Sprinkling DevOps Magic In Other People's Environments
Robert Postill - C3 business solutions
Description: Many Devops shops work with VMs in clouds or data centres they have ownership of (or at least have put money into). If there's a problem then the control those Devops shops exert can help them recover, rollback and redeploy. We don't, we ship virtual appliances with a Ruby on Rails application to customers. This presents some particular problems. For instance performance discussions are much more difficult if you're telling someone their infrastructure is a problem.
This talk is part discussion of our state of the art and part discussion of how we got to where we are. It should appeal to DevOps leads and architects who are looking to use DevOps techniques to manage systems that aren't in their direct control. In order to get ourselves in order we use a combination of tools like chef and New Relic to deploy, maintain and monitor our environment. We're not sure if we're doing it right but it sure beats trying to make operations playbooks :)
Feature flipping and Heroku-style deployment at learnable.com
Leni Mayo - learnable.com
At learnable.com, "git push" triggers deployment to the production learnable.com. This talk explores how a simple setup can support the continuous integration and deployment needs of a small startup.
The talk explores a related concept - feature flipping - a scheme for turning application features on and off at runtime. The implementation, use, and practical business benefits of feature flipping are discussed.
How Puppet fits into the larger ecosystem
Garrett Honeycutt - Puppet Labs
The goal of this presentation is to discuss how Puppet fits in and interacts with the rest of your infrastructure and to share best practices learned. We may begin with an overview of Puppet and how it works and then move on to to cover provisioning, software repository management, disposable architecture, self identifying systems, and change management techniques.
Downtime, stateful systems, and using clouds to stop rain on your parade
Wade Millican - Ninefold
When you're down, it's too late. Minds go racing, adrenalin's flowing. It's not an 'if' but 'when'. How have you prepared for this event? Do you even know you're down until you get the call? Could you use Cloud Bursting to sit ahead of an outage, or mitigate client/customer impact? We'll start in the trenches and end up in the clouds. Let's all fly the friendly skies.

Open Space
Open spaces are free form attendee driven sessions that run on both afternoons of the conference. They're a venue for attendees to share ideas, demo tools, and trade war stories.
On the day, conference attendees will be invited to write down their session ideas on an index card, and will have 15 seconds to spruik the idea in front of everyone. Attendees will vote on which sessions they want to see, and sessions will be assigned to break out rooms.
The best open space sessions have a small amount of preparation done before hand, but spontaneous session ideas organised on the day always yield surprisingly awesome results.
