ARTTECH: KALLE SIRKESALO (EFICODE) DECADE OF UPS AND DOWNS IN GITHUB ENTERPRISE SERVICES MANAGEMENT

Kalle works as CTO of Managed Services, making sure Eficode delivers the best possible offering for our service customers. Having worked in the Eficode Managed Services team for many years his experience is wide and deep; he is familiar with maintenance, upgrades and migrations of services to cloud as well as the challenges related to adopting new ways of working.

In this talk I tell you about real life experiences of upkeep, maintenance, support and service for Github Enterprise Server. We got our first Github Enterprise Server customer almost a decade ago and it has been a ride. During this time we have seen the ups and downs of managing and running these services. The goal of this talk is to tell real life stories of situations we have ended up in, successes and failures. How did taking Github Actions into action go on the first time? How do you fix a blackbox at 2 am? What happens when your vm snapshot takes 2 days to finish? And a lot more. How do I move a Github Enterprise Server from On-premise datacenter to Azure and what does it entail?
