Get ready to spend more on serverless than you expect, and be happy about it.
It seems common sense. Today, you pay for a server with a full stack. Tomorrow, you run just a microservice without that overhead. You will reduce your cost, right? Sorry, Jevon says you are likely to end up spending more, and that you will probably be glad you did! By stepping through IT's history of sprawl and consolidation cycles and weaving 'Jevon's Paradox' into the lessons learnt, this session prepares you for the surprise serverless microservices appearing in your cloud invoices. Learn what to prepare for and which will not work in the microservice ecology.
Having New Eyes - the Power of Observability
We ignore those little flashy lights on the front of the WiFi router – until things fail. Suddenly they are THE critical feature, sitting on the outside showing us how the router is functioning. Observability gives us ‘flashy lights’ for our production applications, answering the questions we did not predict. It is impractical to keep every trace, metric, and log. Instead, let’s look at how AI/ML technology helps us see production code with new eyes. This session will discuss the definition of observability and how to achieve it.

Getting the Skill Mix Right for the 20's
With 69% of enterprises describing the skill drought as being soft skills, rather than technology skills, are you ready to survive against disrupters? Drawing on experiences with large and midsize enterprises, Marco Coulter tabulates the skills needed to survive the coming decade while innovating at scale. What you need now, what you will need next, and a process for transforming your existing team to that new level.

Congrats on your overnight cloud migration - now can you support it?
2020 made automation a must have. Out of necessity, enterprises accelerated into cloud migrations bringing complexity to threaten the stability of both your code and infrastructure. Cloud scale comes from containerization and micro services - but these encourage sprawl and overspending. We know we must monitor - it is a core phase for DevOps and the base of the SRE hierarchy of needs. How extensive should monitoring be? Consider pre and post-migration tracking; user journey mapping from code to business; from user to cloud and compute. This session introduces you to AIOps. You don’t have to spend your life setting breakpoints and looking at logs. AIOps can help automate the mundane tasks out of your life.
