A

Some orchestration and some choreography, which is nice. It brings together the advantages of the two approaches, but it also combines some of the disadvantages. So you get.

A

You get both both words and so to summarize, how what what do we need then, to work well with this combined architecture of orchestration and choreography?

A

Well, ideally, we want to have interoperability between between the tools and events can help us there, both in the orchestration scenario as well as for choreography, but in all the cases that we've seen one common thing that emerges that we would really need a common language, so, whether we use orchestration, whether we use choreography or a combination of them all the components there, whether it's the orchestrator or where are the tools that are reading all the events for giving you the status of your workflow, would benefit from having a common language for your events,.

A

And so these are the kind of challenges that we are trying to tackle with the cd event project, so cd event project is a project was started by the events special interest group, which is an interest group within the continuous delivery foundation, and it's an incubated project in the cdf as well, and so what we are doing is we are developing a specification.

A

It's like a dictionary that provides common semantics for events across the entire ecosystem, so I would say continuous delivery space, but also it goes. We aim to cover areas like managing incidents in production, so if you want to be able to to measure the entire spectrum, so today we are working on on the specification and the way that we do. That is through proof of concept.

A

So we develop the specification to a certain stage, and then we develop the proofs of concept using tools from the community to make sure that the work that we are doing, the specification that we are writing is actually solving the use cases that we want to address.

A

So it's an iterative work. We go for different versions of the specification and develop new proofs of concepts, and to do that, we also we're also working on sdks with different programming languages. So far we implemented the go as the case. We started working on a java one and we plan.

B

To implement a python one as well.

A

So these sdks are critical for implementing zen cd events and different tools so that they can, they may emit and receive cd events and allow us to build the proof of concepts and also to make cd events successful.

A

Yeah, so another um key objective uh for us for the for our project is to foster an ecosystem of tools that can be used to facilitate or make it easier to build, orchestrated or choreographed architecture.

A

What I'm referring to is a tool, for instance, that may listen to cd events and allow to take decisions like rule based decisions and policy-based decision on city events to start new part of your workflow based on incoming city events or tools. That may be able to read cd events from different components and display the overall workflow or automatically, or let you easily calculate, develop metrics based on the events that were generated by all the tools across the the workflow.

A

And yeah, so that's um everything that I wanted to briefly introduce today uh and let's now hear from the community from the continuous delivery community.

C

Okay, thank you very much, andrea and now, when the next speaker comes up and prepares his laptop, so we don't get too much technical overlap. Please come up. Are there any questions to andrea after these keynotes?

C

Please raise your hand here in the audience, and I will come to you with a microphone or, if you have anyone online who wants to put the question to andrea.

C

No crystal clear message: perfect: yes,.

B

What are projects already support cd events.

A

City events yeah, so we started working with a few projects.

B

uh We're working with a tech.

A

B

Project to uh produce cd.

A

Events and the way tectonic structure that trigger component allows you to.

B

A

B

Incoming events, so that's supposed to be then out of the box kind of supports city events. We've also been working with the kaplan community and.

A

With the jenkins community.

B

And recently, more recently as well, the canadian team started working on integrating city events for.

C

Their operational.

B

Publicity service, meaning support.

C

Good, thank you. So I've got no more questions from the audience. Then I.

B

Guess we can introduce.

C

The next speeches, thank you.
