For our next Cloud Native Rabat event, we're telling a complete story: the journey of an application from a developer's laptop to a live, monitored service. We need three expert speakers to guide our community through each chapter of this story.
We are looking for speakers to fill one of the following roles:
The Containerization Expert:
Show us how to take an application and package it into a container using Docker or Buildpacks.
The CI/CD Guru:
Take that container and show us how to automatically deploy it to Kubernetes using a CI/CD pipeline (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD).
The Observability Champion:
Once the app is live, show us how to monitor its health and performance with tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
Please note: As a new community chapter, we are run entirely by volunteers and do not have a budget. This is a volunteer opportunity to share your passion and expertise with a growing community. We are incredibly grateful for your willingness to contribute.
If you have practical knowledge in one of these areas, we invite you to share it. First-time speakers are warmly welcomed. Submit your talk and become a key part of our story!
Thank you for your interest in speaking at Cloud Native Rabat! For this event, we are weaving a single, continuous story: "From Code to Cloud: The Journey of a Modern Application."
We are looking for three speakers to act as our guides, each leading a 25-minute chapter of this journey. Your session should be practical, hands-on, and aimed at empowering our community with real-world skills. While we welcome deep technical knowledge, your primary goal should be to make complex topics accessible and actionable.
Live demos are highly encouraged!
Chapter 1: The Containerization Expert
Your Mission: To take a sample application (e.g., a simple web app) and package it for the cloud native world.
We're looking for a session that covers:
The "Why": A brief, clear explanation of why we containerize applications.
The "How": A practical demonstration of writing a Dockerfile or using Cloud Native Buildpacks.
Best Practices: Show how to create an optimized, secure, and efficient container image.
Outcome: Attendees should understand the fundamentals of containerization and feel confident in packaging their own applications.
Chapter 2: The CI/CD Guru
Your Mission: To take the container image created in Chapter 1 and build an automated pipeline to deploy it to a Kubernetes cluster.
We're looking for a session that covers:
The "Why": Explain the importance of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) for velocity and reliability.
The "How": A live demonstration of building a CI/CD pipeline. We are particularly interested in seeing examples using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or similar popular tools.
Best Practices: Discuss concepts like GitOps, environment promotion (dev -> staging -> prod), and handling secrets.
Outcome: Attendees should grasp how to automate the path from a code commit to a live deployment on Kubernetes.
Chapter 3: The Observability Champion
Your Mission: Now that the application is live, show us how to ensure it's healthy, performant, and reliable.
We're looking for a session that covers:
The "Why": Introduce the three pillars of observability (metrics, logs, and traces) and why they are critical.
The "How": A practical demonstration of instrumenting the application and setting up monitoring dashboards. We are looking for talks using tools like Prometheus for metrics collection and Grafana for visualization.
Best Practices: Show how to create meaningful alerts, build insightful dashboards, and use observability data to troubleshoot a problem.
Outcome: Attendees should leave knowing how to get started with monitoring their applications and what key signals to watch for.
Who Should Submit? :
If you have hands-on experience in one of these three areas, we want to hear from you! You don't need to be a professional speaker. First-time speakers are enthusiastically welcomed and encouraged. Our goal is to share knowledge within the community.
Remember: As a new, volunteer-run chapter, this is an unpaid speaking opportunity. It's a chance to build your profile, share your passion, and help grow the cloud native ecosystem in Rabat. We are immensely grateful for your contribution!
