Demo Roundup: PagerDuty Operations Cloud for Kubernetes

In this demo, Corbin Mills shows how to use the PagerDuty Operations Cloud to streamline and automate how a node failure is resolved. You’ll see how he uses event orchestration (in PagerDuty AIOps) to enrich an alert with pod names, and automatically runs a job to check the Kube API status, so that a responder has instant context. AIOps is also grouping and suppressing alerts. Then you’ll see how the responder can run more health status checks without the need to SSH into the environment or interrupt a co-worker for access.

The Unplanned Show, Episode 7: Death of the Single Security Pane of Glass with Heather Hinton

In this episode, Heather Hinton describes how security teams can evolve away from spending cycles on “silly little jobs” and scouring multiple sources to try to identify the kinds of unplanned interrupt work that needs to be dealth with urgently. Instead, they can complete projects faster and take on more because on-call rotations are spent getting work done (with the occasional interruption) instead of “seeking” for the interrupt work. We also discuss how this fits in with encouraging broader employees to participate in security hygiene practices.

How to Maximize Time Savings and Reduce Toil During Incident Response

Incidents are a costly burden on businesses. Despite assembling the right people and teams, the manual work, tool setup and prolonged tasks can negatively impact customer experience. The need for adaptable processes to address diverse incident types further complicates the situation. This is where the PagerDuty Operations Cloud steps in. It streamlines and automates all the various manual steps in the incident response process.

Failure Fridays at PagerDuty

Rich Lafferty, Staff SRE at PagerDuty and Stevenson Jean-Pierre, Senior Manager, Software Engineering at PagerDuty join Mandi Walls to talk about PagerDuty’s Failure Friday and Failure Any Day practices. PagerDuty has been using failure injection and chaos engineering methods to maintain the reliability of production services. Rich and SJP joined the PagerDuty live stream to talk about how the process works, how it has evolved, and how failure helps improve PagerDuty’s services.

10 Years of Failure Friday at PagerDuty: Fostering Resilience, Learning and Reliability

In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world of technology, failure is inevitable. Organizations should embrace failure as a learning opportunity for how to build and deliver more resilient services. At PagerDuty, we’ve practiced Failure Friday for 10 years now. Failure Friday–a practice inspired by the chaos engineering space–involves intentionally injecting failures into our systems to improve reliability and foster a proactive engineering culture.
