Title: Aspect-Oriented Deployments with Kubernetes
Speaker: Gordon Myers
Summary: Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a technique wherein you add functionality that cuts across service boundaries by decorating your code with annotations. On a similar vein, there are techniques to adding real functionality to K8S pods using only annotations. See an example of how we inject secrets from Vault into pods using only a single annotation on the pods, and learn the underlying techniques used to empower you to do so much more with Kubernetes annotations.
