KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2019

Bringing you the most popular workshop from DockerCon 2019, delivered by world-renowned trainer Nigel Poulton.
 
If you need to get your head around Kubernetes and want to get your hands dirty deploying and managing an app on a real Kubernetes cluster… this workshop is for you!
 
You’ll start out learning and re-enforcing the basics. Things like, what the heck is a cloud-native microservices app, and what do we mean when we say things like “Kubernetes is a cluster and it’s an application orchestrator…”. 
 
You’ll also get your hands-on, with your very own private Kubernetes lab. You'll deploy a simple app, demonstrate self-healing, scale it up and down, connect to it from the internet, do a zero-downtime rolling update, and perform a versioned rollback.

When we're done, you'll be ready to dive into the conference, and be raring to take your next steps.

About the trainer. Nigel has trained over 1,000,000 people and is known for his passion and addictive style of teaching. Some trainers are forgettable, Nigel gets inside your head!
 
About the labs. Everyone gets their own private 3-node Kubernetes cluster on the ground-breaking Magic Sandbox platform (https://msb.com). You get terminal access to your Kubernetes cluster, and an amazing live dashboard that shows everything in your cluster and how things connect and scale etc…
 
And last but not least… the workshop will be fun, and your registration fee will contribute towards supporting the causes listed in the “giving back” page on our website, nigelpoulton.com.

How to Register: Pre-registration is required. To register for Kubernetes 101, add it on during your KubeCon + CloudNativeCon registration.

“Cloud Native” is open source cloud computing for applications — a complete trusted toolkit for modern architectures (CNCF presentation). There are multiple proposed projects which address key parts of the problem of providing access controls and addressing safety concerns. Each of these adds value, yet for these technical solutions to be capable of working well together and manageable to operate they will need a minimal shared context of what defines a secure system architecture.

Vitess is a cloud-native storage solution that can scale indefinitely. This session will cover a high level overview of all the Vitess features, the architecture, and what database workloads are a good fit. We will then walk through a demo of live-migrating an existing MySQL installation into Vitess. Because Vitess also speaks the MySQL protocol, it is easy to retrofit scaling into your existing database systems.

SIG AWS is now a sub project of SIG Cloud provider. It is also a User Group. In this session, we will discuss what this means for you and our ongoing roadmap. We will also both demo and discuss features of the 7 projects (previously SIG AWS subprojects) that are part of Cloud Provider Subproject AWS. Bring details of your use cases and feature requests so you can define the future roadmap / feature ask. Also bring your priorities wrt documentation and testing. Finally we will gather together to discuss immediate contributions that folks can make to make these projects meaningful for all users of k8s on AWS.

We have designed and built an open-source Kubernetes native operator that manages the complete lifecycle of Apache Flink applications from creation to execution. FlinkK8sOperator (https://github.com/lyft/flinkk8soperator) leverages Kubernetes CustomResourceDefinition to enable native management of Flink applications on Kubernetes. In this session, I will be presenting some of the unique challenges of running a complex, stateful application on Kubernetes, and the lessons we have learnt. I will also be providing an overview of how flink operator abstracts out the complexity of hosting, configuring, managing and operating 1000s of Flink clusters from application developers, and concluding with a demo.

Data autonomy is the ability to control data anywhere, anytime. It is about storing, running and managing data for cloud native, virtualization, and legacy environments both on-premise and in the cloud. The SODA Foundation is embarking on a mission to deliver open data autonomy for end users. To tackle this formidable task, SODA has brought together a community of global innovators to collaborate and contribute to this open source project.

The CNCF CI status dashboard -- cncf.ci -- provides a third party validation of builds, deployments and end-to-end testing for CNCF’s Graduated and Incubating projects. The newest iteration of the cncf.ci status dashboard focuses on supporting a sustainable and scalable project ecosystem. To accelerate adding & maintaining projects on cncf.ci, the status dashboard can integrate with a project’s existing CI System and accept contributions from CNCF project maintainers. This Deep Dive session will include a walk-through of integrating a CNCF project with Travis CI to utilize the Travis CI build status and artifacts in the cncf.ci dashboard and allow time for Q&A.

There’s diversity – and then there’s inclusion. The difference between being invited and being a valued participant is vast. The Kubernetes and KubeCon community have made significant strides on both the diversity and inclusion front – but should not be satisfied with progress to date. Join this panel of thought leaders to learn how to turn a diverse community into an inclusive one, hear the challenges of building versus changing a culture, and how to ignite the power of diversity where you contribute.
How does the KubeCon/K8s community continue to lead the way in both diversity AND inclusion? Time to fill the dance floor. It's still too empty.

Geo-partitioning is an emerging requirement for multinational corporations. Laws such as the GDPR in Europe stipulate where a user’s data needs to be physically located, as well as when it can be transferred out of the EU. We expect additional legal jurisdictions to pass similar laws in the coming years, and that database management systems will require native functionality to assist in compliance. In the case of Vitess, one of its distinguishing features is support for flexible sharding schemes. This can easily be extended to support a custom sharding scheme that respects geo-partitioning requirements. In this deep dive we will first explore how and then demonstrate a database cluster built using the custom sharding scheme that solves data residency at the database layer obviating the need for any change at the application layer.

Kubernetes SIG Instrumentation is responsible for ensuring high quality and consistent instrumentation across the Kubernetes project. This deep dive session will go in detail currently ongoing efforts happening within SIG Instrumentation to share with the audience concrete pieces of work to encourage future collaboration. Specifically, we go into our ongoing efforts with the Kubernetes metrics stability framework and discuss our current exploration into adding distributed tracing to Kubernetes objects and their lifecycles. Software engineering and operations are both disciplines practiced in SIG Instrumentation, and any experience will help the special interest group's mission. Join this session to learn how to get involved in SIG Instrumentation to make instrumentation even better!

Learn why you need a buildpack and how to create one. We'll take advantage of caching and Docker layers to speed up rebuilds and deploys. Unlike Dockerfiles, buildpacks are composable. Finally, you'll learn how to rebase your application layers on a new image. This allow operators to efficiently handle the delivery of OS-level dependency upgrades.

Join containerd maintainers in this mini-summit to discuss the latest work happening on containerd. They will provide an overview of the state of the project, deep dive into recent changes, and discuss ongoing work for Windows support in containerd and Kubernetes CRI. At the end, maintainers will participate in a panel discussion and Q&A with attendees. The moderated panel will discuss topics related to various uses of containerd, from isolated runtimes like Firecracker, high performance environments like serverless, and user focused workflows like build.

In this session the CNCF Serverless Working Group will provide an update to the community on the state of Serverless since we produced our whitepaper and landscape document over a year ago. We'll overview what's changed in the community and what the new, and exciting, developments are - such as new open source projects and trends. Then we'll turn this into a BoF session where we'd like to hear from the community about where they would like the CNCF, and our WG, to go: e.g. what are the pain points people are seeing with respect to interoperability and portability of their Serverless workloads.
