This document discusses different approaches to implementing continuous infrastructure and collaboration between development and operations teams. It argues that starting with operations automating their own workflows first allows them to understand the tools and processes before enforcing them on developers, prevents technical debt, and enables delivery and provisioning from the start. Getting operations involved early through dedicating resources to infrastructure as code avoids prolonged periods where operations teams are playing catch up or acting as heroes.
Adopting Devops , Stories from the trenchesKris Buytaert
As presented at Baltic Devops in Talllinn ,
Starting with devops is either the most trivial, or the hardest thing to do.
This talk will teach you a number of tricks on how to make life easier for your team. How to work together with your management and how to convince them devops is a relevant thing

OSMC 2017 | Groovy There is a Docker in my Dashing Pipeline by Kris Buytaert NETWAYS
Dashing or rather Smashing is an awesome Monitoring Dashboard, but it’s a pita to deploy. This talk will document the efforts we went trough to make the deployment of both dashing and the dashboards fully automated. It also will show how we test these dashboards using docker and how we build these pipelines with the JenkinsDSL.
Monitoring an infrastructure is still one of the most complex tasks at hand. Yet in this age of Infrastructure as Code a lot of people are still stuck using tools that haven't adapted. This talk will explain you how to look at monitoring your infrastructure from another angle, where you can benefit from using Puppet to deploy and provision your monitoring platforms. This talk will explain you which monitoring tools are suitable for monitoring at scale and Puppet driven provisioning and which ones will only make your life harder than it should be. Where do tools like Icinga, Sensu, Graphite or even CheckMK fit into the picture ?

Kris Buytaert is a long time Linux and Open Source Consultant. He's one of instigators of the devops movement, currently working for Inuits He is frequently speaking at, or organizing different international conferences and has written about the same subjects in different Books, Papers and Articles He spends most of his time working on bridging the gap between developers and operations with a strong focus on High Availability, Scalability , Virtualisation and Large Infrastructure Management projects hence trying to build infrastructures that can survive the 10th floor test, better known today as the cloud while actively promoting the devops idea !

OSDC 2015: Kris Buytaert | From ConfigManagementSucks to ConfigManagementLoveNETWAYS
In the beginning there was CFEngine, and the learning curve was high, then came Puppet , Chef and the learning curve was still high.
Now we have Ansible , for everyone that wasn't smart enough to learn the original tools. Or wasn't that the problem ?
For some people Infrastructure as Code became a goal alone, not caring about the infrastructure, Junior people wanted to learn Puppet, but forgot about the service they were configuring. Too Complex, Too much effort, .. And then containers came.
Similar to DevOps Days Kyiv 2019 -- continuous Infrafirstructure First //Kris buytaert (19)
A pragmatic overview of the ‘old-but-current’ and ‘new-and-uncommon’ processes, methodologies and practices in the DevOps/Release Management area. Implementation of Continuous Delivery, Value Stream Mapping, Delivery Pipeline, Continuous Testing, Infrastructure as Code, Test-Driven Infrastructure, Developer Self-Service will be reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of cloud platforms for the DevOps process will be briefly reviewed.

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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
