[Talk #13] Where’s my container? Visualizing the GitOps Container Journey

GitOps has become the de facto approach for enabling simple, secure, and auditable deployments. However, when you deploy to multiple Kubernetes clusters, knowing where your services are in the GitOps journey can be challenging. It can be almost impossible to track permutations of service versions across clusters with current tools available. In the session, you… Continue reading [Talk #13] Where’s my container? Visualizing the GitOps Container Journey

CNCF Incubating projects showcase: NATS, Thanos and Flux

In this showcase event, we will be discussing the value proposition, key features, and latest updates on the following popular incubating projects. 🔶 NATS.io: https://nats.io/Colin Sullivan, Product Manager (Synadia)NATS is a connective technology built for the ever increasingly hyper-connected world. It is a single technology that enables applications to securely communicate across any combination of cloud… Continue reading CNCF Incubating projects showcase: NATS, Thanos and Flux

Security & Policy Configurations for Infrastructure as Code

When you use cloud infrastructure, you might find yourself accidentally applying a configuration for an open storage bucket, unencrypted queue, or unrestricted access control. At worst, these misconfigurations can be exploited by bad actors. At best, they get duplicated across an organization without anyone knowing better. Over time, this duplication becomes painful to manage as… Continue reading Security & Policy Configurations for Infrastructure as Code

Architecting your Stack: Why Video Platform, Mux, Went All in on Kubernetes

Kubernetes is hard, so making the decision to run it on your own, in a multi-cloud environment may seem like a bold choice. At Mux, it’s a choice we’ve made to help power our Video API and quality of experience analytics, and it’s served us well. At this meetup, Adam Brown, co-founder, and Head of… Continue reading Architecting your Stack: Why Video Platform, Mux, Went All in on Kubernetes

Building and running a world-class observability function

Observability teams as a centralized function within SRE or IT Operations are a relatively recent phenomenon. These teams are responsible for managing the monitoring and observability toolset and empowering developer and engineering teams to push the right data into the systems to get back the information they need. This session will cover what an organization… Continue reading Building and running a world-class observability function

Shared components in a Cloud-Native world

Engineering orgs aim to create the thinnest viable platform to reduce the cognitive load on their dev teams. The role of a TVP is critical if you want to scale your team, abstract “meaningful” components with libraries and ship security patches to production in a breeze. This talk will present how a typical pre-Kubernetes org… Continue reading Shared components in a Cloud-Native world

Events first: cloud-native patterns beyond request/response

Going cloud-native is about how we design our applications, not just how we deploy them — and one key choice in distributed systems design is how our applications interact with each other. Request/response-based protocols are ubiquitous in software today, but the industry is still early in adopting event-driven approaches, which offer compelling advantages for highly… Continue reading Events first: cloud-native patterns beyond request/response

Advertising IoT Devices as Extended Resources in Kubernetes w/ Akri

Kubernetes is powerfully declarative. When deploying a Pod, you can specify memory and CPU resource limits, so your application will have all the resources it needs. A few years ago, Kubernetes created the Device Plugin framework to allow other resources to be requested. It was created with the cloud in mind, particularly focused on allowing… Continue reading Advertising IoT Devices as Extended Resources in Kubernetes w/ Akri

GitOps and Progressive Delivery with Flux, Istio, and Flagger

Having in our minds the very high level of service expected by our customers, we were urged to build our architecture as resilient and reliable as we could. That brought us many challenges, from scalability to observability, from multi-cluster and multi-region deployments to managed services geo-replication. While many of these challenges are already tackled, some… Continue reading GitOps and Progressive Delivery with Flux, Istio, and Flagger

Automate Microservice to API by using Kubernetes Operator Pattern

The recent constraints on businesses have pushed organizations to accelerate their plans for moving operations to the digital world—often shrinking timelines from years to months to weeks. Microservices architecture (MSA) is critical to accomplish fast innovation, and the APIs exposed from microservices should be secured, managed, observed, and monetized. All these steps require significant time.… Continue reading Automate Microservice to API by using Kubernetes Operator Pattern
