 Gvisor was released 5 months ago and promoted with Google Cloud Platform's push for python3.7 support. Google identified the need for a user-space kernel to act as a sandbox in container/docker environments. Gvisor is written in Golang, provides a swop in runtime for docker and provides a additional layer of kernel protection from your executed code. Google's gvisor aims to protect the host kernel with "employs rule-based execution to provide defense-in-depth". Will cover a quick intro and how easy it is to get going with gvisor.

 SKA South Africa, a Business Unit of the National Research Foundation. We are building the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope (SKA), located in South Africa and eight other African countries, with part in Australia. The SKA will be the largest radio telescope ever built and will produce science that changes our understanding of the universe. Construction of MeerKAT's 64 antennas completed earlier this year, and we have deployed a basic correlator for 64-antenna imaging using 40G Ethernet interconnected SKARAB processing engines. The talk will detail the development, tricks and hacks that was done in order to qualify the 64 antennas (4096 channels) Correlator-Beamformer deployed on a SKARAB processing nodes, with challenges ranging from auto-subscribing to 128 multicasts SKARAB IP's to capturing & processing high-speed data in real time. We will also detail, the automated qualification testing framework which also generates a pdfTex document, executed by Jenkins CI running on a Docker container environment with zero human intervention.

+
+The ultimate goal of any map if to start a conversation, form a strategy, and then successfully execute it. Wardley mapping is a two dimensional form of value chain mapping that plots visibility against the evolution of a given practice. This will be an introductory, hand-on workshop.
+
+Most corporate strategies are based off of over-simplified models (if any) and depend largely on luck. Mapping helps visualize a strategy succinctly so what once took an hour and 25 slides to explain now takes 15 minutes and a map. Mapping improves our ability to determine if our strategies are likely to succeed or not, and how to form alternate plans should our circumstances change. During he first part of this session we’ll determine the fundamental components of our mock business using social practice maps. We’ll then re-center these components on a wardley map while discussing the pros and cons of different strategies and their impact on the underlying value chain.

+
+New to DevOps leadership or considering it? This talk is a collection of lessons learned from experience managing globally distributed DevOps teams. We discuss everything from hiring to coaching to staying “technical” in the fast changing software development world.
+
+Managing DevOps teams can be both challenging and rewarding. A relatively new field and a fast changing software landscape make leadership challenges here somewhat unique. This talk attempts to answer questions such as: * As DevOps leaders how do we inspire our teams and build partnerships outside the organization? * How do we prevent burnout despite tight deadlines and noisy on-call schedules? * What questions should we ask ourselves before implementing technology or process from companies like Netflix, Google, Amazon, and Facebook? * What decisions should you make as a manager and what should you leave to the team? * How can you communicate with and manage effectively offshore team members?

+Speakers = ["debbie-levitt"]
++++
+
+UX is driving you crazy, a black throwing off timelines and killing ideas. UX doesn’t seem Lean or Agile. Can’t anybody make wireframes? Can’t we circumvent or exclude these people?
+
+DevOps is truly about so much more than how developers connect with IT, how infrastructure is managed, and how frameworks can be improved. It’s about recognizing how many teams are truly involved in the software development process and finding better ways to make sure everybody is at the table.
+
+This session will explain how the UX process fits into Agile; saves companies money; augments DevOps goals; and increases customer satisfaction.
+
+1. Learn that DevOps goals overlap with UX goals.
+2. Correct integration of UX experts and tasks saves time and money, increases productivity and efficiency, creates the best idea execution for the target customers, and keeps engineering’s changes and rebuilds to a minimum.
+3. Learn how UX specialists conduct user research; design your entire product, app, website, or system; validate it through user testing; iterate to fix flaws; and deliver vetted blueprints so you can build once.
+4. How User-Centered Design fits into project timelines and development methodologies including Agile and Lean.

+
+The first phase of a major BCBST software delivery transformation, the first steps toward enabling true DevSecOps and CI/CD, is on target for completion by the end of 2018. Other teams had attempted this transformation before, but those attempts ultimately failed for various reasons. In early 2016, I was asked to step out of my role as Portal Architect / Portal Team Lead, learn how to “Do the DevOps,” and to “Build a team to pull that project out of the ditch.”
+
+I knew little of DevOps at the time, but with plenty of experience around build and delivery automation I was able to come up to speed quickly and by Q3 of 2016 had built and trained my very own motley crew of interns, former manual QA analysts, a Java developer, and a performance testing engineer that was ready to take on the challenge.
+
+This talk covers the key points of failure from the previous attempt and the changes I made that allowed my amazing team of magnificent misfits to resurrect a dead project and successfully deliver transformation in just 18 months… All with no prior experience, a tiny budget, an overly prescriptive process that we had almost no control over, and an outdated, inherited pipeline that users had already refused to adopt once.

+Every company makes technology choices (platforms, software, etc.) within the first few years of business. The question is - does every startup leader understand the major lasting impact these decisions will have on their company?
+
+This session will help leaders of startups and established companies make smart technology decisions that will position them to tap into the potential goldmine that lives within customer and business data. This data will drive product offerings, customer service, business processes, and more.
+
+Groundbreaking data analytics technologies such as Artificial Intelligence will soon be available and affordable even for small companies. Startups will be able to analyze customer data and make quick decisions on how to react. Mature companies will be able to mine years or decades of customer data to quickly highlight trends and make forecasts. But, all of this hinges on the fundamental technologies that capture and store data.

+Speakers = ["ken-mugrage"]
++++
+
+10 or 15 years ago we would hear “agile doesn’t work” from lots of people. They had “used agile” on a project, and the project failed anyway. Most of the time a little investigation revealed that they didn’t really try it at all. Instead they worked much like they always had, just for two weeks at a time instead of several months.
+
+The same thing is happening with people “doing DevOps”.
+
+I strongly believe that the most important thing about a DevOps transition is the required changes in culture. But you can’t actually have self organized teams if you’re working on systems that are hard to build and deploy. You also can’t easily automate that build and deploy process if your architecture is hard to test.
+
+In this talk I’ll point out several areas of focus when making the transition, and point out why it’s important that you change everything.
+
+Culture change - DevOps is about culture first and foremost. I’ll talk about some of the organizational structures which can help in creating a sharing culture where the teams and the technology can thrive.
+
+Modern architecture - Adopting a technical architecture which is more testable and changeable is key to the ability to move fast. Taking advantage of microservices and platforms (such as PaaS) can help with this.
+
+Continuous Delivery - Continuous Delivery is more than just automating deployment. Making sure your software is going through things like security, performance and compliance testing in addition to “standard” tests. I’ll show ways to make sure your deployments are not only fast, but safe.
