\nBy utilizing the Checkmk Ansible Collection \, administrators can effortlessly automate their monitoring environment\, leveraging the inherent efficiency of Ansible.
\nThis Ansible collectio n is the result of collaborative efforts from a group of community members who shared a common goal—to seamlessly integrate Checkmk with Ansible. We are proud to say that this project has now evolved into a valuable tool for streamlined monitoring processes.
\nIn this session\, we will take you through the developmental journey of this integration. We will demonst rate how you can effectively harness the capabilities of Ansible to enhanc e monitoring convenience and optimize your overall workflow.

We can start by looking at the difficulties everyone encounters\, such as managing the complex and constantly changing services\, integrating IaC with existing systems\, and ensuring everything stays secure and within budget.\nFor beg inners\, the journey is even tougher. They have to learn IaC basics\, get skilled with tools like AWS CloudFormation\, Terraform\, Pulumi\, or CDK\, and understand how to apply best practices in their work. This includes f iguring out how to spot and fix problems in their IaC scripts and how to s hift existing setups to IaC.\nA big part of our focus is on the importance of testing. Making sure that the infrastructure works well with every new update and passes all the tests in CI pipelines is crucial. This brings u s to the question\, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a tool that makes al l this easier?”\nThis is where LocalStack\, an open-source tool designed to address these very challenges\, comes in. LocalStack lets users emulat e specific cloud services in a container\, providing a safe space to test and try out new things. We'll discuss how it works with different IaC tool s and pinpoint the advantages of such a practice.\nWe’ll wrap up with a demo showing how to use LocalStack to deploy a project both on a real clou d provider\, AWS\, and locally\, highlighting how LocalStack simplifies th e IaC feedback loops\, making it easier\, more secure\, and cost-effective .

I will present a new sche me that uses a standard implementation of mTLS. Although salt is supremel y modular\, the crypto backend was never made pluggable. The builtin cryp to implementation is spread across several source files and is closely int erconnected with both the ZeroMQ and TCP transports. Rather than insert a new crypto backend alongside the existing crypto implementation at each p oint across the several files\, the new crypto backend uses a new\, simple r design\, mainly because mTLS can be used out of the box in contrast to c ustom RSA key management\, trust on first use\, static auth token seed (fo r reals)\, etc. Because of the close mixing of transport and crypto code\ , the opportunity was taken to introduce WebSockets as a new transport as well. Great\, so what about post quantum crypto? Since the mTLS backend is not implemented in the source code\, crypto algorithms and primitives\, including those certified for PQC\, FIPS\, etc. can now be easily swapped in with no change to the user code.

So h ow can we bring the ease and speed of unit tests into these integration te sts? Ideally\, we’d like to use a local setup where we can quickly spin up and deploy our services in an emulated environment that’s as close as possible to the real deal. By simulating real-world scenarios and testing the integration of various parts of the system\, these tests help us iden tify and resolve issues early in the development process. This is where Te stcontainers and LocalStack work beautifully together to bring you the bes t of integration tests and cloud services on your machine.

However\, managing and orchestrating resources across these d iverse environments presents a complex challenge\, particularly when it co mes to maintaining consistency\, ensuring security\, and automating routin e operations.\n\nAnsible\, known for its simplicity and ease of use in aut omation\, plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges. Its latest advancement\, Event-Driven Ansible\, opens new avenues for managing hybrid cloud environments more effectively. This innovative approach allows for real-time\, responsive automation based on events occurring across the hyb rid cloud infrastructure.\n\nIn this session\, we will delve into the prac tical applications of Event-Driven Ansible in a hybrid cloud setting.

But they are often either one-size-fits-all\, or they can audit but not remediate\ , or they cannot be consolidated over all the IT. \nIn this talk\, I will present how we implemented a CIS Server benchmarks on an existing infrastr ucture using Rudder.

These operators leverage the power of Custom Resources and Controllers to automate tasks traditionally performed by human operato rs\, thus streamlining the entire application lifecycle.\n\nIn this engagi ng and hands-on talk\, we will demystify the process of creating a Kuberne tes Operator. While the prospect of developing one may appear intimidating \, the underlying concepts are surprisingly straightforward: define Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to model your application's key concepts\, an d craft Controllers\, which are specialized pods responsible for monitorin g and taking action on specific resources in the cluster.\n\nBut we're not stopping at theory! Writing an Operator doesn't have to be a dry affair. To make it more enjoyable\, we've chosen an original use case filled with hand-drawn Gophers\, and we'll livecode it right before your eyes to showc ase its simplicity.
