PRO WORKSHOP (CloudX): Your Serverless Streaming Data Pipeline in Python

Tuesday November 5, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Bobur Umurzokov, GlassFlow, Developer Advocate

We often hear stories from Kafka users about taking nine months to implement production-ready Kafka-based data pipelines. We see customers having 50 teams relying on a single Kafka cluster managed by one person. Data engineers cannot easily simulate a production environment without a complex initial setup. Or data scientists struggle with data integration, building an offline ML pipeline to experiment, reproduce models, and debug them locally. Let's explore how to skip the headache of creating computing clusters, managing partitions, shards, and workers' setup.

The talk demonstrates a different way of implementing a cost-efficient serverless streaming pipeline using pure Python. We will leverage technologies like KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) with integrated NATS Jetstream for the distribution of real-time events and Fission serverless framework to run lambda-like functions on Kubernetes.

Wednesday November 6, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

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

CloudX -- Stage 1

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.

Ruchir Jha, Cardinal, CEO

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.
Join me to explore how we can turn troubleshooting into a collective superpower!

KEYNOTE (CLOUDX): CloudZero -- Streamlining the Digital Factory: Lean Cloud Computing for Next-Gen Software Development

Wednesday November 6, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

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.

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.

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

CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage

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.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Is Your Engineering Org Really Prepared for the GenAI Revolution?!

Wednesday November 6, 2024 4:00pm - 4:25pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

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.

Sravan Yella, Hewlett Packard, Lead Solutions Engineer

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing, particularly through social media, presents profound opportunities and ethical challenges that demand careful consideration. As AI technologies like Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and predictive analytics become central to marketing strategies, they facilitate unparalleled personalization and efficiency in analyzing vast datasets and optimizing marketing efforts. Despite these advancements enhancing customer engagement by 40% and reducing operational costs by 30%, the rapid proliferation of AI tools in marketing raises significant ethical concerns. Key issues include the potential for data privacy breaches, the accuracy and bias in AI algorithms, and the lack of transparency in AI-driven decisions. These challenges not only affect consumer trust, which has seen a decline of 20% in brands using AI indiscriminately but also pose risks to brand integrity and compliance with evolving regulatory frameworks. To navigate this landscape responsibly, this presentation will explore best practices and frameworks for ethical AI usage in marketing. We will discuss the implementation of rigorous data governance protocols that ensure user data protection and privacy, techniques for auditing and mitigating biases in AI models to boost decision transparency, and strategies for maintaining compliance with international data use regulations. By fostering an ethical AI deployment approach, companies can enhance customer satisfaction by 25% and improve brand loyalty. This talk aims to equip professionals with actionable insights to leverage AI in marketing ethically and sustainably, ensuring long-term business success and consumer trust.

This abstract emphasizes the balance between leveraging AI's capabilities and addressing ethical considerations, backed by relevant data points to enhance its appeal to conference reviewers.

OPEN SESSION (API): Unlocking Live Data Access for AI

Thursday November 7, 2024 10:00am - 10:25am PST

API World -- OPEN Workshop Stage

Anushrut Gupta, Hasura, Senior Product Manager, Generative AI

“Over the last 3 months, summarize the top billing issues faced by my enterprise customers within the first 30 days of their onboarding.”

On the surface, building an internal AI customer intelligence application that can answer questions like this is a perfect use-case for Gen AI.
However, building a production ready app that retrieves the data (RAG) before hauling it off to your favorite LLM for summarization soon becomes a terrible engineering experience.

The data is spread across 3 places: a tickets database (eg: elastic), a CRM (eg: salesforce) and your user-accounts transactional database (eg: postgres).
In production, your app can’t access the data from these databases directly. Given security & privacy concerns, your app won’t have direct access to these databases.
Making independent retrieval requests to each of these sources and then joining them in memory might be prohibitively expensive and needs a level of query planning to do efficiently.
Moving all data into one location is expensive to build, maintain and govern
Predictable quality is further made hard because underlying data formats and storage interfaces are continuously changing.
Different types of user queries might require additional filtering and joining of data, which becomes hard to generalize.

APIs solve almost all of these very well known challenges. APIs offer standardization and security. APIs can provide a stable contract to interact with underlying data.

And in all likelihood, you already have APIs on these internal and external data sources.

Ironically, while APIs have become a necessity for other parts of the stack, they are clearly not the first thing that AI engineers building RAG reach for.

In this talk, we’ll discuss:
Why API based retrieval doesn’t work well for RAG
What we need from our existing internal and external APIs to make them RAG ready
How we can get existing APIs to become RAG ready without needing to rebuild the APIs

This talk will be technical, with code demos (possibly with some live coding!) and end with key resources (reference architectures, API best practices, tools/technologies) that attendees can take back to their work.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): 5 Steps to VEX Success: Managing the End-to-End Workflow

Thursday November 7, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Cortez Frazier Jr., FOSSA, Principal Product Manager

If you work in vulnerability management or DevSecOps programs, you’re probably familiar with the painful condition known as CVE overload. Each year, tens of thousands of new vulnerabilities are reported, which causes stress and late nights for the teams tasked with remediating them.

And that’s not to mention the herculean tax of distinguishing between potential vulnerabilities and confirmed vulnerabilities. The reality that most vulnerabilities are only potentially exploitable (as determined by the deployed context of each package) also means remediation often results in a lot of wasted time and effort.

A proposed solution is VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange): a set of formats that communicates vulnerability impact status, whether a vulnerability is exploitable in its deployed context, and mitigation steps. In theory, VEX (when used alongside other prioritization inputs) makes it possible to remediate more efficiently. But as with most security frameworks, efficacy depends on proper implementation.

This talk will cover five steps to leveraging VEX throughout the vulnerability remediation lifecycle, from the time a vulnerability is disclosed to the time you publish and distribute a VEX statement. We’ll cover the tools and workflows teams need to know to effectively use VEX in their organizations.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX):: Managing Data Security in Multi-Cloud Environments

Thursday November 7, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST

API World -- Main Stage

Kevin Hunt, Cloud Storage Security, CTO

Ransomware attacks, breaches, data exfiltration, and insider disclosures are occurring every day around the world. Legacy thinking on providing data security has been focused on the application and platform or operating system. This leads to a somewhat chaotic data security landscape that is likely to have holes and missed handoffs. Modern enterprise systems use and store data using the most effective platform that delivers the convenience and performance required. This open-ended approach to data handling should be addressed through an equally open and flexible approach to securing data regardless of where it is stored or how and when it is used.
Businesses should take a holistic view of their data security to ensure that unintended gaps and inconsistencies that may open the door for threat propagation are detected and mitigated. Enacting multiple layers of data management practices ensures that both stored and inflight data is clean.
This keynote will draw on the Data Security Maturity Model (DSMM) to illustrate the challenges developers and users face in the open landscape of current application deployments. Placing a strong focus on a layered framework that provides consistent and robust security for data as it is used, this approach incorporates seamless malware scanning and detection that provides a constant watch for irregularities and threats.

OPEN SESSION (CloudX): The Critical Role of Observability in Cloud Native Applications: Ensuring Reliability and Minimizing Downtime

Thursday November 7, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Greg Leffler, Splunk, Director of Developer Evangelism - Observability

As organizations have moved to the cloud and increased their pace of innovation to ship software more often, it becomes harder to validate the impact of changes – both to their business and to their customers’ experience. That’s where Observability comes into play. Observability has emerged as a critical aspect of cloud native applications due to its ability to provide comprehensive insights into the complex and dynamic environments these applications operate within. By enabling real-time monitoring, tracing, and logging, observability allows users to proactively identify and resolve performance issues, improve reliability and build better digital experiences. This is crucial in helping organizations lower the cost of unplanned downtime and be more resilient.

Downtime not only results in direct financial losses, often quantified in thousands of dollars per minute for large enterprises, but also incurs indirect costs such as reduced customer satisfaction, loss of trust, and potential long-term reputational damage. To illustrate these benefits, we will demonstrate a troubleshooting scenario in a microservice environment using an advanced observability tool, showcasing how timely insights can present and resolve issues efficiently. As a result, investing in robust observability tools and practices is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of cloud native applications, ultimately supporting business continuity and growth.

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Celina Stewart, Neuvik Solutions, Cyber Risk Lead

Although many organizations incorporate security into the Software Development Life Cycle, it is often treated as a compliance requirement rather than a purpose-built feature. Not treating security as a feature during the design process can lead to rework, extra complexity, or investment in functionality that does not actually address risk effectively. Further, poor integration of security can have a negative impact on otherwise well-designed applications and cause friction in user experience.

This talk encourages attendees to go beyond traditional threat modeling and defense-in-depth techniques to incorporate security as a purpose-built feature in applications. Attendees will receive tactical guidance on how to incorporate security proactively in the design process. Techniques discussed will include: how to use the organization’s risk outlook to prioritize security features; how to avoid unnecessary development costs by proactively anticipating friction in user experience; how to evaluate tradeoffs and invest in the security features needed to prevent the greatest risks.

Anup Ghatage, Salesforce, Lead Member of Technical Staff
Varun Shah, Salesforce, Software Engineer

At Salesforce, our team does Kubernetes deployments at the petabyte scale, with 100+ clusters, 10000+ pods, and 25+ PiB of provisioned storage and innumerable Kubernetes jobs. Operating at this massive scale necessitates an approach that reduces engineering toil. Maintaining such mammoth clusters while keeping security in mind is a whole different challenge.

We specifically talk about how and why we picked immutability and Infra-as-code as the cornerstone of our design and the challenges around it. Immutability provides security and scalability and eliminates config drift. Infra-as-code guarantees that changes to our infrastructure follow the same software lifecycle. but the trade-off is a lack of flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.

In this talk, we go over the unique design choices that help us manage, grow, and configure petabyte-scale deployments at Salesforce.

Tuesday November 12, 2024 12:00pm - 12:25pm PST

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A

Ryota Sawada, Civo, Principal Engineer

The CNCF ecosystem has exploded with a diverse array of tools, each solving a unique problem. However, integrating multiple projects often leads to challenges requiring manual intervention and custom solutions, with shell scripting commonly used as a temporary stopgap. This approach, predominantly utilising Bash, frequently results in maintenance headaches such as poor code readability and debugging difficulties.

Nushell presents a modern take on shell scripting, offering a more intuitive syntax by dropping POSIX-compliance. It includes YAML friendly data model as a fundamental design, built-in commands equivalent to curl and jq, supports simple and clear module structures, and eliminates the confusion of single vs. double quotes.

We will have a quick look at Bash vs. Nushell difference, some example case of how Nushell data model makes it easier to deal with YAML configs, and extra automation and CI/CD ideas using its module and test capabilities.

Tuesday November 12, 2024 2:00pm - 2:50pm PST

VIRTUAL CloudX -- Main Stage

Ken Huang, DistributedApps, CEO and Chief AI Officer

This presentation introduces a comprehensive framework for testing and validating the security of generative AI applications, particularly those built on large language models (LLMs). Developed by Ken Huang (the Speaker) and World Digital Technology Academy's AI Safety, Trust, and Responsibility (STR) working group, the framework addresses the new attack surfaces and risks introduced by generative AI.

The standard covers the entire AI application stack, including base model selection, embedding and vector databases, prompt execution/inference, agentic behaviors, fine-tuning, response handling, and runtime security. For each layer, it outlines specific testing methods and expected outcomes to ensure AI applications behave securely and as designed throughout their lifecycle.

Key areas of focus include model compliance, data usage checks, API security, prompt injection testing, output validation, and privacy protection. The framework also addresses emerging challenges like agentic behaviors, where AI agents autonomously perform tasks based on predefined objectives.

Josip Stuhli, Sofascore, CTO

A story of how our infrastructure evolved over time to accommodate an increasing number of users - from on-premise to cloud and back down.

How does one make an infrastructure to handle more than a couple of users?

How do you go from 100 to 1000 to 100,000 to tens of millions?

What happens when due to popular demand hundreds of thousands of users hit your servers at the same time?

I'll tell you a story of how a small team of people managed to move software and services from one server to two, and then to dozens on cloud and then back to on-premise. What we encountered on the way, where we failed, and how we solved it.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 12:30pm - 12:55pm PST

VIRTUAL API World -- Expo Discovery Stage

Darwin Sanoy, GitLab, Field CTO Office

Not having a DevSecOps Maturity Plan is like off-road racing in heavy fog.

This session lifts the fog to help you plan your way around hidden potholes, rocks, cliffs and trees.

An unplanned approach can end up adding substantial friction to the People, Process and Technology of DevSecOps.

In addition to your typical costs, the session will touch on economies of speed, value stream friction and the super-efficiency of aligning workflows with existing human habit loops.
 It will also discuss the frequent anti-pattern of comparing scaling-out DevSecOps capabilities to the cost of doing nothing, when it is well known that doing nothing is not really an option. 

Every DevSecOps maturity level carries costs - learn how smart choices can mean lower costs, less friction and better outcomes.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

VIRTUAL CloudX -- Main Stage

Arpit Shrivastava, Meta, Product Leader

Problem: The challenge at the heart of this presentation is the efficient training of AI models in scenarios where real-world data is limited, sensitive, or expensive to acquire. This issue is particularly pressing in fields such as autonomous vehicle development and medical research, where the quality and diversity of training data directly influence the performance and reliability of AI systems. Addressing this problem is crucial for advancing AI capabilities while ensuring ethical standards and privacy are upheld.

Methodology: To tackle this challenge, our approach involves the creation and use of synthetic data. The methodology encompasses techniques for generating high-fidelity, diverse synthetic datasets that mimic real-world complexities without compromising privacy or incurring high costs. Key techniques include Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), simulation-based synthesis, and rule-based data generation. The presentation will detail these methods, along with strategies for validating the realism and utility of synthetic data in training robust AI models.

Conclusions: Preliminary results demonstrate that synthetic data can significantly enhance AI model training, especially in constrained environments. By leveraging synthetic datasets, we've observed improvements in model accuracy, robustness, and generalizability across several applications. The presentation will outline these findings, showcasing examples where synthetic data has successfully bridged the gap between the data needs of AI systems and the limitations of real-world datasets.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): A Developer Self-Service Experience for Edge and IoT Come True

Thursday November 14, 2024 11:00am - 11:50am PST

VIRTUAL CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage

Carl Moberg, Avassa, CTO and co-founder
Amy Simonson, Avassa, Marketing Manager

Enough manual actions. Enough slow handovers. And enough K8mplexity.

For many innovative enterprises today, the journey to the centralized cloud has shaped the way of working when it comes to container orchestration and observability. Now, developers and IT teams are increasingly also managing containers at the distributed on-site edge and in IoT environments, which risk becoming a mind-boggling task due to the resource-constrained, distant nature of IoT and edge.

In this session, we address the challenges related to deploying, monitoring, observing, and securing container applications at the edge. We also present hands-on examples of what a self-service developer experience can look like for the container applications at the distributed edge and IoT infrastructure. It's automated, it's application-centric and it's astonishingly easy.

Timothy Spann, Zilliz, Principal Developer Advocate

In this talk I walk through various use cases where bringing real-time data to LLM solves some interesting problems.

In one case we use Apache NiFi to provide a live chat between a person in Slack and several LLM models all orchestrated via NiFi and Kafka. In another case NiFi ingests live travel data and feeds it to HuggingFace and OLLAMA LLM models for summarization. I also do live chatbot. We also augment LLM prompts and results with live data streams. All with ASF projects. I call this pattern FLaNK AI.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN SESSION (CloudX):Architecting platform services for mission-critical software systems

Thursday November 14, 2024 12:00pm - 12:25pm PST

VIRTUAL API World -- Expo Discovery Stage

Aman Sardana, Discover Financial Services, Senior Principal Application Architect

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create resilient and highly available platform services that support mission-critical software systems? Please join me to find out how you can set the right strategy and foundational architecture for building platform services that businesses can trust for their most critical workloads.

Payment systems that support real-time transaction processing are expected to be highly available and highly responsive 24/7/365. These systems must be fault-tolerant and resilient to any failures that might happen during payment transaction processing.
Mission-critical payment systems with distributed architecture often depend on platform services like distributed caching, messaging, event streaming, databases, etc. that should be independently designed for high availability and fault tolerance.
In this talk, I’ll share the approach we took for architecting and designing platform services within the payments domain that can be applied to any domain that supports business-critical processes. This methodological approach starts with establishing a capability view for platform services and then defining the implementation and physical views. You’ll also gain an understanding of other aspects of platform services like provisioning, security, observability, testing, and automation that are important for creating a well-rounded platform strategy supporting business-critical systems.

[Virtual Exclusive] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Green DevOps: Building Sustainable Software

Thursday November 14, 2024 12:30pm - 12:55pm PST

VIRTUAL CloudX -- Expo Innovation Stage

Neel Shah, Internauts Infotech, Devops Community

In today's world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront of our minds, it's crucial to consider the impact of our actions, including those within the tech industry. Software development, while driving innovation and progress, also contributes to a significant carbon footprint. This is where Green DevOps steps in, offering a powerful solution for building software that is both efficient and environmentally friendly.

Green DevOps refers to the practice of integrating sustainable practices into your software development lifecycle. This means implementing tools, techniques, and methodologies that minimize the environmental impact of software development and delivery. By adopting Green DevOps, you can achieve significant benefits, including:

Reduced energy consumption: Green DevOps practices help optimize resource utilization, leading to lower energy consumption throughout your development process. This not only translates to cost savings but also minimizes the carbon footprint of your software.

Improved resource efficiency: Green DevOps encourages developers to utilize resources wisely, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. This can involve practices like code optimization, infrastructure right-sizing, and efficient testing processes.

Enhanced software quality: Green DevOps principles encourage a focus on quality from the very beginning of the development process. This leads to fewer bugs and defects, resulting in software that is more reliable and requires fewer resources to maintain.

I would cover most of this topics in my talk.
