The PAAS Operator: Your Ticket Out of Tech Ticket Hell

Thursday November 21, 2024 9:55am - 10:55am CET

Room 1

The Dutch Tax Office faces a massive hurdle: modernizing their legacy technology stack. HCS tackled this challenge head-on, not just by implementing OpenShift-based solutions, but by focusing on team enablement and scalability. The result was the birth of the PAAS Operator, a game-changer for self-service DevOps at scale.

Key Points:

- The Challenge: Bridging the tech gap for a complex, large-scale organization.
- The Journey: From hands-on enablement to streamlined automation and self-service.
- The Innovation: The PAAS Operator simplifies platform management, empowering DevOps teams with standard configurations for Tekton, Grafana, SSO, ArgoCD, and more.
- Demo Time: See the PAAS Operator in action!
- Community Call: We've open-sourced the PAAS Operator! Join us in building and extending its capabilities beyond OpenShift. (DISCLAIMER, by the time it is November it should be opensource)

Why Attend?

- Discover how to empower your DevOps teams for long-term - success.
- Learn best practices for scaling technology initiatives within large organizations.
- See how self-service can revolutionize platform management.
- Explore the PAAS Operator and contribute to its open-source future.

Let us know if you'd like any refinements!

From Docker zero to hero with Portainer.io

Thursday November 21, 2024 11:00am - 11:20am CET

Room 1

Containers are weird, and I don't get them. Why perform some weird voodoo magic when you can simply install everything bare-metal like I've always been doing? Docker is a scary word that I tried to avoid as long as possible.

Until my parents-in-law asked me if I wanted to revamp their network. So I needed a controller for the hardware. They also wanted a Home Assistant install. And a PiHole to get rid of those pesky ads. And an NVR for the security camera they wanted to install in their shed... And who knows what else they want in the future?

The hardware? A simple Raspberry Pi.
The goal? All of the above requirements and more.

Embark with me on a journey where I went from skeptic to believer, and where I used Docker for the first time in my life with Portainer.

Becoming DevOps - Confessions of an enterprise dev

Thursday November 21, 2024 12:55pm - 1:15pm CET

Room 2

DevOps is by now a widely accepted paradigm in Software engineering. As the realization that end-to-end ownership of an application consists of more than having push rights to the repository of both your backend and frontend is starting to settle in at even the most enterprisey of enterprises, you might start to feel lost on how to get started.

Are you feeling daunted by the idea of taking actual ownership? Or perhaps you've already recognized the benefits of taking charge of application delivery but find yourself entangled in the cogs of the software factory around you.

Join me as I guide you through my growth path from being a purely backend-focussed developer, to being the DevOps contact in my team.

I'll highlight key difficulties I've encountered and discoveries I've made along the way that helped me to achieve what I'm most passionate about: delivering better software, faster.
