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.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

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

use to increase reserved instance
capacity as traffic increases.
Increasing the value for Reserved
Instance Count will provide fault
tolerance and improved
performance through scale out.
A website in Reserved mode will
provide more consistent performance
than a website in Shared mode
because it is not sharing resources
with other tenants.
If Reserved Instance Size is
changed from Small to Medium or
Large, the website will run in a
compute instance of corresponding
size with access to associated
resources for each size.

Slide Objective: This slide is couched in the three value prop pillars we put forth to Service Providers – More Customers, More Efficiencies and More Services. More Customers is about the massive installed base of customers Microsoft has (over 22M Windows Servers, over 3M SQL Servers and over 6M Business Apps, including SharePoint, Exchange, Lync, and custom) and how they will want to eventually move to hosted environments. More Efficiencies is really about all the efficiency enhancements in the underlying OS and management software. More Services is about all the value-add services that hosting service providers can easily stand up and monetize when using Windows Server, System Center and the rest of the STB products. This can include some of the components that are now available to create a service around (think Hyper-V Replica), but also includes finished services, such as the one we’re describing in this presentation.
<click to next slide>
Some other data points for this slide include:
Networking Enhancements
Network virtualization enables IP Address Mobility: create a logical grouping of IP addresses and assign to VM; today have to be on a single network "cluster"; can more easily move VMs to other networks (move from on-premises to another cloud).
Improved multi-tenant support for networks–improvements to deliver completion isolation down to wire critical for multi-tenant scenarios.
Virtual Switches: out of box support for virtual switch. Management interface for network.
Storage
Lower Storage Costs.
Storage Spaces–pool underlying storage and access and manage storage across multiple disks as a single store, taking away dependencies on SAN that can create cheaper DAS storage solutions.
Data de-duplication
Thin provisioning
VM Scalability and Performance
Higher density of VMs per host
Up to 32 virtual procs/VM
Support for up to 160 logical procs (# of procs x cores)
Management
Over 2000 new PowerShell commands
Enhanced Remote Server
Multi-Server Management
Slide Objective
This slide leverages the same framework at the top as the prior slide, but instead highlights management enhancements brought with the latest release of System Center.
Top Features for Service Providers

As I mentioned earlier, a core part of what the Cloud OS means is the ability to have parity of experiences across the three primary deployment locations: on premise, in a hosted environment, or on Windows Azure. We have found Azure to be a great environment for developing and testing highly distributed cloud services and now we’re bringing all the technology to hosting service providers as part of the technology found in Windows Server and System Center. These technologies are currently in beta release and are expected to be fully available with the release of the Service Pack 1 for System Center 2012 in early 2013.
<click to build out the four pillars>
The first two services that we’re taking from Windows Azure to Windows Server are Web Sites and Virtual Machines. This session will obviously spend a lot more time talking about the Virtual Machines scenario, but it’s good to have the context for the entire solution. The other piece of technology that Microsoft delivers for this solution is the Service Management API and Portal, which is the third pillar. The API layer is really the key to this solution since once it has been adopted, the service provider will more easily be able to continue to plug in new modules, whether they’re from Microsoft or third party providers. The fourth pillar highlights the fact that there are 3rd party vendors who are also writing solutions to this new API and making those services available to hosters as well.
The next slide will give you a better understanding of the technology stack from a high level.
<click to next slide>
Web Sites is a highly scalable web hosting service for public and private clouds that is optimized for cloud hosting economics and integrated with the world’s most popular OSS Web apps, frameworks and tools.
Create high-density, scalable website hosting services that are simple to deploy and administer, operating tens of thousands of sites in a single web farm.
Out-of-the-box automation lowers customer onboarding costs while resource metering and throttling can help tailor customer offerings.
Supports many frameworks including ASP.NET, Classic ASP, PHP, and Node.js with full Git integration for source code control. Integration of the Web App Gallery allows customers access to popular web applications.
The Management Portal can be used to scale websites, and to specify whether if they can run in Shared website mode or Reserved website mode.
Shared mode
When a website is first created it runs in Shared mode, meaning that it shares available compute resources with other subscribers that are also running websites in Shared mode.
A single instance of a website configured to run in Shared mode will provide somewhat limited performance when compared to other configurations but should still provide sufficient performance to complete development tasks or proof of concept work. If a website that is configured to run in a single instance using Shared mode is put into production, the resources available to the website may prove to be inadequate as the average number of client requests increases over time. Before putting a website into production, estimate the load that the website will be expected to handle and consider scaling up or scaling out the website by changing configuration options available on the website's Scale management page.
References:
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/web-sites/how-to-scale-websites/#reservedmode
When a website’s mode is changed from Shared to Reserved the website is scaled up to run on a single dedicated core with access to additional memory, disk space and bandwidth.
Web Sites includes support for the following:
Multiple frameworks including ASP.NET, PHP and Node.js
Popular open source software apps including WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, Umbraco and DotNetNuke
SQL Database and MySQL databases
Multiple types of developer tools and protocols including Visual Studio, FTP, Visual Studio Team Foundation Services and Microsoft WebMatrix
