🎤 Talks & Speakers

• Title: DevOps in Space: Lessons from Low Earth Orbit
• Speaker: David Jacovkis
• Duration: 30-45 mins
• About: I started as a sysadmin when workloads ran on bare metal, and Devs were the enemies of Ops. The industry changed, and we changed with it, but at the end of the day, we're still the ones who receive an alert when things stop working.
• Abstract: Remember when you knew all your servers by name and deployed changes with a single SSH command? Now imagine doing that when your link comes in 10-minute windows every few hours, and bandwidth is a precious commodity measured in kbps. Welcome to DevOps in Space. At Sateliot, our Infrastructure & Software Engineering team works at the intersection of aerospace, telecommunications and software. We build modern distributed systems and then send them to an environment where normal expectations -low latency, immediate feedback, up-to-date systems- simply don’t apply. In this talk I’ll give a high-level tour of the challenges that make space and telco different: intermittent and low-bandwidth connectivity, long feedback loops, constrained devices, and the cultural gaps between aerospace, telco and software teams. I'll also share some adaptations that allow us to apply some of the DevOps processes and tools that have become industry standards.

• Title: FinOps from the Code: Controlling Cloud Costs with Terraform and Infracost
• Speaker: Julia Lamenza
• Duration: 30-45 mins
• About: Julia is an SRE with 15 years of Linux experience. Obsessed with automation, uptime, and catching flights more than outages
• Abstract: In many engineering teams, cloud costs are still a surprise that shows up at the end of the month. Infrastructure gets deployed with Terraform, services scale automatically — and only when the bill arrives does someone ask: why are we paying so much? That's where FinOps comes in.
