OOPS!... It's An Incident Again

🎵 "I played with the prod, got lost in the logs, oh, baby, baby..." 🎵 A "Humans in the Loop" Happy Hour with AWS, PagerDuty, Elastic, Uptime Labs & YugabyteDB! Join us for a mid-KubeCon break that proves you’re not that innocent: sometimes, it really is the human element that breaks (and fixes) the build. We’re taking over Amsterdam for an evening dedicated to the unsung heroes of the stack: The Humans in the Loop. While our systems get more complex, the role of the human in incident response has never been more critical. Come trade your real-time operations stories, share your best "oops" moments, and learn how to keep the "human" in your high-availability architecture. What to expect: 🎤 Lightning Keynotes from PagerDuty, Elastic, Uptime Labs & YugabyteDB on why automation is great, but humans are essential🍻 Sip & Savour: Delicious local bites and refreshing drinks to fuel you through the rest of KubeCon week🤝 The OOPs Group: Connect with the "Outage and Incident Management" community, because misery loves company, but resilience loves a party. RSVP now before we reach capacity!
