No Drama: Config Management at Million core scale
2025-02-03, 14:50–15:40, Kube (B.3.032)

Getting to multi mllion cores of managed infrastructure, with no drama. Stories from the trenches of how Red Hat scales our managed OpenShift services in hybrid cloud with Automation and Config Management. And Automation that manages Automation. And automation that manages automation that manages automation.


The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Management group builds and runs a large fleet of OpenShift clusters delivered as a fully managed offering across AWS, Azure and GCP. Building this service, with a view to maximise customer value, with a small team forced us to think about automation from the ground up - and to think of it in terms of working in turn with an audience of operators. This talk will dive into lessons we learnt and stories of how we learnt them, while building a service for SRE's and DevSecOps and Developers around the world.

I enjoy working on global scale, hybrid cloud workload challenges. With nearly 30 years of experience in the connected operations space spanning from small to medium to some of the largest enterprise infrastructure in the world, a strong believer in automation and a long time supporter of the config management, IaaS mindset.
