We are interested in the following topics

• SRE

  • Tools and practices that help SREs free themselves from routine and get systems running smoothly
  • Managing hundreds of hosts and avoiding configuration drift with infrastructure as a code. Configuring host systems, virtual environments, and networking settings using code
  • Making your system easy to reason about with observability and monitoring tools and practices
  • Reaching zero downtime in critical applications. Creating self-healing and antifragile systems
  • Incident management practices to reduce incident frequency and damage
  • Accelerate the delivery of updates and minimize risk with release management practices
  • Machine learning and data engineering to optimize the software development and deployment cycle
  • The principles of secure development (DevSecOps) minimize damage to applications, infrastructure, and people
• Cloud Native

  • Cloud technology, which is gradually becoming the de facto standard for running applications in production
  • Deep dive into technology that drives container orchestration and service meshes: Kubernetes, Istio, Helm, etc.
  • Architecture, concepts and operating principles behind public and private clouds
  • Creating new and migrating existing applications to serverless platforms
  • Best practices, including cost optimization, for cloud application design. N-factor applications, where N ≥ 12
  • CI/CD for cloud-native applications
  • Running stateful applications, including databases, persistent volumes and event-streaming platforms in clouds
  • The strategy of migrating from the cloud back to your hardware in a situation where the cloud is no longer suitable for the project
  • Cloud Native security
  • How to implement all of the above in the new reality
• Culture, processes and methodology

  • What’s really called the word DevOps. Effective processes and communications. People who are happy with their work
  • Dealing with legacy
  • Implementing DevOps practices in large projects and teams
  • Exciting stories of wins and fails, ups and downs in your DevOps experience
  • Embedding security into software development, delivery and operation processes
  • How to implement a secure development process and prevent Supply Chain attacks
  • Zero Trust and problems with it
• The future of DevOps

  • All of the above, but in areas that will be mainstream in 5–10 years
  • Hybrid application scenarios: extending a datacenter to the cloud to achieve greater availability and resource elasticity
  • Bringing code and data closer to customers with edge computing
  • Reaping the benefits of established DevOps tools and practices in young and emerging areas like Internet of Things
