CNCF Updates
Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way, CNCF Ambassador Aurélie Vache	Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard to deploy and operate containerized applications. But understanding Kubernetes can be difficult or time-consuming. Four years ago I asked myself how I imagined the concepts of Kubernetes: a pod, a deployment, a service, a secret, a configmap, a cronjob… and then I created a new way of explaining Cloud technologies. In the first part of the talk, I will tell you a story, I will tell you my story. How, during more than two years, I worked every evening/nights/wee-end to explaining Kubernetes in sketchnotes, in blog posts, videos and finally published everything (and more) in an illustrated book of more than 270 pages (with all the concepts included Debugging / Troubleshooting and Tips) and why I continue to do it. And in the second part, I will explain Kubernetes to you ... in a visual way
GitOps in a nutshell by Lucien Boix SRE @360.Agency	Find out what GitOps is exactly, and how to use it with a Kubernetes cluster, through this Lightning Talk where all the necessary will be explained to you : genesis, pillars, real use cases and finally a visual and practical example of a GitOps flow. The goal here is to give you the best possible introduction to GitOps and spark your interest to explore it further on your own!
Surfing the Argo CD sync waves by Frédéric Harper, Developer Advocate @ Kubefirst	If you want to be successful in your cloud native journey, a good Kubernetes-native continuous deployment (CD) tool is indispensable. You also want a declarative GitOps CD if you stick to the GitOps principles, and manage your cluster with a single source of truth, the Git repository. There are some interesting choices out there, Argo CD being one of the best. In this talk, let’s surf the sync waves together, and learn the intrinsic parts of using Argo CD to deploy, and manage applications on your clusters. We’ll explore the insightful web UI, but also play with the CLI for terminal lovers. You’ll also end up with a broader comprehension of GitOps through the lenses of Argo CD while improving your application lifecycle management (ALM).
