LOOKING BACK AT 10 YEARS OF DEVOPS

10 years ago we had the idea to organise a conference in Gent to bridge the gap between developers and the people runing their code. It was the start of a new global movement. We never predicted that #devops would be where #devops is today. The word devops has evolved, the community has evolved. Over the years the word devops lost it’s meaning at least it’s original meaning. The real challenge for the next decade will be to see how we can revive those original values and ideas, if at all… Can we fix Devops? This talk will give you some Ideas about that.

HOW CONVENIENCE IS KILLING OPEN STANDARDS

All the technical freedom and diversity we enjoy in our industry is the result of internal, grass root evangelism. Over the last couple of decades, thought leaders have strongly opposed manufacturer-centric strategies and argued the case of Open Source and Open Standards. This ultimately led to the success of Linux and Open Source we have today.But now, two decades later, the IT industry is in upheaval again: All three major cloud providers have been pushing their serverless solutions in order to lure customers into a new form of vendor lock-in. And they succeeded: The number of serverless deployments has already surpassed those of container based ones.“So this is how liberty dies … with thunderous applause”

I think there is no time to waste, to remind our-

-selves about Open Standards, their value to

our industry, and why it is worth to fight for them to survive. Open Standards go beyond the boundaries of development and operation. They are the foundation of a barrier free interoperability and independent communications. The lecture aims to inspire the connection between both worlds and paradigms for a modern and flexible application infrastructure.

BRING YOUR ALERTS

We’re running multiple Kubernetes cluster, every with its own Prometheus instance. When more and more teams and services joined these clusters, it became cumbersome to manage Prometheus alert configuration for their services manually. So we’re using a sidecar container that watches ConfigMap changes across the cluster and dynamically add, modify or remove alerts in the Prometheus instance. In this talk it will be shown how to configure a Prometheus Helm release and how a ConfigMap has to look like to achieve the product team alert self-service.

You probably already tried. So did many of your peers, I curated a handy list of things you could do to convince management to get Kubernetes for your next project. Or better yet move the entire stack to Kubernetes.
