I’m Álvaro Revuelta, a DevOps Engineer that works building cloud-native solutions. I have experience developing applications in containerized Kubernetes environments and streamline deployments with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions/Jenkins and ArgoCD. I love sharing knowledge as a public speaker and enjoy volunteering at a cat shelter in Stockholm. Let’s dive into container images, kubernetes and cloud-native practices together!

Enhancing Research and data delivery with the Data Delivery System (DDS)
The Data Delivery System (DDS) is a cloud-based platform developed by the SciLifeLab Data Centre for the secure and efficient delivery of research data from SciLifeLab Facilities to their users, specifically research groups. The application is containerized and running in Kubernetes clusters. The deployments are synchronized with ArgoCD and uses modern GitOps tools such as SealedSecrets.

Building Secure Container Images.
In this workshop, participants will learn how to build secure container images. The session will cover essential security practices throughout the image lifecycle, from development to deployment, ensuring that containers are resilient against common vulnerabilities and threats.
Attendees will start with an overview of container security principles. The workshop will then guide participants through practical steps to build secure images using Docker, including:
- Base Image Selection: Choosing secure, minimal base images to reduce vulnerabilities.
- Dockerfile Best Practices: Writing Dockerfiles with security in mind, including multi-stage builds, reducing image layers, and avoiding sensitive data leaks.
- Dependency Management: Scanning and managing dependencies to prevent introducing vulnerabilities.
- Image Hardening: Techniques for hardening images, such as running as non-root users and setting file permissions.
- Finally, deploying in a cluster, using GitOps tools such as ArgoCD and SealedSecrets.
We will use several tools such as Trivy for image scanning, Dive to inspect the layers of an image and some pentesting tools that automatically test against a benchmark.
The workshop will also cover strategies for continuously monitoring and updating images to maintain security over time.

Securing Kubernetes Workloads: From Code to Cluster
This talk focuses on securing Kubernetes workloads, walking through the whole process; from coding to deployment. It covers securing container images, setting up policies, and ensuring secure communication between microservices. As well as continuously scanning in the hunt for recently discovered vulnerabilities.
Attendees will learn how to use tools like Kube-hunter and Trivy to manage vulnerabilities and ensure their clusters remain secure over time.

Scaling Made Simple: How Kubernetes Handles Growing Apps
When your app gets popular, you need it to handle more users without slowing down. Kubernetes can help! In this session, we’ll cover the basics of scaling: what it is, why it’s important, and how Kubernetes adds or removes app instances automatically to match demand. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how Kubernetes scaling works — even if you’re just starting out.
