When starting a new application build, starting with an eye on resiliency prevents headaches down the line. There are many ways to tackle this, especially within different language environments and system eco-systems, but there are many shared across them all. Getting a high-level take-away list to use as a reference later, from a dive into them during this talk, viewers will learn how to develop software that is more fault-tolerant and able to with-stand impact of failures.

We built support for SLOs (Service Level Objectives) against our event store so we could monitor our own complex distributed system. In the process of doing so, we learned that there were a number of important aspects that we didn’t expect from carefully reading the SRE workbook. This talk is the story of the missing pieces, unexpected pitfalls, and how we solved those problems. We’d like to share what we learned and how we iterated on our SLO adventure.

Within DevOps, automation has become a North Star. We want to automate the toil away, but the goal of "no toil" is unattainable. Many runbooks can only be partially automated because they still require human intervention and insights. Human-in-the-Loop DevOps is the idea that we can benefit from automating toil while still embracing the human interaction in specific tasks.

For more than a decade, many of us have been working to bring Devops to organizations around the world. We’ve made amazing progress, but there’s so much more to do. Now that we have continuous integration & deployment widespread and developers are taking more ownership of production, what’s next? Amy will talk about what Resilience Engineering is, how it relates to devops, and how she thinks it gives us the science and research we need to take our organizations to the next level of robustness while remaining agile and growing our ability to care for the people around us.

In this video, you’ll learn how to identify right sizing opportunities for your EC2 instances utilizing Datadog metric dashboards. Optimizing your cloud footprint for cost efficiency can be a huge task, especially for large and scaling environments. Utilizing time series data and toplists, Datadog dashboards allow you to see chronically underutilized EC2s in your AWS environment. Template variables allow you to sort EC2s by teams and instance types, so you quickly identify the scope of cost saving opportunities across your organization.

IT industry experts from BT, Fujitsu, and Windstream discuss how organizations evolve to support automation and AIOps, how skillsets are changing, and securing buy-in for tomorrow's autonomous ITOps.

A brief introduction to Service Request Automation using the Kelverion Runbook Suite. The Kelverion Runbook Suite provides a cloud automation platform with a range of automation tools including; a rich graphical design experience, smart integrations, ready built solutions and the option of an easy to configure self-service automation portal.

A truly comprehensive Digital Experience Monitoring strategy requires monitoring from the perspective of the end user with an outside-in approach. Solutions that claim to offer DEM often use nodes placed in cloud providers to conduct synthetic monitoring tests, which doesn't emulate the flow of traffic from actual users. Learn how Catchpoint's DEM platform provides true observability data that ensures availability, reachability, performance, and reliability through proactive synthetic and real user monitoring.

Wanting to measure the latency of user requests, and know how long each microservice takes to return a response? In this episode of Stack Doctor, we’ll walk you through how to use OpenTelemetry for tracing, and how this tool shows how your requests traverse your service and how each service contributes to overall latency.
