🎤 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: Rats in my pipeline! The never-ending story of supply chain attacks
• Speaker: Davinci Lisapaly
• Duration: 30-45 mins
• About: I'm a software engineer turned security engineer. I ensured product teams are shipping secure code without blocking them. Also, have a curse for incidents happening while walking my dog.
• Abstract: In the day and age of micro services, every 10 lines of code have their own pipeline. Not only is it a challenge from a reliability perspective, but also within the security domain. Most of the code we ship isn't even ours. How do we make sure that the code is safe? How do we make sure we can trust the dependencies we import? How do we prevent RATs from slipping into our production environments and stealing all our cheesy secrets and tokens? This presentation will explain, through real-world supply chain incidents, what these rats are and how we can detect and prevent them from even entering our pipelines.
