Kubernetes: Beyond the Basics hosted by VMware (REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED)

You know how to build containers and know what a pod is. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn more about and get hands-on experience with interacting with Kubernetes. In particular, we will look at:

Kubernetes networking
Organizing resources in clusters and namespaces
Storage and stateful applications
Dynamic application configuration
“One-off” and scheduled workloads
Security

Prerequisites:

Laptop with the latest version of Chrome or Firefox
Linux concepts and command line proficiency
General networking proficiency
Basic Familiarity with Docker container management and creation
Familiarity with Kubernetes concepts such as Pods, Services and Deployments
Knowledge of kubectl and the ability to deploy simple applications and to examine application events and logs

Sharing of Personal Information with Sponsors In order to facilitate networking and business relationships at the event, you may choose to visit a third partyʼs virtual booth or to access sponsored content. You are never required to visit third party booths or to access sponsored content. When visiting a booth (e.g. by clicking on a third partyʼs logo in the Solutions Showcase or exhibitor directory, and any actions within the booth thereafter including viewing resources), when accessing sponsored sessions in the Sponsor Theater, or by participating in sponsored activities, the third party will receive some of your registration data. This data includes your first name, last name, title, company, address, email, standard demographics questions (i.e. job function, industry), and details about the sponsored content or resources you interacted with. If you choose to interact with a virtual booth or access sponsored content, you are explicitly consenting to receipt and use of such data by the third-party recipients, which will be subject to their own privacy policies.

This is an on-demand session and will be available for the duration of the event.

One of the biggest advantages Kubernetes has to offer is that it is agnostic to infrastructure and capable of managing diverse workloads running on different compute resources. This allows organizations to take advantage of scalable and cost-efficient cloud resources as well as harness a secure and fully controlled on-premise environment.

Streamlined processes and automation are key for application and operation teams when managing clusters across environments while maintaining security and policy checks.

In this demo you will learn how to:
· Use GitOps model-driven automation to increase reliability and stability across EKS (cloud) and EKS-D (on premise)
· Simplify multi-cluster management with GitOps
· Enable developers to push code to production minutes from Git
· Improve utilization and capacity management through hybrid Kubernetes platforms

Tech utilized: Kubernetes, EKS, EKS-D, Git, LinkerD, GitOps, Weave Kubernetes Platform

Enterprises are moving their applications to the cloud at an unprecedented pace. The pandemic has accelerated this journey and hybrid-multi cloud is now a foundation of modern enterprise architectures. Along the way, you’ve become comfortable optimizing for where, when, and how your applications run. So, why wouldn’t you be equally comfortable using distributed storage that:

• Provides location transparency for all your stateful applications
• Runs anywhere SDS for predictable enterprise-grade resilience, scale, and performance delivered in an application-aware model
• Integrates natively with K8s and your existing workflows

Containerization promises application portability, yet legacy infrastructure relies on traditional snapshot and replication technology to migrate data across locations, becoming a bottleneck for modern DevOps environments.
With distributed storage, you can provision cloud-native, programmable storage when you need it with self-service access and know that your data is instantly available across multiple locations (edge, core, clouds) using our distributed architecture. In this session, you will see distributed storage in action in a K8s environment and learn how to:

• Easily setup and manage persistent volumes using our new Commvault Distributed Storage Operator
• Establish enterprise-grade high availability for stateful applications across regions and zones
• Benefit from the simplicity and efficiency of sharing the same storage across multiple OpenShift and K8s clusters

Modern solutions don’t come from bolt-ons to legacy technology – they come from a foundational architecture rooted in multi-hybrid cloud distribution.

Performance has never been more important than in a cloud-native world. Cloud-hosted resources cost money and a slow-loading application can cause a suboptimal ROI. Have you taken the time to tune your Kubernetes ingress controller and proxy? Many organizations don't until it's absolutely necessary, and most users will typically run a default, out-of-the-box configuration.

In this demo, we benchmark five popular ingress controllers and put them head-to-head against each other with their default configurations:

• Envoy
• HAProxy
• NGINX
• NGINX Inc.
• Traefik

We measure their average requests per second, latency percentiles, and user-level CPU usage; We monitor for any errors that are produced in order to go beyond performance and test reliability. You can verify the results yourself by downloading the GitHub repository and reproducing our tests. Who will come out on top? Watch the demo to find out!

In this demo, we benchmark five popular ingress controllers and put them head-to-head against each other with their default configurations: Envoy, HAProxy, NGINX, NGINX Inc., and Traefik.

With the rise of Kubernetes’ popularity across various use-cases, including edge computing, IoT, 5G, or AI/ML, single-cluster Kubernetes deployments are increasingly becoming an exception rather than the norm. As the number of clusters increases, the management of these clusters and the applications running in them quickly becomes the operators’ final boss.

In this tutorial, we will show you how you can master this challenge with open source platforms developed by Kubermatic: Kubermatic Kubernetes Platform for multi-cluster infrastructure management and KubeCarrier for multi-cluster application deployment and management.

Come and learn how you can use these tools to master the final boss and automate the full lifecycle of complex multi-cluster solutions consisting of applications spread across multiple Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes cluster’s state is ephemeral in nature and the workloads can run on any nodes or pods. There is a set of great tools available for visualizing “current” state of the cluster. But often times, live site incidents are mitigated and root cause analysis is left for later. This becomes particularly challenging for incidents that happen due to various K8s events since these events are only available for one hour on the cluster. After this, the only way to debug what happened is by correlating various logs and timelines from control plane, hence making it harder to root cause (increases MTRR). Sloop provides a one stop shop solution with a single pane of glass by showing historic view of cluster. In this demo, we will be sharing the top real incidents for which we found the root cause in a matter of minutes using Sloop.

Graduated Project Lightning Talk: Using Trace Data for Monitoring & Alerting of Application Health, not Just Debugging - Albert Teoh

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Trace data is ideal for debugging slow or erroneous requests, but how can we find (and be alerted about) these problem “needles” in our “haystack” of requests within our constellation of services and endpoints? A proposal of aggregating trace data into metrics is presented; identifying statistically significant problems such as a consistently slow endpoint, then visualizing these results within Jaeger UI or Grafana.

First Principles of Cloud Native Technology - Ronald Petty, RX-M LLC

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Have you ever inherited a system? If you ever feel unclear the system's purpose, it's time to break it down into first principles. With so many Cloud Native tools available it can be overwhelming to decide which tools are most directly solving the problem (or could solve it). We will take a systematic approach to enumerating and grouping core issues and how the related tools solve them. We start with a review of core operating concepts, basic data and network models. From there we contrast OS level solutions to these problems and their challenges. We next enter the Cloud Native layer and see how they leverage OS level concepts to solve these problems. Finally, we compare potential solutions to core issues at different levels (OS or Cloud Native). This talk is focused on how to break down tools into functional areas and contrast them to each other. Leaving this session you will have more techniques to reason about these tools and model solutions.

When backing up cloud-native data, there is no better place than object storage. From databases to data protection applications, the cloud-native landscape is littered with projects that backup data to object storage. With all this mission-critical data being stored in object storage it’s no wonder that it’s become a high-value target for cyber criminals. This, in combination with the rising popularity of cryptocurrency, means that ransomware protection is now a requirement for IT departments of any size.

The S3 protocol has become the de-facto standard API for interacting with Object Storage. It is implemented by nearly all object storage providers and consumed by modern cloud native applications. Thankfully it provides all the primitives needed to develop a robust strategy to protect against ransomware attacks.

In this session, we’ll walk through how backups saved in an S3-compatible can be made ransomware resistant. We’ll show which APIs are used and how to configure the buckets. If you’re considering backing up data in object storage and your data is too valuable to lose, then this talk is for you!

Open Standards: Anchoring Extensibility for Cloud-Native Tooling - Katie Gamanji, CNCF

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Within its 7 years of existence, Kubernetes has been the centerpiece of the Cloud Native landscape, elevating a pluggable system that contributed to the diversification of the entire ecosystem. As a result, multiple areas have developed in the industry, galvanizing solutions for components such as runtime, tracing, metrics, service mesh, and many more. However, to accommodate the expanding space of cloud-native tooling, it was necessary to introduce standardization and guidelines to simplify the interoperability and consumption of these tools. This talk will focus on the evolution of open standards and manifestos within the cloud-native landscape, including OCI, OpenTelemetry, Open Service Mesh, Open Application Model, and many more. Attendees will acquire an understanding of why open standards are pivotal in the path towards the extensibility of cloud-native tooling.

Graduated Project Lightning Talk: Time to Live (TTL) Support for TiKV - Bokang Zhang

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Time to live (TTL) is a beneficial feature for developers to invalidate keys automatically. RocksDB supports TTL natively but with a limitation that all keys should be of the same TTL. This may cause inconvenience for developers who may have the demand to set different TTL for each key. This issue happens to TiKV, a distributed key value database built on RocksDB with Raft. To solve it, TiKV team achieved more flexible TTL support in TiKV level instead of using RocksDB’s TTL. In this talk, Bokang Zhang will walk through the TiKV architecture and talk about how they supported TTL in TiKV by leveraging the hook of RocksDB’s compaction filter and user defined properties, and how they made the disk space of TTL key-values recycled in time.

Managing hundreds or thousands of workloads on a Kubernetes cluster is not an easy task. On top of that, dealing with various workflows to customize and deploy applications can pose even more of a challenge. No single Kubernetes tool is going to solve everyone’s problem, and as an operator you might be forced to use multiple kubernetes tools to manage a single Kubernetes cluster. But then there’s no guarantee that these tools are going to work well together seamlessly.

Carvel is a suite of open-source projects that aims to solve these problems. It provides a set of reliable, single-purpose, composable tools that aid in your application building, packaging, configuration, and deployment to Kubernetes. Carvel enables users to get software installed and keep it updated on a Kubernetes cluster in a secure, scalable, and automated way.

In this session, João Pereira and Helen George will explore how the whole suite of Carvel tools (ytt, kbld, kapp, imgpkg, kapp-controller) work and show how you can integrate them for managing packages on Kubernetes. We’ll look at a few concrete examples where Carvel can be used as a part of your toolchain together with Helm Charts, kustomize and http library.

Inside Kubernetes Networking - Dominik Tornow, Cisco

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes Networking is a core abstraction of Kubernetes: At the core, the Kubernetes Networking Model guarantees that all Kubernetes Pods on a cluster can communicate. On top of the Kubernetes Network Model, Kubernetes provides additional core abstractions, most notably Kubernetes Services and Kubernetes Ingress. Although K8s Networking is an essential aspect of every K8s Cluster and by extension every K8s Application, even experienced K8s users struggle to reason about K8s Networking end-to-end. Using a systems modeling approach, this presentation will provide a holistic mental model of K8s Networking - integrating Pod-to-Pod communication, Pod-to-Service communication, and Ingress, applicable to all CNI implementations. Walk away with a dependable, holistic understanding of the entire network stack, fill in the blanks and connect the dots between Kubernetes Networking, Kubernetes Services, and Kubernetes Ingress.

GIFEE Day hosted by Equinix Metal (REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED)

In 2016, Alex Polvi at CoreOS coined the term “GIFEE” (Google’s Infrastructure for Everyone Else) to describe the benefits unlocked by containers at scale: agility, secure, efficiency, and reliability. Five years in, the cloud native vision has thrived beyond the wildest of imaginations.

So what’s next for GIFEE? In a word: hardware. While cloud native software and management practices have proliferated, “next level” innovation increasingly depends on having specialized hardware in the right place at the right time. At GIFEE Day, we’ll look at the future of cloud native from an infrastructure lens: from provisioning and securing to monitoring and optimizing.

GIFEE Day is complimentary for all KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2021 attendees. We’ll have 8 great livestream sessions from diverse community members hosted by Equinix Metal.

Hey Google, turn off all the lights. Hey Siri, set the thermostat to low. Alexa, restart the nginx deployment. You may have dreamt (or had nightmares) about automating your home and connecting all things smart together. You probably haven't longed for doing all of that on top of Kubernetes. In this session you'll learn why you should and the benefits of having a homelab running Kubernetes. With everyone spending more time at home there has never been a better time to grab an old PC or a few Raspberry Pi's and install K8s. Eddie and Jeff will share their journeys of deploying Home Assistant, open source home automation software, on top of K3s, a lightweight K8s distribution. They'll cover unique solutions like building Device Plugins and using Node Feature Discovery to use external USB antennas for wireless smart home protocols. Ending with tying all of it together with Helm and using Flux for CICD. If you're looking for a personal project to learn Kubernetes this session is for you.

Sponsored Keynote: Kubernetes as the Control Plane for the Hybrid Cloud - Clayton Coleman, Architect for Kubernetes and OpenShift, Red Hat

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

The history of Kubernetes is one of continual evolution. Starting with a set of simple yet powerful, declarative primitives for automating the deployment and management of cloud native applications, Kubernetes rapidly evolved to support an expanding set of workloads and use cases. More recently Kubernetes has expanded beyond workloads to manage its own underlying infrastructure and Kubernetes native infrastructure services like compute, storage and more. In this session, we will discuss this evolution and look ahead and explore what it would take to make Kubernetes the control plane for the hybrid cloud.

TechDocs: Unlocking the Potential of Engineers' Collective Knowledge - Emma Indal, Spotify

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Emma is an engineer with a big goal: her new service should provide the best developer experience, including well-maintained, discoverable and usable documentation. So she thinks, “Which tool should I use to write my docs?” followed by “How will other engineers find it?” What if she could instead, in one click, get docs generated together with her service when it's created? Documentation that lives in her repository, together with her code. Documentation that becomes discoverable automatically, to all engineers within the organization. Documentation in one single place: Backstage. This talk will guide you through how we fulfilled Emma’s big goal by adopting the “docs like code” approach and developing TechDocs, one of the core features of Backstage. It will also walk you through why we decided to open source this successful internal product to remove the friction of writing and discovering technical documentation for all engineers.

Demystifying Cloud Native Concepts for the Business World - Catherine Paganini & Jason Morgan, CNCF Business Value Subcommittee

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

As co-chairs of the CNCF Business Value Subcommittee, Jason Morgan and Catherine Paganini seek to democratize cloud native concepts. Technologists have been talking about these topics for years, yet, for many, the cloud native space is still largely inaccessible. What is a service mesh? How do containers fit in? And how do any of these technologies help my organization achieve its strategic goals?
In this session, Jason and Catherine will talk about their first project: the CNCF Cloud Native Glossary. The glossary explains these concepts in simple terms that anyone can easily understand—no computer science degree required. They'll discuss what motivated them and why they believe that now is the time to spread the cloud native gospel to a broader audience.

The Road to Interoperability in Cloud Native Continuous Delivery - Kara de la Marck, CloudBees & Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

The emergence of cloud native has resulted in tremendous advances in enabling organizations to develop new services and make them available to end users. In addition, new paradigms such as Continuous Delivery (CD) allow organisations to do this much faster than before, empowering them to go to market ahead of the competition. Despite its many advantages, the cloud native CD ecosystem has its challenges. This session will discuss issues arising from the lack of interoperability across proliferating cloud native CD technologies. We will look at end user case studies, including existing integration initiatives such as that between Tekton and Jenkins X. However, these initiatives are localised to the projects involved and do not address the challenges holistically. We will highlight the necessity, and greater sustainability, of a holistic approach to interoperability in the CD ecosystem and invite attendees to join community efforts.

Evaluating Business Risk for Open Source Cloud Native Projects - Dawn Foster, VMware

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Most business decisions boil down to an assessment of risk and making tradeoffs. We should all be thinking about risks relative to how we’re using cloud native open source projects within our business. If we build our business on top of an open source technology, we want it to be as low of a risk as possible. This talk will: * Compare the risk between projects under neutral foundations vs. those owned by individual companies. * Provide details about how governance impacts risk relative to leadership selection, decision-making processes, and communication. * Evaluate business risk in terms of contributors and organizations to determine the level of risk associated with individuals or organizations leaving the project. * Look at how security and release processes can impact risk. The audience will walk away with practical advice about how to assess risk and evaluate projects for your organization while also learning about ways to decrease risk in your own projects.

Protecting Ourselves from CNCFgate. Software Supply Chain Security at CNCF - Practices, and Tools - Andres Vega & Emily Fox, CNCF SIG-Security & Jonathan Meadows, Cyber Security at Citi

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

As the complexity of our software systems grows – and they ingest more and more dependencies to deliver their functionality – the supply chain becomes more complex, and thus more difficult to secure. The industry is forming a consensus around a baseline set of properties for a secure software supply chain, yet these are not enough to protect against some of the high-profile attacks we have seen in recent years. In some cases they may not even have made detection easier. The industry needs to do better, we need to do better. An attacker who compromises a software supply chain can greatly increase the blast radius of their attack to all eventual users of the system. In some cases the exploits are overlooked or unintended bugs; some others have been known to be more deliberate and insidious (most recently, SunBurst/Solarigate).

This presentation shares the experience of the CNCF SIG-Security Supply Chain Working Group with particular attention to intricacies and sharp edges of the practice of creating and maintaining a tightly-secured software supply chain.

Dedicated Infrastructure in a Multitenant World - Carlos Sanchez, Adobe

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Running multitenant Kubernetes clusters is challenging, particularly when different tenants require their own dedicated infrastructure. At Adobe Experience Manager Cloud Service we built solutions to provide customers with their own dedicated infrastructure, such as ips, DNS, VPN connectivity,... while running most services in multitenant Kubernetes clusters. We will share how we built our solution making extensive use of Envoy to run networking tunnels between Kubernetes pods and customer dedicated infrastructure, enforcing encryption and mutual authentication using certificates. This allows, for example, different pods to have their own dedicated egress ip instead of the cluster's, or connections from pods to multiple customer on-premise services using VPN. The solution is provisioned automatically using Terraform, Terragrunt and other services.

Cloud Native Distributed Event Streaming from TiKV - Zixiong Liu, PingCAP

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Data processing is evolving to be stream-oriented to enable interconnection between subsystems or microservices, but it could be challenging for distributed data stores, such as TiKV, to stream data effectively. Zixiong Liu and his team have successfully achieved distributed event streaming from TiKV with low computational cost, low latency, and elimination of single points of failure. Now it is possible to produce a stream of updates from TiKV, which, with suitable deduplication, are ordered by their commit timestamps. In his talk, Zixiong Liu will talk about the techniques used in the design of TiKV that facilitate data streaming, and the implementation of the distributed computation performed on the exported TiKV data so that the data can be converted into formats suitable for consumption by third party data solutions.

We Didn’t Start the Fire: Communication Breakdowns and How to Prevent Them - Ian Coldwater, Twilio & Kat Cosgrove, JFrog

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

When the Kubernetes project was smaller and fewer people used it, core maintainers could assume shared context, and we didn't have to think about communication as much. We've grown a lot since, but we haven't always adjusted these assumptions. We don't all know each other anymore, and can no longer rely on everyone sharing the same context or concerns. With more growth, communication becomes more critical.

Design decisions and the way we communicate about them are affected by the assumptions we make about each other. If we aren't careful, problems can arise for everyone. The Dockershim deprecation conflagration is one example of how this can go wrong, but it wasn't the first or the last communication breakdown of its kind. Let's look at this history together, learn from it, and figure out how we can prevent such breakdowns in the future.

It's on all of us to work together to address this. We can do better when we come together, communicate more, and check our assumptions. We've got this.

CloudEvents - Looking Beyond Event Delivery - Remi Cattiau, Nuxeo

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

While CloudEvents helps in the delivery of events from a producer to a destination, when considering the entire lifecycle of an event there's a lot more to consider. For example, how does someone discover which events can be generated and by which producer? What transport mechanisms for event delivery are available? How does someone subscribe to receive events? Today there's no consistent mechanism to answer these questions. This session will explore how the CloudEvents project is working to solve these issues by providing a quick overview of the new specifications being developed - and, of course, give an update on the CloudEvents specification itself.

Using a Distributed Key-Value Store - Nick Cameron & Andy Lok, PingCAP

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Key-value stores are well-known and the concept is simple, but there are myriad differences in the details of different stores. How you choose and use a key-value store in your projects is dictated by these details. TiKV is a distributed and transactional key-value store, which makes it massively scalable and a great choice if you have huge volumes of data and need low-latency access with low tolerance for inconsistency. In this talk, Nick Cameron and Di’an Luo will walk through building an application around TiKV using a language-native client. They will delve into the features, architecture, and limitations of TiKV, and the design principles and APIs of the clients. The talk focuses on the practical aspects of building an application using TiKV, so that you can easily leverage this technology in your own projects. TiKV and its clients are open source and have an open and active community; TiKV is a graduated CNCF project.

Secrets Store CSI Driver: Keeping Secrets Secret - Anish Ramasekar, Microsoft & Tommy Murphy, Google

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Applications running on Kubernetes require access to sensitive information (passwords, SSH keys and authentication tokens). But how do you configure your applications when the source of truth for these secrets is an external secret store? What if you need to store, retrieve and perform zero touch rotation of these secrets securely? Meet the Secrets Store CSI Driver, a sig-auth subproject providing a simple way to retrieve secrets from enterprise-grade external stores such as Azure Key Vault, Google Secret Manager and HashiCorp Vault. In this session, Anish and Tommy will demonstrate how to use the Secrets Store CSI Driver to mount and rotate sensitive information from external secrets stores in the Kubernetes application. They will also discuss trade-offs of the CSI driver versus other solutions to accessing external secret stores and how CRDs are used to make pod portability across Kubernetes environments possible.

CERN's 1500 Drupal Websites on Kubernetes: Sailing With Operators - Konstantinos Samaras-Tsakiris & Rajula Vineet Reddy, CERN

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Follow the learning journey of junior developers towards a Kubernetes-native SaaS and hopefully get some ideas for your next (or first!) design. This talk is the development chronicle of a service provisioning Drupal websites that are CERN's public face, to replace the ageing physical infrastructure and reduce dependency on homebrew components. The presenters give their junior engineer's perspective, thrust into a world of Microservices, Observability and Operators. They will walk you through the design implementing the specific requirements of a service that targets varied user groups and is supported by a small team of engineers. Contrary to the old website management system that was a standalone application, now Operators play this role, leveraging Kubernetes as a common API to control different kinds of resources.

Multi-Cluster Service Deployments with Operators and KubeCarrier - Rastislav Szabó, Kubermatic

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Complex application services consisting of multiple interconnected components can benefit from deployment in multiple Kubernetes clusters: Examples include for instance running the application core at a cloud provider and the database with sensitive data in a on-premises cluster or running computational-intensive tasks in a cluster with specialized hardware resources (e.g. GPUs) at the same time. This approach however brings several challenges. How can we interconnect the clusters so that the applications in different clusters can communicate with each other easily? How to allow for multi-tenancy and easily spin up multiple instances of such services in the same clusters? In this talk, you will learn how such a deployment may look like with the help of Kubernetes operators, the KubeCarrier service hub and the Submariner cross-cluster connectivity provider.

How DoD Uses K8s and Flux to Achieve Compliance and Deployment Consistency - Michael Medellin & Gordon Tillman, Department of Defense

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Like many other organizations, the DoD also started the journey to K8s and had its own challenges. Due to the nature of DoD systems, there are applications that are deployed in a more relaxed environment such as AWS GovCloud and also in a more restricted air-gapped environments with no internet or external connectivity. In the beginning, it was all about manual deployment and operations. By introducing Helm and Flux, DoD moved to a more declarative model where everything is version controlled and deployed by Flux thereby reducing manual operations, improving deployment consistency and also bringing more compliance with regard to change management and application life cycle. This session will walk through the migration steps, what it takes to operate Flux in an air-gapped environment and how we achieved parity when applications are deployed to environments with different constraints.

SIG Multicluster Intro - Paul Morie, Red Hat & Jeremy Olmsted-Thompson, Google

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

SIG-Multicluster is focused on solving common challenges related to the management of many Kubernetes clusters, across multiple cloud providers (so-called hybrid cloud) and applications deployed across many clusters. In the introduction, we'll give attendees an overview of the current status of the multi-cluster problem space in Kubernetes and of the SIG. We’ll discuss current thinking around best practices for multi-cluster deployments and what it means to be part of a ClusterSet. Then we’ll highlight current SIG projects, focused use cases, and ideas for what’s next. Most importantly, we’ll provide information on how you can get involved either as a contributor or as a user who wants to provide feedback about the SIG's current efforts and future direction. Bring your questions, problems, and ideas - help us expand the multi-cluster Kubernetes landscape.

Multi-Tenancy in Kubernetes: How We Avoided Clusters Sprawl With Capsule - Dario Tranchitella, CLASTIX & Maksim Fedotov, Wargaming.net

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes is great when you have to deal with it as is and plays well with isolating workloads and limiting resources due to its primitives as ResourceQuota, LimitRange, NetworkPolicy, Namespace, and so on. But is it enough? Can you create a real isolated multi-tenant environment in it? With our experience with many production environments, we discovered it's not entirely. That is the reason why Capsule, an open-source Kubernetes Operator for multi-tenancy was born. Expanding the authentication Kubernetes capabilities, Capsule provides a viable and robust solution to avoid the hyped cluster sprawl while maintaining a native Kubernetes UX. And, last but not least, allowing a BYOD to push compute, storage, and network isolation and avoiding the noisy neighbors' effect. After a brief overview of the project by Dario Tranchitella (maintainer), Max Fedotov will explain how Capsule enhanced the operations and supercharged the provisioning mechanism for their k8s cluster at Wargaming.net

Turning Your Cloud Native Apps Inside Out With a Service Mesh - Adam Zwickey & Liam White, Tetrate

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Cloud native best practices have come a long way from the mid-2010’s when adopters of cloud native patterns were utilizing in-app libraries to manage concerns around load balancing, circuit breaking, service discovery, etc. Many adopters of modern cloud platforms have now realized greater agility and ease of use when those primitives are separated away from the application and managed independently in a cloud platform. This talk will review the pitfalls of those earlier application patterns with an assessment of why we've moved on and, most importantly, the benefits of now operating with an Envoy-based Service Mesh to help you manage your environment and enhance your development practices. It will also address how using a service mesh will help you migrate to this newer development style faster and safer to better enhance your organization's delivery times for updates to products and services.

Lessons Learned from Operating ETCD - Pierre Zemb, OVHcloud

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

OVHcloud is the biggest European cloud provider. From dedicated servers to Managed Kubernetes, from VMware® based Hosted Private Cloud to OpenStack-based Public Cloud, we have over 1.4 million customers worldwide. Because of our Kubinception design(using Kubernetes to run Kubernetes), we are putting hundreds of customers in an ETCD cluster. This design is great to easily spawn control-planes for customers, but it is also putting a lot of pressure on ETCD. To keep it healthy while growing up constantly, we had to learn many things about how ETCD works under the hood and how we can operate it efficiently. In this talk, you will have the insights of how we are operating our ETCD clusters. We will tell you our journey to use ETCD, from our observability to deployments and management, what did work and what did not.

Zero Pain Microservice Development and Deployment with Dapr and KubeVela - Hongchao Deng, Alibaba Cloud

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Developing and deploying microservices could be cumbersome on Kubernetes as developers need to manage deployment configurations of the services per se, MySQL, Kafka, Redis, etc. Those config files are complex and time consuming to learn and write. It becomes a huge burden to developers as they want to focus on business logic, not underlying platform details. In this talk, we will introduce how Alibaba abstracts away infrastructure details and provides consistent experience across various deployment environments by leveraging Dapr and KubeVela. In Alibaba, many developers can now focus only on app code, and the microservice components and their environments will all be setup and managed by the platform with sidecar based approach.

Houston, We’ve Got a Problem! : How to Debug your Pipeline in Tekton - Vibhav Bobade & Vincent Demeester, Red Hat

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

It’s always been nice to have CI/CD as a part of your infrastructure. Nothing better than being able to automate your workflows and have jobs done for you in a timely manner. It would be a shame if your jobs/pipelines break now would it. Now all you need to do is sit and take apart the individual components of your pipeline and figure out where you went wrong. We have all been there. Only if we could debug our Pipelines :) As common as task debugging is in the programming world, in the CI/CD world, it is ridden with complexities of the infrastructure and reiterative approaches which kill time. With Tekton, it is possible to debug your pipelines on the go without stopping/restarting your PipelineRun. Tekton is a Kubernetes based, lightweight, serverless, and an easy to manage CI/CD solution which a user can use to create as well as debug their PipelineRuns at a Step level to understand what is wrong with their pipeline providing a more complete CI/CD solution.

Ghosts in the Runtime: Who Ate My Capabilities and Other Mysteries - Laurent Bernaille & Eric Mountain, Datadog

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

In the last 3 years Datadog migrated most of its workloads to dozens of Kubernetes clusters, many of which consist of thousands of nodes each. At this scale, our engineers encounter strange and surprising bugs on a regular basis. Some of the most difficult bugs to investigate are those related to the kubelet and its interactions with the container runtime.

In this talk we will share some of our favorite investigations on this front, such as the container image that only worked when built on our laptops, rather than by our CI.

CSI Volume Attacks – The SRE Strikes Back - Hendrik Land, NetApp

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Container Storage Interface (CSI) has made it easy for stateful workloads to consume storage - but does it protect your data from unauthorized access? The CSI standard only orchestrates the creation of volumes, snapshots or clones. How do you ensure that neither other workloads in the same Kubernetes cluster nor someone outside the cluster can access your data? You will learn the inherent security models provided by Kubernetes as well as additional configurations you can and should apply. Beyond concepts and architecture, a series of short demos will cover topics such as: - Security of Persistent Volume Claims and Persistent Volumes throughout their lifecycle - Pod Security Policies and volume types - File system permissions on your volumes - Securing common storage protocols such as iSCSI and NFS - Securing CSI drivers in your cluster

Keynote: How Deutsche Telekom Technik Built Das Schiff for Sailing the Cloud Native Seas - Vuk Gojnic, Squad Lead, Container & Cloud-native Engine, Deutsche Telekom Technik

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

In mid 2019, Deutsche Telekom Technik started its cloud native journey. We quickly realized our task was: "How do you provide and manage hundreds or even thousands of Kubernetes clusters that are distributed over hundreds of locations with only open source software and a 10 person dedicated SRE team?" “Das Schiff” was born to run telco workloads including 5G Core, remote 5G UPFs, ORAN, MEC across all of these locations.

Sailing in cloud native sea, we have found many wonderful communities from which to make our port of call. The marriage of ClusterAPI and FluxCD gave us the ability to drive automation through GitOps, but this time for infrastructure management at 5G scale. Bare metal Kubernetes is also core to our journey, with many small nodes for horizontal scalability to run cloud native network functions (CNFs). Deutsche Telekom has also found a home giving back to the community, through the CNF Working Group, helping make networking cloud native. Our ultimate aim is to bring our learnings and results into generalized and consumable formats for the community to build an open platform for 5G and cloud native telcos.

What Do You Mean K8s Doesn't Have Users? How Do I Manage User Access Then? - Jussi Nummelin, Mirantis Inc.

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

What if I told you that once you give someone client certificate access to your Kubernetes cluster you can't take it away again? It's true. Once you create an authentication key and give it access to the cluster, there's no way to revoke it. That person has access forever. And that's just one of the weird things about Kubernetes Authentication and Authorization. In this session, you will learn about how Kubernetes handles users and permissions, and how to set up your cluster to do it more efficiently and securely. You'll learn: How access keys work How permissions work How to segment your cluster for greater security How Role-Based Access Control limits what individual users can see and do How to use OpenID Connect to get around the issue of permanent access without having to manage hundreds or thousands of individual Roles You will leave this session ready to create a more secure and convenient way to manage your cluster.

Building the Multi-Cluster Data Layer - Chirag Narang, Yugabyte

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Getting the data layer right is critical to building a cloud-native application. The global accessibility of persistent data across multi-cluster Kubernetes environments is the biggest challenge for building stateful workloads. As organizations rush to scale their infrastructure on multi-cluster Kubernetes, they often struggle with database deployments. Many traditional databases have not worked at the scale needed; either they are not horizontally scalable or highly available and do not provide strong consistency across multiple clusters. We’re here to show you that it’s easy to deploy a distributed database across multiple clusters. In this talk, join Chirag Narang, Product Manager from YugabyteDB to learn: Cross cluster deployment challenges in distributed databases How practitioners can adopt a service mesh to run a distributed SQL database across clusters How to solve global consistency, scalability, high availability, and geo-distribution challenges with YugabyteDB

Achieving the Tipping Point for Open-source Software: Making the Business Value Obvious for Upper Management - Joshua Grose, Splunk

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Cloud-native has been taking the world by storm. However, I'm only a recent convert, having begun my tech career by selling against open-source software. As I began working with more complex organizations and applications, I started to see areas where OSS actually became a critical component to delivering an overall solution. Jeff Lawson, CEO of Twilio, has coined this as the "digital supply chain". And it makes sense, the advent of cloud-native development presented engineering teams with new challenges that many of their vendor-provided solutions just weren't prepared to overcome. Making matters worse, at many companies, management didn't have a grasp on the severity of this disconnect.

This is where open-source came in to fill the gaps that were created. Open-source software consumption and participation was on a tremendous upswing even prior to the pandemic, with studies showing that 68% of companies planned to use more OSS than in the previous year. Additionally, Github found that at the start of the shelter-in-place lockdowns, individual users created 40% more open-source projects than in previous periods. In spite of these data points, you're still facing scrutiny and being asked to provide business justification when evaluating OSS as a possible solution for your technical challenges.

This session will give you the inside scoop on how to position and align your OSS recommendation with business value so that all stakeholders hop on board. And for leaders, you'll see first-hand why OSS is preferrable in many instances, and a framework for how technology recommendations should be presented. As someone that has spent years convincing folks not to use OSS and then to definitely use it, I possess the real-world experience to show you what you're up against.

Putting Chaos Into Continuous Delivery to Increase Application Resiliency - Juergen Etzlstorfer, Dynatrace & Karthik Satchitanand, Mayadata

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Continuous Delivery practices have evolved significantly with the cloud-native paradigm. GitOps & Chaos Engineering are at the forefront of this new CD approach, with an ever-increasing pattern involving Git-backed pipeline definitions that implement “chaos stages” in pre-prod environments to gauge SLO compliance. In this talk, maintainers of the Keptn (Juergen) & LitmusChaos (Karthik) CNCF sandbox projects will discuss how you can construct pipelines that include chaos experimentation (mapped to declarative hypothesis around application steady-state) while simulating real-world load, and implement quality gates to ensure resilient applications are deployed into production. All this - in a GitOps native manner. They will also demonstrate how you can include chaos tests to your existing CD pipelines without the need of rewriting them.

From Tweet to BadIdea: Creating an Embeddable Kubernetes Style API Server - Jason DeTiberus, Equinix Metal

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) have made building Kubernetes-style declarative APIs easy. However they depend on an existing Kubernetes cluster, which can lead to difficult bootstrapping issues when building infrastructure management tooling. Would it be possible to remove the Kubernetes cluster dependency by piecing together the components that Kubernetes itself uses to implement the features needed to support CRDs? This talk explores the process of attempting to do just that through the process of building a minimal and embeddable Kubernetes style API Server with CRD support.

The Art of Hiding Yourself - Lorenzo Fontana, Sysdig

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes security is an ongoing effort today. In this talk we look at how a hacker would attempt to remain anonymous while compromising a Kubernetes cluster. Seconds after a node or a cluster are compromised, the bad actors start to take measures to make sure their hard work can profit for a while. What do they do? They start hiding their traces. Depending on the attack vector, they will need to hide their traces at multiple levels. They will begin by asking themselves some questions: - Are there are audit log mechanisms? - Kubernetes audit log is enabled? Can I tamper it? - There is deep packet inspection? Can I tamper it? - How to hide processes, containers, tasks to the owners? - There’s any non-conventional place where I can put files? - What about hiding my files in the kubernetes etcd? - How can I hide the network connections I make? In this talk we are going to discuss the broader picture of how the second part of an attack is handled by a bad actor.

Hacking into Kubernetes Security for Beginners - Ellen Körbes, Tilt & Tabitha Sable, Datadog

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

While Kubernetes can be challenging to newcomers, Kubernetes security overwhelms even the most seasoned professionals. It's a big challenge, so where should you even start? In this talk, Ellen and Tabitha will present an overview of concerns in Kubernetes security. And not only that: they’ll exploit issues along the way! Topics covered will include RBAC, admission control, and vulnerabilities in Kubernetes, Linux, your code, and underlying dependencies. You'll learn a mental framework, see its real-world impact, and leave with the knowledge you need to be able to “look it up, baby."

BuildKit CLI for kubectl: A New Way to Build Container Images - Daniel Hiltgen & Patrick Devine, VMware

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

The Dockerfile is a tremendously popular format used to build container images. Various projects exist that focus on CI for Dockerfiles inside a kubernetes cluster, but what about developers and their inner loop? In this talk we’ll introduce a new CLI plugin optimized for developers which implements a familiar UX for building container images. It utilizes a powerful open source component called BuildKit to build Dockerfiles into images directly inside your Kubernetes cluster. When you build images, they are immediately available on the cluster for testing without requiring pushing to an external registry, providing an extremely efficient inner loop for development. The builder supports the two most popular container runtimes–containerd and dockerd–and will auto-detect the correct runtime in most cases. kubectl build -t myimage:latest -f Dockerfile .

Running Cache-Efficient Builds at Scale on Kubernetes with BuildKit - Gautier Delorme, Apple Inc.

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Many organizations already deploy services to Kubernetes, but to fully transition from bare-metal to ephemeral infrastructure they need a cache-efficient way to run build systems on top of Kubernetes (e.g. to build docker images). In this talk, Gautier Delorme will demonstrate how to use rootless and daemonless BuildKit to run secure, fast and cache-efficient builds in Kubernetes. As an operator, you will learn how to leverage BuildKit caching mechanisms and Kubernetes Scheduler features to scale your build systems and make sure builds always run as fast as they should. As a developer, you will learn how to write secure and cache-efficient Dockerfile using new features (e.g. RUN --mount flag) to produce docker images or any other type of artifacts.

Building a Community: How Cortex Went from a Vendor Project to a Community - Goutham Veeramachaneni, Grafana Labs

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

In 2018, Cortex was largely vendor-driven, and almost no one other than maintainers could run it. Its docs were lacking; you had to read the code instead. While that might be acceptable for a new project, it's not for wide adoption. Over the last few years, since joining the CNCF, we have put a focus on building a vibrant community. It was a long and arduous journey, but we're very happy with the healthy community we have today, with maintainers from 5 different companies and a 5x increase in activity on the Cortex Slack and GitHub! While our _public_ adopters document lists more than 15 companies, with several providing Cortex as a service, we have a lot more companies running it, from international banks and Fortune 50 enterprises to small startups. In this talk, we will walk through the key changes we made and how our philosophy on community-building helped us thrive and led to fruitful collaboration with sibling projects Thanos and Prometheus.

Akri: Making IoT Devices Accessible to Your Edge Kubernetes Clusters - Kate Goldenring, Microsoft & Jiří Appl, Microsoft

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

As Kubernetes solutions move to the edge, nodes are taken out of the homogeneity of the cloud and put in environments surrounded by an array of IoT devices such as sensors and cameras. These devices are often too small to run Kubernetes, so how can they be dynamically leveraged by Kubernetes workloads? Akri is an extensible open-source Kubernetes-native project that aims to provide a solution. Akri provides an abstraction layer, removing the work of finding, utilizing, and monitoring the availability of IoT devices. We’ll dive into how Akri can discover IoT devices, advertise them as resources in your cluster, and then automatically deploy workloads to utilize those devices. Akri handles the dynamic appearance and disappearance of devices and automatically creates services, removing the need for an application to track the state of devices, pods, or nodes. Come learn about Akri and how it can be leveraged to build a more connected edge with Kubernetes!

Automated Machine Learning Performance Evaluation - Alejandro Saucedo, The Institute for Ethical AI & Machine Learning

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

## Overview Deployed production machine learning models come on different sizes, shapes and flavours when deployed in cloud native infrastructure - each with varying hardware (and software) requirements. Whether it is RAM, CPU, GPU or Disk Space, there won't be an optimal global configuration for all your models' training and inference. In this talk we will cover the motivations and concepts around general benchmarking in software, as well as the key nuanced requirements to leverage these concepts in machine learning systems. We will learn about the theory behind benchmarking specifically on machine learning models, as well as the parameters that need to be accounted for, including latency, throughput, spikes, performance percentiles, outliers, between others. We will dive into a hands on example, where we will benchmark a model across multiple parameters to identify optimal performance on a specific hardware using Argo, Kubernetes and Seldon Core.

Resource Requests and Limits Under the Hood: The Journey of a Pod Spec - Kohei Ota, Hewlett Packard Enterprise & Kaslin Fields, Google

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Let's learn how resource requests and limits work by illustrating what is really happening inside of your cluster - literally! CNCF Ambassadors Kohei Ota and Kaslin Fields will use fun hand-drawn artwork to walk you through understanding what your cluster is really doing when you set a resource restriction in Kubernetes. Engineers and their applications are going through a transformation. From running apps on a machine or VM directly, to running it in containers, and then to container orchestration via Kubernetes. During this journey, it is easy to become disconnected from what’s really happening on the underlying infrastructure. By learning what Kubernetes is doing under the hood, you can get a deep understanding for how Kubernetes manages compute resources. This talk will cover what happens, starting from setting the restriction on a Kubernetes Pod, then how these parameters will be delivered from the Pod spec to the Linux kernel layer through kubelet and CRI/OCI runtimes.

Compliance Beyond Security: a Cloud Native GDPR Implementation Experience - Johan Tordsson, Elastisys AB

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Regulatory compliance has traditionally been focused on core system aspects such as availability, data integrity, and overall IT system security. Compliance has been achieved through various processes and (security) tooling. With recent evolution of the regulatory landscape (including the European GDPR, Californian CCPA, and Japanese APPI legislations), there is a stronger focus on end user rights to data, in particular the right to be forgotten. This session will discuss the technical challenges of this movement and give some recommendations for how to address these issues in a cloud native setting. This includes how to handle (and timely remove) data across the full stack, including logs, backups, and any other sort of stateful resources.

Why Use Managed Kubernetes?: It's Dangerous to Go Alone! - Seth McCombs, Workday

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Seth will cover common misconceptions and dispel myths around the usage of managed Kubernetes services. Without focus on specific services in particular, more of a push towards acceptance of managed services, especially if you're an engineer or leader that is considering Kubernetes but don't know how to get started. When discussing a managed Kubernetes service, responses have range from “why?” or “managed services aren’t as powerful” or the all too common reference to "vendor lock in" - often leaving those on the receiving end with a feeling of being lesser. Viewers will walk away from this session with more acceptance of managed services, and realize that using a managed service doesn't make one a bad engineer. There are many benefits to be had adoption of Kubernetes, and it's not a contest to prove how much you can build. If you have a small team and want to use Kubernetes, then a managed service can be the first step or only step towards Kubernetes usage.

Kubernetes on Windows - A Journey - Jerry Lozano, RX-M LLC

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes is almost always used in a Linux environment. Tutorials and examples, regardless of hardware platform, always run some distribution of Linux. Yet since 1.14, Kubernetes worker nodes are actively supported on Windows. This session describes one developer’s journey of designing, developing, installing, and deploying Kubernetes on modern Windows Server. The need for microservice implementations on Windows is just as valid as it is on Linux. Windows Server is hosted on at least 3-times the number of servers in use in the world and market share is still increasing (Statista). Most of these servers run enterprise applications that must meet the requirements for scalability, availability, and maintainability that any modern application faces. This session describes the benefits of hosting Kubernetes nodes on Windows Server, similarities and differences from execution on Linux, and lessons learned when implementing a microservice application with the Windows infrastructure.

Live Experiments with K8s Applications: Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them - Fabio Oliveira & Srinivasan Parthasarathy, IBM Research

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Your K8s apps are instrumented for observability. You are using ingress controllers/service meshes in your production K8s cluster and can shift traffic between different versions of your app. You wish to take your CI/CD to the next level by introducing metrics-driven automated rollouts using live experiments like canary, A/B, and A/B/n comparisons. What could go wrong? We demonstrate how subtle differences in the design of the experiment---how metrics are collected, queried, and used; the traffic shifting policy; the number of requests sent to different versions during the experiment and its duration; and when/how it is terminated---can lead to dramatically different outcomes, and in turn, directly impact the version of the app chosen to run in production. We also discuss simple and statistically effective remedies for the above problem, so that experiments become repeatable and their outcomes are more accurate and trustworthy.

Improving the Impact of Diversity Initiatives in Africa - Abubakar Siddiq Ango, GitLab

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Africa as a whole is making giant strides in terms of technology adoption but job and educational opportunities remain scarce. Not everyone has the chance to be in the right place at the right time to access these opportunities.. Thankfully, alot of organizations have been creating new initiatives and programs to help Africans better access these opportunities. Despite these new intiatives, the impact has been limited. It will take more time and continued investment for them to generate a meaningful impact. . Some of these programs also struggle from a lack of experienced leadership, an inability to target the right audience, and unreasonable expectations. In this talk, Abubakar will be sharing how we can improve the success of outreach in Africa by approaching Africa as a continent and not as a single entity, how to reach the right audience, and how to get traction for your diversity programs.

Optimizing Knowledge Distillation Training With Volcano - Ti Zhou, Baidu & William Wang, Huawei

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Knowledge distillation is a classic model compression technology, which is a way of migrating knowledge from a complex model (Teacher) to another lightweight model (Student) to achieve model compression. EDL use Volcano as scheduler to deploy the Teacher model to an online Kubernetes GPU inference card cluster, and use the resources of the online inference GPU card to increase the throughput of the teacher model in knowledge distillation. At the same time, because the Teacher model can be flexibly scheduled by Volcano, there is no need to worry about task failures caused by preemption of online instances during peak hours. You can also deploy the Teacher model to cluster fragmented resources, or low-usage resources such as k40, to make full use of the cluster's idle and fragmented resources. In this lecture, we will explain in detail how to use Volcano to optimize elastic distillation training and give the corresponding benchmark data.

"Extend All The Things!": Cloud Provider Edition - Joe Betz, Google

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

Kubernetes integrates with a ton of Cloud Provider platforms, and as part of the "Cloud Provider Extraction" effort, all platform integration code in the main Kubernetes code base is being moved out of into separate repos. To make this possible, extensibility points have been introduced that create interesting ways to extend Kubernetes, including Cloud Controller Managers, Credential Provider Extensions and the Konnectivity server and agent.

Learn the details from an engineer who helped bring the CRD and webhook extensibility mechanisms to GA, and who leads the adoption of extracted Cloud Providers at Google. How do these new extensibility points work? Why are they important? What can you do with them? We will discuss each extension point in detail, covering best practices learned as we migrated cloud providers to them.

The Cloud Provider abstraction delivers cross platform portability. We’ll close with details on how you (attn: tooling authors, cloud operators) can get involved with the community effort martialed by SIG Cloud Provider.

CRI-O Still Loves Kubernetes - Sasha Grunert, Peter Hunt, Urvashi Mohnani & Mrunal Patel, Red Hat

LINK TO VIDEO RECORDING

In Kubernetes 1.20, support for the dockershim was deprecated, leaving many wondering what will take its place. Wonder no longer: CRI-O is a container runtime written exclusively for Kubernetes, and is ready to take the dockershim’s place. In addition to being a standard component for deploying secure and stable Kubernetes clusters, CRI-O has the unique advantage of being able to tailor its behavior to the needs of the Kubelet. In this talk, the maintainers of CRI-O will provide an update about the latest feature developments, as well as live demonstrating typical real world use cases around them. Join the CRI-O maintainers as they walk through the latest improvements in communication with the Kubelet under load, container stats reporting, user namespaces, and seccomp profile generation, as well as a general project update. After this session, you should know more about how CRI-O works in action and why it’s the perfect choice for your Kubernetes cluster!
