Jan Lepsky, mogenius GmbH, Co-founder and CPO

Today, software teams frequently face significant challenges with Kubernetes operations. Developers often grapple with limited visibility, constrained independence, and restricted access to resources within Kubernetes environments. Concurrently, DevOps teams are tasked with daily support duties such as provisioning environments, monitoring usage, and managing governance across multiple clusters, which prevents them from focusing on core DevOps initiatives. These issues contribute to a poor developer experience, reduced productivity, and increased frustration within teams. This talk will delve into strategies for enabling developer self-service in Kubernetes, emphasizing how to maintain both flexibility and control over infrastructure to enhance overall efficiency and satisfaction.

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.

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.

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:30pm - 2:55pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

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.

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.

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): 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.
