PRO SESSION (CloudX): Which Vault? Don’t Tell Me Your Secret(s)!
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!

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): 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.

Fred Koopmans, BigPanda, Chief Product Officer

Context is fundamental to well-run tech operations: With the right context, IT teams can better understand their systems, interpret real-time data quickly, and facilitate better incident management to achieve operational efficiency. But too often, gathering the necessary context is a lengthy, inconsistent, and elusive process. IT teams are forced to grapple with fragmented tools, siloed workflows, and inconsistent manual processes, which have turned context collection into a definitive pain point for the ITOps industry. Teams are losing out on precious time, money, and attention that should be directed towards digital transformation and innovation.

The tech industry has recently transformed thanks to the AI boom: ITOps is at a critical juncture where AI can enable faster, more efficient ITOps as well as deliver Full-Context Operations. Fred Koopmans, Chief Product Officer of AIOps platform BigPanda, will speak to the promise of Full-Context Operations – the process of unifying IT teams’ tools and processes with AI to provide the institutional knowledge needed to address every incident immediately. He’ll dive deep into the ways that teams can tangibly benefit from having the right context, outlining how the IT industry can leverage AI to collect comprehensive and contextual data to help operators achieve better incident resolution. Fred can share detailed proof points from developing BigPanda’s AI-powered assistant that was purpose-built for delivering full context in IT operations. With Full-Context Operations, the IT industry can finally fulfill the long-sought-after promise of AIOps, putting AI into practice to deliver unprecedented operational efficiency.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Virtual] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): The Critical Role of Observability in Cloud Native Applications: Ensuring Reliability and Minimizing Downtime
Thursday November 14, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
VIRTUAL 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.

[Virtual] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Unlocking the Promise of AIOps: Leveraging AI to Realize Full-Context Operations
Thursday November 14, 2024 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST
VIRTUAL CloudX -- Main Stage
Fred Koopmans, BigPanda, Chief Product Officer

Context is fundamental to well-run tech operations: With the right context, IT teams can better understand their systems, interpret real-time data quickly, and facilitate better incident management to achieve operational efficiency. But too often, gathering the necessary context is a lengthy, inconsistent, and elusive process. IT teams are forced to grapple with fragmented tools, siloed workflows, and inconsistent manual processes, which have turned context collection into a definitive pain point for the ITOps industry. Teams are losing out on precious time, money, and attention that should be directed towards digital transformation and innovation.

The tech industry has recently transformed thanks to the AI boom: ITOps is at a critical juncture where AI can enable faster, more efficient ITOps as well as deliver Full-Context Operations. Fred Koopmans, Chief Product Officer of AIOps platform BigPanda, will speak to the promise of Full-Context Operations – the process of unifying IT teams’ tools and processes with AI to provide the institutional knowledge needed to address every incident immediately. He’ll dive deep into the ways that teams can tangibly benefit from having the right context, outlining how the IT industry can leverage AI to collect comprehensive and contextual data to help operators achieve better incident resolution. Fred can share detailed proof points from developing BigPanda’s AI-powered assistant that was purpose-built for delivering full context in IT operations. With Full-Context Operations, the IT industry can finally fulfill the long-sought-after promise of AIOps, putting AI into practice to deliver unprecedented operational efficiency.

[Virtual] OPEN SESSION (CloudX): Shifting the Perspective on Security: Putting Security Back in the Design Process
Thursday November 14, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST
VIRTUAL 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.
