Auditing Your Automation's Access: Using More Automation
Between CI/CD pipelines, container orchestrators, and developer debugging tools, more and more automation is needed to scale your systems. But how do you know if that automation is accessing the right systems at the right time? And how do you ensure that your automation is safe from exploits by unauthorized users?
Changing Perspectives: A Deep Dive into the Security Posture of 600+ Real-World AWS Environments
Earlier this year, Datadog released the “State of AWS Security” study, which examined real-world data from more than 600 organizations and AWS accounts to understand the security posture of global AWS users who also leverage the Datadog Cloud Security Platform. Join Datadog’s Christophe Tafani-Dereeper and Andrew Krug as they explore some important insights from this study, such as the top ways organizations are breached on AWS and how tooling like Datadog Cloud Security Posture Management can help.
Deploying OpenTelemetry Organizationally: From Proof of Concept to In-Production at Scale
Observability involves telling a coherent story about an entire system. Over the years, video streaming service Pluto TV has had to navigate many storytellers in terms of observability vendors, tools, and formats before settling on OpenTelemetry to analyze and compare features across its many destination platforms. During this presentation, you'll see how Bharathi Ramachandran—Engineering Manager at Pluto TV—used OpenTelemetry to implement his initial proof of concept and get his entire organization shipping observability data at scale.
FinOps and Cloud Cost Optimization
As companies scale, it’s become increasingly important to keep cloud cost management and optimization top of mind. In this talk, Yuval Yogev from Sygnia walks you through Sygnia’s optimization journey of cutting their total cloud costs in half. Yogev also shares insights into how you can optimize your own organization’s cloud usage and spend.
Ask a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE)
Site reliability engineering (SRE) can be complicated, and at Datadog, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about SRE and refining how we implement it. Join Datadog’s Brandon West and Rick Mangi as they provide a brief overview of SRE and its core concepts. This video also contains a Q&A session from the live taping of this panel.
Scaling Up, One Network Bottleneck at a Time
Processing data at scale involves moving packets through a network—but what happens when that network isn't cooperative? Anatole Beuzon, a Software Engineer at Datadog, discusses how he investigated and resolved network issues in Datadog’s larger data-processing apps and how you can apply these same methods to your own production workloads.
I've Made a Huge Mistake: Implementing Agile on Infrastructure Teams
Bad planning methods can damage team morale and prevent teams from improving the systems they maintain. In this talk, Sam Handler from Shopify explains how his attempts to fix poor infrastructure planning processes through Agile methods failed. Drawing from this experience, he offers several principles that can help infrastructure teams improve the way they work.
Empower the SREs - Conclusions from The SRE Report 2023
Let's be honest, nobody loves surveys. Ok, well I sure don't. But surveys satisfy a huge need in our demand for insights into complex human-computer, sociotechnical systems. It turns out that we've been measuring the computer part pretty well, but the humans – not as easy to keep track of. When Google SRE first defined toil as a metric we wanted to reduce, we spent far too long trying to quantify it numerically based on tooling and insights from computer systems.
Observability is Still Broken. Here are 6 Reasons Why.
In an era where there’s no shortage of established best practices and tools, engineering teams are consistently finding their ability to prevent, detect and resolve production issues is only getting harder. Why is this the case? Our most recent DevOps Pulse Survey highlighted alarming trends to this end.
