Hello NYC Kubernauts!

We’re very excited about our June event - ASAPP has invited us to take in the city from the 80th floor of One World Trade Center! This means you’ll want to bring a government issued ID and match your meetup profile name with it. We can vouch the view here is all kinds of gorgeous, and totally worth it.

Come for the view but stay for the talks - we have a great talk lined up from the Solo.io folks, about Chaos Debugging for Microservices. In the parlance of Prophet Hightower, it will be extra dope.

Scott Scranton will present about how distributed microservices introduce new challenges: failure modes are harder to anticipate and resolve. In this session, he’ll present a “Chaos Debugging” framework enabled by three open source projects: Gloo Shot, Squash, and Loop to help increase microservices’ “immunity” to issues.

Joe Duffy, the CEO of Pulumi, will give a talk about Repeatable, Reliable, Debuggable Deployments with Kubernetes as Code. ​Kubernetes deployments today too often ​entail slamming 1,000s of lines of hard to understand YAML, sometimes Go templated with Helm charts, against the API server, and then sitting back, tailing logs, and hoping everything goes as planned. Often they do not, and debugging what went wrong is difficult. In this talk, we'll see how using infrastructure as code, applied to Kubernetes configuration, can help understand, test, verify, and debug your configuration when things go wrong.
Dope dope dope!

LOCATION / INSTRUCTIONS

We’ll be hosting at One World Trade Center, which is a building that takes security seriously. You’ll want to insure you arrive with a government issued ID, and that your meetup profile name matches that ID, as that is what we’ll be sharing with the front-desk as our attendee list.

The meetup map is a little glitchy, so the actual address is:
ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER
80th FLOOR
NEW YORK, NY 10007

You’ll want to use one of the SIDE entrances to join us at the meetup. There should be side entrances on the Fulton St side or the Vesey St. If you find yourself inside of the One World Observatory with a big line of tourists, you’re in the wrong place. Exit and find an entrance from Fulton or Vesey.
