KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019

Breakfast & Registration
9am - 10am

API Gateway & Ingress Management 
10am - 12pm
Ingress management is an important part of your configuration and operations. When services are exposed outside a cluster, one needs to take care of authentication, observability to maintain SLOs, auditing, encryption and integrations with other third-party vendors, amongst other things.
During this workshop, we'll go through the architecture and design of an Ingress layer, and set up Kong on Kubernetes.
We will interact and configure Kong via `kubectl` to expose the services running inside the cluster, perform transformations, traffic throttling, authentication, logging on traffic flowing through the cluster.

Lunch & Networking
12pm - 1pm

Service Mesh
1:00pm - 2:45pm
Service mesh is a new pattern to build reliable distributed and decoupled applications, but often too complicated to implement with 1st generation control planes. Kong takes a new approach to service mesh with Kuma in order to build modern architectures across a large variety of platforms, including Kubernetes and VMs. Kuma is a universal control plane that addresses limitations of 1st generation service mesh technologies by enabling seamless management of any service on the network.
We’ll walk you through easily setting up service mesh across multiple environments, and enabling security and observability – in any network – automatically. We will introduce new concepts and products along the way, and let developers and architects of any skillset being comfortable with service mesh.
Registrants may choose to attend morning or afternoon sessions. Light breakfast, lunch and refreshments will be provided.

How to register: Pre-registration is required. To register for Modern Service Mesh and API Management, add it on during your KubeCon + CloudNativeCon registration.

The community collectively has an immense depth of knowledge and expertise which we can explore and learn from at this collaborative event. Whether you’re new, or not so new, to open source and the cloud native community, we invite you to register to attend the KubeCon Networking + Mentoring Session. You’ll have the chance to meet with experienced open source veterans across many CNCF projects. You will be paired with two other people in a pod like setting to explore technical and community questions together.

Sign Up to Be A Mentee

Are you part of a SIG? An ambassador of a cloud native project and want to help others with using or contributing to your project? Are you a code committer? An issue opener? A documentation writer? We’re looking for mentors of all backgrounds and experience levels (including new folks!) across the entire ecosystem with technical, community, and career experience to sign up for one or both sessions. Even if you’re a new comer, if you’ve even successfully navigated the PR process you have skills and insights to share! We will provide you with FAQs of attendees upfront so you know what to expect. Sign up here to be a mentor and help hundreds.
