Siegfried Stumpfer - TalosOS: The OS Kubernetes Deserves

Configuring Kubernetes is hard enough, so why make it even harder by managing an entire operating system beneath it?TalosOS eliminates many of the common pain points of maintaining an OS in a Kubernetes cluster. In this session, we'll explore how TalosOS operates, highlighting its resilience and security features that make it incredibly robust, even when faced with inexperienced or reckless operators.

Join me as I share my experiences, lessons learned, and why TalosOS might be the OS you didn’t know you needed.

Christian Schabetsberger - CloudEvents: A Standard for Event-Driven Architectures

In an always changing landscape of sheer unlimited possibilities, it becomes more and more important to craft interoperable systems. Connecting distributes systems often results into message-based, asynchronous architectures. CloudEvents (a CNCF project) aims at exactly that, by providing a standard for common eventing metadata.

In this talk, we will a take a dive into CloudEvents, how they look like, how it can support you building interoperable systems and what tooling is available to get you started.
