Pure Storage: How We Run Site Reliability Engineering

Join us for an insightful and engaging Pure Storage SRE meet-up featuring talks from experts in Site Reliability Engineering . Our speakers will cover topics ranging from the evolution of incident management to real-world experiences with observability tools and how to implement SRE into existing structures. Whether you're new to SRE or a seasoned professional, this event will offer valuable insights, practical tips, and open discussions on key challenges and solutions in the field.

Please make sure you book your seat as the capacity is limited!

### Talk 1: The Need for SREed - Implementing SRE in an Existing Structure

Speaker: Štefan Šafár
Description: As organizations grow, it's impossible for everyone to know everything. This talk will address the transition that comes with implementing SRE in a startup or established structure, where dedicated teams may not initially exist for security, support, or tooling. Stefan will discuss how to adapt, embrace losing some control, and gain confidence in production environments.

### Talk 2: From firefighting to Event Orchestration: The Evolution of Incident Management.

Speaker: Alena Kamenščikova
Description: This talk will explore the transformation of incident management, moving from a reactive "firefighting" approach to a more proactive, orchestrated method. Learn how modern incident management strategies focus on streamlining responses and improving operational resilience.

### Talk 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Stories About OpenTelemetry

Speaker: Miroslav Brabenec
Description: Eighteen months ago, an internal demo introduced OpenTelemetry as the plug-and-play solution to all observability issues at Pure Storage. Where are we now? Miroslav will share the good, bad, and sometimes frustrating aspects of OpenTelemetry—why everyone loves it, when it falls short, and why it's impossible to ignore.
