From CDEvents To Actions: Designing the Workflow Conductor - Dadisi Sanyika & Ben Powell, Apple

Wednesday June 25, 2025 11:00am - 11:20am MDT

Bluebird Ballroom 3B

The CDEvents specification has been around for some time but what are "we" doing with it? This talk peels back the layers of our journey from CDEvents to the engineering design of a "Workflow Conductor". We will examine how specific events can be translated into actionable steps, enabling the Workflow Conductor to manage and coordinate diverse CI/CD tools. The focus will be on how the declaration of intent is tracked across tools, maintaining a consistent and auditable process. Join us to discover the technical underpinnings of this system and learn how it can transform your software delivery pipeline.

What if you got a second chance to build an Event Driven Provenance service? In this talk I will cover the decision to start over, rewrite, and Open Source the Event Driven system we built in house. In the process of covering the things we changed and the things we kept I tell a few war stories. Add in what needed to be improved and what we left behind. I will talk about our involvement in the CD Foundation and how the new system can leverage CDEvents and help with SBOM storage and retrieval.

Navigating Compliance: What Developers Can Learn From Driving - Kadi McKean & Charlie Jones, ReversingLabs

Wednesday June 25, 2025 11:55am - 12:15pm MDT

Bluebird Ballroom 3B

When driving on a highway, you have to follow the rules of the road—some apply to everyone, while others only apply to commercial drivers. Open source maintainers and software publishers face a similar divide regarding regulatory compliance.

While software manufacturers must meet extensive legal and security obligations, open source maintainers often assume these regulations do not apply directly to them—but do they? In this talk, we’ll separate fact from fiction by breaking down what rules like the EU Cyber Resilience Act require from maintainers versus software vendors.

We’ll explore the limited enforceable obligations for open source projects, including secure development policies and vulnerability reporting, and discuss when (if ever) these rules impact maintainers. By understanding these distinctions, open source contributors can make informed decisions about risk, responsibility, and collaboration with commercial software teams—without unnecessary compliance burdens.

Managing Resources To Lower Costs - Mark Waite, CloudBees & Melissa McKay, JFrog

Wednesday June 25, 2025 2:10pm - 2:30pm MDT

Bluebird Ballroom 3B

Do you have a closet that’s overflowing? In order to accommodate your favorite latest wardrobe styles (and to avoid a closet clutter disaster), you might need to let go of those jeans two sizes too small or… gasp! … prune your conference t-shirt collection to a reasonable number.

In the CI/CD world, cleaning out your closet translates in part to activities like pruning artifact repos and limiting bandwidth usage appropriately. Businesses are incessantly looking for ways to trim the fat for leaner, healthier bottom lines, and DevOps operational infrastructure can be a clutter hotspot when it comes to resource expense.

Learn how the Jenkins project has reduced costs with more effective management of its operational resources. We’ll share techniques that we’ve used to identify costs, reallocate resources to reduce those costs, and adapt to changing environments. The Jenkins closet is looking better than ever!

"The Missing Role: Why Platform Teams Need Design Leadership” - Luis Queral, The New York Times

Wednesday June 25, 2025 2:30pm - 2:50pm MDT

Bluebird Ballroom 3B

When you think about the role of "design" on an infrastructure team, it's common to think about slicker interfaces or nicer branding. While that might be true, the impact of design-thinking can go far deeper.

In this talk, we'll walk through an unlikely collaboration between our platform engineers and product designers and how this partnership has enabled deep, strategic change from the bottom up.

We'll talk about how we went from "building a technology" to "building a product", allowing us to both increase adoption to our platform and improve our overall product across a balanced mix of developer needs and business asks -- all without sacrificing platform reliability or quality.

We’ll also share tips on how to bring this kind of thinking to your platform team, with or without dedicated designers.
