How to automate DevOps tasks without coding with "No-Code platforms"

We'll demonstrate how we automated repository provisioning, CI/CD pipelines, documentation management, and service monitoring. The solution we chose, N8N - seamlessly integrates withGitLab, Confluence, JIRA, and other tools.
We'll highlight the key benefits, cost savings, and tangible impact on team efficiency. This approach proves that properly implemented automation is not just a process improvement – it’s a game-changer in the world of DevOps.

Linux Security in Enterprise Environment

This session explores security automation, focusing on the use of Ansible Playbooks for implementing CIS benchmarks and OpenSCAP for compliance scanning and reporting. We will also discuss TPM2-based LUKS encryption, detailing the integration of TPM for automated disk unlocking while ensuring strong kernel security.
Beyond the technical solutions, we will share real-world challenges, including compatibility issues across Linux distributions, conflicts with VPN clients, and the impact of swap misconfiguration on system stability. Through these experiences, we will highlight how automation has improved security compliance, streamlined management, and significantly reduced deployment times while maintaining an optimal user experience.
Join us to learn how to balance security, automation, and usability effectively.

Review process?

There is no way you can bribe us! We will review every single session and decide whether it might be interesting for the audience, and fit the overall program.
