Trevor A year of PM land Streaming fun with Shuffleboard (and a little DevOps). Check out the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Shufflinsanity, or look at some shuff.io livestreams. Virtual conferencing! A doggo (Friday) Jessica Jessitron, LLC Cut my hair Last Keynote Codebeam March 7&8 last talk with Avdi systemsthinking.dev Bridget I planned to travel less. Sorry for causing (points to everything). Fewer events but playing with the pre-record format Jeff Got a new gaming table Wrote a book! Operations Anti-Patterns, DevOps Solutions Matty Last in-person conference was DevOpsDays NYC New job at Red Hat! DevOps Party Games Took over from Bridget as global chair for devopsdays Did “less” speaking this year (“only” 9-10 talks) 90s Sci-Fi Roundup Joe’s Babylon 5 talk at DevOpsDays Madison 2016 Joe’s Top Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1, ep 3: Born to the Purple, Great Londo episode. Season 2, ep 20: The Long, Twilight Struggle. End of the Narn/Centauri War. One of the best FX shots of the whole show. One of the best Londo/G’Kar eps. Season 3, ep 20: And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place. More good Londo/G’Kar. Season 4, ep 14: Moments of Transition. End of the Minbari Civil War. Good Delenn ep, better Neroon ep. Season 5, ep 8 Day of the Dead. Duh. Joe’s Worst Babylon 5 Episodes Season 1 ep 10: Believers. Basically Christian Scientists in space. I could have chosen TKO (Bloodsport in Spaaace!) or Infection (“He took a pretty bad hit!”). Believers is super-preachy and it has the pedigree of being written by David Gerrold (wrote the tribbles ep of original recipe Trek) Season 2 ep 18: Confessions and Lamentations. A deadly plague threatens the Markab. Another weak Dr. Franklin ep. Also, a deadly plague, read the room B5! Season 3 ep 18: Walkabout. Hey, look! It’s Wallace’s mom from Veronica Mars but oh, god, the songs! Season 4 ep 10 Racing Mars. Marcus AND Dr. Franklin together on Mars! Nuts and gum, together at last. Honorable mention: The Deconstruction of Falling Stars. Season 5 ep 11: Phoenix Rising. Fucking telegoths.

Cost Compression Aaron discusses the three big projects he’s working on. The first is cost efficiency, or, as Netflix thinks of it, “cost compression.” Jessica: “Oh, so you have to achieve cost compression without telling engineers not to spend money.” Aaron: “If you don’t believe you can predict very well, then what you should do instead is get really good at reacting.” The panel discusses the difference between autonomy and agency. The panel talks about the utility of data dashboards. Aaron: “The dashboards are more like cost debugging ultilities.” Access Isolation Aaron talks about his second big project, “a unified strategy for access isolation.” Jessica: “You want the cells to have access to the other cells in the same muscle tissue, but if they need a nerve ending they have to say so!” Regional Growth and Availability Aaron explains the third big project he’s working on, “Netflix’s regional growth and high availability story.” Aaron talks about how Netflix produces original content all over the world, and the coordination required to serve all the computation needs of the various projects in different places.
