Cloud Foundry PaaS on Azure Kubernetes
In this session, learn how to install cf-for-k8s on Azure Kubernetes clusters. This will help transform your complex K8s workflows into simple ones for developers who can deploy to Kubernetes with a single command!
The Cloud Foundry developer experience is time-tested and has brought many efficiency, security, and com[pliance benefits to large enterprise-grade deployments. This CF experience is being ported to Kubernetes infrastructure now, and teams of all shapes and sizes can benefit from a simplified and elegant interface to their K8s infrastructure.
The talk will explore the process of installation and demonstrate a few sample application deployments.
Platform Paridhabangal: Many Ways To Engineer Platforms on Kubernetes
The enormous success of the CNCF Landscape has produced an overwhelming number of options in the Platform Engineering space. Not to mention all the marketing. This has led to a uniform struggle for organizations to establish their platforms quickly.
Though there are variations of platforms (i.e data, application, machine learning, etc) many start to have the same problems. These include artifact management, secrets management, TLS certificates, cloud permissions, and the list goes on. Providing turnkey solutions for platforms that can be ready in minutes adds much velocity to engineering teams across organizations that adopt the platform engineering model.
This talk will demonstrate various workflows such as creating teams, assigning roles, deploying apps, creating remote staging and local deployment workflows all using cloud native tools. There will also be a demonstration of Radius, KubeVela, and Korifi which are complete build and deployment platforms.
The Kubernetes Developer Experience Wild Card: PaaS Tools
Many software engineering teams of all sizes and shapes are facing trouble migrating to Kubernetes. Depending on their existing pattern of infrastructure and operations, they have to face different problems.
Introducing a PaaS tool helps mitigate a lot of these problems. They simplify a lot of the processes by abstracting Kubernetes internals. PaaS tools provide a convenient means for developers to interact with Kubernetes clusters because they obfuscate Kube-primitives and instead provide an alternative.
This talk will explore the general difficulties software engineering teams have when migrating to Kubernetes by characterizing them along the spectrum of existing infrastructure options. (eg. using VMs, using Docker, using mainframes :( , etc ). Then the presentation will move to a brief discussion on strategies and best practices for migration to Kubernetes. Finally a taxonomy of various tools available to apply PaaS substrates over the Kubernetes cluster will be presented.
Implementing Cloud Foundry PaaS Over Kubernetes
This talk describes the path adopted by the Cloud Foundry community to create a "cf push" abstraction over Kubernetes. Cloud Foundry is an open source platform designed to simplify the deployment experience for developers.
The community has attempted to solve this problem in different ways over the years and the project has achieved an important level of maturity right now. This talk will contain a short walk down memory lane about the experiences of the community and will also include a live demo of installing, using Cloud Foundry Korifi for sample deployments.
A Platform Engineering Parable: Implementing Cloud Foundry Over Kubernetes
Come listen to the untold story of how one community made two technologies function together in three attempts over the past four years.
This talk describes the path adopted by the Cloud Foundry community to create a "cf push" abstraction over Kubernetes.
Cloud Foundry continues to see tremendous success as a "Platform". Small teams of operators were able to support large volumes of applications and app developers and deliver production excellence.
The emergence of Docker for containers and Kubernetes for container orchestration caused the technology to lose a bit of steam over the years.
Many engineers who have used Cloud Foundry though, swear by it! Organizations that use Cloud Foundry continue to revel in its operational excellence.
The talk will also include a demo of Cloud Foundry Korifi, the latest attempt by the community, that implements a Cloud Foundry abstraction backed entirely by custom resources.
