The talk focuses on developing and integrating automation tools to enhance Supply Chain security. It addresses reproducible security practices with tools like Renovate and Wiz, as well as GitLab and JFrog Artifactory, to enforce consistent security scans seamlessly within existing workflows.

How to properly plan global changes in a company with over 25,000 clients. Why communication between technical teams and the business is the key to success. SRE, R&D, and Architecture as drivers of transformation. The role of FinOps in sustainable development. Real-life cases, mistakes, and lessons learned.

At the conference, I will present an approach to extending the capabilities of Kubernetes, transforming it into a fully-fledged private Cloud with support for virtualization, isolated networks, and multi-organization authentication.

There are many opinions regarding the deployment of databases in Kubernetes. However, the strong views of random individuals may not assist you in making the right decision for your specific situation. In this talk, you will receive a comprehensive list of problems and questions to address before moving your production database into Kubernetes. With that list, you will gain a better understanding of the associated risks, prepare for potential failures, and make an informed decision.

There are many obstacles and pitfalls on the path towards operational zen. Many routes could lead to dead ends, and many detours could end up being loops. In this semi-comedy talk, I share some examples of how processes fail for engineering teams that I observed through my career, using two pillars of the Internet culture - memes and numbered lists.

Kubernetes Controllers and Operators are a trending topic in conferences, interviews, and production today. I will share the story of the evolution of our Promotion (Release) system, from simple Kubernetes API REST calls to Informers and Controllers, based on my own experience. This story is particularly interesting because it serves as a great case for personal growth for you as well as for your DevOps/SRE team. It touches on Kubernetes architecture details, Networking, GitOps, IaC, Caching, development patterns, and Golang data structures. Even if you have no development experience (as is the case for most of our team), I will share how a Cursor AI assistant became yet another — though virtual — engineer on our team. Bonus: 10 years of Kubernetes & trends KubeCon24 North America.
