Operator Day hosted by Canonical (Complimentary Registration Required)

Operators simplify everyday application management on Kubernetes. Learn how to use them, how to create them in Python, and how to evolve from configuration management to application management. We’re working to create a community-driven collection of operators for everything that’s integrated and tested everywhere.
The sessions will repeat in 3 time zone friendly blocks, for Asia, EMEA and Americas. Each block starts with a keynote introduction with Mark Shuttleworth, then leads attendees through a hands-on training. Along the way we'll dive into K8s, operators, Kubeflow, K8s at the Edge, and a variety of other topics. The session wraps up with community discussion on model-driven operations and the role of devs, ops, and SREs in cloud applications of the future. You can join at any time, but we recommend you pick the most convenient slot and follow it from start to finish so that you make the most out of each session.

Asia: 14:00-18:00 CST (07:00 - 11:00 CEST)
EMEA: 13:00-17:00 BST (14:00 - 18:00 CEST)
Americas: 11:00-15:00 PST (20:00 - 00:00 CEST)

Special feature: 18:00-19:30 CEST ONLY
Mark Shuttleworth and Ken Sipe (distributed application engineer and internationally renowned software engineering speaker) co-host a community session on building a model-driven operations manifesto.

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.

Charting our Kubernetes and Cloud Native Journey: Past, Present and Future (Roundtable) hosted by Datadog (Complimentary Registration Required)

Engineers at Datadog use Kubernetes on a daily basis to deploy their workloads to production. Datadog’s Kubernetes infrastructure includes dozens of clusters, hundreds of nodes per cluster, hundreds of thousands of pods, and it runs on several clouds.

Just as sailors once used the stars as a guide we too can use measurement of our successes and failures to chart a course. Understanding history will help us predict the speed and course of Kubernetes and beyond.

This roundtable will bring together engineers who work on building our own production infrastructure and those who are responsible for building Datadog’s observability features for Kubernetes.

They will discuss their takes on the cloud native ecosystem today, the Kubecon EU 2021 announcements, and sessions they are excited about and what they believe will be the key changes for Kubernetes in the next 12 months.

Hack my Application with Snyk, Docker, & AWS (SOLD OUT - WAITLIST AVAILABLE Complimentary Registration Required)

Modern applications are built using modern DevOps processes, with frequent integration and deployments happening several times a day. To enable pace and scale, however, application security must start with developers, allowing security teams to move away from an audit-and-gate function and into an empowering and governing role within the organization.

Join Snyk, Docker and AWS to get hands-on experience identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations that are common in cloud native applications today, and fixing those issues through clear actions and best practices for each attack scenario.

In this workshop, you will:

-Learn how to find and fix container vulnerabilities using Docker as you build and test images locally.
-Manage vulnerabilities in container images in Docker Hub and running Amazon EKS workloads.
-Spot and correct Kubernetes configuration problems that could open your clusters up to additional attacks.

Earn swag as you complete each module and advance to the next level.

Running a Cloud-Native Data Tier with K8ssandra hosted by DataStax (REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED)

Many teams building highly scalable, cloud-native applications, have struggled with finding a data solution that can keep pace with the needs of their application. Often this has meant a choice between using a managed database, or taking on the task of deploying and managing a distributed database on Kubernetes. Apache Cassandra™ is a powerful database used in many applications that require resilience and scalability, but has traditionally been challenging to deploy and manage effectively on Kubernetes. Now the Kubernetes and Cassandra communities have come together in a great collaboration called K8ssandra, a production-ready platform that makes it easy to run Cassandra™ on Kubernetes.

In this workshop, you will learn how to deploy and manage a data tier based on Apache Cassandra™ cluster in Kubernetes using K8ssandra. We’ll explore activities using hands-on exercises, that include:

- Creating a K8ssandra release using Helm
- Using a benchmarking tool (NoSQLBench) to generate read/write load on the database
- Monitoring database performance through metrics and alerts
- Breaking nodes in the database cluster on purpose to observe how Cassandra self-heals
- Scaling the database up and down
- Deploying applications on top of the database using CQL and REST APIs
- Backing up and restoring data

Aleks Volochnev, DataStax
Jeff Carpenter, DataStax
