Resiliency in a service provider world (sponsored by NS1)

Today we depend upon service providers (for storage, compute, network, DNS, CDN, and much more) to build and deliver our applications. Even when the most sophisticated service providers on the internet failand they doits still possible to build resilient applications. Kristopher Beevers explores how ops teams and developers are thinking about resiliency in a service provider world.

Recently, we’ve seen a number of major operational and security incidents affecting large service providers—and through them, huge chunks of the internet. These highly visible events, along with many less publicized ones, have brought renewed attention to best practices for resiliency, but what does resiliency mean when service providers are critical-path components of nearly every application? How should application architectures and incident management processes change (or not)? Should we rethink the place of service providers in our applications in light of these incidents? Kristopher Beevers explores how ops teams and developers are thinking about resiliency in a service provider world. This keynote is sponsored by NS1.
