14. WE’RE (ALWAYS) LOOKING FOR SPEAKERS Have you used Kubernetes in production? Taken a CNCF project for a test drive? Were you successful (or not) in containerizing your application? We want to hear! Let’s share our stories with each other You can also apply for a roadshow across the Nordics if you like Submit a talk proposal at https:/ /bit.ly/k8sfin-cfp

17. = OPEN SOURCE CLOUD COMPUTING FOR APPLICATIONS
18. What is CNCF? A non-profit foundation for getting Cloud Native: a) open source projects b) companies c) enthusiasts to come together in a neutral place. CNCF was founded in December 2015 and is a part of The Linux Foundation. CNCF curates and promotes a toolkit of trusted projects for modern applications. Helps hosted projects to succeed in various ways, one of them is by organizing events where the community can meet in person.

22. WHAT IS CLOUD NATIVE? 22 Cloud native technologies empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach. These techniques enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. Combined with robust automation, they allow engineers to make high-impact changes frequently and predictably with minimal toil. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation seeks to drive adoption of this paradigm by fostering and sustaining an ecosystem of open source, vendor neutral projects. We democratize state-of-the-art patterns to make these innovations accessible for everyone.

29. 29 KubeCon Recap 10 Weird Ways to Blow Up Your Kubernetes - Melanie Cebula & Bruce Sherrod, Airbnb Keynote: Reflections - Kelsey Hightower, Staff Developer Advocate, Google Keynote: Hello From the Other Side: Dispatches From a Kubernetes Attacker - Ian Coldwater Keynote: In Search of the Kubernetes "Rails" Moment - Bryan Liles
30. 30 Kubernetes • Released 1.16 • CRDs are GA • Overhauled metrics • Ephemeral containers: – kubectl debug => attach a debug container to your Pod • Node Topology Manager • Cloud Providers moved out of tree • IPv4/IPv6 dual stack support • Pod topology spread constraints • 32,000 individual contributors to date
31. 31 Kubernetes Community Values Both in dedicated presentation, but also throughout all presentations • Distribution is better than centralization • Community over product or company • Automation over process • Inclusive is better than exclusive • Evolution is better than stagnation E.g. Project mergers, focus on non-code contributions to Kubernetes
32. 32 Helm • Tiller is gone – Release stored as Secrets by default – helm3 2to3 convert (in-place conversion) • Helm Hub • No default helm repo • 3-way merge (instead of 2-way merge) • Helm 3 enables pushing charts to Docker Registry • Special handling of CRDs
33. 33 OpenTracing + OpenCensus = OpenTelemetry • “Project before company” • A standard way to instrument and trace any distributed application • Ability to trace and requests throughout the service meshes and the broader ecosystem • Keynote with live demo: (Open)Telemetry Makes Observability Simple - Sarah Novotny & Liz Fong-Jones
34. 34 OPA / Gatekeeper • JSON input + Rego policy => JSON output • Plenty of integrations: K8s, object storage, Terraform Gatekeeper: OPA integration for K8s • Gatekeeper acts as a cache for all resources in the cluster • V3 is out • Policies stored in CRDs • Dry run • Community developed policies Common misunderstandings: • Kubernetes is NOT secure by default • DevSecOps => automatedly enforce and verify best practices • Both for secure environments, but especially for regulated environments
35. 35 GitOps • “Operations by pull requests” • Benefits: – Shared view of developer and operators – Automation of infrastructure changes – Safely deploy changes • Ephemeral environments • Front-running horses: – (Vanilla) Helm – Flux + Argo = ArgoFlux • Git also changed by bots, not only humans • Argo + Flux = ArgoFlux – “Project before company” – GitOps Framework
36. 36 BPF • Small pieces of secure and restricted code • Can be injected before any function at run-time – Kernel-space – User-space • Think aspect-oriented programming done right Useful for: • Auditing (Falco, Sysdig) • Intrusion detection (Falco, Sysdig) • Anomaly detection (Falco, Sysdig) • Network filtering and routing (Cilium, a.k.a., “iptables killer”)
