Abstract
Maintaining up-to-date and secure software across a polyglot fleet is a challenge for any engineering organization. Manual migrations and urgent updates disrupt productivity and require coordination across many teams. Often, these migrations take months or longer to accomplish, leaving the fleet vulnerable or forcing platform teams to maintain multiple software versions throughout the course of the migration. In this talk, I’ll share our ongoing journey to automate fleetwide changes in one week or less. This presentation will focus on:
- How to think about safely orchestrating changes at scale
- Designing automation for a diverse software ecosystem
- Challenges we face as we work to reach our goal
