[Virtual] OPEN Session: Top Overspending on the cloud with AU

Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PST

Philip Andrews, CAST AI, Field CTO

The cost of running applications in the cloud is astronomical, and it’s only going to get more expensive given the growing number of organizations that have started running and training AI models. Did you know that, on the average, companies spend on cloud computing almost three times what they should? Why? The answer is overprovisioning of expensive resources and equates to throwing money down the drain.

The solution is simple: automation.

In this session, I will:
Explain why organizations spend on average 3x more than they should on cloud resources - the vast majority of cost waste is the result of CPUs and memory that are provisioned but not utilized
Highlight the negative impact that has on organizations
Explain how it can be avoided via automation - Monitoring and recommendations are not enough. It’s impossible for a human to optimize their cloud infrastructure in real-time. Automation is necessary and automation is cool.
Showcase a couple of examples of companies that have automated cloud resourcing and the benefits they’ve received.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: GitHub Actions: Make Them Work for You!

Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 10:20am PST

VIRTUAL Cloud Native World

Eleftherios Chrysochoidis, Chubb, Lead API Software Engineer

GitHub Actions offer robust and free CI/CD capabilities to streamline your development process. In this presentation, we'll dive into the core components of GitHub Actions and explore how they can be set to work for you by demonstrating various simple and advanced use cases!

GitHub Actions is an ideal tool for any project hosted on GitHub. It provides CI/CD features out of the box and is accessible to everyone without the need for extra infrastructure or setup. The declarative way of creating Actions makes their usage really easy, and its remarkable free layer provides sufficient limits even for big projects.

Especially for Open Source projects, where usually there is more than a single contributor, the need for CI/CD is huge. What will happen if you own an open source project and someone creates a Pull Request with really nice features but adds Security risks in the project (e.g. due to deprecated dependencies) or if they break some of the existing functionality? Would you be able to check all of them on your own? Maybe yes, but it would take much more time compared to having them all checked automatically by utilizing GitHub Actions.

Join me to explore how to make GitHub Actions run faster by utilizing caching mechanisms, build Reports for Testing, Coverage and Security issues and integrate them with any open Pull Request in the community, to have an automated evaluation of the suggested PR and get notifications for them.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Say Goodbye to Toil: Automating Cluster Upgrades

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

OpsWorld Stage

Ben Ryves, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer
Maggie Slukova, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer

How difficult is it to minimize the toil of cluster upgrades while increasing confidence in deploying the changes?

Even when managed, cluster upgrades are an unavoidable part of cluster maintenance, yet they can also be a source of toil, stress and outages; either when upgrading Kubernetes itself or additional cluster components. Manually testing changes in staging clusters, deploying with a high sense of uncertainty - these time consuming tasks can be mitigated with tests. Add nifty automation and cluster management efforts are reduced to a bare minimum.

Is investing in cluster tests and automation worth it? Yes! This talk shows how a team of three engineers keeps multiple clusters continuously up-to-date with minimal time investment, effort and disruptions. By leveraging the e2e-framework and Helm, everything from Istio to cluster autoscaler is tested and seamlessly managed.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: The New “Outer Loop”: Leveraging AI to Test, Review, Merge, and Deploy Code Changes

Wednesday February 19, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST

VIRTUAL OpsWorld

Kenneth DuMez, Graphite, Developer Relations Lead

As AI tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT generate code at an unprecedented rate, the “outer loop”—reviewing, testing, merging, and deploying—becomes more vital than ever. In this talk, we'll explore why increased volume of AI-generated code elevates the need for robust oversight. Studies show that up to half of AI-generated solutions contain bugs or vulnerabilities, underscoring the continued importance of human-in-the-loop reviews.

In this talk we'll take a look at how next-gen developer tools can harness AI not just for coding, but to automate large-scale tests, streamline pull requests, resolve conflicts, and reduce noise in code reviews. By building an AI-powered, end-to-end platform that fully understands the codebase, teams can accelerate velocity without sacrificing quality. Attendees will learn real-world strategies and best practices for establishing an “outer loop” that safely and efficiently deploys high volumes of AI-generated code—ensuring continuous innovation without compromising reliability. We’ll also discuss pitfalls to avoid when integrating AI into existing pipelines.
