Day 2 of 2025 Secure Carolinas Conference is underway!

“If the business goes under, you don’t need cybersecurity.” - Dan Lohrmann, Presidio, at the 2025 Secure Carolinas Conference

The 2025 Secure Carolinas Conference is kicking off!

Getting ready to go on @kc_dc with Castle Defense 101 (aka Threat Modeling). I know it’s Friday afternoon, but I’m still hoping for some good audience participation.
#KCDC2025

I’m finishing up Friday morning @kcdc.bsky.social with @jeanneboyarsky.bsky.social talking about Testing: Going beyond JUnit #KCDC2025

My next session @kcdc.bsky.social is @venkats.bsky.social with The Amazing Features of Modern Java #KCDC2025

I realize this is my own bias coming through, but the migration lesson learned seems to be never to tie yourselves to Windows. You’ll eventually want/have to scale up to Linux.
@kc_dc @_BobJWalker_ #KCDC2025

My first #KCDC2025 session for Friday is From EC2 to Kubernetes: Takeaways from a brownfield migration by @_BobJWalker_
@kc_dc

My last #KCDC2025 session for the day is How we progressively deliver changes to 1000s of customers with Canary Deployments and Feature Flags by Bob Walker
@kcdc.bsky.social

My mid-afternoon session at #KCDC2025 is Thomas Haver with Test Data Management: There is no silver bullet but we can nuke it from orbit @kcdc.bsky.social

My after lunch session @kcdc.bsky.social is A comprehensive guide to the Azure messaging services by @eldert.net #KCDC2025

DevOpsDays Austin organizers kicking off day 1 of the conference

Sorry @devopsdaysaustin.bsky.social My flight got cancelled and I had to bail even before open spaces today. I did get my slides posted to the schedule for “Bad Things You Can Do to Unsecured Containers”. Thanks to all that attended my workshop, and thanks to the community for inviting me.

If we held an in-person DevOps, Testing, or Development meetup in the Northern Virginia area, would you attend?

I'm trying to see whether the meetup groups are worth saving. They've fallen off so much since the pandemic that I'm not sure they will recover.

- KEDA or Knative for auto-scaling pods
- including scale-to-zero
- Karpenter for auto-scaling nodes

Anything else that I'll always need?
3/3

I'm thinking:

- Prometheus and Grafana for observability
- Cilium for NetworkPolicies
- eventually, for IPv6 to avoid IP address exhaustion
- Tetragon for runtime security since we have Cilium
- Hubble for network visualization since we have Cilium

If you were building a reference Kubernetes cluster, what tools would you need in every instance? I'm thinking of a cluster we clone the IaC for, almost entirely set up for deploying an application with the tools we'll always use.

Is it an academia thing where I am rewarding them for allowing me the honor of presenting? I'm not even doing it "for exposure," but I'm buying an opportunity to share my experiences. Seems weird to me.
3/3

I can pay them $500 because "we anticipate that all participants will derive value from the whole event, not just the time they are presenting." I might have thought it was a scam, but this is SEI CMU.
2/3

I've been speaking at tech conferences for quite a few years, but this is the first time I've been asked to pay to speak. Not just in the #PayToSpeak sense, where I'm expected to cover my own travel and lodging.

What to expect when you are moving to AF Cloud One, Thu, Jan 23, 2025, 7:00 PM | Meetup Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, seems clear on the move to cloud services: “The Federal Government must… accelerate movement to secure cloud se

I'm looking forward to my first meetup in a while. DevOps Columbia has invited me to talk about my experiences moving to Air Force Cloud One on Thursday evening, Jan. 23.
