The Cloud Native Enterprise Journey - how the enterprises are moving to be more cloud native, what challenges they face, what common anti-patterns there are (Marcus Maxwell, Contino)
The Cloud Native Enterprise Journey - The trail to The Land of Cloud Native is treacherous and constantly changing, how does an Enterprise prepare for such a journey? Join me in exploring the path of how Enterprises are tackling this problem. Find out the different decisions behind picking a cloud vendor, how containers are implemented from dev to production, why Jenkins is still dominating the CI/CD space and what makes for a good monitoring stack and why all of these decisions pale in comparison to solving the cultural problem of getting everyone on the Cloud Native Trail and avoiding the common anti-patterns along the way.
What's so hard about container vulnerability scanning? (Liz Rice, Aqua)
When a code vulnerability gets disclosed, the race is on to patch your code - and in a containerized deployment, you may have many thousands of instances that need updating. Typically enterprises use an image scanner to identify affected containers. This talk dives into what image scanners really do, how they work, and why identifying vulnerabilities is a harder problem than you might at first imagine.
Liz Rice is the Technology Evangelist with container security specialists Aqua Security, and Co-Chair (with Kelsey Hightower) of this year's KubeCon / CloudNativeCon. Prior to getting immersed in containers she built up a wealth of software development, team, and product management experience working on network protocols and distributed systems, and in digital technology sectors such as VOD, music, and VoIP. When not writing code, or talking about it, Liz loves riding bikes in places with better weather than her native London, and competing in virtual races on Zwift.
A different approach to a Log Management database architecture (Martin Westergaard Lassen, Humio)
With progressive move towards Cloud Native, Microservices and distributed applications we see that log management and observability is becoming more and more important for debugging applications. In many of these cases, harvesting massive amounts of log data from a number of systems is not an easy task.
In this talk we will take a look at how we wrote a database capable of ingesting 20 TB of data per day while still live searching unstructured data. We will go through many of the trade-offs that can be thought of as controversial in our current industry.
