DevOps Days Madrid 2020 Podcast

DevOpsDays is a worldwide series of community run technical conferences covering topics of software development, IT infrastructure operations, and the intersection between them. It is run by volunteers from community, for the benefit of the community. We are not a commercial conference and we believe that our focus on serving the community creates a truly unique experience for both delegates and sponsors.

    The Elephant in the Kubernetes Room - Team Interactions - Manuel Pais

    Vídeo with the slides: https://youtu.be/gFNTiTMVqjE ------------- Kubernetes helps us tame sprawling microservices architectures and addressing the increased operational complexity. Kubernetes gives developers abstractions and APIs to deploy and run their services. Yet, the elephant in the room is that to run, maintain and evolve the Kubernetes clusters, we need more ops expertise and most likely a dedicated team to do so. The question that begs to be asked is if we are going back to pre-DevOps isolation between Dev and Ops teams? Is the tradeoff between better operational tools and introducing a new dependency layer on the path for application teams to deliver and run their services worthwhile? Are we making life easier for application teams or instead reducing their end-to-end ownership? Team Topologies is a structured approach for thinking about teams responsibilities and interactions which can help us get the most value out of Kubernetes adoption. This talk draws on research and case studies from the Team Topologies book by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais (IT Revolution Press, 2019) together with first-hand consulting experience from the authors with organizations around the world. ------------- Otras charlas de DevOps Days también en podcast: https://lk.autentia.com/DevOpsDays20-iVoox ¡Conoce Autentia!

    Seeing RED: Adventures in Multi dimensional Monitoring - Dave McAllister

    Otras charlas de DevOps Days también en podcast: https://lk.autentia.com/DevOpsDays20-iVoox We now have lots of “tools” for operations in cloud-native. Yet they all seem to suffer from the impact of single POV. And at the same time, we have more complexity, in infrastructure with the adoption of orchestration, cloud elasticity, microservices and FaaS. Piled on with heavily request-driven models, the old style of reacting to anomalies and headaches fails. With RED, unlike the modern belief in metrics, your architecture is watched from aspects of multiple dimensions. You receive alerts and indications not just from anomalies, but also from headache alerts. By seeing multiple dimensions of concerns, be they failures in service or activity to close to the edge of capability, these combined monitors and deep-dive, focused access get you to your root cause faster, with less false positives and quicker resolution. Thus, we need an understanding of RED, designed to meet the precise conditions now prevalent in our applications. RED clearly has advantages over competing models (Golden Signals and USE) specifically with respect to DevOps models (and Devs). Through a deep dive into what this multi-dimensional problem AND multi-dimensional approach to resolution will help reduce the production scale and fail panics we see in the industry. So RED gives you the framework to build alerting, monitoring and analysis into a flexible structure to meet the emerging needs of services-based cloud-native architectures as well as give you the capability to grow as your environment scales. This talk will dive into RED, what it is and how it fits in the modern world of services and explore how RED can expand to deliver faster Mean Time to Recognize and Mean Time to Respond.

    Growing into new roles beyond the cloud - Daiany Palacios

    Otras charlas de DevOps Days también en podcast: https://lk.autentia.com/DevOpsDays20-iVoox Site-reliability engineer roles did not exist 10 years ago. With the growing cloud adoption, we find roles in the market that didn’t exist 5 years ago: “Cloud-Native engineers”, “Cloud-Architects”, etc. Where do suitable candidates appear from? My answer: people evolve into those new roles. For the companies it’s faster to find people with the right (but not necessarily perfect) combination of the required skills in this way than trying to find someone filling in all new job requirements. And for us, employees, it’s a chance to grow and take on new professional challenges, which is usually combined with a boost on the motivation (and on the salary!). It’s a win-win situation. Stepping into the unknown requires courage. I’ve been in this adventure since early this year when I joined a cloud-migration project as an engineer in a platform team coming from a system analyst role in a product team. The technological learning curve has been very steep and difficult, but other kind of skills have been my key to tackle the challenge and not to lose sanity in the way. In this talk I will take the audience in a journey from catching the opportunity, starting in the new role, growing into it and learning to be prepared for whatever is coming next. I will provide tips on how to improve our self-confidence, self-awareness, adaptability and effective learning through storytelling with daily-work examples that anyone can hopefully use whenever it’s time to step out of the comfort zone and grow into any new role, even beyond the cloud.

    De silos y barreras a castillos y murallas - Verónica Moreno y Antonio García

    Otras charlas de DevOps Days también en podcast: https://lk.autentia.com/DevOpsDays20-iVoox En los últimos años no paramos de oír a las empresas que quieren “ser” ágiles y que quieren “hacer” DevOps para mejorar su Time To Market, automatizar tareas, migrar a cloud, reducir recursos… sí, suena raro pero es el discurso real que existe en España. Con esta charla queremos dar nuestra visión, basada en experiencias diarias, de cómo se está aplicando actualmente Agile y DevOps en las empresas. Se introducen gran variedad de herramientas y tecnologías en los procesos de la organización, sin tener en cuenta que la finalidad de las mismas es fortalecer y facilitar el día a día de los equipos de trabajo. Se crean nuevos equipos dedicados, como Cloud o DevOps, más los existentes tradicionalmente, como Sistemas, QA, Arquitectura, etc, cuya finalidad es seguir vigilando y controlando lo que hacen otros, sin integrarse ni implicarse en el ciclo de vida de un producto software. Todos esto nos aleja, aun más, del objetivo principal, el usuario y el trabajo en equipo. Esta estructura departamental y vertical rompe totalmente los principios básicos del movimiento DevOps, por lo que intentaremos enumerar y compartir los pain points y las causas raíz, identificados en las organizaciones, que impiden implementar una cultura Agile DevOps. Con todo lo que hemos comentado anteriormente, nos damos cuenta de que estamos fortaleciendo los silos y las barreras iniciales convirtiéndolas ahora en castillos y murallas. Nuestra intención es intentar que los asistentes salgan de esta charla con el objetivo de derribar definitivamente las barreras y muros que siguen existiendo.
