Keynote - More than two decades in shell and ops
summary
Describes a cloud deployment engine that initially succeeds only about 80% success rate in the wild because package servers and concurrency cause flaky failures and DDOS throttling. Shows that making scripts idempotent and wrapping them in a simple idempotency loop raises reliability to effectively 100%. Demonstrates moving from imperative scripts to intent-based deployments via declarative configs and CI/CD, experiments with copilot for generating configs and summarizing incidents, and tries PowerShell on multiple runtimes including WebAssembly.
