Kubernetes, but Make It Human: Building a CLI with Golang by Harini Anand

This talk explores building a powerful, user-friendly Kubernetes command-line interface (CLI) in just four weeks using Go, Cobra, and Viper. Rooted in Unix philosophy, modularity, composability, and single-responsibility, it emphasizes aligning CLI design with Kubernetes' microservice and resource-centric model. Attendees will learn how to create intuitive subcommands and flags for managing key Kubernetes resources like pods, deployments, and services, while incorporating advanced features such as shell completion, contextual help, and robust error handling. The session covers structuring CLI projects for long-term maintainability, managing multi-cluster and namespace contexts, and ensuring secure, auditable interactions. It also introduces innovative NLP-driven enhancements for conversational command parsing and fuzzy matching, making kubectl-like operations more accessible and efficient. Designed for developers and DevOps engineers, the talk offers real-world insights into crafting scalable, human-centric Kubernetes CLIs that streamline complex workflows and elevate the developer experience in modern cloud-native environments.

Event-Driven Autoscaling in Kubernetes with KEDA by Richa Mishra

KEDA, a CNCF project, extends Kubernetes scaling beyond CPU and memory by enabling event-driven autoscaling. From RabbitMQ queues to Prometheus queries and Kafka lag, KEDA unlocks powerful scaling scenarios for modern workloads. In this session, we’ll explore how KEDA works and dive into a live demo showcasing Kafka consumer scaling, highlighting how it simplifies building responsive and efficient cloud-native applications.
