Kubernauts!

We are excited to announce the next San Francisco Kubernetes meetup will be September 13, 2018 at Quantcast's offices in San Francisco.

If you want to host or speak at the K8s community meetups, please reach out to me via email ([masked]) or Twitter (@baldwinmathew).

Agenda:

6:30 - 7:00 - Social

7:00 - 7:30 - Kubernetes and the Container Storage Interface (CSI) - Saad Ali, Google

One of the key differentiators for Kubernetes, since the first release, has been a powerful volume plugin system. And since the beginning, Kubernetes has supported multiple volume plugin options, including NFS, iSCSI, along with native support for storage solutions from the major public and private cloud providers. As the project and ecosystem continue to grow, more and more storage systems want to integrate with Kubernetes. However, adding volume plugins for new storage systems has been a challenge both for storage providers and for the Kubernetes dev team.

Kubernetes 1.9 introduced the Container Storage Interface (CSI) which makes installing new volume plugins as easy as deploying a pod.

In this talk Saad will describe what CSI is, where it came from, how it integrates with Kubernetes, and how it will impact Kubernetes users and admins.

7:30 - 8:00 - Open Source @ AWS EKS - Chris Hein, Amazon

One of the core tenets of Amazon building Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS) was that "the EKS team actively contributes to the Kubernetes project". In this talk, Chris will give you a rundown of some of the projects that AWS have been working on in the Open Source world. We'll discuss the work being done by @errordeveloper and AWS on eksctl, then dive into the move from Heptio owning the AWS IAM Authenticator to being donated to SIG-AWS and where the project is going, along with the K8s VPC CNI plugin and how that enabled a flat networking stack and lastly we'll talk about the ALB Ingress controller.

8:00 - 8:30 - Social, Wrap-up, Jet
