ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE

The Doctor and companions
work together
like Ops and Devs
CONTROL ISSUES

Work together as equals,
give up control and
share responsibility
DISTRIBUTE RESPONSIBILITIES

More people having access helps
avoid single points of failure,
but still limit potential for destruction
ONE STEP AT A TIME

Understand changes and
take one step at a time
AUTOMATE ALL THE THINGS

Automate the tedious tasks
and have time for the fun stuff
MANAGE GROWTH

Use automation and
configuration management tools to
easily spin up large numbers of systems
MONITOR AND MEASURE

Monitor and measure
as much as possible to track progress
for performance, processes and people
DON’T CREATE MONSTERS

Create a culture where
developers and ops
both avoid short cuts that
create new infrastructure monsters
DELEGATE TO MINIONS

Delegate the grunt work
to automation tools
(if you don’t have minions)

Thanks to Dave Zwieback aka @mindweather for suggesting a Gru and the minions reference.
LAWS OF ROBOTICS

Use configuration management systems
with rules to control
infrastructure behavior
REDSHIRTS ARE EXPENDABLE

Treat your servers
like redshirts

Side note: read John Scalzi’s ‘Redshirts’
BORG COLLECTIVES

Each component is
just one part of a
complete system
“EVERYTHING WE DO OUT
HERE IS A RISK!”

Everything has risk
find ways to manage risk
while still getting shit done

Thanks to Mike M aka @xyntrix for suggesting this SGU risk quote, 'Everything we do out here is a risk!'
SHARE USEFUL SKILLS

Learn and share new ideas
with the rest of the team
MENTORING

Train the next generation
and help others succeed
STRONG WOMEN

Encourage women in our field
and get more women
speaking at our events
DON’T PANIC

Things will go wrong
keep things in perspective
calmly recover
THANK YOU
