The future is now: join the DevOps revolution!

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 12:00:00 +0200

The software industry has been through a lot of change. The way we build, test, and deliver software has evolved dramatically — and it’s still evolving.

In this talk I trace that evolution: where we came from, where we are today, and where the real opportunities are for teams that want to move faster without breaking things. The DevOps revolution isn’t about tools — it’s about removing the friction between the people who build software and the people who operate it.

Introducción a los Schedulers

La coordinación manual de recursos es un proceso lento y propenso a fallos. El mercado ofrece diferentes tecnologías para resolver este problema — pero ¿cuál escoger? ¿por qué?

En esta charla hago una introducción a los principales sistemas de coordinación de recursos disponibles: Kubernetes, Mesos, Docker Swarm y Nomad. El objetivo es que el público salga con suficiente contexto para tomar una decisión informada.

From development to production in 5 minutes: is your company ready?

Thu, 17 Nov 2016 15:31:38 +0200

Companies want change. They say they want to adopt agile methodologies, DevOps, containers, and orchestrators. But wanting change and being ready for it are two different things.

In this talk, by drawing a parallel with the history of South American independence, I help people at every level of an organisation understand the real challenges — technical and cultural — of driving transformation in large companies. And what actually works.

Microservices infrastructure with Terraform, Consul and Vault

Thu, 08 Sep 2016 15:31:38 +0200

Together with Container Solutions and Cisco, we built a robust infrastructure specialised in the delivery of microservices. Three key components made it work:

Terraform for building and managing the infrastructure
Consul for service discovery
Vault for secrets management

In this talk I walk through the product we built, the decisions we made, and how the three tools glue together into something coherent.

Writing your own Terraform provider

Thu, 07 Apr 2016 15:10:47 +0200

While working with a client at Container Solutions, I had the opportunity to introduce Terraform to one of their critical infrastructure processes — turning a deliverable that normally took two weeks into a 30-minute Terraform run. Along the way, I wrote two custom Terraform providers.

This talk, preceded by a blog post, walks through why you’d write your own provider and exactly how to build one: the structure, the SDK, the provider schema, and the resource lifecycle.

Defining your infrastructure with code

A short introduction to Terraform — what it is, how it works, and why defining your infrastructure as code changes the way you think about operations.
