Setting up monitoring stack

Go through motivations as well as decision points for why and how to setup monitoring infra in devops in Kiteworks

Mostly covering such setup on Kubernetes (EKS)

Introducing LLMs into Devops Team within Kiteworks

Story based session which involves going through the technical reasons of how LLMs are introduced within the devops team within Kiteworks. The end result of all the choices made is a chatbot that has access to internal wiki and a mcp server with Jenkins.

There will be a small demo showing subset of the functionality (actual chatbot will not be shown for obvious reasons)

Back to basics: Deploy application to Kubernetes

This is a introductory sessions that talks people on how to deploy a Python/Golang application and get it into EKS. Will take users through trying application locally, packaging using docker, pushing application container into Kubernetes and then viewing the result in Kubernetes

Introduction to Cloud Run

An introduction to Google Cloud Run, a newly announced serverless solution which allows one to deploy any runtime and any software and let Google manage it. The main piece of this presentation is a demonstration of how to deploy a service onto Google Cloud Run via Google Cloud Console GUI

Introduction to Skaffold

Block Youtube shorts with Chrome Extensions

A quick introduction on how to build a chrome extension in order to block youtube shorts on the youtube website. https://www.hairizuan.com/chrome-extension-to-get-rid-of-youtube-shorts/

Meant to be a lightning session since it's not content heavy

Feature flags can be surprisingly complicated

Feature flags are usually an after-thought when it comes to building applications. However, there is an entire army of developers that think otherwise. There is now an small set of companies that aim to provide feature flags as a service. There is now even a project in CNCF that aims to standardize this in order to ensure that users are not bound to a single provider. This talk aims to cover this (and more if time permits)

Build your own code assessment platform (but on Kubernetes)

A session about building your own code assessment platform. Particular focus on the sandbox environment to run submitted code which will be implemented via docker for this particular talk. There will be a focus on security configurations needed for docker setup as well as kubernetes configuration to ensure that such a platform would be more secure

Build your own redis

Redis changed their license and that resulted in some companies needing to switch away from Redis. It might be a good opportunity to look at Redis to see how it clicks under the hood - how data is passed from server to redis servers etc (looking and trying to understand the redis protocol). We will then attempt to build a small redis based on that (only covering the critical redis api-s)

Back to basics: Deploy a application to a VM

Basic simple workshop which involves building applications and then deploying it to a server. This session is for beginners and cover basic linux fundamentals and http protocols etc
