Pivotal Labs
SpringOne platform is coming up quick - next month! - so Richard and Coté do their annual review of favorite talks. There's talk on agile, pipelines, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Spring, case studies, and so many more they don't have time to discuss. In recent news, Knative was recently announced which is wangling to be "the building blocks for running serverless workloads on kubernetes," as Google's DeWitt Clinton put it. Richard and Coté discuss knative, Istio, and how "serverless" seems to now mean just any old type of programming, but with containers and all that cloud native stuff. They also discuss container registries. Also, European toilet paper and beds.

So, this year, the "DevOps" track is actually DevOps, pipelines, and agile. Hopefully next year we can get a whole agile track, but it surfaces some new types of talks.
-
Data Driven Decision Making for Product Development, Pivotal - in the small batch, fast feedback loop talk, we're always talking about observing how people use software - looking at data. There's not a lot of discussion about that...so, here we are. Also, see the 2009 Microsoft study that Coté mentions, which found that only about one third of features added to the web properties achieved the team's original goals—that is, were useful and considered successful.

Boeing talk - "What does it take to get 1400 developers building 700 production apps on a common platform in less than two years?" Last year, Niki Allen gave a short keynote, mostly on setting the vision for doing better software. I've heard some of the ongoing work we've been doing, and it'll be good to hear more, and public.
-
Thinking Architecturally, Nate Schutta - I haven't read this book yet, but I think I've seen the ur-version of this talk on the road with Nate.
-
Building Digital Capabilities in the Energy Sector Leveraging Agile Processes & Cloud Technologies, Sau Sheong Chang, Singapore Power - we have a fair amount of power companies, and also grid/IoT customers. There's not that many public cases, or maybe just ones I know of, so I'm always looking for more. Plus, Singapore! There's also one from DBS: "i) embarking on a digital transformation programme (leveraging technology to acquire new customers, simplify the way DBS customers transact with the bank and increase customers digital engagements with the bank); ii) reimagining customer and employee experiences; and iii) creating a start-up culture."
-
Extreme Pipelines, MasterCard & Pivotal - there's a lot that a pipeline does for you: aside from your platform, it's maybe the most important asset (maybe even #1). I want to hear how MasterCard sorted it out, esp. since they likely have some regulatory stuff to deal with. And there's another one on putting together your pipeline: Zero to Multi-Cloud, with Marcin and Jon Schneider, both of Pivotal.

The Anatomy of Building a Compliant PCF Service in a Limited Connectivity Environment #BoomSauce, Raytheon - compliance!
-
PCF Killed the ITSM Star - Kyle, here, as spoken on moving from traditional IT management think to cloud native at CSAA, even this talk. I always want to hear more.
-
Buckets, Funnels, Mobs, and Cats or: How We Learned to Love Scaling Apps To The Cloud, Pivotal - all about Application Transformation and friends. Since it's one of the most popular, pragmatic topics, hearing new chatter on it is always handy. There's another one on the legacy topic too.
