I'm a developer. I barely know what Nagios is, let alone how to set it up or configure new alerts. But I do know a lot about the application I'm working on, and I know how to code. By building a framework for easily adding new monitoring rules, the operations team at Swiftype has opened up application-level monitoring for the whole development team. I'll talk about the tools we wrote and explain how they allow developers to easily add new monitoring checks that probe our application (including web services, queues, and database) and alert the team by email, chat, or phone.

I'll show how to use the monitoring framework we wrote, but I'll also use this collaboration as a jumping off point to discuss how I think developers and operations can work together to build software faster and keep it reliable, based on our experiences at Swiftype.

At Bloom Health, we're operating in a highly regulated environment (including HIPAA & PII) while at the same time running our infrastructure in public cloud. This leads to a number of considerations and tradeoffs when choosing the various parts of our stack. I'll detail the considerations we've undertaken, the compromises and winding paths towards workable solutions, and the specific technologies we've found work better for us as in-house solutions versus those where we've found SaaS to be the optimal (or at least acceptable) choice.

The IT community in the public sector has a sizeable, but frequently forgotten influence on peoples lives. Have you tried to renew a license plate online recently? How about navigated https://www.healthcare.gov/ to get health insurance? Used online learning tools for a public educational institution? Have any of these experiences been pleasant, or what you would expect from a well run modern website? These websites are your tax dollars at work. Are there reasons why we maybe aren't seeing the cultural ideas of DevOps reaching public sector IT shops as quickly?

Public sector organizations differ greatly from private sector organizations with regards to structure, motivations and funding. Other factors such as government mandates for the existence of these organizations, tenured employees and reliance on antiquated domain specific applications can exacerbate the issues caused by these differences.

In the past year or so, we've seen how the discussions around DevOps in enterprise organizations have opened up discussion of many of these cultural ideas to more traditional corporate settings. For DevOps ideas to gain influence the thousands of public sector IT workers, we need to recognize that they too have a separate subset of problems and challenges and start a conversation about how to tackle these issues. This talk will seek to begin that conversation, explain some of the cultural differences between the public and private sectors, explain some of the challenges the public sector faces when trying to break down silos and explain why and how we should evangelize to public sector employees.

Devops has come a long way in the 5+ years since its inception. From simply breaking down silos and automating/measuring all the things, we’ve grown and started talking recently about complexity and inclusivity, burnout and empathy. We started trying to make people's professional lives better in the fields of development and operations; this expanded in two dimensions: both including more teams (QA! Databases! Even security!) and outside of the office, encouraging people to think about burnout and work-life balance.

What’s missing from this picture? Or rather, what’s next for devops? I’d like to propose that, as the lines between the “online” world and the “real” world blur and fade away to nothing, we expand our view of devops to cover this whole new world. Let’s expand our empathy beyond just the tech industry, following the examples of B Corporations who work towards social and environmental good. And let’s talk about how we can make the world better, more empathetic, and safer for everyone, online and off.

This is a story of an Infrastructure team at Zalora that implemented DevOps using Haskell and Nix.

The story is about:

• drowning in inherent complexity of existing Puppet configuration
• establishing a functional programming community inside the company
• implementing configuration management using purely-functional language and package manager Nix and using NixOS as the base OS
• challenges of using new tools at scale
• building cloud infrastructure tools using Haskell
• building a code-driven deployment platform borrowing design practices from Erlang/OTP, Mesos and other successful distributed system frameworks, accommodating engineering team growth
• overcoming adoption failures and finally reaching operational happiness

This presentation covers the current state of the Devops movement as presented by one of the original "Core Organizers" of the movement. The presentation will look at some of the taxonomies that have been used to describe Devops such as CAMS and ICE. It will also cover the recent 2015 Devops Survey and we will end up with a discussion about how Devops is being adopted in the enterprise.

At Viki, we run a number of micro services that process thousands of requests per second in various geographical regions. Micro service architecture helps us break down the complexity of building a large distributed system, but also introduces the complexity of debugging an issue.

This talk is about log processing at scale - building an Elasticsearch cluster that can handle tens of thousands of events per second from all levels of a micro-service container based architecture.

My first exposure to a DevOps Days was in 2010. I was an early adopter of most of the tools, took part in the heated iClassify debate, was contributing to Chef before it had a name, back when it was still a pet project at HJK Solutions.. As things evolved, we tried the offshoots that we hoped would fill the gaps.. MCollective, opscode-agent, but really we were just trading one problem for another..

DevOps Days was started in this gap, and over the years I have seen more and more vendor and product encroachment, and fewer people (especially outside of SF) who grasp the roots and the spirit out of which this event was born.

I will be talking about the original spirit of DevOps Days, which i feel started in 1942, and has mutated into a flavor specific to our modern world. I will not be discussing any vendor products, and this is not a sales pitch for anything.

As service providers(Telco's) begin to transform their business to embrace Virtualization & Cloud ( ie SDN & NFV) their network operations/service delivery teams needs to evolve. While Virtualization & Cloud make it easy to rapidly expand the size of infrastructure, but the habits and practices they used in the past with hardware-based infrastructure don't keep up. The Network operations teams need to adopt IT’s DevOps practices to maximize the potential benefits of the evolving software-defined infrastructure. This includes adopting new tools that enhance agility, implementing agile operational and organizational models and procedures, and in some cases adopting a new culture. The benefits of such an approach are compelling: lower costs and increased agility, including the ability to implement new services in days rather than weeks or months

In this session, we will look at how to take advantage of technologies like cloud, virtualization, and configuration automation to manage IT infrastructure using patterns, practices, and ideas that have been adopted from software development, especially Agile concepts, and brought into the Network Operations world as part of the DevOps movement. Also, we will also go through the challenges and problems created by all these new tools, and the principles and mindset changes that a team needs to make to use them effectively.

There was a company which had typical long running releases and the business was not happy. Business wanted change but IT was not sure how to deliver. Then they heard about Agile. It looked like the magic potion to all their problems.They started doing Agile but it just meant more work for the team and a chaos during the last days of the sprint. Operations was still not happy. Then they heard about another magic potion called Devops, which forced them to think about continuous delivery. I'll talk about the various tools being used in order to bring about this change and what were the challenges that they faced in this journey.The talk has two dimensions: First, The tool chain and Second, how the team was convinced to hop on this journey of continuos delivery. Let me begin by saying that both of the points are equally important and correlated because convincing a team to change is very difficult if the tool selection is not right. I'll also get into a demo of the working pipeline using this toolset.

REA Group is the parent company of one of the most popular Australian websites - realestate.com.au.

Over the past 7 years REA Group has scaled from a 30 odd IT workforce to 200 across multiple locations.

From Waterfall to Agile. From archaic to an employer of choice.

Over my 7 years at REA we have lessons which I’d love to share on

• Hiring Operations and Developers
• Getting Operations and Developers to collaborate
• Optimising teams to be more effective
• Overcoming cultural differences in a distributed team - particularly Asian and Western cultures
• How to knowledge share technical information across the entire company
