Los Angeles Kubernauts and Cloud Native enthusiasts! 

We're excited to announce our May meetup will be hosted at Ticketmaster on May 11, 2017 in Hollywood.

Also, if you'd like to speak at a future meetup ping us via meetup or twitter (@baldwinmathew). Anyone can present or do a lightning demo regardless of experience. 

Agenda: 
6:00 - 7:00 - Social Mixer / Open House

7:00 - 7:30 - Gianluca Borello - Kubernetes-Defined Monitoring

In this talk, we’ll explore the question, “What if Kubernetes also defined and automated monitoring?” We’ll explore some of the available tooling to answer questions like:

• What are the right ways to instrument Kubernetes workers & pods?

• How do you effectively get visibility into aggregate microservices vs just containers?

• How can Kubernetes automate the act of setting up monitoring dashboards and alerts?

• How can teams use Kubernetes to allow them to isolate monitoring data more effectively, so that the right data is exposed only to the right people?

This will be a demo-driven session, based on a real Kubernetes environment, using a variety of tools at our disposal. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Kubernetes deployments as well as monitoring requirements.

7:30 - 8:00 - Mike Metral - Distilling and Creating Custom Kubernetes Operator

Kubernetes is a set of abstractions used to manage compute and app workloads. The cluster is capable of handling various types of use-cases, but there are certain abstractions (or resources) that the system does not natively implement.  In order to create custom abstractions in Kubernetes, we must extend the cluster with new resources and processes, formally known as Operators. This talk will distill the concept of Operators, and walk through a demo of creating a new Operator for the cluster.

8:00 onward - QA, Wrap-up, Mixer
