Shift-Left by using Automation

During this talk Leo Visser will share his experience in using automation to shift left tasks done in an IT environment. Many organizations want to automate everything but when making plans often things get to big very quickly and before you know it there is a project doomed to fail from the start. During this talk Leo will explain how OGD managed to automate a lot of very common tedious jobs for the Red Cross without this becoming a project to big to manage. By using techniques from Agile and DevOps and good architectural practices the project was streamline and transformed to a continues optimization cycle which still works now. This talk will show these techniques and gives you tools to improve your own workflows no matter if they are big or small.

Enhance your IAM by looking at Identity through a wider lens

When talking about identity in a IT context people often think about their username and password. More security focused people might consider other ways of authentication to be included with this. But what about the card you use to access the building? Or the contracts you sign? Aren’t those also linked to your Identity? Using data from multiple systems via linkage can enhance your identity and access management (IAM). At the same time you can use this information to automate some of the more boring work in IAM. During this talk I will go over some situations I’ve encountered when working with Identity and how more value was created by linking the different systems together. If you want to learn how to get started with enhancing your identity join me in this talk!

When writing PowerShell code it’s easy to make small mistakes. For example, renaming a variable but forgetting one occurrence, or using an unapproved verb in a function name. To combat these errors there is a tool called PSScriptAnalyzer which can do a lot of the code quality checks for you. But in the day and age of collaboration and continuous deployment it’s not good enough anymore to just run this utility separate. In this talk Leo Visser will show you how you can use the testing framework Pester to have these code quality checks be integrated in your tests. Besides the basics the talk will also cover how to exempt some files from some rules and how to manage this.
