By turning your reactive work into code that’s been written and deployed you’re making on-call boring. Here’s why boredom can be a good thing. Learn how to make operations consistent and make engineering focused on improvement rather than putting out operational fires.

Join us on Twitter/Periscope @TheNewStack and YouTube for this LIVE discussion with Leonid Belkind, Co-Founder and CTO of StackPulse and Madhura Maskasky, Co-Founder and VP of Product at Platform9, and bring your questions!

Madhura Maskasky leads Product Management at Platform9. Before co-founding Platform9, Madhura spent 7 years at VMware Engineering, where she grew to be technical lead for several key products including vCloud Director, Update Manager and ConfigControl. Madhura helped spearhead vSphere’s transformation into a policy driven product suite, working broadly across groups to pull together the vision. Madhura holds a M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, specializing in databases and distributed systems. When she isn’t sweating the details on product, Madhura can be found rock-climbing, swing dancing and exploring San Francisco.

Leonid Belkind is a Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at StackPulse, a Site Reliability Engineering orchestration platform. Prior to StackPulse, Leonid co-founded (and was CTO of) Luminate Security, a pioneer in Zero Trust Network Access and Secure Access Services Edge. At Luminate, Leonid guided this enterprise-grade service from inception, to Fortune 500 adoption to acquisition by Symantec. Before Luminate, Leonid managed engineering organizations at CheckPoint Software Technologies that delivered enterprise firewalls and other network, endpoint and data security products.

Through his career, Leonid has witnessed the modern Software Engineering practices come and replace the traditional ones, first around Continuous Integration and Delivery pipelines, then Infrastructure Management and Monitoring, and onwards as software services have replaced on-premise products. Throughout this journey Leonid has become passionate about building reliability-first architectures, methodologies and organizational culture.
