Walkthrough Configuring SLOs in Blameless

Service level objectives (SLOs) define what “success” means for engineering orgs, based on the user experience. It’s a whole new way of understanding your production services that helps keep customers satisfied and boosts development velocity. Another benefit to using SLOs is being able to align multiple teams on shared goals — from product to dev, ops, sales, and so on.

Retrospectives Do We Need Them & Why

A retrospective (or post-mortem) is a critical part of Incident Response. If you don’t document, share, and learn, everyone misses out on a critical learning opportunity. Retrospectives are designed to help teams collectively learn, iterate, and improve. It involves taking the time to story-tell exactly how an incident took place and discussing how to do better next time. The key is to shine new light on processes, tools, and systems so that you know how to fine-tune.

"She's not dead yet, Jim": Vulnerability and Retrospectives in Emergency Medicine

What can we learn about working through and analyzing IT incidents from the high tempo, very high consequence world of medical emergency rooms? What does vulnerability have to do with psychological safety, creativity, and team collaboration? It turns out that we can learn quite a lot. We can all benefit from drawing connections across different fields of study and this panel will explore some of these connections. DevOps Enterprise Summit Virtual - US 2021

How Everyone Learns From Incidents (If you’re on-call or not).

On call doesn’t have to suck. Right? Some vendors even have this as a tagline. Truth is some on-calls do suck (a little) especially if it’s a Sev0. Ever been in a chaotic on-call environment? Unclear on who’s doing what and how to run the playbook. Is there a playbook? This session shares approaches that simply work and more importantly how teams learn and improve over time. From living through inevitable incidents and reviewing retrospectives, everyone up-levels and learns. Happier DevOps teams, happier customers.

LISA21 - Groove with Ambiguity: The Robust, the Reliable, and the Resilient

The networked software systems we build are increasing in complexity every moment. Today the most successful builders and operators are embracing complexity through CI/CD, Chaos Engineering, and innovation in Incident Response. They realize that the adaptive world around us is advancing at such a breakneck speed, it is leaving our capacity to understand it in the dust. That humans and technology must race a gauntlet of automation surprises and collaboration challenges as a team, learning and improving along the way. This session showcases methods of deploying, running, and navigating complexity. It offers a practical view of how software systems can scale and remain robust to failure (like fallbacks or high availability), achieve highly reliable socio-technical operations (via runbooks and game days), and adapt to surprise through techniques of resilience engineering (graceful extensibility and building for adaptation).

How to Champion SRE Investment to Different Levels of Leadership

Reaching higher levels of the organization is essential to achieving broader adoption of SRE. Without the right buy-in even if parts of SRE are rolled out, behaviors will regress. How then do you get this support? It starts with finding out the incentives needed by key levels of leadership and how to effectively speak to those. It also requires listening to the resistance to SRE adoption, and then effectively address that resistance with reason and metrics. In this talk, I share how to persuade the right level of leadership so that an organization can progress the adoption of SRE through key stages. I provide case studies of how real companies have succeeded or failed with their SRE adoption. This talk aims to equip the audience with the tools to promote SRE adoption through a grassroots/bottoms-up approach.

Fireside Series: The secret to being a successful change agent in IT Operations

Are you tired of putting out the same fire day after day? You're not alone. Engineering leaders from every industry are working tirelessly to evolve their approach to incident management and IT Operations. Each installment of our Fireside Series is a conversation with one of your peers. We'll get under the hood of their team's strategy for building and operating some category-defining products. Then, we'll use their experiences to build and expand a roadmap for how you can lead your own company's operational evolution. For our first exclusive fireside chat, we welcome Trustengine's Devon Lash. Devon has been at the very front of Trustengine's efforts to overhaul incident management. He'll be joined by Blameless' Chief Reliability Officer, Lee Atchison, a luminary in the field of cloud computing and system reliability. Together, they'll explore Devon's experience as a change agent within Trustengine. They'll discuss strategies for turning traditional incident response on its head and how to coax people into adopting methods on the cutting edge. Join us for this conversation that promises to provide practical insights, strategies, and inspiration for anyone looking to elevate their approach to incident management and become effective change agents in their organizations.

Risks and Opportunities of AI in Incident Management

Large Language Models provide a powerful "sidekick" in resolving incidents. Our talk opens by exploring what LLMs can do when things go wrong: from parsing your codebase to debug, to ad-hoc testing scripts, to brainstorming solutions with engineers. These features ought to be considered by orgs of all sizes. Not only do they reduce the time sink of incidents, they open up that time for feature development, compounding advantages. LLMs aren’t perfect, and their common failure modes are critical when applied to incident response. We’ll cover some of these failures and how they’d look in the context of incident response, including hallucination, misprioritization, and black boxing. This isn’t the end of the world. Orgs just need to weigh these risks versus the speed and convenience of LLM incident response. To mitigate the risk, orgs need to invest in people. We’ll show how the resilience, adaptability, and knowledge of your incident response teams can compensate for the risks of LLMs. Emily Arnott Community Manager at Blameless @emilyarnott8 Emily is the community manager at Blameless, an incident workflow solution. She loves seeking out the cutting edge in how companies stay online. ---- Recorded Sept 21, 2023 at Strange Loop 2023 in St. Louis, MO. https://thestrangeloop.com
