Implementing reliability for a post-pandemic future & re-tooling your toolkit!

Want to understand the pillars that make up reliability and how to implement each of them?

Join us for implementing reliability and retooling your DevOps, Security and reliability toolkit.

Learn from Steve and Mika as they share experiences, challenges and the mindset needed to empower you and your organisation to build secure and reliable systems.

Talk 1:

Implementing reliability for a post-pandemic future

Steve Wade will talk about his experiences to date empowering developers and importantly the wider business to care about the reliability of the applications they provide to customers. He will discuss the pillars that make up reliability, along with his hypothesis and results on implementing each of them. Steve will tap into his experiences working in a range of sectors including financial services on how he made companies make changes pre-pandemic, as well as the additional challenges organisations face in the future post pandemic. Steve aims to make sure attendees leave with a toolkit of ideas as well as lessons learnt so you don't make the same assumptions he did.

Steve is currently consulting at a Kubernetes Security stealth startup. Prior to his current role, Steve was a Senior Platform Engineer at Underwrite Me helping them build out their GitOps centric platforms. Before that Steve was the Platform Lead at Mettle, and was Principal Kubernetes Consultant at Apprenda providing Kubernetes training and implementation services. Steve has served in technology leadership roles across multiple verticals including real estate, gaming, and the UK parliament.

Steve has a BSc in Computer Science and is passionate about cloud-native software development and distributed computing. You can find him as @swade1987 on Twitter and GitHub.

Talk 2:

Retooling your toolkit

Security and reliability have a lot in common. So much in fact, that the tools used for one are often well suited for the other. The only thing you need is the right mindset. In this talk Mika Boström will go over the principles, ideas and share real world examples. You may realise you've been doing both already.

Mika has been working in infosec since the early 1990's. He's applied his trade in everything from logistics to security appliances, embedded systems and online gambling, all the way to financial services. As an author, a speaker, and engineer and a leader, he puts usability first in everything he does. He looks after platform security at Beacon.

We’re delighted to announce the launch of the first Reliability community meetup for 2022. This is an online session, once you register the zoom link will be shown for you to access the event.
