Lightning Talk: Beyond Operators: Reimagine Distributed Applications on Kubernetes - Vladimir Vivien, VMware
Kubernetes runs the distributed replicas of an application completely independent with no mechanism provided for coordination between replicas. To minimize race conditions, and other side effects of distributability, applications are often deployed with a replica count limited one or use primitives like StatefulSet to influence pod scheduling stickiness. Unfortunately, these are not enough to create truly distributed applications that can gracefully react to changes in their environment at runtime. While the controller and operator patterns have helped, they tend to use raw API primitives that are not related to building distributed systems.

This presentation is a discussion that presents the features needed to create truly distributed applications that can react to changes in a distributed environment and including features such as leader election, synchronization, and coordination.

Lightning Talk: Kubernetes Jobs and the Sidecar Problem - James Wen, Spotify
The popular sidecar pattern has influenced the way organizations integrate their infrastructure with Kubernetes. However, it can often be a challenge adapting the sidecar pattern for workload patterns like batch jobs that do not fall into the domain of Deployments and the traditional microservice paradigm.

This talk will describe the current problems and limitations with running Kubernetes Jobs in infrastructure setups that involve sidecar containers. We'll briefly cover how Spotify's use case with Jobs and sidecars conflicts with these issues. But more importantly, we'll cover what the roots of these Job and sidecar issues are, explain a few of the most popular workarounds in the community, and highlight the currently open Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal that presents a potential solution via new Kubernetes features.

Lightning Talk: Using Jupyter Notebooks To Gain Insight Of Your Cluster - Ruben D Orduz, VMware
For the last 7 years or so Jupyter Notebooks (formerly known as IPython) has revolutionized the way scholars, enthusiasts and data analysts look at, process and work with data. On the Kubernetes side, component (api-server, scheduler, controller manager, etc.) logs, events, etc. can be an indomitable fire hose of data that can rather difficult to analyze and work with in its raw form. However, as we'll demonstrate, with the right tools, you can create data pipelines so that it can observed, analyzed and visualized in an interactive way using Jupyter notebooks. Insight therein can then be used for any task from performance tuning to debugging.

The outline for this lightning talk is straightforward:

* Problem statement (~ 1 min.)
* Solution and tooling description (~45 sec.)
* How the tooling was used ( ~1 min.)
* Go over the data processing pipeline (~1 min.)
* Results (~45 sec.)

Lightning Talk: When the Command Line is Not Enough: Why Your OSS Project Needs A GUI - Risha Mars, Buoyant
In the ops and infrastructure world, we often rely on command line interfaces to do most of our heavy lifting. What value can a proxy get out of having a dashboard? How can a GUI complement a CLI? In this talk we'll look at Linkerd's web dashboard and CLI, and examine ways in which a GUI improves the user experience. In particular we’ll explore ways that a GUI offers more flexibility or better presentation capabilities than a CLI, namely: better data aggregation, easier data entry, better data manipulation, easier annotation and explanations with tooltips and popups, and user customization. In this talk, we’ll spend time looking at how different GUI elements (tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, tooltips, colour) can help the user get the most value of of a product. Lastly, we will talk about how GUIs can increase OSS participation by letting front-end coders contribute.

Lightning Talk: Using Istio's Mixer for Network Request Caching - Zach Arnold, Ygrene Energy Fund
Service Meshes (and Istio in particular,) have helped application developers off-load a good chunk of logic surrounding network requests. Our microservices should be as close to pure business logic as possible, but what happens when we add so many services that our network requests are dramatically slowing the application down? The natural result is to look for some caching of requests on either the client or service side. Enter Redis, Memcached, and other caching tools all to help reduce network calls and overall latency. All of this comes with implementation penalty reducing the purity of our services. We will demonstrate how Istio's Mixer component can be used to cache requests at the request level and how that can keep your application fast, without ruining the purity of your services.

Lightning Talk: Oh Sh*t! The Config Changed! - Joel Speed, Pusher
The majority of production incidents for Pusher's platform team during 2018 had the same root cause... a broken config!

Kubernetes doesn't have a sense of versioning for configmaps and secrets and, in a lot of cases, updating configuration won't even be reflected into running pods. So how can you make sure that your pods are always running the latest configuration?

We came up with a solution for this problem in late 2018 which will be the focus of this session. What is Wave? What does it do? How does it work?

Lightning Talk: Managing Drivers in a Kubernetes Cluster - Renaud Gaubert, NVIDIA
As a cluster operator, managing drivers (Mellanox networking, NVIDIA compute and graphics drivers, ...) at scale today is a real issue, from installation to upgrade every step you take brings you further away from Kubernetes.

Drivers are frequently needed for enabling users (e.g: run AI workloads) or reducing cost (RDMA over converged ethernet), yet there are no clear consensus or tools that allows you to solve the issues encountered by requiring drivers on your machines.

During this Lightning talk we’ll take a look at the different strategies you can use in Kubernetes to manage drivers (containers vs base image) and the available update strategies that will help you minimize disruption and maximize cost.

Finally we will take a look at the challenges and solutions that VM based runtimes introduce.

Lightning Talk: Slow Starting Containers, How to Check Their Health? - Matthias Bertschy, Swissquote Bank
Kubernetes uses probes to know when to send traffic to or restart a Container. For example, liveness probes could catch a deadlock, where an application is running, but unable to make progress. Restarting the Container in such a state can help to make the application more available despite bugs. When a Container is starting, the kubelet has no way to tell whether the startup is deadlocked or just taking longer than expected. This is problematic when deploying Java based application servers which can take several minutes to start. In this presentation, Matthias Bertschy will show you what are the risks of misconfigured probes, how to circumvent them and a possible solution to be implemented in the Kubernetes API.

Previously, they were attending international conferences and national meetups to meet and be a part of the community.

Knowing that they were in a privileged position, they wanted to share it with others that, for whatever reason, were unable to make these events.

Cloud Native Wales will be soon celebrating a year of meetups, and best of all, we get to share this with the 100's of people within our meetup community.

This talk will inspire you to take the chance to branch the CNCF and build a community closer to home, help others learn, share and contribute to the world wide community.

Rootless, Reproducible, and Hermetic: Secure Container Build Showdown - Andrew Martin, Control Plane
Rootless container image builds (as distinct from rootless runtimes) have crept ever closer with orca-build, BuildKit, and img proving the concept. And they are desperately needed: a build pipeline with an exposed Docker socket can be used by an attacker to escalate privilege - and is probably a backdoor into most Kubernetes-based CI build farms.

With a slew of new rootless tooling emerging including Red Hat’s buildah, Google’s Kaniko, and Uber’s Makisu, will we see build systems that can securely build untrusted Dockerfiles? How are traditional build and packaging requirements like reproducibility or hermetic isolation being approached? In this talk we:
- Compare the strengths and weaknesses of modern container image build tools
- Explore the safety of untrusted image builds
- Live demo attacking container build pipelines
- Chart the history and future of container image build tooling

Mental Health in Tech - Dr. Jennifer Akullian, Growth Coaching Institute
According to research by Open Sourcing Mental Illness, 51% of individuals working in the tech community have been identified with a mental illness. This is disproportionate to the 20% prevalence in the general population. To compound the concern, many working in the tech community are at risk for burnout, a condition that often resembles mental illness. While lots of people in tech struggle with mental health, industry-specific research and advocacy in the community is disproportionately inadequate.

For organizations, awareness and advocacy around employee mental health is crucial, after all, happy employees are more productive and less likely to leave their job. For employees who are struggling, it is important they know that they are not alone and there is help. This talk is focused on reducing the stigma around mental illness and expanding education and awareness into how to help yourself and others in your community. Jennifer will provide mental health background as she reviews the research pertaining to the tech community. Industry-specific burnout will be discussed and strategies for improving one’s experience or helping a friend or colleague will be examined.

Participants will learn concrete steps for improving mental health in the workplace at an organizational, team, and individual level.

Network Machinery: A United-Front for Network Troubleshooting with CRDs - Adel Zaalouk, SAP
The current state of network troubleshooting in Kubernetes is complicated. The knowledge of how to troubleshoot Kubernetes networking is scattered all over the place either in the heads of highly skilled network crafts-men or as a tool that has its own learning curve and usually forged at a time of disaster in a fire-and-forget fashion.

The goal of this talk is to propose and introduce a rather simpler way of pooling this common knowledge and tooling together into a well-defined, consistent and community-accepted set of resources that are available to the average Kubernetes user. These set of resources can be divided in NetworkingPerformanceTest, NetworkingDebuggingTest, NetworkSimulationTest all under the NetworkMachinery group.

 Finally, the resources might utilize common network knowledge and even some dark-art tooling (e.g. OpenFlow, OVS, OVN) to provide more insight on the network

Ingress V2 and Multicluster Services - Rohit Ramkumar & Bowei Du, Google
With app modernization, we’ve entered a new phase of structuring services. Services have evolved over time to span multiple clusters as well as hybrid deployments that encompass both on-prem and multiple clouds. There are several use cases for multiple Kubernetes clusters: canarying new versions of your app, or low latency access for your users across the globe.

In this session, we will present a new version of the Ingress and the Service APIs. These API’s form the foundational blocks for managing your global, scalable and reliable services close to your users using a single control plane. Moreover, we will compare these new API’s with different models for spreading services across multiple cluster (e.g Istio). We will demo a custom controller we have written that will configure multi-cluster HTTP(S) load balancing given these new API’s.

From Snowflake Servers to Snowflake Clusters - The GitOps Journey - Allison Richardet, Asteris, LLC & Fabio Giannetti, MasterCard
At MasterCard, we have a unique hard requirement of one dedicated cluster per application due to security and other challenges. In an effort to prevent snowflake clusters, we provided a base set of services for logging, monitoring, etc.; however, application teams inevitably want to customize their logging solution or add a monitoring dashboard. We realized this mix of standard and optional services could quickly get out of control and needed normalization. In early 2018, we exposed application teams to Kubernetes manifests; they were excited about control over deployments, but unprepared for the complexity. By late 2018, we needed to minimize complexity and find a way to express high-level application needs, while providing secure, scalable and redundant deployments. This is our journey of how we embraced GitOps, and the challenges we faced making deployment descriptions minimalistic.

Envoy SDS: Fortifying Istio Security - Yonggang Liu & Quanjie Lin, Google
In Istio 1.1, Citadel Agent is introduced to dynamically provision x.509 certificates and private keys to workloads through the Envoy Secret Discovery Service (SDS) API. Running on Kubernetes nodes as DaemonSets and standalone on VMs, Citadel Agents improve security by making sure the generated private keys never leave the node and can be securely delivered to workloads via UDS. Citadel Agent also offers flexibility on local workload identity attestation and various adapters to integrate with custom CAs.

In this talk we will demonstrate how SDS makes this model really efficient, and citadel working independently from other Istio components for both K8s and non-K8s workloads.

Tutorial: Back to Basics: Hands-On Deployment of Stateful Workloads on Kubernetes - David Zhu, Google & Jan Šafránek, Red Hat (Limited Availability; First-Come, First-Served Basis)
Ever wonder how to use a “volumeClaimTemplate”? Why you would choose a StatefulSet over a Deployment or vice versa?

Complicated stateful applications are normally deployed via operators; however, it is critical to have a firm grasp on the Kubernetes primitives to understand, fine-tune, and debug your applications.

In this tutorial you will learn about core Kubernetes storage and workloads concepts and how to use them to deploy stateful applications. You will get hands-on experience deploying both Cassandra and a test application on a Kubernetes cluster and learn how to debug some common errors in the process.

You will develop mental models to understand the workings of StatefulSets along with how to compare them with other Kubernetes workload models such as Deployments and DaemonSets to determine the right workload for your purposes.

Intro to CNAB: Packaging Cloud Native Applications with Multiple Toolchains - Chris Crone, Docker
When you deploy a cloud native application, you probably use a variety of tools for each part of the application. Terraform or ARM templates for the infrastructure, Helm or Compose for containers, etc. No single tool handles all your needs and each one has its own package manager!

This talk will introduce the Cloud Native Application Bundle (CNAB) specification and tooling:
- duffle: Reference implementation of CNAB installer
- duffle-bag: GUI for installing CNABs
- cnab-to-oci: Convert CNAB to an OCI index

CNAB embraces the multi-tool world and allows one to package up multiple formats and their toolchains into a single artifact.

Imagine a single installable application package that uses Terraform to launch an RDS instance and Helm to deploy the application that uses it. CNAB allows you to package this all together, cryptographically sign it, and share it via any container registry.

Databases on Kubernetes Using a Custom Operator: Day 1, Day 2, and Beyond - Johannes Unterstein, Neo4j
We started the journey of building a managed cloud version of the graph database Neo4j. A bit later we started developing an operator to manage multiple database clusters in k8s.

Handling persistence and Neo4j's own distributed consensus algorithm within k8s gave us a challenge. In this session we want to share the lessons we learned writing this operator and using it in production.

We will start with how to get started using the k8s controller tooling to create an operator to manage a CRD. We go beyond the "day 1" tasks of creating and deleting databases and discuss how we meet "day 2" concerns such as:
- Unit testing our operator using k8s fakes.
- Continuously deploying an operator into a GKE cluster.
- Automatic rolling updates of Neo4j databases with zero downtime and fault tolerance.
- Database administration (backup, restore, password resets etc.) via an operator.

Unit Testing Your Kubernetes Configurations Using Open Policy Agent - Gareth Rushgrove, Docker
Open Policy Agent provides a high-level declarative language to author and enforce policies on structured data, for instance Kubernetes configurations. OPA is typically used as a service to enforce authorization policy in a cluster. New configurations submitted to an API are filtered through OPA and accepted or rejected depending on the defined policy. But some types of policy violations can be caught even earlier in the development process. In this talk we’ll discuss:

- Why you might benefit from writing unit tests for your Kubernetes configuration
- Getting started with regol, OPAs declarative assertion language
- Integrating OPA-based tests with your continuous integration system
- Testing Kubernetes configurations when working with other ecosystem tools like Helm, Kustomize and Pulumi
- Extending the same approach to other structured configuration files

Writing kubectl Plugins for Everyone: Develop, Package & Distribute - Ahmet Alp Balkan, Google & Maciej Szulik, Red Hat
Many users install extra tools for tasks they can't do with kubectl. Did you know you can write and distribute your own kubectl subcommands? kubectl had notion of plugins since 2016, but after listening to the community feedback, SIG CLI revisited the idea, and new and simpler plugin mechanism is now available in kubectl.

The new mechanism allows anyone to write and distribute their own subcommands to kubectl. This opens the door for community contributions to make kubectl better without having to propose a feature to the kubectl core.

During this session, Maciej (lead of SIG CLI) and Ahmet (developer of Krew plugin manager) will explain:

* how kubectl plugin mechanism works under the covers
* how does a good plugin look like, best practices & available libraries
* hands-on demo of developing a plugin

Intro: Helm - Michelle Noorali & Matt Fisher, Microsoft
In this session, we will introduce the basics of the CNCF Helm project. Helm is a Kubernetes package manager and it allows you to install and manages packages of Kubernetes configuration called Charts. Charts provide a way to deploy configurable, out-of-the-box applications and even package your own applications for Kubernetes. We will walk through how to get started with Helm and how to package your own applications as Charts. Helm was first introduced in 2015 and has since grown to meet the needs of its own rich ecosystem. We'll also discuss how Helm has evolved, why, and lessons we've learned along the way.

Intro: Network Service Mesh (NSM) - Frederick Kautz, Doc.ai & Ed Warnicke, Cisco
Network Service Mesh (NSM) is a novel approach solving L2/L3 network use cases in Kubernetes that are tricky to address with the existing Kubernetes Network Model. Inspired by Istio, Network Service Mesh maps the concept of a service mesh to L2/L3 payloads.

Network Service Mesh enables a variety of types of Use Cases such as:

* Connecting Pods to:
-VPN Gateways
-Non-Kubernetes virtual bridge domains
-The *right* physical NIC or SR-IOV VF for their needs
-Multiple-interfaces
* Cloud-native NFV use cases

Network Service Mesh controls the L2/L3 data planes to deliver these types of use cases. Network Service Mesh enables users to express the context of their network needs in a Cloud Native manner, rather than manually stringing together disjoint interfaces, IPAM, and subnets.

Finally, we discuss how audience members can get involved and help drive the direction and development of NSM.

Intro: SPIFFE - Emiliano Bernbaum & Scott Emmons, Scytale
Modern software development relies on many microservices working together, that in production may be distributed over different middleware systems, container schedulers, PaaS platforms and even different cloud providers. As production environments become more complex, and dynamic - establishing trust between microservices is becomes more difficult, creating challenges for developers, operations teams, and security teams alike. Enter SPIFFE (Secure Production Infrastructure for Everyone) and which builds on designs first championed at Google, Twitter and elsewhere to provide robust authentication and trust between disparate micro-services. SPIFFE and SPIRE make it trivial to establish trust between workloads that may be elastically scaled and dynamically scheduled, and deployed in deeply heterogeneous environments. We'll walk through the design goals for SPIFFE (a specification) and SPIRE (a multi-cloud implementation of SPIFFE). We will go over all the developments and progress in SPIRE over the last few months. We will present an overview of how it can be used in conjunction with Kubernetes to build secure and scalable microservice architectures. We will also share our current roadmap with the community.

Extending Envoy with WebAssembly - John Plevyak & Dhi Aurrahman, Tetrate
Envoy is a high-performance proxy in the cloud-native landscape designed to be extensible at its core. There are several possible “extension points” in Envoy as outlined in https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/tree/master/source/extensions. However, the currently available approaches to extend it is rather limited. Since Envoy is written in C++, the primary way to introduce new extended functionality in Envoy is by writing an extension (e.g. filters, either network or HTTP filter, as one of the most relevant use-cases in Envoy), in C++. It is also possible to write an extension for Envoy using Lua, but the current scope of this extension is only for HTTP traffic. This talk introduces the possibility to extend Envoy with WebAssembly-based extension and report the current progression of it.

Benchmarking Cloud Native Storage - Josh Berkus, Red Hat
You can run your stateful apps on Kubernetes. You can even run your databases on Kubernetes. But what are you giving up in performance? Is it worth it, or should you stick to the hosting you know?

For the past several months, we've been benchmarking various forms of Kubernetes storage, including host storage, network storage, cloud storage and cloud-native storage systems like Rook. Let us share with you the results of running PostgreSQL, CockroachDB and filesystem benchmarks so that you can make the best possible tradeoffs. We'll even show you how to do your own, to test your own platform.

You will leave this talk with a much better idea of the quantitative tradeoffs between performance, reliability, data retention, and manageability.

Kubernetes + Encrypted Memory = Security * Privacy - Harshal Patil & Pradipta Banerjee, IBM
The Memory Encryption on hardware is coming soon. From Intel's TME/MKTME[1] to IBM's Ultravisor[2], hardware manufacturers are aiming to make sure 'what's written by the process stays within the process'. Once the hardware is out, it will change the way we perceive the security and privacy in the cloud.

In this talk, we will discuss briefly on the upcoming memory encryption technologies and how we modified kata container runtime to handle kubernetes' Ephemeral Volumes (aka, EmptyDir volumes) to keep your data and application protected from the container image registry (encrypted at rest) to runtime (protected by memory encryption). For the demonstration, we run a container image with the encrypted TensorFlow model using kubernetes such that even the root user on the worker node won’t be able to read the model parameters.

Scavenging for Reusable Code in the Kubernetes Codebase - Kevin Lingerfelt, Buoyant
The magic of open source software and Go's support for remote import paths makes it trivial to import and run code from many of the most popular CNCF projects directly in your own project. Sometimes, however, the process of finding that one piece of code in a large codebase that’s just right for your use case can feel like a scavenger hunt. But the spoils of the hunt are vast. This talk explores how the Linkerd project has leveraged the Kubernetes codebase to replace their bespoke code with existing code that's more robust and better tested. Specific examples include switching the project to use Kubernetes' shared informers for caching API responses and adding rate limiting via work queues for TLS certificate distribution. Linkerd's Kevin Lingerfelt will show you how to undertake an effective Go scavenger hunt, and he'll discuss when you should skip the hunt and write it from scratch.

Kubernetes the New Research Platform - Lindsey Tulloch, Brock University & Bob Killen, University of Michigan
Academic research institutions are at a precipice. They have historically been constrained to supporting classic “job” style workloads. With the growth of new workflow practices such as streaming data, science gateways, and more “dynamic” research using lambda-like functions, they must now support a variety of workloads.

In this talk, Lindsey and Bob will discuss some difficulties faced by academic institutions and how Kubernetes offers an extensible solution to support the future of research. They will present a selection of projects currently benefiting from Kubernetes enabled tools, like Argo, Kubeflow, and kube-batch. These workflows will be demonstrated using specific examples from two large research institutions: Compute Canada, Canada’s national computation research consortium and the University of Michigan, one of the largest public Universities in the United States.

Panel Discussion: GitOps & Best Practices for Cloud Native CI/CD - Allison Richardet, Asteris, LLC; Laura Tacho, CloudBees; Ivan Pedrazas, State Street; Tracy Miranda, CloudBees; and Alexis Richardson, Weaveworks
Cloud native technologies enable organisations to scale rapidly and deliver software much faster than before. To do this, organisations need to rethink their CI/CD systems and the best practices their teams use with Kubernetes. GitOps, operation by pull request, is a new paradigm and set of best practices for cloud native. But what does it mean and how can organisations go about adopting it for their CI/CD needs? This panel provides insights into GitOps, best practices for CI/CD for cloud native and tooling that can help automate these practices. It also features end user stories of their experiences learning the best ways to setup CI/CD for their specific applications and needs.

Kanary - Automated and Integrated Canary Testing Using CRD and an Operator - David Benque, Amadeus & Cédric Lamorinière, Datadog
The Kubernetes ecosystem provides primitives to easily deploy applications. Now, how might we simplify validation of a new application version before triggering its complete rollout? Canary testing is a popular answer.

There are solutions to pilot canary testing from outside Kubernetes. How about driving it from inside Kubernetes instead?

Kanary is a new Operator proposing an easy, automated and integrated way to orchestrate the canary testing phase, while controlling the traffic, the validation, and the rollout of a new version.

After a quick recap of challenges in managing canary deployments within Kubernetes, this talk will present how Kanary offers a fully integrated and automated canary solution by assembling several cloud-native solutions: Prometheus, Istio, K8s resources and CRD.

Intro: Kubernetes (VMware) SIG - David vonThenen & Steven Wong, VMware
Intro to the vSphere CSI Volume Driver The Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a specification designed to enable persistent storage volume management, using a plugin maintained independently of Kubernetes. Kubernetes CSI support recently advanced to GA. In the longer term, there is a plan to deprecate existing legacy storage plugins. New storage-related functionality, such as snapshot support, is now being targeted for CSI only. The “in-tree” vSphere storage plugin remains fully supported at this time. but users running Kubernetes on vSphere may wish to change to CSI to gain new features. At some point in the future, migration to the CSI plugin will become mandatory. This session will explain and demonstrate deployment, configuration and use of the new vSphere CSI driver. We will also cover migration and the roadmap for new functionality including snapshots, and other topics (e.g. interaction with scheduling and zones).

Scale Kubernetes Service Endpoints 100x - Minhan Xia & Wojciech Tyczynski, Google
Service and endpoints have been core primitives in K8s since 1.0. As k8s deployments gets larger, the scalability of k8s service endpoints has become a bottleneck, causing high overhead on network, cpu and memory across the cluster. In addition, the size of the endpoints object will be larger than what can be stored in the Etcd database. This talk will deep dive into the internals of k8s service endpoints API and sort out the associated scalability challenges in the current design. Minhan and Wojtek will introduce a new K8s endpoints API design that aims to improve Endpoint scalability by 100x, as well as an overview of the ongoing effort to revamp K8s Service.

Fine-Grained Permissions in Kubernetes: What’s Missing, and How to Fix That - Vallery Lancey, Lyft & Seth McCombs, Triller
In this talk, we will walk through a number of common scenarios where Kubernetes lacks sufficient access control tools, or where access control is often not properly applied. For example, it is common for a team to own a subset of services in a namespace, yet RBAC permissions grant that team access to other pods within the namespace.

We will demonstrate a number of solutions available for specific problems, such as pod network policies, the open policy agent, custom controllers that gate API functionality.

We will also discuss problems with the namespace permission model, and possible alternatives. Namespaces create an arbitrary boundary around resources, which creates the need to then bridge those boundaries. We will demonstrate ideas for bridging namespace networks, and posix-style objection permissions within a namespace.

What WePay Learned From Processing Billions of Dollars on GKE Using Linkerd - Mohsen Rezaei, WePay
WePay processes billions of dollars worth of payments each year. As the number of services that process payment requests grow in WePay’s infrastructure, so does the challenge of monitoring, debugging, and tracing call paths and service internals that run on GKE.

This session focuses on how the Platform Infrastructure & Tools team at WePay utilized monitoring services like Prometheus and Grafana to migrate their ever growing infrastructure and all of their production traffic (REST and gRPC) to service mesh on top of Linkerd in 2018. In addition, we will show how we used Namerd to bring all services together using discovery, Linkerd to power the data plane where the payments are processed and parsed behind WePay’s payment APIs, and Prometheus and NewRelic to monitor all infrastructure services' and microservices' activities in our production environment.

Reproducible Development and Deployment with Bazel and Telepresence - Christian Roggia, Engel & Völkers Technology GmbH
As the system grows in size and complexity the pain of maintaining an up-to-date local environment becomes less and less sustainable. Developers will eventually have to deal with large docker-compose YAMLs and strict build guidelines, slowing down the development process and encouraging build-push-deploy cycles instead. This talk will explore a better approach to the issue by making both development and deployment fully reproducible, reducing required efforts and allowing for more reliable releases.

Attendees will be introduced to the Bazel ecosystem combined with Telepresence’s proxying capabilities. The final goal is to understand how Bazel can help developers achieve a fully hermetic and reproducible build environment, and how locally produced images can be connected from developers’ machines to the remote cluster through the two-way communication proxy offered by Telepresence.

Laying the Foundation: Real World Kubernetes Deployment Patterns - Josh Rosso & Craig Tracey, VMware
Enterprise deployments often find themselves gridlocked in debates concerning the "correct" approach for deploying Kubernetes. Should we use immutable images or a complex configuration management solution? What about leveraging one of the managed service offerings? Or even one of the opinionated open source projects? The possibilities are endless but can also be dizzying.

In this talk, Josh and Craig provide an overview of both the successful (and sometimes not so successful) deployment patterns they have encountered across dozens of production Kubernetes users in nearly every industry vertical. They will identify the critical decision making processes that will enable "Day 2" operations, empower stakeholders, and ultimately yield successful Kubernetes outcomes.

Streamlining Kubernetes Application CI/CD with Bazel - Gregg Donovan, Etsy.com, Inc. & Chris Love, CNM Consulting
Creating a repeatable Kubernetes application deployment pipeline with the Bazel build system offers a number of advantages over traditional Kubernetes application CI/CD approaches. We will describe how Etsy uses Bazel, along with its container and Kubernetes support, to deploy many different services to multiple different clusters and environments.

Using a repeatable build process maximizes container layer caching and takes advantage of Kubernetes built in pod template hashing. With this caching in place, it becomes feasible to deploy all services in a large repo reliably without under-deploying -- not deploying changed components, leaving them unvalidated on master -- or over-deploying, waiting for a potentially expensive rollout despite not having made changes.

Bazel's rules_docker also allow you to build deterministic container images without the Docker daemon, simplifying CI/CD.

You're great at running containers but you shouldn't have to be great at building them. In this talk, you'll learn about Cloud Native Buildpacks, a higher-level abstraction for building apps compared to Dockerfiles. Buildpacks are a standardized tool for creating images in a secure, reproducible, and efficient manner. As an app developer, you don't need to know best practices around ordering commands for layer reuse. As an operator, you don't need to worry about exposing developers to the responsibilities that come with Dockerfile. Come learn how buildpacks meet developers at their source code, automate the delivery of both OS-level and application-level dependency upgrades, and help you efficiently handle day-2 app operations.

Portable, Universal Single Sign-On for Your Clusters - Miguel Martinez, Bitnami
In order to enable Single Sign-On in your cluster you need to configure the Kubernetes API server. This is an issue if you are using services where the control plane is managed for you. Some managed services like GKE support SSO out of the box, but are not configurable. Others like AKS allow you to configure it, but only with Active Directory. These options might not fit some of your requirements such as using your company’s existing Identity provider, to use other protocols such as LDAP or SAML or when applications (e.g the Kubernetes Dashboard) need access to the API server.

In this session, I will present some workarounds that leverage other native AuthN/AuthZ mechanisms such as service accounts or impersonation via auth proxies. I will also demo how to use these methods to enable SSO for the Kubernetes dashboard that can be used across different managed and on-prem environments.

Kubectl Apply 2019: Defense Against the Dark Arts - Phillip Wittrock & Jennifer Buckley, Google
Kubectl Apply (loved and hated by users) is the canonical way to manage Kubernetes Resources, and the building block for systems performing continuous delivery.

Originally written in 2015, the inner workings of Apply have been referred to as the “dark arts” and have been accused of “making peoples eyeballs bleed”. The Apply maintainers took this feedback, and embarked on a journey to completely rearchitect Apply, this time without unleashing a primordial evil.

In 2019 Apply received its first major architectural overhaul, addressing long standing issues and bringing a cornucopia of new functionality to users and platform developers. Phillip Wittrock and Jenny Buckley will review both the changes in architecture and the new functionality that will usher in a delivery renaissance for Kubernetes.

The Multicluster Toolbox - Adrien Trouillaud, Admiralty
The Kubernetes community has been talking about "multicluster" for several years. The topic is often associated with the Federation (v2) project. While Federation offers a solution to a problem (top-down resource declaration with templates, placements, and overrides), multicluster is about more than that. As Adrien was working on a different problem—peer-to-peer scheduling—he soon realized that some of the building blocks were missing: how to authorize requests from pods in a cluster to the Kubernetes APIs of other clusters; how to watch resources in a cluster to control resources in other clusters; how to garbage-collect objects in a cluster owned by objects in other clusters. Adrien started assembling an open-source "multicluster toolbox", composed of multicluster-service-account and multicluster-controller. This talk explains how to use them to solve unique multicluster problems.

Using K8s Audit Logs to Secure Your Cluster - Mark Stemm, Sysdig
K8s Audit Logs are a new feature in K8s 1.11/1.13 which allow an operator to see a stream of events from the API server that show the changes being made to your cluster. In this talk, we’ll describe how auditing works and how to get it working it for popular K8s variants. Then we’ll dive into specific security-oriented use cases, showing how you can use audit logs to enforce security best practices, detect misuse, and fill the gap between what you think the cluster is running and what's actually running. Some specific use cases we’ll discuss include misuse of configmaps to hold sensitive data, overly loose permissions on pods/services, and abuse of cluster role bindings that grant too many (or the wrong) permissions. Attendees should come away with the ability to enable K8s Audit Support in their cluster and what to look for in their audit logs to ensure that their cluster is secure.

Using eBPF to Bring Kubernetes-Aware Security to the Linux Kernel - Dan Wendlandt, Isovalent
eBPF is a powerful Linux kernel technology that has recently become available in mainstream Linux distributions, enabling radically deeper visibility into and control over many aspects of operating system behavior.

In this talk, we will cover the basics of eBPF and then dive into a hands-on exploration of use cases where eBPF-based technologies like Cilium and BCC can enable security visibility and isolation well beyond what is possible with traditional Linux security primitives, Examples include:

1. Auditing the set of syscalls made by users who access pods via "kubectl exec".
2. Network visibility and access control that distinguishes between a sidecar and primary container inside a single pod.
3. API-layer visibility into inter-service connectivity, even if the connection is encrypted using TLS.

Serverless is Interesting But FaaS is Not Enough - Jonas Bonér, Lightbend Inc.
Serverless is interesting because it emphasizes automation of infrastructure, but current Function-as-a-Service implementations are not suited for building general purpose apps. What’s missing is a way to model and manage stateful services. Can we make stateful apps run as if they were stateless?

We’ll investigate the inherent challenges with serving stateful services from a scaling perspective while preserving responsiveness by designing for resilience and elasticity, using Akka—an OSS library for distributed stateful apps—as a concrete example.

We’ll discuss design principles needed to address problems around data consistency, system integrity, and data locality, why they are key to maintain overall system behavior under failure and load and discuss pitfalls and requirements needed to understand when operating the infrastructure fabric—f.e. Knative—which orchestrates the services.

Keynote: Reperforming a Nobel Prize Discovery on Kubernetes - Ricardo Rocha, Computing Engineer & Lukas Heinrich, Physicist, CERN
Back in 2012, CERN announced one of its most important achievements, the discovery of the Higgs boson leading to the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics.

In this presentation, we will redo the data analysis that led to it, this time on top of Kubernetes, the new infrastructure stack growing in popularity in the laboratory.

The analysis submission will be done via a jupyter notebook into a small cluster on our private cloud, and both the application and the cluster itself will automatically scale out to exhaust resources - we will detail our setup and deployment decisions on the way. Then we will show how the work being done in the Multicluster SIG helps us define a set of placement and scheduling policies to scale out to external clouds.

 The end result will be a physicist’s dream: a histogram with a spike that back in 2012 indicated the discovery of a new particle.

Keynote: How Spotify Accidentally Deleted All its Kube Clusters with No User Impact - David Xia, Infrastructure Engineer, Spotify
During Spotify's Kubernetes migration, David's team deleted most of their production Kubernetes clusters. Accidentally. Twice. With little to no user impact. David shares how they recovered and learned to operate many clusters automatically and safely.

In 2017, Spotify planned the migration of hundreds of teams, thousands of services, and tens of thousands of hosts to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). In the last half of 2018, Spotify migrated 50 teams and hundreds of services, including critical ones, onto multiple production clusters.

 David describes what led to the cluster deletions and how they barely affected users. Since the postmortem, Spotify has minimized downtime and human error by declaratively defining clusters in code with Terraform, backing up and restoring clusters with Ark, and increasing scalability and availability by running many more clusters.

Sponsored Keynote: What I Learned Running 10,000+ Kubernetes Clusters - Jason McGee, IBM Fellow, IBM
After years of running Kubernetes, I've learned a few things about scale. When you have one cluster, you can manage it by hand. For 2-10 clusters, familiar tools work OK. But for more than 10, it's time for help. In my Kubernetes journey, I've seen stable tools fail under pressure. Even with good intentions, developers can throw a wrench into ideal consistent ops. This keynote covers how to scale to thousands of clusters worldwide. You'll also hear why observability for every cluster change is critical. And don't forget about policy enforcement for cluster declarations. Bonus! A demo of Open Razee (a new open source project) shows how you can control and scale daily cluster updates.

Keynote: Debunking the Myth: Kubernetes Storage is Hard - Saad Ali, Senior Software Engineer, Google
We often hear “Storage on Kubernetes is hard” or “Don’t deploy stateful applications on Kubernetes!” Is there any truth to these statements? In this talk I separate fact from fiction.

Storage on Kubernetes can mean a lot of things. First I will start by separating three layers: 1) consuming block and file storage from a pod running in Kubernetes, 2) deploying a stateful app (like a database) on Kubernetes using storage and workload primitives, and 3) deploying a software defined storage system on top of Kubernetes to provide block or file storage. Each of these areas has a different set of challenges that are often conflated to make storage on Kubernetes appear much harder than it is.

 After separating these layers, I will help you understand what the challenges are with each of them, and how you work around them to effectively deploy stateful applications on Kubernetes.

Create Visually Compelling Developer Experiences for Kubernetes on VS Code - Ivan Towlson & Ralph Squillace, Microsoft
Great command-line developer tools are widely available for the Kubernetes ecosystem, but fabulous visual developer environments are coming along more slowly, hindering uptake among application developers who are new to container orchestration or who prefer visually rich development environments.
This session will show how to build upon the free Kubernetes extension for the open-source Visual Studio Code (VS Code) editor to provide your own custom, developer-oriented experience for use with any kind of Kubernetes cluster.
We’ll show how you add to the behaviors and views in the VS Code k8s extension and demonstrate several different extensions built on it, each illustrating a different way to make Kubernetes application development easier, faster, and more effective for an ever-wider array of developers. You’ll leave empowered to create your own new visual experiences for Kubernetes.

How We Used Kubernetes to Host a Capture the Flag (CTF) - Ariel Zelivansky & Liron Levin, Twistlock
CTF competitions are now commonly used for cybersecurity education purposes, and are solved by many enthusiast researchers looking for a challenge. In Twistlock, we decided to host an online CTF competition with unique challenges that required a live, dedicated persistent machine, for each participant. Using Kubernetes, we managed to successfully host the challenge, publicly open, without sacrificing the security of our infrastructure.

We will discuss:
Introduction to the CTF and why we choose to run it on Kubernetes
Attack vectors for giving users untrusted shells to pods
Container isolation technologies such as gvisor and network policies.
Patterns for dynamically scaling pods and routes for new CTF participates

In the end, attendees will learn the security building blocks of Kubernetes, and how it can be used for non conventional purposes such as hosting a one time live challenge.

Deep Dive: Kubernetes (Release) SIG - Tim Pepper & Stephen Augustus, VMware
Kubernetes is built through a motley collection of tools used in parallel and redundant ways on different cadences by a decentralized, global developer community. This runs counter to the established quality software engineering practice of a constantly exercised single build/test/release workflow. Our Release Engineering subproject aspires to a unified, deterministic, reproducible, verifiable build system used continually for dev/test as well as periodic official releases. In this SIG Release Deep Dive session we will briefly discuss the history of release engineering in Kubernetes and the build tooling and workflows present today, and then move on to our plans and progress towards commonizing build tooling and workflows, the positive benefits we expect will come in the next few release cycles from this effort, and how you can engage to better the future of Kubernetes.

Envoy is a high-performance proxy in the cloud-native landscape designed to be extensible at its core. There are several possible “extension points” in Envoy as outlined in https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/tree/master/source/extensions. However, the currently available approaches to extend it is rather limited. Since Envoy is written in C++, the primary way to introduce new extended functionality in Envoy is by writing an extension (e.g. filters, either network or HTTP filter, as one of the most relevant use-cases in Envoy), in C++. It is possible to write an extension for Envoy using Lua (https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/http_filters/lua_filter.html), but the current scope of this extension is only for HTTP traffic.

Building HA Multi-Cloud Clusters Using WireGuard as a Network Overlay - Lucas Servén Marín, Red Hat
Kubernetes abstracts away infrastructure, enabling the community to leverage a single, powerful interface anywhere we like, from bare-metal to public clouds like AWS or GCP. However, not all infrastructure is alike: some clouds do not provide GPUs, while others do not offer data-centers in certain regions. As a result, users often have to choose between running their entire workload on a single cloud provider or region, and managing multiple clusters in different clouds. In this presentation, Lucas Servén explains how to solve this issue at the network level and create a single cluster that spans cloud providers and regions, facilitating high availability and avoiding lock-in, by using WireGuard as a network overlay.

M3 and Prometheus, Monitoring at Planet Scale for Everyone - Rob Skillington, Uber
For the past few years Prometheus has solved the monitoring needs of many and it is exceptional at what it does. Prometheus has exploded in popularity and now many wish to store more metrics, at longer retention and establish a single pane of glass on top of Prometheus for their monitoring needs across regions.

M3 is an open source metrics platform that you can deploy and run using Kubernetes and Helm that integrates with Prometheus. It can store petabytes of metrics data with replication for high availability in a cost efficient manner, with compaction averse time series storage and index that can efficiently index and run dimension based regexp queries on billions of metrics.

Using a real world example we will cover in this talk how to deploy M3Coordinator and M3DB using the M3 Kubernetes operator and connect your Prometheus instances together into a single global monitoring system.

Restart-Free Vertical Scaling for Kubernetes Pods - Vinay Kulkarni, Futurewei
Currently, vertical scaling of Kubernetes pod CPU or memory resources requires pod restarts. This is disruptive to services, and expensive for long-running applications or jobs. It is very important to have the ability to scale pod resources without restarts.

In this talk, Vinay and Peng will present a design for restart-free scaling of pod resources, with container restart as a policy-controlled choice rather than a necessity. They will illustrate a customer use case, a gene-sequencing application where pod restart is expensive. They will go over the changes to Kubernetes components that made this feature possible. They will discuss how they addressed some unique challenges such as multiple scheduler race conditions, and respecting pod disruption budget if pod restart is needed. They will talk about how failures are handled via smart retries, and conclude with a demo.

Zero Trust Service Mesh with Calico, SPIRE, and Envoy - Shaun Crampton, Tigera & Evan Gilman, Scytale
The promise of a service mesh is to be able to delegate the hard networking problems to a uniform set of proxies and controllers. An extremely important networking problem is securing traffic within the mesh. Service meshes based on the Envoy proxy are very popular and there is a large diversity of implementations, including many home-grown solutions that focus on routing but may not include security. Shaun and Evan will demonstrate how to enhance your service mesh to follow the Zero Trust network security model using SPIRE and Calico.

A Zero Trust Network emphasizes resilience to compromised services, hosts, and the network itself by treating every network connection as potentially hostile. Secure connections are established only when backed by strong cryptographic identity and approved by fine grained policies---provided by SPIRE and Calico respectively.

Data Without Borders - Using Rook Storage Orchestration at a Global Scale - Jared Watts, Upbound
The Rook project has established robust and reliable patterns for orchestrating storage systems running on-top of Kubernetes clusters. However, storage systems often need to extend beyond a single cluster to provide data to end users in many different locations. How can these globally distributed storage systems best be orchestrated and managed to meet the needs of their users on a global scale?

In this talk, we will examine the key concepts of storage orchestration for cloud native applications in multicloud environments, as well as the major benefits of these types of deployments. We will learn about the challenges that arise and best practices to address them, such as replication, mirroring, snapshots, and disaster recovery. All of these lessons will be in the context of the Rook project, including a live demonstration of storage orchestration on a global scale.

Intro + Deep Dive: CNCF Storage WG - Alex Chircop, StorageOS
The CNCF Storage Working Group and SIG collaborates to explore and understand
how different storage technologies are used in cloud-native environments. Topics include block stores, file systems, object stores, key-value stores and databases, amongst others. Different
architectural approaches (centralized, distributed, sharded etc) are compared in terms of key attributes like availability, scalability, performance, data consistency, durability, fault tolerance, ease of
development and operational complexity.

In the intro we'll provide an overview of the work currently underway and on the roadmap. You'll get the meet the people leading these efforts, and find out how best to get involved and contribute.
We also welcome any other input you might have related to cloud-native storage.

Then we'll dive deeper! We'll present our work thus far, and host detailed discussions around the findings of our recent end-user surveys covering how cloud native storage is approached in the real world, including some representative successes and failures. Our hope is that others can learn from, and expand upon those experiences.

Build a Kubernetes Based Cloud Native Storage Solution From Scratch - Sheng Yang, Rancher Labs
When it comes to cloud-native and container-ready storage, most industry discussions focus on how to make existing storage systems work with Kubernetes/Docker. But the rapid development of SSD technology, along with container and Kubernetes, make it possible to create a more elegant solution from scratch, compared to the storage technologies exist tens of years ago.

So they have created a storage solution based on Kubernetes.

In Longhorn, control flow is driven by Kubernetes's controller model; deployment is done using Kubernetes workload; HA is backed by Kubernetes's HA capability. Though sometimes it's easy to say than done. As a result, lots of insights were gained on how to write an application based on Kubernetes. In this talk, Sheng Yang will give a talk about the experience and insights he has gained as a part of building a Cloud Native storage solution on Kubernetes.

The Story of Why We Migrate to gRPC and How We Go About It - Matthias Grüter, Spotify
At Spotify, we have historically built services based on our own proprietary messaging protocol and framework. Last year we finally kicked off the daunting multi-year task of migrating everything to gRPC.

Migrating over 1000 services to gRPC poses interesting challenges, many of them are not only technical in nature: they boil down to questions of engineering culture and leadership at scale: How do you get 200 autonomous engineering teams to align on something as fundamental and cross-cutting as a new RPC framework? How do you roll-out gRPC at scale whit minimal disruption to both the organization and to the end-user?

This presentation will address these questions alongside more technical discussions of advanced gRPC concepts such as interceptors, deadlines, and effective schema management and how they are essential in large distributed systems.

Merging Quickly in a Cloud Native World - Lucas Roesler, Contiamo
You are really excited by a new project, you have a great idea to contribute, you click submit ... and wait. The latest StackOverflow community report states that 80% of surveyed developers are coding in their free time but only 44% are contributing to open source projects. While this number seems good, can we do better? How can we ensure that both contributors and maintainers enjoy and benefit from participating?

In this presentation Lucas goes behind the scenes of the OpenFaaS project to share his knowledge from contributing to OpenFaaS and becoming a core contributor. We will walk through the standard git flow to understand what the maintainers of a large open-source project are looking for in new contributions, what we are doing to improve the experience, what the Kubernetes community at large is working on to help, and what you can do to get your pull request merged more quickly.

Resize Your Pods w/o Disruptions aka How to Have a Cake and Eat a Cake - Karol Gołąb & Beata Skiba, Google
Whether you’re using Vertical Pod Autoscaler or controlling Pod resources on your own, one thing is certain: applying new settings is disruptive as it requires Pods to be killed and recreated.
Why should you change those setting you might ask?
Stale settings, incompatible with your current load, might cause CPU starvation and Out Of Memory events or hinder cluster utilization.

In this talk we’ll present In-Place Resources Update (planned) feature which allows changing Pod resources on the fly, without restarting the Pod or its containers. This way you can have the best of two worlds: up-to-date resource settings and stable workloads.

You’ll learn the whys and hows of this feature, including how various core components like scheduler, kubelet or admission plugins are involved. We’ll also show the avenues it opens due to significantly lower cost of applying new resource settings.

Deep Dive: Falco - Michael Ducy, Sysdig
In any Cloud Native architecture there’s a seemingly endless stream of events that happen at each layer. These events can be used to detect abnormal activity and possible security incidents, as well as providing an audit trail of activity. In this talk we’ll cover how we extended Falco to ingest events beyond just host system calls, such as Kubernetes audit events or even application level events. We will also show how to create Falco rules to detect behaviors in these new event streams. We show how we implemented Kubernetes audit events in Falco, and how to configure the event stream. Finally, we will cover how to create additional event streams leveraging the generic implementation Falco provides. Attendees will gain deep understanding of Falco’s architecture, and how it custom Falco for additional events sources.

Treating Network Assets as Scheduleable Resources - Vinothkumar Siddharth, Amazon
Several cloud-providers now offer a managed Kubernetes solution. Customers launch their worker nodes within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and in majority of these environments, Container Network Interface (CNI) is the preferred networking solution.

While the default scheduler tracks CPU and Memory as resources and allocates pods to nodes based on the availability of the required resources, it does not natively track network resources such as IP addresses. This session will describe a centralized cluster networking solution built using custom resource controllers, admission webhooks and CNI plugins to enable network assets to be treated as cluster wide Kubernetes resources.

The controller and webhook are re-usable platform agnostic components that can support Linux, Windows and ARM64 worker nodes. They also serve as the foundational blocks for building special purpose extensions.

Koping with Change: What kops Learned Adopting etcd3, cluster-api and CRDs - Justin Santa Barbara, Google & Mike Splain, Sonos
Kubernetes continues to adds features rapidly, but this makes it hard to install and operating a reliable kubernetes cluster. kops is an official OSS installation tool that makes kubernetes installation and operation turn-key.

But doing that requires that kops manage that complexity. We’ve had a busy year, migrating to etcd3, moving from an aggregated-apiserver to CRDs, starting to adopt the cluster-api. At the same time we’re taking the best pieces of kops and contributing them "upstream" into reusable modules - contributing to etcd-management and addon-management tools, as well as to the cluster-api.

We’ll give an overview of these changes and some of the challenges we faced, and share our strategies for dealing with the relentless pace of kubernetes change. We’ll also talk about how the upcoming roadmap for kubernetes, kops and for the components we’re spinning out of kops.

Benchmarking Cloud Native Databases Performance on Kubernetes - Iqbal Farabi & Tara Baskara, GO-JEK
CNCF defines cloud native technologies as, "technologies that empower organizations to build and run scalable applications in modern and dynamic environments. Cloud native technologies enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable”.

According to Kubernetes Application Survey 2018, SQL and NoSQL databases are the second and third most deployed types of software deployed to Kubernetes. However, currently there are only few benchmarking results available on cloud native databases as per CNCF definition.

Therefore, in this talk, we will present our findings on experiments to benchmark various cloud native databases such as Vitess, CockroachDB, FoundationDB, TiDB and YugaByte DB. The experiments try to benchmark scalability and elasticity of each databases when they’re running on Kubernetes.

Hacking Helm - Paul Czarkowski, Pivotal & Scott Rigby, Codeacademy
Helm is the best way to build, package, and run Kubernetes manifests. However it has been considered by some as a fairly insecure way to deploy software, mostly due to its server component Tiller. Let’s put that to the test and hack (and then protect from those hacks) Helm.

Paul will talk about the architecture behind Helm (v2) and how it is seen as particularly vulnerable to hacks designed to either gather information about deployed applications and even access the kubernetes cluster itself. Paul will then demonstrate several hacks in growing sophistication that do exactly that and then show how to protect yourself from those attacks. Paul will finish with a summary of how you can use Helm as securely as possible.

2 Years of TGIKubernetes - Joe Beda, VMware
2 years ago Joe Beda tweeted about a Friday afternoon “Hacking on Kubernetes with Joe”. The overall interest with overwhelming. The sessions serve as an archive of Kubernetes and cloud native knowledge that we share with the broader open source community. What started out as a fun carefree afternoon with Joe, later turned into one of the most prized cloud native resources on the internet. Join us as we talk about the lessons we learned, and talk about the struggle to get to where we are today.

We learn about how Kubernetes empowers engineers to “test drive” open source software at faster iteration cycles than ever before. With TGIK8s we have inadvertently discovered that sharing technology can cost an organization less in resources than encouraging independent evaluation of tooling.

Lifecycle of a kubectl Command: Harden Kubernetes Setup with Automation - Sanjary Rahman, Booking.com
We at Booking.com run tens of on-premise multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters at scale. To automate integration with our existing bare-metal infrastructure and for running kubectl auth pipeline, we run an ecosystem using custom Kubernetes Controllers, Pod Security Policies and Kubernetes Auth & Admission Webhooks.

Kubernetes provides end users with limitless possibilities of automation to harden cluster setup, secure authentication and authorization pipelines and validate workload definition as per organization requirements which most of the users are not aware of or make use of. Most of the time hardening Kubernetes setup in a multi-tenant cluster with per namespace based setup itself can turn into a huge toil for the operators.

In this talk, you will see how we at Booking.com have achieved the aforementioned features in a fully automated fashion with zero human intervention involved.

Deep Dive: Kubernetes Metric APIs Using Prometheus - Matthias Loibl & Sergiusz Urbaniak, Red Hat
Kubernetes traditionally uses metrics for its core scheduling decisions - in the beginning all of this started with an opinionated internal stack. Since then Kubernetes has introduced 3 orthogonal standardized metrics APIs. As of today many implementations exist - i.e. for cloud providers and on premise.

In this talk we will first show the community process around metrics in Kubernetes, how the Special Interest Group (SIG) for instrumentation works and how to get involved. We will do an overview and deep dive in all 3 metric APIs, with a concrete fully open source Prometheus based deployment example. Once we have Prometheus running we will show how to bridge the gap between Prometheus and Kubernetes to use these APIs. Finally, we will conclude the talk with an example on scaling your deployments based on custom metrics served by your Prometheus with the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.

The Magic of Kubernetes Self-Healing Capabilities - Saad Ali, Google
Kubernetes is used to manage large-scale clusters with hundreds or thousands of nodes. Components will inevitably fail at this scale, but human intervention to detect and correct these failures is unsustainable. This is where Kubernetes shines. With a declarative API and guarantees of eventual consistency, Kubernetes is able to continuously monitor the system and take actions to keep the cluster healthy.

This talk provides an architectural overview of the self-healing capabilities of Kubernetes. We will discuss how these capabilities are born from the declarative API, and how Kubernetes components work together to drive to the desired state. We will provide detailed examples from the volume subsystem which automatically makes storage available to containers. We will end by revealing edge cases that Kubernetes currently doesn’t handle well, and explain the plans to address these issues.

The Serverless Landscape and Event Driven Futures - Dee Kumar, CNCF & Arun Gupta, AWS
Serverless design patterns have grown in popularity amongst developers and enterprises alike and the ecosystem is exploding. Developers like moving faster by focusing on business logic without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Today, there are umpteen solutions and OSS projects in the market and the space needs some organization to maximize effort.
There is a lot of curiosity and confusion around serverless computing. What is it? Who is it for? Is it a replacement for IaaS, PaaS, and containers? Does that mean the days of servers are over? The CNCF created the Serverless Working Group to explore the intersection of cloud native and serverless technology. The first output of the group was creation of serverless landscape. The landscape lists some of the more common/popular Serverless projects, platforms, tooling, and services.

Benefits of a Service Mesh When Integrating Kubernetes with Legacy Services - Stephan Fudeus & David Meder-Marouelli, 1&1 Mail & Media Development & Technology GmbH
Having Kubernetes for your service landscape is great. Having a service mesh technology inside is even better - but there are legacy services, too. Leveraging the benefits of a service mesh is possible even without migrating all your legacy services into your kubernetes cluster - you can integrate them into the mesh.

We'll give a brief overview of the properties and benefits of service meshes in general and specifically how they are configurable in Istio. Then we'll have a look at the expansion of the mesh to services outside of kubernetes. We'll go into how the expansion is done, what needs to be done in the legacy systems and what obstacles we had to overcome.
On a sidetrack we'll show a "service mesh light", a mechanism to make legacy services protected by IP ACLs accessible from your kubernetes cluster, without deploying a full fledged service mesh implementation.

Deconstructing Apache Hadoop: A Dialogue About a Cloud-Native Refactor - Anu Engineer & Marton Elek, Cloudera
Many existing applications like the Big Data stack is in a community debate over moving to K8s. They see it as the future, but there are lots of unknowns and complex problems to solve. This is a dialogue between two developers who are exploring and trying to finding the true path to becoming Cloud Native.

In this talk, we will discuss in detail our experiences and issues that we have faced in moving the Hadoop Object store Ozone as a Cloud native storage solution that runs on top of K8s.

We will take a deep dive into the advantages and challenges that we faced during this journey — having a cluster manager like K8s allows us to move away from managing physical details and instead focus on the storage part. Some of the challenges were things like security and how we tackle that.

Ready? A Deep Dive into Pod Readiness Gates for Service Health Management - Minhan Xia, Google & Ping Zou, Intuit
This talk will be a deep dive on “pod readiness gates”, a new Kubernetes API for extending pod readiness with custom external controllers and introduce its usage in real world scenarios with service health management. Kubernetes clusters that integrate with external network infrastructure (such as a cloud provider) need a way to coordinate Kubernetes Pod “readiness” with setup latencies in the network fabric. Not tackling this problem causes lost packets and dropped connections OR requires inserting worst-case delays to pod startup to account for external setup. It allows Foremast, an open source engine to maintain the health of applications running on K8s, to remediate similar problems in a much smoother way.
 
Minhan and Ping will cover the coordination problem, how the new pod readiness gate API fixes the issue and experiences from both Google and Intuit using the API with real workloads. At Google, this API is used to ensure no traffic disruption occurs for user service across changes to the workload. At Intuit, this API is used to maintain application health during canary deployment using Foremast.
