Carl Perry
Carl is has been part of the DevOps community for a long time (too long?), and I love sharing information and experiences with this community. When I'm not talking at DevOps Days, I run the Austin RISC-V Group, and I'm an organizer for the Works with RISC-V project. I'm also a RISC-V Ambassador, and do a lot of DevSecFinOps for my day job, and a lot of self-hosting outside of my day job.
Session
Everyone wants double digit year over year growth in revenue at the same time also wanting double digit percentage reduction of their cloud spend. It seems impossible, but I've done it multiple times for multiple companies. It's not easy, it can be undone by one engineer (or director) overnight, and it requires lot of Aikido with management. I want to go over how you can re-frame success and still get costs to go down without slowing everything down with Infrastructure As Code and billing approvals.
