+Services are the backbone of our systems. They are the pieces that make up our businesses—whether they are literal microservices or functional components of a traditional application, we can’t do the computer thing without services.
+
+When it comes to a service in your company or organization, who’s responsible for it? The cast of characters involved in the lifecycle of a service is more than just software engineers. It can include program managers, product owners, sustainability teams (SREs/operations engineers), and business stakeholders, just to name a few.
+
+Topics covered in this talk include: – Defining what a service means to you and your organization – Roles in service ownership – What are you observing about your service? – How you want a team to respond to a service outage or incident – Managing your service in production – Tuning your service – Understanding how the service impacts the business.

+I joined the UK based teams a year ago as their line manager. Throughout the year I learnt a lot and had to solve many difficulties related to my remote setting, language, a slightly different negotiation style and much more. On top of that, I must have changed my daily regime to align with the remote site and e.g. I would have never thought that even one hour time difference might cause some hard to solve troubles. I would like to share my experience with the audience and ignite “off the scene” talks on this topic as I do believe there are many people considering the same that might be curious or others having similar experiences so that I’m keen to listen to their story.

+
+Kubernetes is often considered as the tool to tackle large scale traffic, which is supposed to be used by a big team of engineers. This talk presents an opposite approach which shows how Kubernetes can be used in a very small team with limited resources.
+
+It will explore the benefits of running k8s in a small scale and also what pitfalls come with it. It will walk through the steps of provisioning self hosted Kubernetes cluster - kOps - challenges of keeping clusters upgraded without downtime. It will discuss issues encountered in daily operations, applications taking too long to start up anyone, and then how it was tuned with tools like Goldilocks, which uses VPA. It will delve into CI/CD on Kubernetes (using Jenkins and ArgoCD). Keeping an eye on operational costs is essential in a small environment and this talk will discuss how kOps can utlize spot instances everywhere and benefits/challenges with spot instances. The idea of downscaling on schedule with py-kube-downscaler project will be discussed.

+At TIER Mobility, we successfully reduced our cloud expenses by over 60% in less than two years. While this was a significant achievement, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. In this presentation, I’ll share insights into the potential pitfalls of cost reduction strategies that might end up being more expensive in the long run.

+I started as an IT passionate guy living all days in a dark terminal. A couple of years later I realised that I’m more happy talking to people and helping them to succeed. So I decided to breakout from my cozy and well equipped dark terminal and started learning leadership which has shifted my carrier towards being responsible for people and projects. Several years later, I still do think this was right decision. Being a leader is a huge challenge and still so many things to learn.
+
+My motto: I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening (Larry King).
