TALK DETAILS:

“Continuously delivering all the things”, Brendan Kamp
Abstract: I will take the concepts of an ops/apps cluster pair and create a Push Model GitOps CI-CD pipeline, which will showcase the upside to handling your infrastructure in a version controlled manner. This talk will walk through the powers of combining terraform and containers into your CI-CD Solution in order to abstract away the underlying infrastructure of a CI-CD pipeline and run it anywhere in the exact same way.

“Building Kubernetes Operators with KUDO - Experiences from Building the ArangoDB Operator”, Jörg Schad
Abstract: In recent years Kubernetes has become the default platform for deploying your microservices. A multi-model database such as ArangoDB can provide a scalable persistent backend for both graph and document data models for such microservice architectures.
The best practice for running stateful services–such as ArangoDB–on Kubernetes is using operators which provides automation around deployment, scaling, and failure recovery.
Unfortunately writing an operator is challenging and time-consuming. it requires deep Kubernetes expertise and typically 10,000 or more lines of code, a significant investment and maintenance burden over time. So developers wanting to write an operator for their favorite stateful system are challenged to learn about Operators, Kubernetes, and Golang.
KUDO aims at simplifying that process by providing a simple YAML based configuration from which the operator is generated.
In this talk we will discuss:
* the lessons learned while writing the ArangoDB operator
* general best practices around operator Day 2 operations (such as upgrades, configuration changes, etc)
* the various operator SDKs including kubebuilder, Operator SDK, Kudo, and others

“Running Kubernetes on Packet with Lokomotive”, Johannes Liebermann + Chris Kühl
Abstract: In this presentation we'll provide a general overview of considerations, challenges, and benefits when running Kubernetes on Packet, a bare-metal cloud provider. We'll then discuss how we are dealing with these issues in Lokomotive, Kinvolk's Kubernetes distribution, and demo getting a cluster up.
