Hello San Francisco Kubernauts!

The October meetup is fast approaching. We invite you to join us at Sysdig for two presentations around testing and logging.

Please note: We had to make a change in the originally scheduled presentations. We will reschedule Carol’s talk on how ”multiple CNCF projects are better together” for a future meetup.

At this meetup, we’ll first hear from Alex Leong as he presents: “Easy Manual Testing in Kubernetes”

Curl is the println debugging of microservices, but when running in Kubernetes this type of manual testing can be painful. Alex will examine a few techniques for easily generating test traffic including port forwarding, curl containers, load generators, and building-block topologies.

For the second presentation, we welcome Marky Jackson from Sysdig. He will discuss the challenges that his team faced when choosing a logging platform as well as explore some of the technical pitfalls and best practices he learned when exploring logging platforms. Marky is ready to discuss the technical details while having some fun along the way!

SPONSORED: We are grateful to Sysdig for hosting the group this month! A hearty thank you also goes out to NetApp for ongoing support.
