PRO SESSION (CloudX): Which Vault? Don’t Tell Me Your Secret(s)!
Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST
Michel Schildmeijer, SSC-ICT, Lead Technologist

Secret management is a crucial aspect of DevOps, as it involves the protection of sensitive data that is used by applications and services. Secrets can include API keys, credentials, tokens, certificates, and passwords that grant access to various resources and systems. If these secrets are compromised, attackers can exploit them to cause damage, steal information, or disrupt operations.
One of the challenges of secret management is how to securely store, distribute, and rotate secrets in a dynamic and distributed environment. Traditional methods of hard-coding secrets in configuration files or environment variables are not secure, scalable, or reliable. Moreover, secrets need to be updated frequently to comply with security policies and regulations, and to prevent unauthorized access.
To address these challenges, several tools and frameworks have been developed to provide secret management solutions for DevOps.
These tools can help DevOps teams to implement best practices for secret management.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): How We Implemented Zero Trust Security Using Cilium
Wednesday November 6, 2024 11:00am - 11:25am PST
Lakmal Warusawithana, WSO2, Technology Evangelist

Implementing a zero trust approach is essential for security, as it involves verifying and validating every request, irrespective of its origin or location.

In the initial implementation of Choreo, our internal Developer Platform as a Service, we faced challenges in controlling all network access and enforcing authentication, authorization, and seamless network traffic encryption at scale, which is vital for the Choreo cloud service. However, by employing Cilium, K8s, and a cell-based architecture, we were able to develop a scalable platform that upholds zero trust security principles.

The combination of Cilium's eBPF-powered layer 3, 4, and 7 network policies, Hubble Observability, IPSec security, and a cell-based architecture enabled us to address all the critical elements of a zero trust platform successfully.

In this talk, I will detail all the challenges we faced and the strategies we employed to overcome them.

Ever felt like RunBooks are just bandaids for tech mishaps? They pop up after an incident and only help when the same gremlins strike again. But where’s the RunBook for leveling up your troubleshooting game (fast)? Every company is a unique beast with its own architecture, tech stacks, and dependency webs. Scrambling to link faces with systems and knowing who to call during a crisis can be stressful.
And then there’s the real kicker: How do you gauge the true business fallout from an outage, and and determine the best course of action? What if Observability Tools could pull something like your IDE, learning from “anonymous usage stats” to improve over time for everyone on the team? Imagine tapping into the instincts of senior engineers and sharing their troubleshooting savvy across the board. My talk dives into how Retrieval Augmented Techniques (RAG) in AI can make this more seamless in reality.

KEYNOTE (CLOUDX): CloudZero -- Streamlining the Digital Factory: Lean Cloud Computing for Next-Gen Software Development
Wednesday November 6, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
Erik Peterson, CloudZero, CTO & Founder

The cloud-centric world has turned every line of code into a buying decision and highlighted the economic aspects of software design. After first struggling with the ramifications of this, (and a meager $3000.00 budget on my first cloud project in 2009) I discovered how cloud economics presented an opportunity to merge efficiency concepts taken from classic manufacturing with modern software engineering and architecture.

Since that time we have seen an industry wide focus on cloud cost management and new practices like FinOps emerge, but few have explored how to apply cloud economics directly to modern DevOps practices resulting in million dollar lines of code and unprofitable system design that has soured some on cloud computing as a whole. My experience however has been very different. I will share the lessons I've learned over the last 15 years treating cost as a key non-functional requirement during development.

By integrating the Theory of Constraints, Lean Manufacturing, and unit economics, alongside cloud cost efficiency goals and performance as crucial inputs, I will share a strategy that fosters continuous improvement and boosts profitability under current consumption-based cloud pricing models. This approach ensures an economical path from concept to deployment, and ongoing operations, without compromising innovation and time-to-market.

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.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Automating Large-Scale Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Cluster Lifecycle Management
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
Sourav Khandelwal, Databricks, Sr Software Engineer

Managing a vast fleet of Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP is often fraught with inefficient manual processes involving scripts and pipelines. These methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and consume valuable engineering resources. In this session, I will present how we addressed these challenges at Databricks by developing an automated system for the lifecycle management of over a thousand multi-cloud-managed Kubernetes clusters.
Our solution features a Kubernetes-style continuous reconciliation mechanism for cluster provisioning and deprovisioning, a fast and reliable cluster state change discovery system integrated with Databricks’ product services, and blue-green cluster rotations (cluster swaps) that allow for seamless upgrades by creating new clusters with updated configurations and shifting workloads without downtime.
This automation enables us to implement major infrastructure changes and upgrade Kubernetes versions with low risk through staged rollouts, seamless rollbacks, zero downtime, and minimal operator intervention. I will share our methodologies and experiences in constructing this loosely coupled system that orchestrates product workloads and cloud provider APIs.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Ephemeral Development Environment: Sometimes Short-Lived Isn't All That
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
Ramiro Berrelleza, Okteto, Founder

We've been told to look for long-lasting things and products, but one thing that's better when it's short-lived and ephemeral is: ephemeral development environments.

Development environments refer to the tools and platforms developers use to write, test, and debug their code. In today's fast-paced technology world, developers must be able to adapt quickly and efficiently, which is where ephemeral development environments come in handy.

This talk will cover and show the advantages of these environments over traditional setups:

- easy to experiment with different ideas
- no pains of dependency management
- easily replicable and maintainable thanks to version control
- always up to date and secure
- reduces clutter and technical debt

The talk will also connect these advantages to real-world outcomes organizations care about - developer productivity and happiness, and time to market.

OPEN SESSION (API): Automated Retry Strategy: A Smart Way to Provision Cloud Resources
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST
Vicky Deliwala, Cisco Systems, Software Engineering Leader

In the modern era of the cloud environment, users needs to think about handling the temporary service interruptions caused by API and micro-services failure.
As the applications interact with remote services and cloud resources, transient faults are more likely to be encountered.
Events such as API’s throttle limits, connection failures, Quota exhaustion, power outage etc. can lead to such unwanted
faults and not so good user experience.

The best practice in such scenarios is to come up with an automated and intelligent retry mechanism which can hide the temporary exceptions from the customers. Challenges faced while designing such strategy are fault identification, tracking
Retry counter, appropriate log instrumentation and custom fallback. This presentation will focus on defining a smart Retry strategy along with specific guidelines to overcome
such challenges gracefully. Through a deep dive into real world scenario, this session will walk-through the design/architecture of RESTful API’s to provision OpenStack VMs along with NoSQL. It will showcase the profound Retry Logic implementation
using the Cron job and scheduler which can significantly improve user experience.

Most important things that people will learn from presentation:

- Transient failures in cloud native apps and how to utilize smart and profound logic to mitigate those challenges.
- Walk through the workflow of a real life scenario to understand the best practices in integrating automated Retry strategy while designing API driven micro-services.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Mastering Latency: Efficient Data Processing through Tiered Storage Techniques
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
Rayees Pasha, RisingWave Labs, Head of Product

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.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Why Is Idempoteny a Crucial Piece of Software Development Infrastructure in Cloud Native World
Wednesday November 6, 2024 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST
Geetha Anne, Temporal, Data Jedi

Have you encountered a scenario where, while working on a feature or resolving a bug, you discovered that duplicate records were being generated in a database, or duplicate charges or orders were being processed? Have you handled situations where services communicate asynchronously over the network, idempotency becomes essential to handle message retries, network failures, and eventual consistency among services. Ensuring idempotency is essential, particularly with the help of durable execution systems like Temporal. In this session, we'll delve into the concept of idempotency, elucidating its significance in simplifying the management of cloud based software systems. Through examples and exploration of intricate cases, we'll demonstrate how idempotency can be leveraged effectively with Temporal.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Is Your Engineering Org Really Prepared for the GenAI Revolution?!
Wednesday November 6, 2024 4:00pm - 4:25pm PST
Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

GenAI has gone from generally available, novel technology to widely adopted in a matter of months. Most engineering organizations are using GenAI to generate code, write tests, and assist in code reviews. New code is becoming dirt cheap to write - but our delivery pipelines remain miserably unprepared for the tsunami of new code flowing at a much more rapid pace.

Our current pipelines need a hard reset to prepare us for the GenAI revolution - and engineering managers need to get started TODAY.

This talk will dive into where GenAI is starting to break down our delivery pipelines. While scaling CI/CD is easy, and we can always add a few more workers, scaling the humans in the process is the hard part. This talk will demonstrate how massive amounts of new machine-generated code will impact our pipelines, in ways that will require either greater headcount, or smarter, automated pipelines. You'll come away with ideas for how to modernize your delivery pipeline so you can fully embrace the GenAI revolution.
