SRE Psychology: Understanding the Human Element in System Reliability 2025-03-06 · 23:00 Michael Josi – Senior Director Software Engineering - Head SRE @ Transamerica "What if you have a beautiful SLO Dashboard and it's all red and no one cares?" The mission of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is to ensure the reliability, scalability, and performance of critical systems - a goal best achieved through strong collaboration with teams across the organization. We are exploring how SRE is embedded in an organization, how it interfaces with application owners, senior management, business stakeholders and external software/hardware vendors. In all these cases the success of SRE's mission hinges on the effectiveness of the relationships. We will use plenty of examples of what worked, what failed in our past work and why. Additionally, we will address funding challenges that can unexpectedly impact even well-established SRE teams. Mike has built his career around driving performance and efficiency, specializing in optimizing the security, availability and speed of cloud applications, data and infrastructure. He developed the first currency program trading system for the Toronto Stock Exchange at UBS and later refined his expertise in optimizing trading systems and migrating core data to the cloud at Morgan Stanley and Transamerica. He is a founding member of the NYZH consultancy, focusing on AI and SRE. Based in Denver, Colorado, Mike is a pilot who enjoys desert racing and cycling, sharing adventures with his wife and three children. AI/ML Cloud Computing Dashboard Cyber Security
Cloud and DevOps, connection with SRE Principles and Practices 2025-03-06 · 23:00 Vishakha Sadhawani – Cloud Architect @ Google Get ready to dive into the world of DevOps & Cloud tech! This session will help you navigate the complex world of Cloud and DevOps with confidence. This session is ideal for new grads, career changers, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the buzz around DevOps. We'll break down its core concepts, demystify the jargon, and explore how DevOps is essential for success in the ever-changing technology landscape, particularly in the emerging era of generative AI.

Canary Analysis. De-Risking Deployments, the SRE Way 2025-03-06 · 23:00 Michal Wegorek – Staff Software and Site Reliability Engineer @ Google How Google SREs use Canary Analysis to help ensure safe deployments for one of the largest No-SQL databases on the planet with 5 9's reliability SLA with no maintenance downtime Michal Wegorek is a Staff Software and Site Reliability Engineer at Google, specializing in the intricate world of distributed systems, particularly those at extreme scale. He's part of the Bigtable team. The Bigtable database handles over 10 Exabytes of data, sustains 7 billion queries per second, and maintains an impressive five nines of reliability. As a technical lead, he guides his team through complex design challenges, ensuring robust and scalable solutions. Though he now primarily focuses on architectural design and reviews, his passion for coding remains as strong as ever. Michal is energized by the collaborative spirit of his colleagues, valuing the diverse perspectives that contribute to their collective success. Outside of work, Michal channels his energy into tennis, striving for daily workouts to maintain both physical and mental agility. He believes in the power of teamwork, both on and off the court.
