Velocity San Jose 2018 gathered a highly diverse group of the world's best web ops practitioners, system engineers, and DevOps pros to explore topics related to building and maintaining complex systems, site reliability engineering, infrastructure as code, chaos engineering, and more. This video compilation gives you unfettered access to every keynote address, tutorial, and technical presentation delivered at the conference—more than 50 hours of material to explore at your own pace.
Renowned keynote speakers wowed the Velocity crowd with their insights and this compilation lets you hear them all, including Google Project Zero security engineer Natalie Silvanovich's call for feature simplicity in a world of endless JavaScript engine attacks; Heptio engineer Bryan Liles' look at the declarative application management practices that allow low-stress build-outs of highly complex infrastructures; DevOps leader Nicole Forsgren (DORA) reveal of the secrets she's discovered for building true high-performance teams (based on four years of research); and engineering wizard Tamar Bercovici sharing the lessons she's learned evolving Box’s database infrastructure from the simple (one MySQL DB host) to the highly complex (millions of queries per second/hundreds of billions of data records).
Looking to catapult your team's technical chops into the stratosphere? This compilation delivers all of the tutorials offered at Velocity, including Matt Torrisi's (Oracle/Dyn) course on how to deploy DNS with confidence across multiple platforms; Jasmin Nakic and Jackie Chu's (Salesforce) examination of how to use AI to solve performance problems; Tomas Lin and Emily Burns' (Netflix) look at building multicloud continuous delivery pipelines with Spinnaker; and Seth Vargo's (Google) demonstration of how to connect applications and services running under Kubernetes to HashiCorp Vault.
You'll also receive access to more than sixty technical sessions led by experts from such leading companies as Akamai Technologies, Microsoft, Tricentis, Zenedge, Everbridge, Contrast Security, IBM, AppDynamics, Riverbed, and more. Highlights include:
With total access to Velocity San Jose 2018's keynotes, tutorials, and technical sessions, this video compilation offers tremendous value to anyone interested in building the systems that make business work.
