What's New in Open Source Kubernetes?
Kubernetes moves fast. With 3 releases per year, it's hard to keep up with what's new in open source - not to mention whatever distributions or managed services you may use on top of it. This session will explore some of the most exciting changes to Kubernetes over the last couple of years including:
* The introduction of a native way to implement the Sidecar Pattern.
* Removal of "In-Tree" Cloud & Storage Provider code
* The deprecation of Pod Security Policies (PSPs) and introduction of Pod Security Admission
* The transition of image registry from k8s.gcr.io to registry.k8s.io
and more!
Kaslin Fields is a co-chair of SIG-ContribEx in open source Kubernetes, a CNCF Ambassador, and co-host of the Kubernetes Podcast from Google. Through her work both in Open Source & on the podcast, she enjoys keeping up with the community, & looks forward to sharing their exciting work with you!
The State of Stateful on Kubernetes
When folks think of "stateful" workloads, they usually think of databases. But stateful workloads are actually much more than that, at least from Kubernetes' perspective. Simply put, a workload is "stateful" if there is something else that cares about its state, meaning that "Stateful" workloads are about dependencies. Kubernetes' role is to make sure those dependencies between different parts of your system are managed appropriately.
The Stateful Set object in Kubernetes addresses some of the challenges of giving a workload a sticky identity, so the other components that depend on it can find it. That sticky identity is one challenge common to stateful workloads, but the other, harder, challenge is managing disruption. In this talk, you will learn how to identify a workload as "stateful," and about the tools Kubernetes provides to manage stateful workloads' unique challenges.
Welcome to CloudLand: Intro to Cloud Native & the CNCF
The Cloud has become a standard part of life for modern businesses. And with it, has come the concept of “Cloud Native.” But what does “Cloud Native” mean? How does it relate to “DevOps” & Ops? And what technologies fit into the “Cloud Native” category? In this talk, you will take a fun comic-driven journey through the Cloud Native technology landscape. In addition to learning about core types of Cloud Native technologies, you will see examples of popular Open Source projects that fill important roles in DevOps environments - such as Kubernetes, Terraform, and more.
An Illustrated Intro to Containers
Companies the world over are racing to make their businesses “Cloud Native” by undergoing “DevOps Transformations.” At the core of these transformations, you’ll find engineering discussions dominated by talk of containers and Kubernetes. Understanding what containers are and how to integrate them into the way a company does business, is the challenge engineers are being posed with.
This talk is here to give you the knowledge and tools to begin your journey with Linux containers. Through fun hand-drawn illustrations and analogies, you’ll learn the key benefits of using containers, and about the technologies that make them work. Then you’ll start to learn how containers work and how to use them through live demonstrations.
