About this event


Talks

Our first talk by Simon Ostendorf, working student in the container platform team at CANCOM Managed Services GmbH, will highlight new and existing Kubernetes features for Identity and Secrets Management. With an example of a Kubelet Credentials Provider using the new "Service Account Token for Image Pulls"-Feature introduced as alpha in 1.33 he will showcase how the community uses KEPs to bring new features to Kubernetes. Do you want to learn more about integrating Kubernetes with external Secrets Stores like OpenBao / Hashicorp Vault? Then this is the talk for you!

Our second talk will be on "Expanding Kubernetes Networking for Telco CNFs" by Ingo Meirick from Ericsson. The presentation will highlight ongoing activities and use cases within the Kubernetes community that are driving the multi-networking enhancements.
