DevOps Institute's 2022 Global SRE Pulse Survey

You’ve probably heard a lot of people talking about the role of Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) - but who are they? What do they do? And what do they care about? To learn more, we partnered with DevOps Institute to conduct their inaugural 2022 Global SRE Pulse Survey. In this episode, we’ll reveal our survey findings!

Join us as we discuss:

• The mindset and skills needed to manage site reliability
• The practices that teams are adopting, and how
• The opportunities and challenges that these teams face

DOIF: The journey from legacy to cloud-native architectures

What is the tipping point between “cloud-native-like” and “truly cloud-native?” Is it simply adopting new practices, processes, and technologies like containers or serverless? How do you empower your teams to take advantage of the unique features of cloud computing to power more reliable systems, reduce cost, and accelerate innovation?

Join us as we discuss:

• What do cloud-native tooling, process, and practices look like?
• Aligning teams with culture, automation, and measurement
• What are the challenges involved when evolving from a cloud-native application to a cloud-native organization?

The role of automation in a strong SOC response plan

Many of today’s organisations are already seeing the impact Artificial Intelligence (AI) can have in helping protect them from cybersecurity threats. In a Security Operations Centre (SOC), which continually monitors and analyses an organisation’s security posture, automating certain activities can help optimise, augment and speed up threat detection and resolution.

This webinar, which features bespoke research from Computing, will explore how organisations are running their security operations centres, how IT leaders can build a modern SOC with a strong response plan using automation, and what the future holds for automation in cyber security.

Is the multi-cloud reality everything it promises

Many of today’s organisations are opting for a multi cloud approach to their cloud architecture. The approach has its benefits, with organisations hoping to gain flexibility, optimisation, and agility by opting for multi cloud. But is the reality living up to these expectations? Having multiple products from multiple vendors can lead to a complex environment that can be difficult to manage and can contain hidden costs and security weak spots.

This joint webinar, featuring bespoke research from Computing, will take a look at why today’s organisations are choosing a multi cloud approach, the tools they are using to manage it and the vendors they are working with. It will explore the realities of managing a multi-cloud environment, the challenges it can present and how this can be improved. Finally, it will ask whether organisations are really getting everything they want from multi cloud.

Chaos Engineering

DevOps is all about safe experimentation, and feedback loops. Chaos engineering is all about purposefully triggering a software failure in production, in order to build confidence and resilience. How do DevOps teams leverage chaos engineering to deliver better customer experiences?

Join us as we discuss:

• How chaos can uncover failure before it impacts customers
• Getting all teams onboard with "chaos"
• Using chaos as a way to train teams and improve performance

What does it mean to be cloud-native?

With a panel of expert speakers from Sumo Logic and Computing, this webinar draws on the latest Computing research to discuss and explore:

• What it means to be cloud native
• The advantages this approach offers
• The technologies that cloud-native organisations are utilising and the innovations that have emerged as a result
• The challenges faced by those at different stages of their cloud journey and their plans for the future
• Whether cloud-native tools such as containers and microservices can unlock the same advantages for companies that weren’t born in the cloud

This webseminar and accompanying research is carried out in partnership with Computing - The UK's leading source for the analysis of business technology.

Reliability management

To keep modern, complex and continuously changing applications running is not an easy ask. Most operate by going from one fire-drill to the next.

Making your security stack SOAR with automated response

With cybersecurity teams within organisations now expected to take on more responsibilities without necessarily having the resources to match, as well as the ongoing issue of the cyber skills shortage, addressing the high number of security alerts is becoming increasingly difficult.

The following webinar, supported by bespoke research, will explore how organisations are using SOAR to close security blind spots and address skills shortages. It will delve into IT professionals’ attitudes to the use of automation in security strategy. Finally it will take a look at the role of the cloud, the value of open API frameworks, and how SOAR fits into the “shift left” movement, with security incorporated into the development cycle earlier.

Real-time intelligence and operations for the digital enterprise
