LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Daniel Klein is a Site Reliability Engineer at Google Pittsburgh, where his job is to look for trouble before it happens. When he's not doing that, he gives talks, teaches engineering and soft-topics classes, mentors Nooglers, and makes trouble. Occasionally, he sleeps.

Daniel has written a LISA booklet on Monitoring, and has given dozens of invited talks around the world. He promises that you'll enjoy this talk *and* learn some useful stuff, too!
