Personnel: Michael Levan

Michael Levan demonstrated the Codiac Value-Driven Engineering Platform, focusing on simplifying the deployment and management of applications across Kubernetes clusters. Levan emphasized the challenges developers face when dealing with infrastructure and configuration management, particularly the repetitive nature of writing YAML or Infrastructure as Code (IAC) configurations. He highlighted how Codiac addresses these pain points by allowing users to deploy applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Through a drag-and-drop interface, users can deploy containerized applications, such as a Go web app, without needing to manually manage Kubernetes manifests or other complex configurations. The platform abstracts much of the infrastructure management, making it easier for developers to focus on their applications rather than the environment they are running in.

Levan also demonstrated how Codiac allows for dynamic configuration management across different environments, such as development, staging, and production. Users can easily adjust parameters like replica counts for different environments without needing to maintain multiple Kubernetes manifests or use tools like Helm or Kustomize. The platform provides a central configuration system that can be modified per environment or per “cabinet,” which Levan likened to a Linux namespace or a mini-environment. This flexibility allows for more efficient application management, as users can make changes to configurations and redeploy applications either through the graphical interface or via the command line interface.

Additionally, Levan introduced the concept of “snapshots” within Codiac, which allows users to capture the state of their application stacks and easily redeploy them across different environments or clusters. This feature is particularly useful for scenarios like blue-green or canary deployments, where different versions of an application need to be tested or rolled out incrementally. The platform also supports cluster migrations, enabling users to move applications between clusters with minimal effort. Codiac abstracts much of the complexity of managing Kubernetes clusters, allowing developers to treat clusters as ephemeral resources that can be easily replaced or upgraded without manual intervention. Overall, the platform aims to streamline the deployment process, reduce the need for manual configuration, and provide a more efficient way to manage applications across multiple environments.

Personnel: Mark Freydl

Mark Freydl, CEO and Co-Founder, introduces Codiac, a platform designed to streamline the build and release process for SREs and development teams by addressing the friction and complexity that often arise in modern DevOps workflows. The platform focuses on simplifying the communication and coordination between different team members involved in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). By providing a common language and intuitive interface, Codiac aims to reduce the manual overhead and miscommunication that can occur when managing infrastructure and deployments. The platform offers both a CLI and GUI, allowing users to interact with it in various ways, whether through a browser, console, or pipeline, ensuring that all team members, from developers to project managers, can understand and contribute to the process.

One of the key features of Codiac is its “build once, configure on deploy” approach, which allows teams to build a container once and then configure it dynamically as it moves through different environments, such as development, QA, and production. This eliminates the need for manual configuration changes and reduces the risk of errors during deployment. The platform also supports snapshot deployments, where multiple services can be deployed together as a collective version, ensuring consistency across environments. Additionally, Codiac automates tasks like ingress management and environment scaling, further reducing the burden on SREs and allowing them to focus on higher-level discussions around performance and utilization rather than getting bogged down in the minutiae of YAML files and configuration management.

The motivation behind Codiac stems from the founders’ frustration with the growing complexity of modern infrastructure and the inefficiencies it creates for development teams. They recognized that while tools like Kubernetes offer powerful capabilities, they also introduce significant overhead, making it difficult for teams to move quickly and efficiently. By abstracting away much of the complexity and providing a more user-friendly interface, Codiac enables teams to focus on delivering value to the business rather than getting stuck in the technical weeds. The platform is designed to be extensible and adaptable to different workflows, making it a valuable tool for organizations looking to improve their DevOps processes and reduce the friction that often accompanies large-scale software development.

Vimeo: How SOUTHWORKS Leverages Multi-Cloud Technologies
YouTube: How SOUTHWORKS Leverages Multi-Cloud Technologies

Personnel: Johnny Halife

In this presentation, Johnny Halife, CTO of SOUTHWORKS, discusses the company’s approach to leveraging multi-cloud technologies and the importance of being cloud-agnostic. He emphasizes that the cloud landscape is no longer about choosing between AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, but rather about integrating services across multiple providers to offer interoperability. SOUTHWORKS aims to build bridges between different cloud platforms, allowing clients to take advantage of the best offerings from each provider. This approach is driven by both technical and non-technical factors, such as market trends and business needs, which may require companies to switch cloud providers for reasons unrelated to the quality of the service itself. SOUTHWORKS positions itself as a partner that can work with all major cloud platforms, offering flexibility and resilience to its clients.

Halife also highlights the importance of understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each cloud provider. SOUTHWORKS maintains strong partnerships with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and its team is well-versed in the specific technologies and terminologies of each platform. This knowledge allows the company to advise clients on the best migration strategies and to help them navigate the complexities of moving between clouds. SOUTHWORKS prides itself on being transparent with its clients, offering them a range of options and ensuring that they are not locked into a single cloud provider. The company’s cloud-agnostic approach is a key part of its value proposition, enabling it to provide agile and flexible solutions that meet the evolving needs of its clients.

Finally, Halife touches on the role of Kubernetes in achieving cloud standardization, noting that while Kubernetes is a good starting point, it is not a complete solution. He explains that while containerization allows for some level of portability across clouds, there is still a need for more advanced tools and abstractions to fully take advantage of cloud-native services. SOUTHWORKS is actively involved in contributing to open-source projects that aim to fill these gaps, such as Terraform and Carpenter. The company’s commitment to multi-cloud solutions is reflected in its day-to-day operations and its development philosophy, which focuses on providing short-term, hands-on support to help clients achieve their goals quickly and efficiently.

Personnel: Johnny Halife

In this presentation, Johnny Halife, CTO of SOUTHWORKS, discusses the company’s approach to cloud migrations and multi-cloud scenarios, focusing on how they help clients transition from traditional infrastructure to SaaS models. One of the key examples he provides is a customer who initially deployed VMs on customer subscriptions but wanted to shift to a SaaS model to reduce infrastructure costs and management overhead. SOUTHWORKS helped by containerizing workloads, leveraging Kubernetes, and using tools like Crossplane and Argo to manage multi-tenancy and compliance. The project was completed in nine months with three squads, allowing the customer to accelerate their time to market and reskill their workforce in cloud-agnostic technologies like Kubernetes, rather than being tied to specific cloud providers.

Another case involved a large-scale migration and modernization project for a company with 250 accounts and 100 teams across five regions. The company had acquired multiple businesses without integrating their technologies, leading to a complex infrastructure spread across various cloud providers. SOUTHWORKS created a blueprint using Terraform to streamline operations, prioritize managed resources, and ensure zero downtime during the migration. They also implemented a virtual network that connected data centers globally, allowing for seamless workload movement and high availability. The project took 14 months and involved 15 SOUTHWORKS engineers working alongside 30 client engineers, with a focus on creating a unified security and deployment strategy across the organization.

Throughout the presentation, Halife emphasizes the importance of flexibility, cloud-agnostic design, and the ability to scale rapidly. He discusses how SOUTHWORKS helps clients balance the use of advanced cloud services while maintaining the flexibility to move between providers. By creating abstraction layers and leveraging open-source tools, SOUTHWORKS enables clients to tap into the best features of each cloud provider without being locked in. Halife also highlights the importance of teaching clients to “fish” by integrating their teams into the process, ensuring they can maintain and evolve their infrastructure independently after the engagement.
