Hello Los Angeles Kubernauts!

You are warmly invited to join us for the May meetup at Verizon Digital Media.

The first presentation of the evening is going focus on securing Kubernetes. Henry will present "Zero Trust Security with Athenz." In this talk, he will discuss Athenz, its integration with OpenStack, Kubernetes, AWS for RBAC, identity provisioning, and how it enables Zero Trust.

Second on the program is Kevin Xu. His talk will introduce the architecture of TiDB and TiKV (a CNCF project), key use cases, a user story with Mobike (one of the largest bikesharing platforms in the world), and a demo of deploying TiDB + TiKV as a stateful application using Kubernetes in an Operator pattern.
