𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Measuring and increasing resiliency through Chaos Engineering 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Building and operating resilient applications requires deep understanding of your system in its normal and in failure states. Chaos engineering is an approach to build confidence in system resilience by deliberately injecting faults or stress to identify and fix problems before they wake you up at 3am. You will learn the core concepts of chaos engineering and what you need to implement them: gaining understanding of normal operations, building hypotheses how your system handles faults and injecting failures trying to disprove the hypothesis. We will dive into how you can observe steady state, design experiments to uncover weaknesses, follow-up on experiments & how to design resilient architectures. The talk provides a hands-on introduction to chaos engineering through actionable techniques you can start applying in your organization.

Marcel Hild has 25+ years of experience in open-source development and the IT industry. He co-founded a Linux consulting company, worked as a Solution Architect for Red Hat, and was a core Developer for ManageIQ, a Hybrid Cloud Management tool. In addition, he researched AIOps and Open Services in the Office of CTO at Red Hat and built a community of SRE practitioners around operate-first.cloud. Now he practices the fine art of managed-OpenShift-Black-Belt-Do with customers and partners to leverage a managed platform to put his previous research topics into real life. 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Managing Kubernetes clusters at scale - behind the scenes of managed OpenShift 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: In this session, Marcel Hild will navigate the attendees through the complex landscape of managed cloud services, focusing specifically on managed Kubernetes clusters. Although they are fundamentally rooted in open-source, the internal machinations and operational environments of these services often remain shrouded. Using only publicly accessible information, we will demystify the methods and tools that underpin the management of sprawling OpenShift clusters. The discussion initiates with a detailed overview of architectural principles, progressively venturing into the nuanced terrain of cloud-native tooling. After this session, you will understand the depth of open-source integration within managed services and the pivotal role it plays in fostering an environment for contribution and reusability. Attendees will depart with a comprehensive understanding of the architecture and operational mechanisms that form the backbone of large-scale OpenShift cluster management. Furthermore, they will gain valuable insights into the cloud-native tools landscape, comprehending how it profoundly influences the operation of managed services. Join this session to learn more about open source in managed services and how much it enables reuse and contribution.

Adrien is a Field security specialist at GitHub and a developer first with a specialty in application security. He is helping users make the best out of the security feature of GitHub and adopt the best practices. He is also co organizer of the Nantes Java User Group. 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: Copilot: level up the security of your code 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: As a full stack developer, you should know a frontend language, a backend language, CSS, Infrastructure-as-Code, Docker, Accessibility, and security. Sadly, security is often left behind. Let's change that with our AI pair programming assistant: Copilot. The AI promise is to make us more productive. Let's see if it helps us write secure code and fix our existing vulnerabilities. After a presentation of Copilot, you will see live coding demos of different use cases and see how Copilot guides us to : - Learn about security - Detect unsecure code - Fix vulnerabilities
