Title: GitOps with Gitlab and ArgoCD - an automated CI/CD pipeline with Gitlab and ArgoCD will be presented

Abstract:
In this presentation we would like to introduce our automated CI/CD pipeline with Gitlab and ArgoCD. Software environments are managed declaratively via GitOps in Git and deployed automatically with ArgoCD to Kubernetes/OpenShift. In combination, the two tools offer a future-proof CI/CD pipeline that meets security requirements and centralizes and facilitates release management across applications.

Title: Service Control Platform in Microservices Architecture

Abstract:
Kubernetes has changed how we think about application development, but it has also introduced additional complexity into the way we manage microservices. What is a simple way to extend Kubernetes for highly-available applications at scale?
This talk will take you on a deep dive into Kong, an open-source API gateway for Kubernetes Ingress. Kong’s Ingress Controller implements authentication, load-balancing, traffic throttling, transformations, caching, metrics, and logging across Kubernetes clusters. And if you’re looking to go beyond by adding service mesh, Kuma is there for you!

See you there!
