There are too many possibilities for base images in cloud environments and not enough time to validate which ones fulfill all of my requirements. Worse yet, I know that I have policies set by my security team that my infrastructure will be beholden to. So now what? I built an open source policy engine and image generator to implement directly into my build pipelines. I can start with any base image, apply my security policies that are verified by my security team, and now have a baseline that I can rapidly scale my infrastructure from.

Mike Simon, Splunk, Staff Developer Evangelist - Observability
In cloud-native environments, embedding observability as part of your infrastructure-as-code strategy is no longer optional—it’s essential. This session explores the value and necessity of adopting an observability-inclusive as-code approach, allowing teams to automate monitoring, reduce blind spots, and accelerate incident response. We’ll dive into the opportunities this brings for enhancing visibility, ensuring system reliability, and empowering teams to take proactive, data-driven actions without manual overhead.
Mike Simon is a Staff Developer Evangelist at Splunk, where he has been part of the team for two years. In his tenure at Splunk, Mike has held roles as an Observability Strategist and Technical Architect.Before joining Splunk, Mike built a distinguished 16-year career as an Observability... Read More →
In this talk, I focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with Cloud storage in data processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of object storage latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
We will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of Cloud storage latency on data processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their data processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
