywhere in your application's call graph, and you can rest easy knowing that Git is preserving the complete configuration for your entire application every step of the way.
See how these technologies can work together to tackle complex problems in cloud-native applications.
What you’ll get out of this:
* Understand what GitOps and service meshes can - and can't - do for you.
* Understand basic operations with GitOps and Linkerd.
* Understand the basics of continuous deployment with Weave GitOps and Linkerd.
Implementing Flux for Scale with Soft Multi-tenancyWeaveworks
Soft multi-tenancy can be hard to achieve and secure. Multiple tenants sharing the same cluster means there are global objects, like Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), namespaces, and so on, that you don’t want tenants controlling. Platform admins, cluster admins, and tenants, should be separated, with dedicated namespaces, role bindings, node groups, taints and tolerations, etc.
With Flux, tenant isolation is enforced by default, so you don’t have to worry about accidental tenant cross-over / cross-contamination.
In this session, Priyanka “Pinky” Ravi, Developer Experience Engineer at Weaveworks, will walk you through how to set up multi-tenancy on an existing Kubernetes cluster and manage several tenants within the cluster.
Take advantage of the benefits that come with infrastructure as code.
Accelerating Hybrid Multistage Delivery with Weave GitOps on EKSWeaveworks
Join Leo Murillo, Principal Solutions Architect at Weaveworks and Rama Ponnuswami, Sr. Container Specialist at AWS, as they walk through accelerating Multi-stage delivery on GitOps.

In this Webinar, we cover:
- Best practices for CI/CD, GitOps and Application Pipeline Management.
- Simple cluster management across Kubernetes hybrid infrastructure.
- Multistage deployments using Weave GitOps for EKS and EKS-A using a single UI dashboard.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

21. Our North Star is to win more of our members’ “moments of truth”.
Those decision moments are, say, on Thursday 7:15 pm or Monday 2:40 am when our
member wants to relax, enjoy a shared experience with friends and family, or is just
bored. They could play a video game, surf the web, read a magazine, channel surf
their MVPD/DVR system, buy a pay-per-view movie, put on a DVD, turn on Hulu or
Amazon Prime, or they could tap on Netflix. We want our members to choose Netflix
in these moments of truth.
We win those moments of truth when members expect, based on their prior
experience with us, that Netflix will be pleasurable, compared to all those other
options. The pleasure comes from our simple experience for choosing, control over
when to start/pause/resume the video, and from content that suits their taste and
their mood.
When we deliver enjoyment, members watch more Netflix, continue their
membership, and evangelize Netflix to their friends.
22.
23. 2015 – Netflix has 60M+ subscribers, adding >4M per quarter
28. Key takeaways so far
• On demand services, powered by
software, are the new MUST HAVE
• And they are core to your business –
cannot be outsourced
• Businesses: ally with developers or die
31. 2015 “must have” requirements
•Self Service
•Agile & Always On
•Flexible Deployment
32. Implications of Self Service
• 1-click install & uninstall
• Pay per use, never pay to set up & provision
• Global scale & customer base
• Measure everything
• Test & adapt & upgrade in real time
PROFIT!
For Developers – customer “me want it NOW”
35. DevOps Example
• Target, talk at DevOps enterprise summit, 2014
• Release frequency UP 100x
– 1/quarter 100/quarter
• Release size DOWN - 100x
• Errors and production issues DOWN by 90%
• Costs DOWN by 50%
For developers:
• Same team, much less waste, better products, happier
customers, continuous delivery..
36.
37. xxx
Business value – better to spend
$100M on making House of Cards,
than on building a data center
38. Flexible Deployment
• Cloud
• Global infra for metered on demand services
• Super scalable, Ideal for DevOps, “Always On”, CI
Implication for developers
• Basically a RANDOM environment
• Can your app pass the 20% test?
• Can your app monitor & measure everything?
39.
40.
41. Key Takeaways so far!
• Developers:
– Optimize for speed instead of cost
– Assume that cloud is random
• This applies to:
– What you design
– How you develop
– Where you deploy
In the Moment of Truth, the customer doesn’t care about you,
they care about “me”
44. Google Scale for all?
• 2 billion containers started per week
• 100 billion per year
• Google has ~1% of world’s servers
Current potential of 100*100B = 10 trillion
server side containers per year globally
But there are 10-50M developers
48. Developing in the ‘me’ generation
• Google shows we need automation to scale
• Developers tell us they need choice
• Reject “one size fits all”. Embrace “composable”
Cloud Native
50. Cloud Native Apps
In a nutshell: everything is decoupled for scale
Decouple software from physical deployment
Decouple users from service instances
Decouple software into components
51. Containers!
Fast, Easy, Portable Packaging
• Lightweight VMs – mobile & isolated env.
• Enables portability & idempotency
• More efficient than VMs – “lean and fast”
• Docker adds “make it easy for developers”
53. Docker at the Moment of Truth
• Jason Hoffman:
– I think Linux took off because of package
management. I think that’s basically it. Docker’s
taking off because it’s the new package
management. It’s just that simple.
68. So why I am doing Weave?
Plumbing for cloud native applications
• Simple, Portable, Transparent
• Cloud Native apps made easy for developers
• NO need to rewrite app code or re-tool apps!

Netflix Long Term View
Massimo blog post: http://it20.info/2014/12/cloud-native-applications-for-dummies/
A good litmus test to see if you are running a legacy application or a cloud native application is as follows.
Invite me to your data center at 11AM on a Monday morning to turn off and destroy 20% of the instances you have in production.
If your application deployment self-fixes itself without any work on your part and if there was minimal to no disruption in your end-user experience then you are running a proper cloud native application.
If, on the other hand, you go like “Oh my god what did you do? I have a week of work in front of me now!” all while your phone is ringing like crazy then welcome to the real world along with the remaining 95% of the people.
