Panel Talk – YOLO Ops: Love Going Fast. Hate Breaking Things
Kiley Davidson – Elastic
Talk – Good, Fast, and Cheap: Using the Elastic Stack for Fleet Observability (or: How I Found A Unicorn In A Week)
You can’t always control external factors (vendors, budgets, company politics) but you can come out looking like a hero by using free, open source tools (like the Elastic Stack) to collect analytics and behavior data from your fleet, letting you spot fires before they become conflagrations, or just answer the question “Why is my Mac so slow?”
Kiley would be a crazy cat lady, if random interests and hobbies were cats. As it is she only has two cats, a dog, and a wife. During the week she’s an IT Systems Engineer at Elastic, responsible for managing the entire client computing fleet plus a whole kerfuffle of apps and tools. On weekends she installs disaster communications infrastructure around San Francisco for sfwem.net, and stays up too late reading.

“Configuration management is dead!” they say. MacDevOpsYVR 2019 had a tremendous impact on my IT career and my perception of where our field is heading. I apply what I learned from MacDevOpsYVR to my place of work and during this session, we will walk through what it’s like to automate a configuration tool out of existence. Pour one out for SCCM.
