Kubernauts! We are excited to announce the next San Francisco Kubernetes meetup will be March 15, 2018 at Amazon in San Francisco.

We'll be jumping into Cilium and a production story on how Komodo Health built an automated data pipeline on K8s. Also, if you'd like to present please ping me via meetup or twitter @baldwinmathew. Email is baldwin_at_stackpoint.io.

SPONSORED: Spin up and manage a Kubernetes cluster with Istio at AWS, GCE, GKE, DigitalOcean or Azure using Stackpoint.io today! https://stackpoint.io/clusters/new?solution=istio&utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=event_page&utm_campaign=sf_k8s

7:00 - 7:30 - Cilium: Application-Aware Security for Microservices via BPF - Cynthia Thomas

BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) is becoming the fastest growing technology in the Linux kernel and is revolutionizing networking, security and tracing. At the same time, the rise of container-based orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes is creating demand for routing, load-balancing & security infrastructure that is highly scalable, application-aware, and resilient. This talk introduces the open source project Cilium - a modern networking and security platform for microservices. Cilium is built on top of BPF and provides Linux native networking and security services with application protocol awareness. Cilium works hand in hand with application proxies such as Envoy and the services management orchestration layer Istio to provide infrastructure services in a transparent manner and with minimal overhead. This talk will discuss the challenges of exposing services via APIs and the solution that Cilium provides to enforce least privilege security.

7:30 - 8:00 - Building an Automated Data Pipeline - Challenges & Gotchas - Weiwei Zhang

This talk is an overview of how the Data Engineering team at Komodo Health tackles configuration management, automating data deployment via micro-services, and creating a paradigm for collecting and analyzing logs. It introduces the challenges the team faced during creating and maintaining these systems and shares what they have learned from leveraging open-source tools like Airflow, Kubernetes and Spark.

8:00 - Social, Wrap-up, Jet
