TALK DETAILS:

"Pipeline Driven Development with a Closer Look at Tekton", Cari Liebenberg

Abstract: Cari spent the last few years building projects using Jenkins, Azure DevOps, AppCenter and Gitlab. After learning about Tekton and building a few example pipelines with Tekton, she started rethinking pipelines and the existing patterns we use to manage automation. Reviewing well known pipeline structures like CI, CD and Gitops, she will discuss ideas for creating adaptable pipelines that behave in a modular, reusable way allowing projects to prepare for the rapid transformation of the cloud environments we build.

"Continuing the CoreOS Legacy with Flatcar and Lokomotive", Andrew Randall

Abstract: Andy will provide an update on Kinvolk’s two flagship open source projects, Flatcar Linux (its “friendly fork” of CoreOS Container Linux) and Lokomotive, a 100% open source Kubernetes distro, with a heritage derived from CoreOS Tectonic. He will cover what’s new in recent releases, where the projects are headed, and how they fit into a broader vision of enabling a truly enterprise-grade open source cloud native platform. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a demo, including a sneak preview of some new (work in progress) Lokomotive features.
