How To Move Fast Without Breaking Everything

Featuring Jamie Dobson

A move to the cloud is not exactly what is seems. Firstly, a move to the cloud is a managerial challenge, not a technical one. Secondly, a move to the cloud lies at the entrepreneurial end of the management spectrum, a long way away from the conservative end of the spectrum. Finally, because a...

Look At The Clouds From 10000 Feet Above

Featuring Liliana Ziolek

About a year ago one of Liliana's clients, a financial institution, came up with an idea for a "self-service data science platform" - a platform that would allow business users to work with variety of data in a rapid, agile environment. To choose the right technical solution her...

From Batch to Pipelines - Why Apache Mesos And DC/OS Are A Solution For Emerging Patterns In Cloud Native Applications

Featuring Matt Jarvis

Data processing paradigms are undergoing a paradigm shift as you move more and more towards real time processing. Emerging software models such as the SMACK stack are at the forefront of this change, focused on a pipeline processing model, but are also introducing new levels of operational...

Keynote: Deprecating Simplicity

Featuring Casey Rosenthal

When engineering teams take on a new project, they often optimize for performance, availability, or fault tolerance. More experienced teams can optimize for these properties simultaneously. Now add an additional property: feature velocity. Mental models of architecture can help you understand the...

Evolving Services Into The Cloud Native World - How Workday Manage Stateful Services With A Custom Controller On Kubernetes?

Featuring Iain Hull

How Workday manage stateful services with a custom controller on Kubernetes?

Kubernetes and declarative infrastructure greatly simplify the way we deploy and manage software. Most services can be orchestrated with the control loops supplied by Kubernetes (deployments, stateful sets or jobs). Some...

Using Containers And Kubernetes To Capitalize On Hybrid Cloud For HPC Workloads

Featuring Fritz Ferstl

The question is no longer whether to migrate HPC workloads to the cloud, but where and how to start. While the industry has been discussing migrating workloads to the cloud since the launch of AWS in 2006, concerns about latency, regulatory issues and lock-in have slowed HPC adoption until...

High-Compliance Kubernetes Security

Featuring Luke Bond

Zero-day exploits are a regular part of complex systems. How would you survive the next Heartbleed? Do you know what libraries you are running in production? If a vulnerability is exploited, can data be exfiltrated? Container technologies make it easier for you to avoid becoming the next Equifax....
