+
+Containers have been the future for five years now, featured on the stage of every major distributed systems conference in the world. But beyond the hype and the swag is a real technical solution, with real technical challenges, used for real problems at scale. And for the companies and engineers looking to adopt this solution, there’s little content on what awaits them.
+
+In this talk, we’ll discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of running containers, in production, at scale. We’ll address why to use containers, why not to, and the tradeoffs required at both the technical and human levels for implementing them. You will walk away with a better understanding of how containers could fit into your own architecture and what you’ll need to do to make that rollout a reality. Containers can be a great infrastructure solution, but no one should drive them without a manual.

+
+So you’ve had an incident. Restoring service is just the first step; your team should also be prepared to learn from incidents and outages. In this workshop, you will learn some best practices around postmortems/incident reviews to help your team and organization see incidents as a learning opportunity and not just a disruption in service.
+
+In this workshop, attendees will:
+
+* Get an overview of blameless postmortems
+* Learn techniques for effective information sharing
+* Learn how to run a postmortem meeting effectively
+* Understand the difference between “blame” and “accountability”
+* Step through a real-world postmortem that occurred at a major SaaS organization
+
+*Prerequisites:*
+
+Come ready to interact! No computer needed.

+
+Ana Medina and Rich Burroughs lead a hands-on tutorial on chaos engineering, covering the tools and practices you need to implement chaos engineering in your organization. Even if you’re already using chaos engineering, you’ll learn to identify new ways to use chaos engineering within your engineering organization and discover how other companies are using chaos engineering—and the positive results they have had using chaos to create reliable distributed systems.

++++
+
+When we deploy to the cloud, most of us aren't dealing with just a single cloud provider or even deployment tool. It seems like even the simplest of deployments today needs a load balancer, SSL certificates, persistent file storage, DNS... and somewhere in there is your application.
+
+That is a lot to figure out! The Cloud Native Application Bundles specification was created to help address that problem, helping you manage everything in a single package and focus on what you know best: your application. [Porter](https://porter.sh) is a tool that delivers an easy to use, declarative approach to packaging your application using existing technologies. Porter helps you build bundles without needing to be a CNAB expert.
+
+In this workshop, learn how Porter makes it easier to manage cloud native applications in the messy imperfect hybrid cloud world that we live in. We will use Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes to build a bundle and deploy a bundle with Porter.
+
+*Prerequisites:*
+
+Attendees should bring a laptop with Docker installed. We'll provide Github repos for the workshop material.
+
+*Takeaways:*
+
+The audience will come away with familiarity of the core aspects of the CNAB specification, when CNAB should be used and how to use Porter to author bundles for their own applications. They'll also become aware of other tooling in the CNAB eco-system.

+
+* Learn how to create rules for an application. We'll take a containerized application and create Falco rules to detect abnormal behavior in the application. We'll profile an application's system calls, then use the profile to create application specific rules.
+
+* Learn how to alert on Kubernetes audit events like deployment creation, kubectl exec, privileged container creation, and other interactions with the Kubernetes API.
+
+* Learn how to leverage Serverless frameworks to react to security incidents. Delete offending pods, prevent nodes from being scheduled, and alert to Slack.
+

+How can we make our tools work with our team? Like a good team member, great tools keep us informed, implement our decisions, and help us understand errors. Drawing from aviation, medicine, and software, here are strategies for choosing and building tools that enhance us and do not frustrate us.
+
+Great automation doesn’t replace humans; it enhances us. When we are choosing or building tools for our team, we want them to play like team members: keep us informed, make the easy decisions repeatably, and pass the hard decisions to the humans along with the information we need to make them.
+
+Based on research in human-centered design, this talk enumerates principles and challenges of collaboration for programs. It lists strategies for eliminating “human error” as well as human frustration. Our tools should make us smarter, not hide knowledge from us. In aviation and medicine, this is a million-dollar investment–-but when we construct our own tools, collaborative automation is within our reach.

+
+Microservice architectures provide immense benefits to the flexibility and speed of development, but they also introduce significant complexity in the way the distributed components interact with each other. Eventually, all distributed systems will encounter an error or failure. Sometimes these errors can express themselves outside of the isolation of single component and cause a series of cascading failures in interconnected system. This is the story of one such failure, the lessons learned, and how it's influenced our architecture and design decisions moving forward.

+
+A deployment pipeline often consists of a Jenkins pipeline and a few commands to deploy a service. The problem with this is that most pipelines lack the intelligence necessary to make decisions based upon real-time data being generated. While not quite as bleeding edge as AI driven pipelines, it is a step in that direction where the pipeline knows how to make decisions using disparate data from the environment. The goal of the presentation is to provide an end to end example of how a deployment pipeline can become more intelligent by harnessing data that is already being captured in existing systems within the environment.

+What if the code you’ve written alienated some of its users? Or what if it caused a group of people real-life harm? If you're a responsible engineer, these should be among your biggest concerns.
+
+Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has introduced a new paradigm wherein code can do actual harm outside of its contained environment. While some of the effects may be comical (think: bad art made by AI), others can be deeply unfair to large groups of your users.
+
+Come with Nivia, an engineering manager at Spotify, on a journey to explore the world of machine learning. We'll explore how algorithms are created, trained, and implemented, and more importantly, discuss practical steps to mitigate and eliminate such biases.

+
+Logs: they’re not interesting beyond debugging and service monitoring, until you’ve been breached and then everyone wants them. As your security people sift through the logs you find out that the logs aren’t standardized, and the logs on your compromised server have been erased.
+
+Now imagine a different scenario where all the logs are normalized, as most SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management) tools cannot parse custom application logs super well. And for incident response, it's key to get as much security data as possible off a compromised endpoint and into a central repository. All it takes is a schema, kafka, and several very busy people. The key takeaways are why you need to normalize your logs, why you need to stream logs, and how to run a large platform with a small team.

+
+Balancing business requirements with security initiatives is tough. Not only are you concerned with scale, latency, resiliency, availability AND delivery of new features, but you also have to pore through mostly generic, sometimes contradictory guidance and 'hair on fire' exclamations from security claiming that the end is nigh because there's an instance of cross site scripting on a help page. Is cross site scripting really that bad in this case?
+
+It's been said that 'perfect is the enemy of good' and nowhere is that more true than in devops. But how do you know when you've reached good when it comes to securing your product, service or API? The answer, actually, has very little to do with technology and everything to do with how well you know your end users and your ability to quantify how security tradeoffs will enhance or degrade the trust your users place in your company. In this talk, I will highlight the major security obligations of any application and provide some techniques to help you evaluate whether your security is 'good enough'.
