 GitLab.com’s monolithic Rails application experiences high week-on-week traffic growth. To ensure availability, GitLab’s Infrastructure team track and plan ahead in order to avoid hitting capacity limits in the application, whether these limits be CPU, database connection pools, memory, storage or any number of other finite resources. Hitting these limits could result in hours, or days, of degraded service while workarounds are put in place.

 Everyone keeps telling you that containers need orchestration, but you're not so sure; maybe they could go for some light jazz? Or maybe serverless is here to save us from the tyranny of (virtual) machines, but meanwhile somebody's gotta kuber some netes, and it's likely to be you. Let's take a walk through the cloud native landscape and talk about what's new, what's next, and what you need to get started with Kubernetes right now (before sentient machines have a chance to destroy us all).

 We made the decision in late 2015 to move all our applications to containerised environments managed by Kubernetes. It took roughly 3 years to complete that migration. During that journey we’ve learnt a lot about containerisation, distributed systems, complicated migrations and automation of systems managing over 70 developers. We think our migration has been a success and we’re keen to share a little a bit about what we know.

++++
+
+DevOps literature expounds on the fact that “DevOps is a Culture”. The C.A.L.M.S. acronym (Culture, Automation, Lean, Metrics, Sharing) reminds us that the organizational attributes that contribute to successful DevOps are fundamental and shared across teams. The message is clear: DevOps is not the job of one person or a group of people, and it can’t succeed unless the whole org is involved and on-board. There are no DevOps Engineers! Everyone is a DevOps Engineer!
+
+And yet. Who builds and maintains the lightning-fast, highly available deployment pipeline? Who performs the upgrades of the CI server? Who gets paged when the disk space on the binary repo fills up? If this is left to communal ownership, eventually internal tools become a Howl’s-moving-castle of poorly optimized, unstable and insecure utilities held together with duct tape and baling wire. These business-critical assets deserve better. Subject matter expertise in CI/CD best practice and current technologies is necessary for making informed and intelligent design decisions about these tools. Changes and improvements to these tools need to be based on a guiding vision that is aligned with the organization’s mission. They need a product owner. They need dedicated developers whose job it is to “make it go”. So, we hire DevOps Engineers.
+
+As Manager of Dev Enablement, I struggle with this duality daily. How can I most effectively generate urgency outside my team around organizational change a la DevOps, while simultaneously providing strong vision and product guidance to my team that works on CI/CD and other internal tooling? Given that my team is tiny, where can we put our lever and fulcrum to most effectively uplift the entire org? I will share my thoughts, experiences and learnings on this topic.

+But it’s not all doom and gloom! In both worlds, success comes as a result of hard work, dedication, and above all _teamwork_. What the public ends up seeing—the great and fantastic outcomes that are heralded as examples of the art—are only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This is a personal and light-hearted talk about some fairly serious topics. Through the bringing together of two seemingly unrelated areas of interest, my goal is to get people to think critically about their work environments, their career goals, and above all, their responsibilities—both to others, and to themselves. It’s a mix of story-telling, practical examples, and the occasional mildly embarrassing anecdote.
+
+So join me as we chat about humility, empathy, trust, self-care and the value of a good project manager. And a little bit about punching things, too.

-Sharing broad concepts in tech is hard. Like playing a game of telephone, the message can transform into something different. Why does this happen? How can we improve at sharing concepts like devops? This talk will draw on educational theory, linguistics and how we work to answer these questions.
-
 In tech, the understanding of concepts such as devops, agile and continuous integration can vary widely between individuals. This happens even when the concept has a public definition put out into the world. We hear these words and concepts at conferences and on podcasts; we read them in blogs and books; we teach them to our colleagues. We do all of this and inevitably we find out that those same people think of these concepts in different ways than we do. Every time, this surprises us. We argue about definitions and meanings and implementations before we start worrying about how we can better communicate these ideas.
 
 Understanding how and why we end up with different notions of these concepts is important if our goal is to share these kinds of concepts with other people. While we could say that someone who does not believe that devops has anything to do with culture has missed the point, it is more impactful to ask why they think that and how we can share devops in a way that gets all aspects of devops across to people.
 
 This talk will explore this notion through a couple of unique angles, pulling on ideas from linguistics and educational theory, with the goal of giving a better idea of how sharing these concepts often goes awry and more importantly giving the audience other mechanisms and ideas for how to share the ideas that they learn at this conference with their colleagues.
-
-The talk will be split into three major segments:
-1. Linguistics
-This section will investigate topics about how language is used, but will focus more on a few processes of language change. Language is a social thing that grows and changes with us. Understanding the social aspects of language is important to understanding how a word can come to have multiple lexical meanings and the impact those meanings. Knowing how to talk about a topic in a way that is meaningful to others is important if your goal is to share that topic.
-2. Teaching and Learning
-This section will take a look at pedagogy and methods of knowledge acquisition. It will introduce the audience to pedagogical concepts such as dialogic learning, understanding power structures in teaching environments and creating learning communities. We’ll look at how humans acquire and synthesize information to get a better understanding of how we can approach sharing something like devops.
-3. Takeaways
-This section will show several ways that we can apply the theory talked about in prior sections in ways to better share concepts like devops.

+As the DevOps movement continues to see momentum, many organizations still don’t  know where to start.  A common misconception is tooling will make you “DevOps”, while tools can give you software that will allow you to automate or continuously deliver or monitor, alone  they won't get you to necessary processes to take advantage of the benefits DevOps has to offer. In this talk attendees will learn why it’s the people that matter most and how to leverage DevOps best practices along with processes to make the most out of your DevOps journey.
+
+Being a champion in the DevOps world means going beyond the win and by delving deeper into the team/organizational structure and culture, thereby identifying outlying issues beyond tools, and then working with others to embrace necessary change that lead to defined results. This talk will lay the groundwork for individuals and/or teams who are looking to transform and adopt DevOps.

+Believe it or not, there's a lot military training can teach us about DevOps. 
+
+In IT we spend too much time on local optimizations which are ultimately hurting our overall "mission". We waste cycles on minor issues instead of identifying our greatest risks and focusing there. And much more.
+
+The military is the ultimate in command and control, making sure your every second is accounted for and every step planned. This is pretty much the opposite of a DevOps culture where sharing and accepting failure are norms… right?
+
+Not so fast…
+
+When I got to boot camp 30 years they made us sit cross legged on bare concrete for “classroom” sessions. Try it for more than 10 minutes some time. It hurts. It made no sense. Of course you get used to it after a few weeks.
+
+Around the sixth week they started teaching us shooting positions. Turns out one of the most stable is sitting cross legged. Stability is important at 300 yards. Something that hurt a couple months earlier was now second nature. We had the foundation required to learn the next steps (literally).
+
+Ready to shoot, right? Yeah, not so much. Now we got to spend a week sitting on grass and pretending to shoot before we ever saw a round of ammunition. Staging deployment anyone?
+
+In much the same way, solid technical principles enable a DevOps culture.
+
+If we make good automation, good test practices, good code quality, useful measurement and helpful feedback loops second nature, we’re free to let our teams solve the hard problems with reduced risk. Command and control can be at the organizational level where it needs to be, with the people best suited to it (our development teams) providing the value required to support that mission.
