Monitoring as Code: Managing thousands of dashboards and alerts in a cloud native world

In this hands-on session we'll present how Amadeus went to create a painless, yet complete approach to get code-defined dashboards and alerts, based on Prometheus and Grafana.

To achieve this, we built a comprehensive tool chain and applied industry standard practices applied to our monitoring assets (jsonnet source code, unit and integration testing, dashboard linting, CI/CD pipeline, shared libraries, ...). Thousands of dashboards and alerts are regularly built and deployed using an "as code" solution and accessed regularly by DevOps, incident management groups, customer support teams and more. Our approach fosters high standards of standardization, quality and maintainability, with one main goal: provide the right data, to the right user, at the right time

Through live demos and detailed discussions, we'll demonstrate how to create and implement code-defined monitoring into your own development process.

Everything as Code: A Dozen As-Code Concepts beyond Infrastructure or Configuration as Code


Remember the good old days when we used UML diagrams to model our systems? Well, times have changed. Agile, SDL, TDD, and other cool stuff have given our code superpowers. Code is the new model these days!

But code is not just for writing software. Code can also define and manage everything else in our IT environment, from infrastructure and configuration to security and workflow. This is the idea behind “Everything as Code” (EaC), a new trend that is taking DevOps by storm.

While you may have heard of Terraform and ArgoCD, there's a new trend expanding into DevSecOps, workflows, and beyond.

Join me in this talk to discover over a dozen cutting-edge "as code" concepts, inspired by the pioneering work of Patrick Debois, the creator of the DevOps concept. These concepts range from Compliance, DataOps, Documentation, to even Slides as Code! Through live demos and discussions, learn how these trends revolutionize development, fostering collaboration and efficiency

Is DevOps the new silo? How Communities of Practice can help break the DevOps Wall

Silos are bad. We keep hearing how IT is tribal and divided, with teams that only care about their swim lanes. Sys-admins clash with developers over velocity. Devs don’t take Sec seriously. The storage team doesn’t care about the network. The network team is a bunch of jerks that don’t like anyone. It's a vicious cycle of mistrust and playground cliques.

DevOps hailed as the silo-busting savior, championing unity, emphasizing the purity of code commits and the CI/CD warrior’s path. However, is DevOps truly the liberator or just another silo in disguise: inadvertently reinforcing its own brand of isolation among DevOps teams and engineers?

And what’s worse, this isolation can backfire on the software we produce. Conway’s Law warns us that the way we organize ourselves can shape the software we produce. As silos may end up with poorly designed architectures that accumulate technical debt.

But there's hope. Communities of Practice offer a solution by promoting generative, collaborative innovation, and knowledge-sharing at scale. Join this real-world story to learn how Communities played a crucial role in a vast DevOps transformation, breaking down barriers and driving successful DevSecOps practices throughout our enterprise, and how they can contribute to transforming yours too!
