Order of the Day

Most presentations are streamed live on this page, at TechFieldDay.com, and at some delegate and presenter web sites. After the event, the following pages contain video recordings of these presentations.

08:45 Welcome and Introductions
Featuring: Omar Sultan, Stephen Foskett
09:00 Atlas Telemetry: A Platform Begets an Ecosystem
Featuring: Matthew Johnson

What is necessary to deploy and maintain a reliable telemetry platform in the public cloud?  Learn about the tools and techniques the Insight Engineering Team uses to keep Atlas running smoothly in AWS.

When you have a telemetry platform that can deliver answers as fast as you can think of questions, how will you use it?  Learn about the tools that allow teams to transform Atlas telemetry into insights that improve the reliability of Netflix.

10:00 Open Discussion on Infrastructure Management
Featuring: Matt Oswalt

In this session, we’ll have a candid, open discussion about current challenges with modern infrastructure management and monitoring, and how we as an industry can collaborate to improve this area.

11:00 Anees Shaikh Presents on Open Network Management
Featuring: Anees Shaikh

Network management and monitoring is at the heart of nearly all network operations, and yet the methodologies and technology used in this critical area are lagging far behind.  Despite the growing adoption of SDN and open networking, core elements of network management remain relegated to proprietary, arcane interfaces (e.g., CLIs) and inflexible legacy protocols (e.g., SNMP).  In this talk, we describe OpenConfig, a group of global-scale network operators working to develop open, vendor-neutral APIs for configuration and network monitoring.  Native support for OpenConfig APIs are now being developed by major networking vendors to support programmatic configuration and telemetry.  This is the first industry-wide initiative driving an open, software defined, and declarative network management plane that allows programmatic operation of physical and virtual networks across the OSI stack. Presented by Anees Shaikh of Google.

13:00 Modern Telemetry: Why Analytics Are the Keystone to Monitoring
Featuring: Phillip Liu

From Facebook to Yahoo to Yelp and more–we’ve found over and over again that monitoring modern applications and infrastructure is an analytics problem.

We’ll look at:

  • How telemetry and monitoring have evolved over the last two decades and how we got to where we are today
  • How SignalFx is built and works
  • How this can be applied to networking in real life
14:00 Kumar Reddy Presents Cisco Network Telemetry
Featuring: Kumar Reddy

Cisco believes that sophisticated, flexible instrumentation and support for model-driven APIs and modern telemetry protocols will be table stakes for infrastructure in the very near future as automation and analytics become central tenets of infrastructure management. This session will explore how Cisco is integrating these capabilities into its network operating systems. The session includes demos to help connect the dots on yang model support as well as why telemetry will become an invaluable tool for infrastructure management. Kumar Reddy of Cisco presents.

15:00 Data Field Day Delegate Roundtable
