I’m giving a talk at the Web2.0Expo on Wednesday called “Failures, Disasters, & Resilient Design“. I’ll be using some of the lessons-learned from our deployment and how they apply to managing technology.

Failures, Disasters, & Resilient Design
(Click here for ExpoCal!)

Jesse Robbins, ex-Amazon, OpenAid

Track: Web Operations
Date: Wednesday, April 18
Time: 4:30pm - 5:20pm
Location: 2008

This talk reviews real world examples of complex systems failure and how they relate to Web 2.0. Drawing on his work as the “Master of Disaster” at Amazon and using examples from Nuclear Power to his own experiences after Hurricane Katrina, Jesse will provide:

• A methodology for managing risk with Web 2.0 technologies.
• Best practices for building Resilient Systems with Web Services & Web Scale Computing
• Stories and pictures of things blowing up!

Here’s the full-version of one of my slides:
