Asif Mujawar - Specialist Solutions Architect - Database @ AWS In this talk, we will go through several options for high availability and disaster recovery for MSSQL Server, making it one of most popular relational database technologies for enterprises’ mission critical workloads. However, these options are primarily designed for traditional on-premises environments. This session explains those options in the context and Cloud deployments, pros and cons of each, and what other possibilities emerge in a modern Cloud platform, that otherwise would have been unthinkable when on-premise Other talks at this conference 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​/sre2021 — 0:00 Intro 1:16 Talk

Rafal Leszko - Cloud-Native Tech Lead @ Hazelcast Does running your application on multiple machines mean it’s highly available? Technically yes, but the term HA is already more than that. Take Kubernetes installation, if you install it on AWS, it’s not considered HA unless your master nodes are in different availability zones, not only on different machines. And actually, there is much more on that topic. In this session I’ll present 5 high availability levels: * 1. Multi instance * 2. Multi zone * 3. Multi region * 4. Multi cloud * 5. Hybrid cloud I’ll discuss real-life use cases we experienced while developing Hazelcast and present examples of the related technical features you may need: in-memory partition backups, zone aware partition groups, WAN replication. In this session you’ll learn: * Why Kubernetes can be deployed in multiple zones but never in multiple regions? * What options you have while designing for high availability (for both Cloud and On-premise infrastructures)? * What are the trade-offs when choosing between high availability and strict consistency? * What are the best practices for deploying consistent systems in Hybrid Cloud?

Joshua Arvin Lat - CTO @ NuWorks Interactive Labs Managing infrastructure resources in the cloud becomes more challenging once we start to deal with significantly more resources and complex integration requirements. In this session, we will discuss the different solutions when dealing with production SRE requirements for Kubernetes in the cloud.

JJ Asghar - Developer Advocate @ IBM So your company has finally decided to move to the Cloud Native ecosystem. You’ve landed on containerization as your first step. You heard that all you needed to do was containerize your first app and then push it to Kubernetes/OpenShift/Nomad, and the cost savings just come. You’ve done this, and well, things have gone not as planned. Some of the tech didn’t do what you expected, and wait, what do you mean our OpEx has gone up? Simply said: the promise of containerization or migrating to the Cloud Native ecosystem can be a lie if you don’t do your homework. Sadly most companies don’t. In this talk, I’ll explain a few gotchas that a “few” enterprises, in the guise of AsgharLabs, hit moving towards the Cloud Native world, and hopefully, you’ll learn from their mistakes, so you’re trip down this path will be more comfortable and closer to the promise. Outline Introductions - What is AsgharLabs and where they started, what they thought they needed to do - Where I came into the conversation to help AsgharLabs - Questions you should ask after getting your app containerized - Where are the architectural advantages and disadvantages? - Are we doubling up on things? - Isn’t automation good here? Why is this thing so complicated now? - Questions you should ask about the cultural shift that will happen - How the economics of the Cloud can differ from your Datacenter - What do you mean our support is now Stack Overflow? - What do you mean our goal is to move away from the CCB? - Some tangible things you can start with to help become more successful - Build that pipeline extension - Collaborate with other teams - Visibility and Monitoring - Conclusion and where you can go from here Other talks at this conference 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​/sre2021 — 0:00 Intro 1:16 Talk

Daniel Selans - Co-Founder @ Batch You’ve heard of event-driven architectures but what do they actually look like? Learn what is involved in building and operating an event-driven distributed system and why your next high-scale project should make use of this exciting tech.

Noaa Barki - Full-stack Developer Shimon Tolts - CEO @ Datree A smart person learns from their own mistakes, but a truly wise person learns from the mistakes of others. When launching our product, we wanted to learn as much as possible about typical pains in our ecosystem, and did so by reviewing many post-mortems (100+!) to discover the recurring patterns, anti-patterns, and root causes of typical outages in Kubernetes-based systems. In this talk we have aggregated for you the insights we gathered, and in particular will review the most obvious DON’Ts and some less obvious ones, that may help you prevent your next production outage by learning from others’ real world (horror) stories.

Robert Barron - AIOps, ChatOps & SRE @ IBM The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth for over 20 years. It was not launched fully formed, as a monolith in space. Instead, it is built out of dozens of individual modules, each with a dedicated role - life support, engineering, science, commercial applications and more. Each module (or container) functions as a microservice, adding additional capabilities to the whole. Not only do the modules need to function together, delivering both functional and non-functional capabilities, they were designed, developed and built by different countries on Earth and once launched into space (deployed in multiple different ways), had to work together - perfectly. Despite the many (minor) reliability issues which have occurred over the decades, the ISS remains a highly reliable platform for cutting edge scientific and engineering research. In this session I will describe the way the space station was developed and the lessons Site Reliability and DevOps Engineers can learn from it.

Ricardo Castro - Senior SRE @ FARFETCH GitOps is a paradigm or a set of practices that empowers developers to perform tasks which typically (only) fall under the purview of operations. It’s a way to do Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery by using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. Being Git at the center of delivery pipelines, engineers use familiar tools to make pull requests to accelerate and simplify both application deployments and operations tasks to Kubernetes. GitOps software agents (e.g. ArgoCD, Flux and Jenkins X) can alert on any divergence between Git with what’s running in a cluster, and if there’s a difference, Kubernetes reconcilers automatically update or rollback the cluster depending on the case. This talk will include a demo of ArgoCD/Flux/Jenkins X on how to configure and use it to accelerate and simplify application deployments.
