PulumiUP Europe 2024

Agenda

The virtual event will happen on November 20, 2024, starting at 9:00 AM GMT (UTC +0).

  1. Panel

    Platform Engineering: Integrating DevOps and Security

    Jess Mink
    Sr. Director of Platform Engineering at Honeycomb

    Kief Morris
    Global Head of Infrastructure Engineering at Thoughtworks

    Lindsay Jack
    VP Engineering, Security at Snyk

    Nariman AGA-TAGIYEV
    Application Security Architect at WiseFrog Security ⬇️

    By 2026, 80% of development companies are expected to have internal platform services and teams to improve development efficiency, according to Gartner. As platform engineering continues to reshape how organizations manage infrastructure, integrating DevOps and Security becomes essential for building scalable, secure platforms. 

    This panel will explore platform engineering, its core pillars, and how it aligns with DevOps and Security. They will also discuss best practices and share insights on how to balance security, scalability, and innovation while avoiding common pitfalls. As Security gains a crucial focus, the panelists will discuss challenges and opportunities when integrating DevSecOps into platforms of a scale that ensures developer autonomy while maintaining strict governance and compliance.

    Join us to gain practical insights on building secure, scalable platforms that enable developers to drive business impact.

  2. Session

    Streamline Your Infrastructure Deployment with GitOps and Pulumi Operator

    Sam Cogan
    Solutions Architect & Azure MVP at Willis Towers Watson ⬇️

    Are you tired of managing infrastructure deployments through a tedious and error-prone process? It's time to switch to GitOps and Pulumi Operator. GitOps has transformed the application deployment process, and with Pulumi Operator, you can now apply the same principles to your infrastructure.

    Join us for an insightful session where we will dive deep into the Pulumi Operator and learn how it works. We will demonstrate how you can define your infrastructure in Git, and have Pulumi automatically reconcile it into deployed infrastructure. Whether you are new to Pulumi or an experienced user, this session will provide valuable tips and tricks to help you streamline your infrastructure deployment process. Say goodbye to the pain of manual infrastructure deployments and say hello to GitOps and Pulumi Operator!

  3. Session

    Is This a Platform? Platform Engineering Before PMF

    Jk Jensen
    Team Lead, Staff Software Engineer at MystenLabs ⬇️

    Platform Engineering works great for larger, more mature organizations, and have clear direction after reaching product-market fit. But earlier-stage organizations are by necessity more nimble and agile.

    In this session, Jk will share how Mysten Labs built their service platform around Pulumi to help engineers and researchers move from prototypes to deployed environments, enabling their teams to iterate more quickly and develop an increasing number of systems without additional complexity.

  4. Fireside chat

    Security Automation - Faster. Cheaper. Better.

    David Giambruno, VP of Engineering and DevOps at Tivity Health

    Joe Duffy, Co-Founder/CEO at Pulumi ⬇️

    Join us for an insightful fireside chat, Security Automation - Faster. Cheaper. Better., moderated by Joe Duffy, co-founder and CEO of Pulumi, and featuring David Giambruno, VP of Engineering and DevOps at Tivity Health.

    In this session, David G. will share his expertise on how DevOps and DevSecOps teams are automating security processes to achieve higher quality and scalability. Learn how these efforts drive tangible business outcomes, accelerating development speed while creating a competitive edge.

    Don't miss this opportunity to listen to a use case that intersects security automation and business impact with an industry leader who's driving real-world results.

  5. Session

    Using Pulumi to Empower Kubernetes Fleet Management

    Blake Romano
    Sr. Software Engineer at Imagine Learning ⬇️

    Discover how Imagine Learning leverages Pulumi to manage a fleet of Kubernetes clusters and other platform resources quickly and reliably. Their approach has revolutionized their workflow, enabling them to scale efficiently while maintaining robust control over their infrastructure.

    Key Takeaways:

    • How they harness the power of Pulumi to manage several environments.
    • How you can use GitHub Actions to ensure a GitOps like deployment approach to your Infrastructure as Code.
    • Insights into achieving speed and reliability in day one and day two operations.
  6. Session

    Security of IaC Pipelines and Infrastructure Governance With Policies-As-Code

    Marina Novikova, Sr. Partner Solution Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    Andy Taylor, Sr. Networking Specialist Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS) ⬇️

    We hear it often: security is the top priority. But how do you ensure that your organization has the right practices and tools in place?

    In this session, we will discuss infrastructure security challenges and how Pulumi, as a modern IaC tool, can address security concerns. We'll review security in the cloud and how to use policy-as-code practices to shift more controls left to ensure we address infrastructure risks before deployment. We will also dive into Financial Services specifically and examine how Pulumi compliance-ready policy packs make it easier to shift left.

    Finally, we'll cover best practices for handling sensitive information like access keys, tokens, and encryption keys: scaling and automating your DevSecOps with Pulumi ESC for centralized environment, configuration, and secrets management. What we will cover:

    • Security and compliance: from mindset to automation with Pulumi IaC
    • How standardization and consistency help to remove risks while you scale
    • Shifting infrastructure security left and implementing policy as code practices with Pulumi CrossGuard
    • The AWS Shared Responsibility Model, its impact on PCI DSS requirements, and infrastructure level coverage by compliance-ready policy pack from Pulumi
    • Pulumi ESC as a way to handle sensitive configurations, for all environments and accounts with versioning and logging
