Building ML solutions from scratch is challenging because of a variety of reasons: the long development cycles of writing low level machine learning code and the fast pace of state-of-the-art ML methods to name a few. On the other hand, solutions that automate the ML model development process are often opaque and hard to iterate on, resulting in users churning out. In this talk Iโ€™ll cover declarative ML systems, and how they address key issues that help shorten the time taken to bring ML models to production.

QCon Plus Software Development Conference

In this talk weโ€™ll go over tools and techniques to deploy PyTorch in production. The PyTorch organization maintains and supports open source tools for efficient inference like pytorch/serve, job management pytorch/torchx and streaming datasets like pytorch/data. This talk will give an overview of the tools we use both internally at Meta and recommend externally for easy MLops that can scale to hundreds of machines.

Ray is an open source project that makes it simple to scale any compute-intensive Python workload. Industry leaders like Uber, Shopify, Spotify are building their next generation ML platforms on top of Ray. Ray is equipped with a powerful distributed scheduling mechanism which launches stateful Actors and stateless Tasks in a much more granular and lightweight fashion than existing frameworks. Meanwhile it also has an embedded distributed in-memory object store to drastically reduce data exchange overhead.

๐Ÿ—ฃ Sasha Rosenbaum, Director of the Cloud Services Black Belt Team at Red Hat shares how Red Hat ships #OpenShift both as a product and as a service, which can make it extra difficult to draw the lines between feature development and toil automation work.

QCon Plus Software Development Conference

One of the most important decisions in building an SRE practice is what kind of work should be assigned to the SRE team, and in what percentages. At Red Hat, we ship OpenShift both as a product and as a service, which can make it extra difficult to draw the lines between feature development and toil automation work. In addition, we face the usual SRE struggle between striving for toil minimization and unintentionally devaluing Ops-type work. In this talk, we will discuss the evolution from shipping products to running services, and what we've learned while trying different approaches.

QCon Plus Software Development Conference

The last two years created a massive discontinuity in how we work, and now the debate rages: are we going back to the way things were, or investing to move forward? For many, the era of toiling nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is being replaced by a better way โ€” flexible work. But achieving true flexibility -- not only in where but critically when people work -- requires overcoming decades of habits and conventional wisdom built up around โ€œthe right way to workโ€ based on 9-to-5 days full of meetings in office buildings.

"In Infrastructure as #Code: Past, Present, Future, weโ€™ll discuss why and how #IaC came about, where it has gone, and where it is going. Weโ€™ll look at some of the challenges (and solutions) that weโ€™ve experienced and how this shapes the future of IaC. After this talk, we'll all be informed and ready to choose the right IaC solution now and for new projects." - Joe Duffy, Founder and CEO Pulumi.

Infrastructure as code enables us to automate and manage all sorts of infrastructure, from on-premises virtual machines to cloud resources, and everything in between. Using code, we can codify definitions and processes, rather than performing them manually, ensuring repeatability, scalability, and many of those other "-ilities" we know so well in the software industry.

The containers are deployed and the builds are green. Yaml flows through the system, linted, reviewed, tested, and shipped with ease and regularity. Our intrepid SRE finds themself at a crossroads. The infrastructure is great but teams still struggle to maintain error budgets. These developers need help, and it doesn't seem like anyone else is coming to help them. We embark on a journey, to find out where resilience exists and how to make more.
