“The next release is probably going to be at late”... these are words that every AppDev leader has uttered… and often.
Development teams burdened with complex release requirements often run over schedule and over budget. One of the biggest offenders? Data. Your teams are cutting corners, sacrificing quality and delivering projects late because they don’t have a good solution for managing data.
You’re one of many AppDev leaders that face these challenges. You need a new approach to manage, secure and provision your data in order to stay relevant, You need DataOps.

Adaptable Engineering: 3D Printing and AgileEvan Leybourn
Agile has been very successful in the software industry, where the cost of change is relatively low; creating an environment for adaptable teams, projects and products. Meanwhile, in other industries, engineering in particular, traditional development approaches hold sway due to the significantly higher cost involved in product change. For an Agile engineering approach to be successful, the cost of change – both in people and fabrication – needs to be reduced. This is where 3D printing technologies come in.
This interactive session will examine many of the issues faced when applying Agile to physical-engineering product development. It will show how 3D printing technologies can decrease the iterative design cycle time, reduce the barrier to entry, and support the creation of highly complex products or prototypes through modular development.
Participate in the real-time development and printing of a product using agile approaches and get a basic understanding of how to use 3D modelling and printing tools. Discover how 3D printing can, and is, being used to develop engineering products.

Github Copilot and tools that help us code better are cool. But I’m lucky if I spend 90 minutes a day writing code. We really need to optimize the hours we spend reviewing code, updating tickets and tracing where our code is deployed. Learn how I save an hour a day streamlining non-coding tasks.
This talk is unique because 99% of developer productivity tools and hacks are about coding faster, better, smarter. And yet the vast majority of our time is spent doing all of this other stuff. After I started focusing on optimizing the 10 hours I spend every day on non-coding tasks, I found I my productivity went up and my frustration at annoying stuff went way down. I cover how to save time by reducing cognitive load and by cutting menial, non-coding tasks that we have to perform 10-50 times every day. For example:
Bug or hotfix comes through and you want to start working on it right away so you create a branch and start fixing. What you don’t do is create a Jira ticket but then later your boss/PM/CSM yells at your due to lack of visibility. I share how I automated ticket creation in Slack by correlating Github to Jira.
You have 20 minutes until your next meeting and you open a pull request and start a review. But you get pulled away half way through and when you come back the next day you forgot everything and have to start over. Huge waste of time. I share an ML job I wrote that tells me how long the review will take so I can pick PRs that fit the amount of time I have.
You build. You ship it. You own it. Great. But after I merge my code I never know where it actually is. Did the CI job fail? Is it release under feature flag? Did it just go GA to everyone? I share a bot I wrote that personally tells me where my code is in the pipeline after it leaves my hands so I can actually take full ownership without spending tons of time figuring out what code is in what release.
DOES SFO 2016 - Greg Maxey and Laurent Rochette - DSL at ScaleGene Kim
t last year’s DOES conference, we introduced the new Domain Specific Language (DSL) for Electric Flow and painted a vision for how it could revolutionize application release automation (ARA) for very large enterprise implementations.
We are pleased to share with you our experiences and learnings from such a large scale implementation in a financial services company that we’ve been working on this past year. This is a very large implementation—hundreds of ‘platforms’, each containing hundreds of application components each targeting hundreds of ‘device types’, that is, thousands of components distributed across tens of thousands of end points in data centers across the world.
Because of regulatory and quality concerns, complex multi-environment stage testing and promotion systems with clear separation of duties must be enforced. While Electric Flow provided the core functionality to achieve these goals, there was a considerable amount of customization required to support legacy applications, tools and processes. All of the custom work done by the Electric Cloud professional services teams was done in DSL, that is, source code first. Customizations are maintained in a source control system and applied to the various staging environments through automated script execution managed by Electric Flow. While the Electric Flow UI was not used to author content, it was used to verify implementation and provide a convenient ways for the client to monitor progress of their application delivery. The result was a highly maintainable and scalable implementation that could be customized and adjusted on a moment’s notice. Indeed, the project has been managed in a lean agile manner with three week sprints.

RightScale Webinar: October 30, 2008 – This webinar focuses on how the RightScale Platform handles autoscaling with specific instructions and a live demo. Watch the video at http://vimeo.com/rightscale/autoscaling-server-arrays.
We are in the midst of a revolution. The ways in which software and value is delivered to users and the role that very frequent user feedback plays in the development lifecycle is radically different from legacy models that had software delivered on yearly cycles. The IT processes in place today cannot meet the new demands for weekly or daily releases, so we must change them. But these existing processes are serving a purpose, ensuring the quality, robustness, security and compliance of the software.
Today’s processes are centered on the client-server architectures that have reigned since the 1990s, and as a result the steps in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) predominantly involve performing operations on servers (and storage and networks). Further, IT job functions have been established to execute those processes.
In this talk we look at key existing requirements such as security and compliance, as well as some new ones such as rapid experimentation. We will rethink processes to satisfy these requirements and propose new organizational structures to execute them (spoiler alert, it is not a plan/build/run structure). Finally, we will detail some of the requirements on the IT system architectures that will allow these marked process changes. Session participants will leave with a concrete framework for transforming current IT practices, roles and responsibilities, and a clear understanding of the key technology enablers thereof.
Cloud Done Right - PaaS is the Remedy to VM HangoverMohamad Afshar
Virtualized hardware is all the rage in enterprise IT. However, is a purely virtualization-focused, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) approach really the right one for enterprises and government? What’s becoming clear is that virtualization is but one piece of a much bigger strategy for fast, self-service deployment and ultra-efficient operations, referred to as “platform as a service” (PaaS). PaaS leverages a wider set of middleware capabilities to enable application deployment in minutes rather than days and reduces operational costs by up to 90%. This general session will compare and contrast the IaaS and PaaS approaches, discussing architectural and operational considerations for PaaS using examples of best practices. It's a must-attend session for anyone considering building a private cloud.

Speaker: James Taylor; Architect, Comcast
The Pivotal Team demonstrated the power of partnership during their engagement with the Comcast SPARROW Activation Team. Throughout the engagement, the SPARROW Team, leveraged every dimension of the Pivotal Teams capabilities from discussions of product strategy, architecture principles, design approaches, identifying areas of improvement, best practices and production deployment (standby support), this was truly a partnership. In parallel, Pivotal collaborated with the APS NTCE (New Technology Center of Excellence) to start educating our engineers on cloud technologies, micro-services, DevOps, Continuous Delivery & Deployment which was very helpful in enabling our engineers to change mindset. In fact, the relationship went significantly further then trying to sell software the relationship was focused on solving our business problems both technical and non-technical. The SPARROW Team was able to observe in production many of the design patterns that came out of the cloud-native transformation, we anticipate more than a 50% reduction in infrastructure systems, 30% improvement in productivity based on feedback from the development team during Iteration Planning & Retrospectives. In our early stage of production deployments we have seen 1% improvement in activation success already… This has been an unexpected journey.

Systematic Load Testing of Web ApplicationsJürg Stuker
Talk held at the conference Coding Serbia in Novi Sad.
Performance of web applications is a crucial dissatisfier for users and thus an important quality criteria -- also used by Google to rank their result lists. As with other quality aspects, performance testing cannot be done at the end of a project but is an integral part of the development process.
The practice presentations submitted explains web performance testing along practical examples in order to better understand and judge cause and effect of behavior observed. Usually few causes have a disproportionate effect on bad performance. In addition, it is important to understand diverse load and test scenarios to optimize application behavior.
The presentation also introduces a methodology to systematically define and assess performance metrics of an application. The content is based on open source tools and the presentation includes live testing to illustrate the excellent cost benefit ratio of systematically white box testing of performance using an HTTP proxy.

Identifying Workloads to Move to the CloudRightScale
RightScale Webinar: Cloud infrastructure offers a new set of building blocks for cost effectively deploying and managing applications. One of the first questions encountered is often which application workloads present the best fit? We’ll start by profiling different environments (datacenter, hosted and public/private cloud) and highlight the application characteristics that align well for each. We’ll then discuss the most common use cases we encounter and the reference architectures we’ve used to deliver them. Along the way, we’ll work to provide guidance how to evaluate company workloads for public, private and hybrid cloud deployments and when it makes sense to re-architect applications.

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.
