Thirty years ago, when a credit card reader went down, companies could switch to carbon-copy backup. Today the card reader is integrated with the cash register, and when it fails, sales go to zero.

But what actually happened? And is it relevant to your organization? And what can you do differently? Buckle your seatbelt for a quick ride to learn about CrowdStrike, from DevOps to Windows to Security -- and beyond.

| Breaking things on purpose: achieving resilience through chaos engineering |
Agility has brought us iterative software development, independent feature teams, nimble architectures and distributed, scalable infrastructure.

In this session we explore GameDays, a collaborative exercise where teams safely introduce chaos into their systems, in order to make them better.
