Sooner or later, every business needs to design their data and API authorization model with granularity over what their user can do. How do you do it in the world of distributed systems without disrupting the codebase or introducing a single point of failure? In this talk we will present our journey of discovery for an efficient distributed solution leveraging OpenPolicy Agent, Go and other technologies, with everything running in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

Do you want to become an infrastructure wizard overnight? Then this talk is for you. With most tools for Infrastructure as Code, we describe our infrastructure in a declarative configuration language. But there is another way: We can use a general-purpose programming language like TypeScript, Java or C#. This talk gives an overview of this alternative approach to IaC and answers some of the most burning questions: Can we finally get rid of tons and tons of YAML and JSON files? What are the pros and cons of coding instead of configuring? What tools can we use, what are their differences? And most importantly, do they help us to build infrastructure like a boss without 30 years of experience? Other talks at this conference 🚀🪐 https://www.conf42.com​/cloud2022 — 0:00 Intro 1:27 Talk

Have you heard the term service mesh but have no idea what that means? Are you architecting, developing, or responsible for running distributed applications? This talk will make you smarter on concepts around service mesh technology. We also will get a little nerdy and explore the awesome platform capabilities you get from an Istio based service mesh running containerized applications and services. Why? As modern applications move toward microservices based architectures the importance of a platform to back both the development and operational work grows. Development teams struggle with building, debugging, and connecting services properly. And application operations teams face increasing challenges with securing hybrid deployments, scaling bottlenecks, recovering from failure, and gathering metrics. This session will feature an introduction to the technology and also give a demo showcasing key capabilities a service mesh platform brings to connect, secure, and observe microservice based applications.

As we took our SaaS platform from Alpha to Beta to GA, we accrued a rapidly expanding set of microservices. Engineers were unhappy with performance they were experiencing in local development, and tests on a single microservice became meaningless without the others. This presentation walks through our experiences in building a scalable system that allowed our team to continue developing on their laptops as our platform grew. These include first implementing Docker Compose, then Kompose to move most of the workload to Kubernetes, and then Kotlin tooling to improve the flexibility of our local/Kubernetes hybrid development environment. This talk will look at the tradeoffs of these different tools and the iterations that led us to where we are today. We will dive into how conference attendees can think about implementing these tools in their own environments to help engineers develop locally.

There's a lot of confusion in the infrastructure operations world regarding emerging concepts such as state drift, ghost assets, and other cloud operations nightmares. In this talk we're going to demystify the differences between all of these concepts that are the byproduct of large-scale, rapid adoption and growth of cloud operations. Cloud operation were widely impacted by the introduction of Infrastructure as Code practices which changed the way we manage our cloud. That said, cloud deployments that predate IaC were often not codified and managed via UI or cloud APIs - which has led to a mishmash in the way cloud resources are managed and maintained today. We will go on to focus on how and when ghost assets happen, why you might have these haunting assets and what to do about them - hopefully without spooking you out too much. We'll wrap up with some real code examples of what ghost assets looks like, when you should be concerned - from the cost to the security implications, as well as how to fix them and prevent any ghosts in your closet in the future.

Vilas Veeraraghavan Director of Engineering @ Walmart Labs Chaos engineering has come a long way from its early days at Netflix. Its importance is no longer questioned in the community but as it has gone mainstream, teams quickly learn that adoption is not a given. In this talk, we talk about the challenges that we encountered at Walmart and the techniques used to break through them. We will discuss our successes and failures on the journey to resilience, highlighting the major barriers to adoption. The talk also will discuss the strategies we used to build tooling to guide teams in addition to a gamified approach to motivate them. — 0:00 Preamble 0:30 Chaos Engineering 0:50 Walmart in numbers 1:46 Where de we start the journey? 3:52 Goal 4:19 Every Outage is a Chaos Exercise 5:11 Downtime is Ecpensive 7:10 The Homework 7:25 Observability 8:53 More On-Call Prerequisites 11:04 Generating production-like Load 12:29 CI/CI Workflow - invest in it 14:34 Build a Maturity Model 15:11 Support Costs 15:51 Build the Right Tools 16:34 Build the Right Mindset 18:02 What we learnt on our Journey? 18:19 Eliminate Vanity Positions 19:35 Don't Assume.
