00:00:04

Welcome back everybody. Uh, hope you've been joined the day so far. I know I have. And, uh, we're ready for our next pair of lightning talks to John, who do we have coming up?

00:00:16

So we've got two great ones, uh, Helen bill, who I love and, um, and then J Paul Reed, it was always amazing. And I think, um, for these, it's going to be interesting because one of the things I love about ignites or lightning talks is they don't always have to be sort of dev ops and technical. They actually can be, you know, something else or they can skip sort of boundaries. So, yeah,

00:00:36

I think it's also shows that, uh, talk to the people around virtually around you, the dev ops community, especially the DevOps enterprise summit community is full of very interesting people with diverse backgrounds and interests and hobbies. So it's always a fun time to find something new about

00:00:50

A lot of boundary spanners, which is, I think is really always fun. That's one of the great things about our community.

00:00:55

I always find, well, here we go. Here's our next pair of lightning talks.

00:00:59

Hi, I'm Helen Bell. Welcome to my ignite. Talk for DevOps enterprise London, 2020. I'd say I'm going to be talking about kingly veil, which is a national nature reserve in the UK where I live and where I volunteer. One of the hardest things about lockdown has been not being allowed to visit . We spend a lot of my time here is me with a bucket of cow feed. I'm trying to move some cows around the reserve and explain what they do. They're a little bit later on, but they rather like the huge trees, uh, which I'll talk about too. This is one of the views. This is the view south from the top of the reserve out to the soul. And it has incredible views. Um, very, very steep climb up a hill, but you do get rewarded with these views up to Solon and there, uh, beyond the English channel and they're beyond France.

00:01:46

And this is the view of the other way into the sari Hills and, and deep in the distance. So you can see a national trust time called a park, and you can see our peaceful, British countryside, her hair, it's picking a little bit wintry. Um, and here you can see the actual map of the reserve earlier on you to send them up with the UK. Hopefully those of you with equalized to notice a big red pin pointing out exactly where we are, which is, uh, near Chichester on the south coast of England. And this is the reserve itself. And it's very famous for many things. Partly it's archeology archeological monuments say, Hey, you can see some bronze age barriers on the left, and then you can see on the right, what they look like today, uh, notes, the sheep on both of them and also lots of INH and other things.

00:02:30

These are the sheep. They join us every winter from the national trust in their hair to help us graze the grasslands. Basically we have some chocolate, which is one of our travel, our size, our special sites of special scientific interest. And these are all cows that also help graze down. Um, the Swart, uh, in order the are very fragile chocolate plants can survive. Um, Ken's the stronger plants. That's these animals help us graze down. This is what would have been on the land many, many years ago in Brahms agencies, he saw, um, other history during world war two. We had a number of Canadians on site that were there, Hayden ready to do reverse ambush, but we've got lots of ordinance, still the sites. You can see some there and see a man he's about to blow smoke. And the cows extremely unbothered. I mentioned the uterus.

00:03:16

This is one of the things that the scientists makes famous for. Huge new forest, very old you choose. You can see the size of when they're 500 to a thousand years old, very poisonous trees. Although interesting, not to the red Berry, you can eat the red Berry quite happily, but nothing else. This is off the Tansy and you can see on the bottom left the stone that we have in Memorial to him and the plaque on it. There he is the founder of nature, compensate conservation in the UK. And the reason that the reserve exists, uh, uh, he recognized that this was for human wellbeing. This is some of the that I use when I'm on sites. This is a little module that plugs into my phone, the auto to tax the bat species. You can see a couple of quite rabbits. There depends on some back steins.

00:03:56

We're particularly interested in those all about sun protection in the UK. We also have lots of amphibians whilst when the amphibians crap, in the case of these, some tadpoles we're particularly interested in Newt spotting. So we go in and do Newt surveys and turn them over into belly print. And that's how you tell whether one neatest, not another. We just have three species of deer on the reserve. Again, we have cameras on the reserves to some more tech that we're using, particularly interested in where the deer are grazing again, because it protects those plants. Sometimes the deer get themselves into trouble, has a little, a baby deer that had got caught in a fence. That's going to the vets. Another reason we have those traveler size are all kids. So you can see a number of different all kids here. We have a really amazing display, um, during the spring of various different species of frog and bee and Eddie pyramids and all sorts of different orchids and lots of butterflies.

00:04:46

So we have about 38 of the 59 species of butterfly, um, that are in the UK. So you can see our peacocks on the top. And then, uh, one particular friendly one sat on my shoulder. Um, it also got these other ones. So this is HIPAA crepitus called Mesa, which is a plant on a Barbera and plants, the horse she batch. And this is a caterpillar. Um, it's a short kill blue caterpillar, and this is one of my favorite bus flows. I'm particularly fascinated with. You can see just a bit of thumbnail. So you see how big that flyers here with the adults, uh, on the right, making sure that we've got some more butterflies next year, a very unique color, this Milky blue, the very lazy butterflies, and he traveled about 20 kilometers. Some of those butterflies you looked at earlier, uh, she migrates from Africa to the UK.

00:05:31

Uh, and this is the . This is one of the anthills with some wild time over it. And I put this in here because the chalk hill blue bus flight lava has a relationship with this yellow Meadowmont. Um, the yellow takes love and puts them inside the nest and looks after them and saves them from predators. And this is the life cycle. So we are about to go into the season now of the bus flipping, being on the wing in July, just as we finished us. I hope you enjoy the conference very much and enjoy talking about software life cycles to thank you for your time.

00:06:04

Hello, DevOps, enterprise summit, London, virtual edition. My name is J Paul Reed at JPL read on Twitter. Do you do retrospectives postmortems? Do you maybe have a problem management team that does incident reviews for you? How about ever gotten a speeding ticket? Well, if so then this lightning talk is for you. So our story starts in beautiful and sunny Daly city, California, which is just south of San Francisco at the daily city in and out. Now the daily city in and out is objectively one of the best in and outs because it is co-located with a Krispy Kreme donut. So you can get your burgers and donuts and all in one convenient location. Um, I just picked up my mom actually at the airport and, uh, we decided to have lunch at the, in and out there. Um, and so I was turning left out of the parking lot after we'd eaten to get back on the highway and go home and, and, uh, start hanging out and doing fun stuff.

00:06:50

And so I roll up to this intersection, of course, it's a beautiful day. My mom and I were fat and happy on our cheeseburgers, uh, ready to go, uh, explore the sites of San Francisco. And as I turn out of that intersection behind me, I spot in my rear view mirror this, um, and by the way, this is actually a photo of the daily city police officer who pulled me over. And I include them in the deck because he has probably one of the best names I've heard for a police officer. This is officer director of the daily city PD. So, uh, he doesn't have make any, uh, chitchat, smalltalk. None of that. He's not, did you know what you did wrong? Nope. He said, did you see the sign? And I was like, well, what sign? Uh, so he's like licensed and registered registration please. So he takes all of that and goes back to his patrol car starts running. It all comes back to me with a ticket. And I'm like, what just happened? I mean, we're having cheeseburgers, we're happy. Everything's going well. And then, uh, like I owe the county $238, like what is going on? Uh, definitely a downer, uh, for the day. Well, so let's go back to this intersection. I'm going to be quiet and I want you to take a close look and see if you see anything weird about this particular intersection.

00:08:04

So some of you may have seen just how many, right? Turn only signs that I, uh, supposedly not obey. Um, there's uh, are they about the same intersection? Like why are there two, do they just really not want you to do that? Like w that's was weird. Uh, so I looked a little closer and it turns out that these signs are different signs. They have different, different font, they have different dimensions. Um, they're affixed differently to the infrastructure there. Um, and so this sort of posed a question for me, like, well, what should a right turn only sign look like? So of course I pulled the California manual on uniform traffic control devices and went down this weird Byzantine rabbit hole of like what signs are supposed to look like and what the fonts are and what the proportions are and where the sign should be, um, put a fixed and all of this kind of stuff.

00:08:52

And it turns out that this particular, um, it hasn't been street legal for over 15 years. It's actually been, uh, superseded by this particular sign. You can see it, there are 11, California has been superseded by . Um, okay, sure. Right. Turn only, but something else seemed weird. You'll notice that these arrows going into this parking lot in this parking lot is the daily city department of motor vehicles, by the way. Um, it also says right turn only on the street, the arrows there. So is that sign referring to the parking lot or what, who owns the sign? Maintenance was another question. The picture on the right, uh, was taken about six months later in the dark. And you'll notice the S the sign is even more obscured on the left of the day out. It was obscured somewhat by the tree. So whom is responsible for making sure that we can see that sign.

00:09:37

Finally, you'll see the markings on the pavement. Uh, somebody who seemed to have painted a right turn, only arrow, but then it was painted over with a just go forward arrow. And there's no double yellow lines on the road that would indicate that you actually can't cross across the lane there. So what are some takeaways? Well, in the context of an incident, um, when you, uh, roll up on scene, things may not be look as, as what they appear to be. Um, the officer and I both had different views of reality, and neither of them was in fact fully correct. Um, when conducting an incident analysis, how close you actually do that analysis to the incident actually matters? Um, I, I, if I hadn't returned, uh, later in the day, about two hours after I got the ticket and taken all of those photos, um, I probably wouldn't have had a strong data to make a case that there's some weirdness going around, we'll have how the signs are.

00:10:26

And finally, I love this quote from Dr. Decker. Uh, if it made sense to one practitioner, it's probably gonna make sense to other practitioners, too. Of course, when I went back, I saw all sorts of people turning left out of that intersection. So day of go to traffic court, uh, my case that day was the only case a judge did not make a ruling on. Um, she actually said, I need to take this case under advisement. And I was like, I don't know what that means. Like, did I win when I, I don't know. Uh, but it turns out boom, uh, found not guilty. Um, and, uh, didn't have to pay that ticket. So practice those incident analysis skills, because you'll be surprised where they come in handy. Uh, my name is J Paul Reed Ajay portrayed on Twitter.

00:11:08

I think today's program is about as amazing as we've ever done here at DevOps enterprise. And believe it or not, I think day two will be as good or maybe even better in the morning. We'll have Patrick Eldridge and Janet Chapman from nationwide building society. We'll have Andrea Houseman and Duncan. Lowie from credit Suisse and Scott Pruitt from CSG in the afternoon. We'll have David Silverman, coauthor of team of teams and John Willis from red hat. I'll be in the networking sessions tonight in the slack channels and in all the various networking formats. So I look forward to seeing you all there, and I am looking forward to seeing you all for a great sprit day of programming and day two. Thank you so much.

00:11:46

It's the end of an amazing first day of the DevOps enterprise summit. And the great thing about it is it's not over stay tuned for more opportunities to connect, share, and learn with each other. Now you probably attended some great sessions today. Well, we want to hear about that. Please enter your feedback for the sessions that you did attend. That feedback is really valuable to the speakers and the programming committee feedback as a gift sharing is caring. So go to the website and enter your feedback reminder that we have the session slides and the videos available. The videos of the keynote keynote talks are available after they air, which means that all of the keynotes for today are already available. And the videos of all the breakout talks over all three days are also available. Now, the slides are available for download both on Dropbox and on get hub.

00:12:39

And just because we're not together in person doesn't mean we can't have a happy hour. Yep. We have a happy hour navigate to network and the top level menu to get more information about how you can connect with attendees sponsors and it revolution authors. Some of the it revolution authors are hosting and ask me anything session. We have hosted tables and a general happy hour, thanks to our sponsors who are serving as table hosts tonight. As I mentioned, some of the it revolution authors of some of our favorite books are having an ask me anything session, check out the general slack channel to see which authors are doing that. And then one final parting thought a lesson that we have to learn from doughnuts and croissants. Yeah. Hear me out. So imagine you're at the virtual happy hour and you're engaged in the discussion. You've got a drink in hand maybe. And you're talking with the group about the day and a new person joins that discussion. Well, how does your group feel? Does it feel kinda closed off and unwelcoming of new conversation closed off like a donut or is it like a croissant more open and welcoming of new people and new topics and new contributions? So the lesson that I want to leave you with as we go into the happy hour is don't be a donut. All right. With that have fun at the happy hour.
