The Hard Truth About GitOps and Database Rollbacks - Rotem Tamir, Ariga

Wednesday November 13, 2024 12:10pm - 12:45pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

For two decades now, the common practice for handling rollbacks of database schema migrations has been pre-planned "down migration scripts". A closer examination of this widely accepted truth reveals critical gaps that result in teams relying on risky, manual operations to roll back schema migrations in times of crisis. In this talk, we show why our existing tools and practices cannot deliver on the GitOps promise of "declarative" and "continuously reconciled" workflows and how we can use the Operator Pattern to build a new solution for robust and safe schema rollbacks.

Rotem Tamir (39), father of two. Co-founder and CTO of Ariga, co-maintainer of Atlas and Ent. Ex-data platform architect at Nexar, infrastructure team lead at ironSource.

Secure by Design CI/CD: Practical Insights from Adobe and Autodesk - Vikram Sethi, Adobe Inc. & Jesse Sanford, Autodesk

Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Worried that your CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows are insecure? Lost in security buzzwords like SBOMs, provenance, attestation, SLSA, OpenSSF, and more? Seeking a clear, actionable reference architecture to secure your pipeline? Whether you are just getting started on your Software Supply Chain Security journey, or are ready to take it to the next level navigating this diverse ecosystem is challenging. Join Vikram and Jesse as they present a reference architecture for secure-by-default CI/CD pipelines and show you effective security controls at every step. See firsthand how these industry giants safeguarded their pipelines while maintaining agility and innovation. This talk will showcase their work, and the work of the CNOE (Cloud Native Operational Excellence) group, which aims to build a paved path through this problem space by producing opinionated software collections or “CNOE stacks” that can be adapted to meet you where your technology is.

Scale Job Triggering with a Distributed Scheduler - Cassie Coyle & Artur Souza, Diagrid

Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Imagine scheduling thousands or millions of jobs that are persisted and triggered timely and resilient to downtime. Some jobs might be triggered every second while others need to reliably be triggered on the first day of the month. Achieving high throughput and reliability is critical for the performance and operational efficiency of modern distributed systems. How can traditional cron job scheduling be extended? How can distributed systems handle job scheduling with minimal downtime? What challenges arise when scaling job scheduling to thousands or millions of jobs? In this session, Artur and Cassie will delve into the design of Dapr’s distributed Scheduler and how users can start using it today. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how Dapr’s Scheduler unblocks scalability of actors and workflows while also enabling new capabilities, like delayed pubsub and schedule job API.

Perform Laser Focused Deployments by Deciding in Advance the Blast Radius - Kostis Kapelonis, Octopus deploy

Wednesday November 13, 2024 4:30pm - 5:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Progressive Delivery is an advanced deployment method that allows for zero-downtime application releases. Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller that allows you to adopt progressive delivery in the form of blue/green and canary deployments. We see a lot of teams that choose an arbitrary number of clients that access the new version of a canary. Yes, it is very easy to send only 10% of the traffic to the new version of a Kubernetes deployment. But sometimes you want to choose WHICH 10% sees the new traffic. In this talk we will see several approaches on pinning down specific clients to the old or new version and advanced scenarios for sending canary traffic only to a specific subset of users such as internal employees or customers who have expressed their interest on seeing brand new releases as soon as possible.

Speakers

Kostis Kapelonis

Developer Advocate, Codefresh by Octopus Deploy

Taming Your Application’s Environments - Marcos Lilljedahl, Dagger & Mauricio "Salaboy" Salatino, Diagrid

Wednesday November 13, 2024 5:25pm - 6:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

How coupled are your applications code and pipelines to its target cloud or on-prem environment? Kubernetes helps us to abstract how we run our workloads. However, there are other aspects, like infrastructure dependencies, service configuration, build process, deployment descriptors, etc., which need to be considered to make an application portable across multiple environments. Focusing on these aspects make a big difference when migrating apps to reduce costs, meeting compliance requirements or leveraging a specific tech only available somewhere else. Join us to cover three techniques you can implement to level up your SDLC: - Modularizing and enhancing our delivery pipelines to simplify complex environments (Crossplane and Dagger) - Building consistent experiences around well-known interfaces (CloudEvents, Dapr, and OpenFeature) to minimize runtime drift. - Design with separation of concerns to enable fast feedback loops between development and operation teams (Argo CD, Knative)
