Deep-dive into Open Policy Agent + Conftest + GateKeeper - Shimon Tolts & Noaa Barki

Yalla! DevOps 2021 -- The first, in-person DevOps conference of the year! Driven by the DevOps community. All about the DevOps community. Deep-dive into Open Policy Agent + Conftest + GateKeeper: Kubernetes Policy in action In this session, we will do a deep-dive session into: Open Policy Agent, Conftest, and GateKeeper. We will show real-life use cases of how to use those technologies in production in order to configure and enforce a centralized policy for Kubernetes Shimon and Noaa will present both sides of the dev stack, DevOps and Developers.

When Disaster Strikes: Ensuring Your DRP Actually Works

Black swan events are inherently unpredictable—you can’t prepare for every possible threat. Instead, you must identify the ways systems can fail and develop strategies to restore them to full service when these failures happen. But a disaster recovery plan (DRP) can’t be relied on until it’s been proven to work. The use of Chaos Engineering allows you to test your DRP much more safely and predictably than you could otherwise.

SRE's Guide to Chaos & Observability

Today’s distributed, cloud-based environments are incredibly complex. Not only does each component depend on many others, but modern systems are also highly dynamic—changing frequently as teams push new code or make updates to infrastructure. Taming this complexity to ensure reliability requires end-to-end observability to understand how components depend on each other. Additionally, proactive Chaos Engineering combined with AI-driven observability lets you uncover “unknown unknowns” that impact how your system will respond to different failure scenarios.

Building Reliable Applications Webinar 6 17 21

Test-driven development (TDD) is a process that ensures quality in the applications we develop while guarding against feature creep/skew. But as our applications have become increasingly complex, traditional testing methods are not enough. Traditional testing only evaluates what we know, but complex systems often fail due to unknowns—the things that are almost impossible to test because we are unaware of them. Chaos Engineering is the exception that allows us to test for what we don’t know.

Dissecting DevOps - Measuring quality in a SaaS world: SLA, SLI, SLO

Now that software is delivered over the web and not in a box, how developers guarantee quality to their users has radically changed. Users do not care about version numbers or floppy disks. They just want access to a service that just works. In the microservices world, the quality of your service both to your internal users and external is measured by SLAs, SLIs, and SLOs. And how you decide what those metrics are is a key strategy.

GitLab Client for Linux

Working in a DevOps field, I often find myself needing to deliver a feature or an improvement (basically a piece of code) in a relatively short amount of time, or even working in parallel on different tasks. A rather universal software development stack is comprised of: Repository and branch management in Git has never been easier.
