Presentations

In the realm of DevOps, two pivotal talks converge to provide a comprehensive understanding of essential practices. Join us for a dual presentation featuring “Open Source - Open Choice: A DevOps Guide for OSS Adoption” and “Terraform Practices to Enable Infrastructure Scaling.”

The first part, “Open Source - Open Choice,” focuses on the art of making informed decisions when it comes to open-source projects. Selecting the right open-source tool is a crucial step that can significantly impact your dev/prod environments. This discussion offers a DevOps perspective on open-source adoption, providing practical advice for making the right choices for your development and production environments. Gain insights into the business mindset necessary to evaluate key indicators based on your unique needs and pain points.

The second part, “Terraform Practices to Enable Infrastructure Scaling,” delves into the world of Terraform, a critical tool for DevOps/Cloud/Infra engineers. This discussion covers key practices that empower you to scale your infrastructure efficiently. Discover best practices, potential pitfalls to avoid, and strategies for optimizing Terraform usage. Whether you're working with an existing codebase or embarking on a new project, you'll acquire valuable insights to ensure Terraform supports your infrastructure scaling efforts.

“DevOps Insights: Navigating Open Source and Terraform Efficiency & Scaling” combines two vital dimensions for DevOps professionals. While each part maintains its distinct focus, together, they provide you with a comprehensive approach to excelling in the realm of DevOps and infrastructure management, from making informed open-source selections to mastering Terraform for efficient and scalable operations.

Embark on a practical journey with us as we dive deep into two indispensable facets of the tech world: Technical Documentation and Project Management. In today's fast-evolving tech landscape, mastering these skills is the key to success.

First, we'll demystify the art of Technical Documentation. You'll learn actionable strategies for creating concise and impactful documentation, regardless of your background. We'll show you how this documentation can significantly enhance onboarding processes, streamline code maintenance, and facilitate seamless system handovers. Discover concrete benefits for you, your team, and your organization.

Then, we'll roll up our sleeves and share real-world insights from a solo SCM migration project. This case study will provide practical takeaways for managing technical projects effectively. From meticulous planning to hands-on implementation and successful cross-team collaboration, you'll gain actionable tips to ensure your technical projects run smoothly and meet deadlines.

Join us for an immersive session that bridges the gap between theory and practice, equipping you with the tools and know-how to excel in the world of technical documentation and project management.

In the dynamic world of technology, resilience is a critical skill that encompasses both managing incidents and navigating your career guided by your core values. Join us for an engaging session that explores these two essential dimensions, offering valuable insights into building resilience in the tech industry.

The first part of this presentation, “Mastering Incident Resilience,” dives into the proactive strategies that can revolutionize your incident management approach. Just as active listening in school prepares you for tests, being proactive at work can significantly enhance how you handle unexpected challenges. Discover practical techniques to streamline incident management, reduce data loss, minimize downtimes, and ensure peaceful nights. We'll unveil best practices for navigating production incidents with speed and efficiency, enabling you to confidently manage critical incidents.

In the second segment, we explore “Values as Your Guiding Light.” In the ever-evolving tech landscape, it's easy to feel adrift when making career decisions. Your core values can be the compass that guides you to make choices that align with your principles. Learn how to incorporate values-driven decisions into your daily life, ensuring that you make career choices that resonate with who you are. We introduce the “Value-Driven Professional Life” method, equipping you with practical tools to assess values during job searches and daily work experiences, empowering you to own your career path.

“Resilience in Tech: Managing Incidents and Navigating Your Career with Values” offers a comprehensive exploration of incident management and values alignment. While these dimensions are discussed separately, they provide you with a holistic approach to thrive and succeed in the ever-changing tech industry, building your resilience and ensuring you are well-prepared for both the challenges of incidents and the career decisions you face.
