10:00, #ARCHITECTURE

Modern architectural work: from defining to enabling

by Michael Plöd
Fellow @ INNOQ

Many large organizations still work with centralized architecture-related teams. Their role is often to provide architectural specifications to other teams and ensure that these specifications are adhered to during implementation. These teams are often referred to as ivory tower architecture teams that aim to bundle highly skilled architects. This role is certainly not available in abundance on the market.
However, they do not fit into an agile environment where we want to give teams the opportunity to make their own decisions. Certain guard rails are nevertheless necessary to ensure that the overall construct works. In addition, well-chosen guard rails can also drastically reduce the need for coordination between teams.
We need to enable these teams to do most of the architectural work themselves, while ensuring that the individual parts fit together. This is where Team Topologies, a concept introduced by Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais, comes into play. There is a team type called the Enabling Team which, in a nutshell, supports other teams with knowledge and methodology.
This presentation will give you an overview of this change as well as practical guidance on how to transform a centralized architecture team into an enabling team whose task is to improve the architecture work in other teams. You will learn:
- Which stakeholders you should involve in this process
- Why the future enabling team also needs to be empowered and how to do this
- Where common pitfalls lie on this journey
- Why this journey needs to be done in an agile way with continuous learning and retrospectives
This talk will also include many real-life examples that accompany such a transformation.

10:30, #GENERATIVEAI

A conversation about your code to build features in a fraction of the time

by Danilo Poccia
Chief Evangelist (EMEA) @ Amazon Web Services

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate all phases of your software development lifecycle (SDLC) and streamline tasks such as research, design, coding, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting. This approach can extend to modernization, including upgrades to the latest language version. Through practical demos, this session will show how to incorporate cutting-edge technologies into your daily workflow, unlocking new levels of productivity and efficiency.

12:15, #MONITORING

Unlocking Cloud Application Insights with Grafana's API Monitoring

by Usman Ahmad
Senior Developer Advocate @ Grafana Labs

Grafana is a popular open-source monitoring tool, but often, new users are unable to utilize its full potential to efficiently monitor or visualize data.
In this talk, we will demonstrate an example of how to monitor your application running in the cloud using the Grafana API integration plugin. Later, we see more advanced features to get the key metrics to better observability.

It will be an introduction to the Dashboards, and also an excellent opportunity to learn more about the advanced features, including troubleshooting & debugging.
Join us to learn more about Grafana dashboards, community contributions and share your feedback and suggestions!

12:45, #SCALABILITY

The scale of Identity

by Norberto Leite
Principal Engineer @ Okta

How much effort is required to correctly and safely identify all the visitors of your website/app/service? What does it take when all of the sudden your application shows on the first page of hacker news, or even when your superbowl ad asks folks to go sign up for your shiny new service/feature. Can you handle it? How should you deal with the influx of traffic? What can possibly go wrong?

In this talk we are going to look into what an identity management service such as Auth0 needs to be like in order to support billions of logins per month, tens of thousands of multi-factor authentication requests per day, and hundreds of thousands of request token validations per hour.
We will look into the operations side of the house, what sort of problems one can expect when running this sort of service at scale, the implications of small glitches and how we mitigate the blast radius of outages and incidents. How do we observe, intervene and try to predict at scale, how operations and capacity issues may affect our customers and their customers.

In particular, we will talk about how we handle service releases and infrastructure operations that allow us to mitigate and prevent outages. We will also look into detail how databases, those critical daemons for any infrastructure, can cause issues and why they are particularly challenging to manage, with practical examples of things that we make sure we have in place and lessons learned from operating a large scalable infrastructure as we currently have.

14:00, #CLOUDOPS

CloudOps Topic: 5 AWS Outages; what can we learn?

by Dylan Ratcliffe
Founder & CEO @ Overmind

In this talk I will explain the impact and cause of 5 outages that affected large companies like Skyscanner, Klarna and Reddit. We will look into what these have in common, and what is different to see what we can learn. We’ll also use research from David Woods to work out what we can predict, and what we can’t, about what out next outage might look like.

16:00, #KUBERNETES

A Tale of Tail Latency: Understanding Kubernetes CPU Requests and Limits For Sustainability and Profit

by Ara Pulido
Staff Developer Advocate @ Datadog

When deploying an application to Kubernetes, each container in a pod should define CPU requests and limits. It is commonly understood how CPU requests affect the scheduling of your pod and the future pods in the same node.
But outside scheduling, the way CPU requests and limits affect your running application is more confusing and less commonly known, yet it can heavily impact its performance and its energy footprint.
In this talk we will help clarify some misconceptions about CPU requests and limits including how requests are used beyond scheduling, We will offer some quick tips on how to understand those effects, minimize them, and select good values to reduce your application energy footprint while ensuring its performance.

16:30, #COPILOT

How Generative AI of Copilot can help SecOps analysts

by Marco Obinu
Azure Technical Trainer @ Microsoft

SecOps analysts are responsible for detecting, investigating, and responding to security incidents and threats in complex and dynamic environments. Every day, they faces challenges, such as managing large volumes of data, prioritizing alerts, automating workflows, collaborating with other teams, and staying up to date with the latest threats and best practices.
The Unified Security Operations Platform provided by Microsoft simplify their lives by providing a single pane of glass they can use to have a clear understanding of what’s happening, and get automated response to certain incidents. Copilot for Security is a huge improvement on top of that, since it allows them to interact with the different components by using native language.

Join me to explore how these tools works, and how GenAI can help SecOps teams overcome these challenges and improve their efficiency and effectiveness.
