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 ?

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.

Most people will claim that this never happens, others hope it never happens, but it happened on March 10, 2021, and it was not just the 1 datacenter that got impacted, but the whole campus of the provider that got powered down. This talk will explain how our customers survived this outage, how our culture, opensource tooling and automation saved the da(y,ta). A talk about disaster recovery, business continuity plans and building cloud agnostic stacks that survive disasters.
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.
