SREcon17 Europe/Middle East/Africa - Incident Command at the Edge

Lisa Phillips, Fastly

As a content delivery network, Fastly operates an edge environment for many large scale web properties and APIs. In order to deal with emerging threats to its network, Fastly needed to develop processes that allowed it to respond effectively to availability and security incidents at scale. The network engineering, SRE, and security teams at Fastly leverage a protocol called “Incident Command” to rapidly engage various teams across the company, and make sure customer properties are protected. Let the Fastly VP of SRE take you to the far side of the edge, and learn more about the challenges a large global network faces and the protocols that we found helped for us.
