Incident Reviews for a Learning Organisation
We all aspire to have a culture of learning and continuous improvement in our teams and organisations but learning and improving when things go wrong is far from easy.
When dealing with the fallout from failure - Incident reviews, Incident reports, investigations etc. - the way in which we respond to is a crucial to improving safety and the performance of our organisations.
Andy will talk about how Major Incident Reviews are run in IT Operations at Auto Trader. He’ll discuss what works well for them and will bring together practical advice from industry experts for creating a culture of safety and learning. Andy will also cover what mistakes they’ve made, what to avoid and the factors that can prevent learning.

ReachOut NextStep is an online tool which facilitates help-seeking for young Australians aged 18-25. Design led by end-users, the tool helps young people navigate the Australian mental health system and empowers them to feel confident to seek help across a broad spectrum of mental health issues. This presentation will use insights from a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)), as well as analytics and empirical data from the enhanced live product in order to demonstrate: 1) The effectiveness of an online tool to facilitate help-seeking among young Australians, 2) Benefits of partnering with young people throughout the full development cycle of the project, and 3) Benefits of partnering with academics and service providers to ensure reliable, evidence-based outcomes.

ILO Achievement: Communicator
How you are demonstrating your growth as a Communicator?
There are six aspects of the reflection: Description; Feelings; Evaluation; Analysis; Conclusion; Action Plan.
Description - What happened?
Describe in detail the event you are reflecting on. Include e.g. where were you; who else was there; why
were you there; what were you doing; what were other people doing; what was the context of the event;
what happened; what was your part in this; what parts did the other people play; what was the result?
Feelings - What were you thinking and feeling?
At this stage, try to recall and explore those things that were going on inside your head. Include:
How you were feeling when the event started?
What you were thinking about at the time?
How did it make you feel?
How did other people make you feel?
How did you feel about the outcome of the event?
What do you think about it now?
Evaluation - What was good and bad about the experience?
Try to evaluate or make a judgement about what has happened. Consider what was good about the
experience and what was bad about the experience or what did or didn’t go so well?
Analysis - What sense can you make of the situation?
Break the event down into its component parts so they can be explored separately. You may need to ask
more detailed questions about the answers to the last stage. Include:
What went well?
What did you do well?
What did others do well?
What went wrong or did not turn out how it should have done?
In what way did you or others contribute to this?
Conclusion - What else could you have done?
This differs from the evaluation stage in that now you have explored the issue from different angles and
have a lot of information to base your judgement. It is here that you are likely to develop insight into you
own and other people’s behaviour in terms of how they contributed to the outcome of the event. Remember
the purpose of reflection is to learn from an experience. Without detailed analysis and honest exploration
that occurs during all the previous stages, it is unlikely that all aspects of the event will be taken into
account and therefore valuable opportunities for learning can be missed. During this stage you should ask
yourself what you could have done differently.
Action Plan - If it arose again what would you do?
During this stage you should think yourself forward into encountering the event again and to plan what you
would do - would you act differently or would you be likely to do the same? Here the cycle is tentatively
completed and suggests that should the event occur again it will be the focus of another reflective cycle.
Reflection Mechanics
Your reflection must:
be between 200 and 400 words;
follow spelling and grammar conventions.

Emotions are arguably the most powerful motivator for humans and yet most projects lack an implicit strategy to target emotions. This talk will present insight on how and why to use emotion as a strategic target for UX design. It will cover the 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals, the factors that affect how strongly we feel about an experience, what causes us to focus more on the positive or negative aspects of an experience, what stops us dead in our tracks, and how to create an experience that satisfies both the logical and emotional parts of our brain.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
