##We are accepting talks on the following topics: Monitoring, logging and alerting -- running small-scale and large-scale systems Automating infrastructure management: tooling and architecture Infrastructure as code expand

##We are accepting talks on the following topics:

  1. Monitoring, logging and alerting -- running small-scale and large-scale systems
  2. Automating infrastructure management: tooling and architecture
  3. Infrastructure as code
  4. Network management, network security and network engineering
  5. Architecting for the cloud

##Types and duration of talks:

  1. Full talks: 40 mins duration including Q&A
  2. Crisp talks: 20 mins duration including Q&A
  3. Birds of Feather (BOF) sessions of 1 hour duration
  4. Hands-on workshops, of 3-6 hour duration.

You can also suggest a topic for someone else to speak/teach a workshop. If we find a speaker/trainer for the topic you proposed, we will send you a Rootconf t-shirt.

##Participant profiles at Rootconf Delhi include:

  1. Operations engineers
  2. DevOps programmers
  3. Software developers
  4. SRE
  5. Tech leads

This profile will help you to understand who will be the audience for your talk, and therefore, how you should structure you talk and takeaways.

##We don’t accept:

  1. How-to and introductory-level talks.
  2. Tooling talks without a clear problem statement. Instead, tell us what problems the tool solves for you, and why you advocate community members to use the tool.
  3. Proposals where source code is closed or where you cannot reveal code and implementation details.

##Guidelines for submitting proposals for Rootconf Delhi:

  1. Write the proposal in gender neutral language. Use the words ‘they/them’ instead of ‘he/she’.
  2. Explain the problem you are solving when submitting a proposal. We give weightage to novelty of problems and problem-solving approaches.
  3. Focus on narrowing down what the audience will learn from your talk. The best way to do this is by putting yourself in the audience’s shoes: what do you want to learn (that will make you a better practitioner) if you were in the audience listening to your own talk?
  4. Provide implementation details. But the implementation details -- code samples, architecture approach, etc -- in the context of the larger problem you are solving.
  5. Never lose sight of the problem!

Note that reviews will carried out on the proposal pages only, as comments. Proposers must check their proposals for new comments, and to respond to earlier comments.

Passes and honorarium for speakers:

We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to speakers. Confirmed speakers also get a pass to the conference and a discount code which they can share with their colleagues, communities they are part of, and on social media channels. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses. Please don’t ask us for this.

Travel grants for outstation speakers:

Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers based on the event’s budget. If you require a grant, mention it in the field where you add your location.

##Last date for submission is 30 November, 11:59 PM

If you have queries, write to rootconf.editorial@hasgeek.com

Please don't do this - a conversation on bad programming practices

As security analysts, we are often on the offensive side of things; trying to find out the universal contraints under which a system will say nothing by “Sorry” (not sponsored by Justin Beiber). However, as a software engineer, we are on the other side of Select City Walk, oftentimes confused as to how we landed there: the defence. It’s a constant battle of the fittest and the losing side loses (… more

Securing your Kubernetes cluster

Abstract Kubernetes is currently the most popular container orchestration engine of choice, but its security is debatable. There are some vulnerabilities that have already been discovered in Kubernetes and Docker. The question that arises is what are the potential risks of these vulnerabilities to the application/business, and how we can go about fixing these. more

Strongly consistent centralized Document Service with eventual consistent Search Store

Organizations with multiple teams generally end up with different applications that manage it’s own database interactions. This approach would be fine at a smaller scale but as we move forward towards a large scale, the situation will become more error-prone. Because now each application needs to either deploy experts in each team or build expertise to make the data available, consistent and usab… more

If you do CD on cloud, from day 1 your project is a maintenance project

Gone are the days when people used to think a project has distinct phases of development and maintenance. Even agile teams have a development window during which the processes are different from the ones followed after a first release. I have observed the most successful ones were the ones which treat every project as a maintenance project from day one. This means building security, monitoring, l… more
