Why Attend LISA?

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

LISA14 Attendee

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

Scalable Meatfrastructure: Building Stable DevOps Teams

Invited Talk
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 - 2:00pm-2:45pm

Alice Goldfuss, New Relic

When we think of scalable infrastructure, we think of technologies such as AWS, Kafka, or Mesos. But to operate these shiny things, you need people. Organized and resilient people.

You wouldn’t rollout containerization while your app has a memory leak, so you shouldn’t expand your DevOps team without addressing the leaks in your day-to-day communication and processes. Come learn some of the steps necessary to make your most important platform--your engineers--stable and successful.

Alice Goldfuss, New Relic

Alice Goldfuss is a Site Reliability Engineer at New Relic, where she spends her days wading through containers, comforting servers, and performing dark sacrifices to the network tier. You can find her on Twitter (@alicegoldfuss) ranting about feminism and posting pictures of spiders.
