ScaleX hosted by Cisco (Additional Registration + Fee Required)
Why join us for ScaleX?

Today, it’s all about apps and digital services – not just to keep the business running – but to also grow and compete even more aggressively. But modern cloud native development can be complicated with the lack of true pipeline integration across tools for application platforms, security, and networking for an app-first world.

This is exactly what inspired us to create ScaleX. We have a full day of sessions that explore what building for scalability and reliability means for the modern cloud native developer. At ScaleX, you’ll hear from the people building, operating, and maintaining reliable cloud native systems at scale in a full day of tutorials, deep dives, and use cases.

It’s time to put scalability and reliability first when building, operating, and maintaining truly cloud native systems. So, be sure to join us at ScaleX!

Production Identity Day: SPIFFE + SPIRE (Additional Registration + Fee Required)
“Production identity” is a common set of identity and authentication challenges facing distributed systems.  Many spend significant time and effort in establishing trusted bi-directional communication between different parts of the system.  Often these are lacking in many respects: not rooted in sound identity “bedrock”, no ability to rotate credentials, no federation with other systems, and few policy opportunities (which are highly valued and critical for enterprises).

SPIFFE and SPIRE are CNCF incubating projects that aim to solve these challenges in a common way by defining and implementing a universal identity control plane that can be leveraged across many different types of systems — not just containerized or cloud native.

We are excited to host the first Production Identity Day at KubeCon to share learnings around the latest developments in the space, exhibit demonstrations, and discuss real-world use cases with others who share an interest in identity, authentication, and zero trust security.

By accessing this sponsored session, the third party sponsor will receive some of your registration data. This data includes your First Name, Last Name, Title, Company, Address, Email, Standard Demographics Questions (I.e. Company Size, Job Function, Industry), and details about the sponsored content you interacted with. If you choose to access sponsored sessions, 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.

The greatest barrier to cloud native adoption is security. Microservices, Kubernetes, and cloud computing itself all increase the attack surface of your infrastructure and decrease the administrative controls available to security teams. You can overcome this barrier by designing your architecture around Zero Trust. Zero Trust may sound like a buzzword, but it’s a powerful idea -- instead of creating security perimeters around your services, enable each service to individually authenticate and authorize incoming requests.

In this talk we’ll show you how you can secure your cloud native infrastructure with Zero Trust by building a solid foundation with SPIFFE and SPIRE, and then adding OPA, Envoy, and other open source security tools to protect against specific attacks. We’ll show sample architectures from Fortune 500 organizations and examine how they got there.

A Flight Over the Cloud Native Landscape - Carson Anderson, Weave
The Cloud Native Computing Landscape is big! And it's just getting bigger all the time. There are already 12 graduated and 21 incubating projects in the foundation! Most of us have heard of a few of these projects. But who really knows what they all do? And more importantly: how they all fit together?

This presentation is a speed-run through all 33 graduated and incubating projects, what they are on a surface level, and how they relate to each other. The presentation will be given with zero bullet points and a lot of visual aid. *Projects promoted to incubating status during the conference may not be covered.

Malicious actors are moving as quickly as development teams to exploit weaknesses in cloud native applications. Far too often we see common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations as the culprit of the latest security incident. Securing critical cloud native applications requires the ability to identify the root causes of these risks and the speed to mitigate them pre-production. In this talk we will cover the processes needed to stay ahead of the bad actors and tools needed to inject security throughout the development lifecycle.

1. How security and development teams can succeed together
2. Purpose built security tools that embed security checks directly into familiar DevOps tooling
3. The scanning of IaC templates, K8's manifests and container images in the CI/CD pipeline
4. Enforce zero trust posture and runtime security

Achieving observability for services, including those running in the cloud, is no small undertaking. Using cloud-native services brings many monitoring challenges. Developers have unique observability requirements to capture data from multiple metric sources from containers, deployment methods.
AppDynamics has made significant improvements to automate agent deployment for Kubernetes and non-containerized VM/bare-metal applications to simplify the potentially complex operational and monitoring challenges. Our APM agents offer a full set of features around tracing, dynamic instrumentation, and AI/ML-based root cause analysis.
The all-new AppDynamics Kubernetes Cluster agent supports the ability to capture log snippets and associate with container events. Automatically instrument APM for Java, Node.js, and .NET core applications. Learn how the AppDynamics platform can help you focus on application, infrastructure, and cloud insights that directly impact your business the most.
Learn more about how to gain full observability of Kubernetes from Jeff Holmes, our resident Kubernetes expert.

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


A vulnerability scanner for containers doesn’t help a user decide how to handle vulnerabilities. For example, even if a critical vulnerability is found, some organizations may accept the risk of it. The policy for vulnerability handling depends on the organization, and in many cases, the person in charge has to make a manual judgement based on this policy every time. This is time-consuming.

This talk demonstrates how to automatically handle vulnerabilities detected by a scanner using OPA.
- The vulnerabilities found by a scanner in CI are handled automatically by Open Policy Agent
- Applying custom policy, OPA shows users which vulnerabilities to address

This automatic vulnerability handling in CI will be demonstrated live, along with Trivy, which is an open source vulnerability scanner for containers. The same policy handling model could be used with any scanner.

Universal operators take the operator concept beyond Kubernetes, enabling a consistent approach to automating infrastructure and applications, from bare metal to virtual machines and containers.

Join our demo and see us utilise universal operators to help data scientists manage their AI/ML pipelines - from Ceph to Kubernetes, and from workstations to production. The Python operator framework (structured to easily write universal operators) provides a single, coherent approach to abstracting complexity across the hardware stack and software lifecycle, enabling businesses to focus on innovation.

Everyone agrees that for today’s highly dynamic and complex systems, observability is key.

Building observability into your work - especially if it is a library or framework to be used by many - should be on your to-do list for 2020. OpenTelemetry, a CNCF project that aims to create a vendor agnostic telemetry platform, is just the perfect fit for such use-cases and at Dynatrace we built in OpenTelemetry into one of our OpenSource projects: Keptn.sh.

In this session, we will show you how he used OpenTelemetry to make Keptn observable while staying completely agnostic to which monitoring backend might later be used.

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!

We will walk you through the development of the full ML pipeline using Kubernetes and another Open Source application called KubeDirector. You will learn how to train, register, and finally, query your model for answers. In addition, you will learn how a new capability of KubeDirector called “Connections” enables a dynamic, always up-to-date ML model.

Since the rise of Kubernetes, GitOps workflows have become the standard way for teams to manage the state of large systems. GitOps is a way to perform application management and delivery, which at its core leverages a version control system to maintain the desired state of the system. Being able to describe the desired state using human readable text files, and allowing automation to handle deployments and updates based on those files, means less opportunity for human error and faster deployments.

In this training I’m going to walk you through;
-Setting up a GitHub repository to serve as a version control system
-Create automation to enable your team to check out a repository from GitHub.
-Install and configure a local InfluxDB OSS instance to mimic production.
-Make changes and push those changes to the repository.
-Deploy those changes automatically into the production account using GitHub Actions.

Operators and CSI have been discussed a lot at recent KubeCons. There’s good reason for that. They're both essential for simplifying stateful workloads. Operators make stateful apps approachable, and CSI de-couples upstream Kubernetes and storage systems. Both mean storage innovation is easier and quicker.

As a result, attendees might see some interesting names appearing for the first time. DPDK, SPDK, PMEM-CSI, COSI, and TiFlash are just a few that they might stumble across in the schedule. What’s remarkable, is how Operators and CSI are still present and essential for most of the presentations. They’re just becoming a “boring” yet essential part of the stack.

In this talk we’ll dive deeper into DPDK and SPDK. They open up some amazing speed potential for OpenEBS (a CNCF Sandbox project). Kubernetes is seeing the “cool” storage tech first, and that’s exciting!

Security as Code has yet to gain the same popularity or notoriety as the practice of Infrastructure as Code.  Infrastructure as Code has become a cornerstone to automating software development pipelines, increasing development velocity and operational efficiency. Unfortunately, defining fine-grained security policies early in an SDLC is a much more complex, nuanced and (hopefully) layered endeavor.  
To both the developer and the user, security shares neither critical path nor perceived value as new functionality is delivered. Yes, of course everyone cares when there is a breach or an attack or a laptop goes missing. But in ephemeral environments, the more granular the security the more likely it changes. When security changes have more potential to slow development velocity or “take down production”, developers, operations and security are left trying to balance creating, testing & managing security vs time spent delivering business differentiating value.
NeuVector Engineer Tracy Walker examines a single security use case - egress control - and in 15 minutes describes how the granularity and management implemented via Security as Code differs between Kubernetes, Openshift, Istio, and NeuVector.

I need HELP - my team is responsible for the Kubernetes environment, but I don’t know ANYTHING about it. I know, I’ll hire someone with experience!

Over the last few years (NOT 12!), Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for orchestrating and managing containers. Virtually all the cloud vendors have thrown their support behind Kubernetes as an industry standard.

With the rise of Kubernetes, engineers and operators need better visibility to understand and explore the performance of their cloud-native applications and infrastructure.

Is Kubernetes part of your current or future software delivery practice? Are you responsible for your company's Kubernetes environment?

This session will show how to get observability into your Kubernetes environment with the help of New Relic. We’ll cover how to set up and use the New Relic Kubernetes cluster explorer as well as best practices.

The solution is performance tuning automation. Come and learn from Opsani's Co-founder and CTO as he illustrates his personal journey in the cloud industry and how it has taught him the need for continuous optimization as a service for enterprises. Opsani allows companies to tune a single service or all services across the service delivery platform autonomously. Opsani continuously delivers value through higher performance, improved availability, and lower costs.

See how some of the largest enterprises have autonomously optimized thousands of their workloads across their service delivery platform with Opsani, saving countless human hours for developers and budget dollars, while delivering better customer experience.

As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale. Deployment manifests can be defined in Helm, Kustomize or k8s yaml files and can be tailored based on attributes of the target clusters. In this demo, we will walk through getting started with Rancher Continuous Delivery and provide examples of how to leverage this powerful new tool in Rancher 2.5. Topics we’ll cover:
1. An overview of Rancher Continuous Delivery
2. How to configure cluster groups and tie them to Git repositories
3. How to manage deployments on the local cluster
4. How to deploy an application across multiple clusters

When Kubernetes announced the support for Mutating admission controllers in 1.9 release, the sidecar pattern really became a “first-class citizen” of Kubernetes. Many of the infrastructure teams at Salesforce independently chose the Kubernetes mutating admission controller webhook model to dynamically inject sidecars in Kubernetes workloads. This worked well until we realized that each of the teams was writing the same code, debugging the same problems and testing the same code. At that point we took a step back and created a generic way of dealing with injection of sidecars and open sourced it. With very little configuration, any team can create a mutating admission controller without writing any code that works based on annotations and is battle tested. Let's take a look at the demo.

In today’s application world, complexity rules. We have elastic and ephemeral environments, clouds of all shapes; continual growth in data sources. Add to that the fact that “slow is the new down”. So while things can appear to be simpler, that doesn’t mean easier. Abstractions like containers and orchestration mean our tools need to be faster and capable of helping us discover just what is going on.
Today, you need to move to rich observability data, to cover the wide interaction of our infrastructure and applications. We need to be able to answers questions that we never considered. We need full-fidelity data in real-time and world-class monitoring, analysis and response options.

It has been said that open source software is eating the world and in the observability space, the project behind this movement is OpenTelemetry. The project is currently in beta and is quickly becoming the standard for instrumentation and data collection of observability data. When it comes to observability, there are lots of opinions, but limited answers. Understanding what data to collect and how to collect it properly is fundamental to ensuring users have the ability to address availability and performance issues quickly. Doing so in an open-source and vendor-agnostic way empowers users to instrument once and via configuration select the back-end that best serves their requirements. This talk will discuss the components of the project, how you can get started, and how you can get involved.

If you’ve spent time deploying Kubernetes applications, you know it can be pretty arduous to configure them -- there are so many different objects, so many knobs and dials, so many cross-references to keep track of. Further, in most cases, defaults are geared towards making it easy for users to get their apps up-and-running quickly, and not for secure, production-ready configurations. In this talk, I will introduce KubeLinter, an open-source tool, that solves these problems by linting Kubernetes YAML files and Helm charts to ensure they follow best practices. I will do a hands-on demo of the tool, showing its use on a developer laptop as well as in a CI system.

Back in the day we were told that cloud computing would revolutionize how we work. The complexities of the infrastructure would be abstracted away from us and we could focus on what really matters... the code in our applications. Are we there yet?

To some extent there has definitely been some progress. IaaS has abstracted how we work with VMs, and Kubernetes has abstracted how we manage containers - but in many cases the complexities of the underlying infrastructure are not just still visible but "in your face". And, not all of these issue are simply a matter of a nicer UX either.

There has been some recent advances made though, and in this session we'll explore what some of the challenges are that people are facing, and what work has been done to help us get closer to our goal of letting developers be developers, not infrastructure experts.

Kubernetes most well known artifacts are in forms of manifest files (we’re no stranger to yaml), container images, and its objects among other things. What about it’s cultural artifacts? What are they?   Throughout history, we’ve leaned on cultural artifacts to help us tell stories of the past that help shape our future. Those artifacts didn’t stop with ancient periods; they build in communities of the present, even open source communities like ours. Some of these are in git repos spread across the org, others in our hearts. Our most well known cultural artifact, the Kubernetes heptagon and wheel logo, has several stories that many of you have already heard, we’ll build on those and more in this talk.

In 15 minutes, Nikhita and Paris from Kubernetes Steering Committee will tell a story of the last five years of artifacts that have been created and impacted the most by its contributors.

Graduated Project Lightning Talk: Improved TiKV Observability: How We Trace Events under Nanoseconds Latency - Wish Shi & Zhenchi Zhong, PingCAP
Observability is beneficial but often comes with a price. When adding tracing to low latency services (e.g. < 1ms), engineers might find notable performance degradation. Besides, trade-off solutions have inherent limitations. For example, sampled tracing may leave errors or unusual latency sampled out and missed.

In this talk, Wish Shi and Zhenchi Zhong will share their experience in implementing a high-performance OpenTracing-compatible tracing library, which was originally created for TiKV. The library can trace events under nanoseconds latency without sampling on the modern x64 architecture. Decisions, design details and trade-offs will be presented, along with an open-source implementation available in both Rust and Golang.

Are you using the default Ingress Controller to route traffic into your Kubernetes cluster? Many times when using a new product, we all tend to stick with the default settings and tools that ship with it. This gives you time to get your feet wet without needing to become an expert on all of its bells and whistles. However, the defaults may not always be the best for you! In this talk, we'll provide five reasons to rethink your decision to stick with the default ingress controller and why you may want to consider an alternative.

Attendees will leave this talk equipped with the knowledge needed to evaluate whether the default ingress controller is right for them and allow them to weigh an alternative.

Kubernetes helps accelerate application modernization. When adopting K8s, you generate a lot of data that must be protected. This includes K8s persistent data, plus data on laptops, source-code control systems, and CI/CD systems. Protecting, recovering, and migrating your data and applications requires agility and deep awareness of your application data across on-prem and cloud locations.

You can take an application-centric approach focused on capturing the entire K8s application (manifests, persistent data, dependent resources) and/or an infrastructure-centric approach focused on leveraging next gen software-defined storage that is integrated into K8s via CSI. Both are valid depending on what you are trying to achieve.

In this session, we’ll cover:
o What data to protect in Kubernetes
o What data to protect outside Kubernetes (e.g., etcd)
o How to adopt a holistic data protection approach

Graduated Project Lightning Talk: containerd: Rootless Containers 2020 - Akihiro Suda, NTT
Rootless Containers means running the container runtimes (e.g. runc, containerd, and kubelet) as well as the containers without the host root privileges.  The most significant advantage of Rootless Containers is that it can mitigate potential container-breakout vulnerability of the runtimes, but it is also useful for isolating multi-user environments on HPC hosts.    This talk will contain the introduction to rootless containers and deep-dive topics about the recent updates such as Seccomp User Notification.  The main focus will be on containerd (CNCF Graduated Project) and its consumer projects including Kubernetes and Docker/Moby, but topics about other runtimes will be discussed as well.

Monitoring Kubernetes performance at scale presents numerous challenges. With containers and orchestrators becoming very popular - creating highly dynamic environments - there's a strong need to monitor them dynamically. Comprehensive monitoring provides enterprises running traditional or microservice-based applications on Kubernetes an end-to-end solution to deliver flawless application experiences.

Kubernetes monitoring gives organizations complete observability into application and business performance, providing unparalleled insights into containerized applications, Kubernetes clusters, Docker containers, and underlying infrastructure metrics - all through a single pane of glass. It is critical to correlate events in Kubernetes with contextual insights to help troubleshoot issues and understand how to track end-user experience from those applications.

Build Your Own Envoy Control Plane - Steve Sloka, VMware
Envoy is a building block of many different solutions from Ingress controllers, Service mesh implementations, as well as functions as a service application frameworks. Any solution utilizing Envoy as its data path component most likely implements Envoy’s xDS API in some way. It is possible to only use a fully static configuration, but typically more complicated deployments incrementally add more complex dynamic configuration via xDS over gRCP. This talk will walk through how the xDS API is defined and what each component does. We’ll discuss lessons learned from Contour, an ingress controller for Kubernetes on how the team implemented xDS (and also struggled with it). Come take a look at how you can build a full Envoy control plane for yourself!

PID 1, SIG Handling, Hooks & Probes: Managing Container Lifecycle Correctly - Anmol Krishan Sachdeva, OLX Group, Naspers
The lifecycle of an application should be tightly linked to the container hosting it. In an environment like Kubernetes where the Pods get created and deleted left, right, and centre, if an application hasn't implemented signal handling correctly, ungraceful termination of that application is most likely to happen and it could lead to disrupted services. For running the containers in a reliable fashion with proper signal handling and lifecycle management, there are a few strategies that should be followed which this talk would be covering: ~ Signal handling through `init` system - covers PID 1, orphans and zombie processes, Linux signals, `dumb-init` or `tini`. ~ Utilizing postStart and preStop lifecycle hooks for initialization and graceful termination. ~ Liveness, Readiness, and Startup probes. ~ Key differences between the postStart hook, initContainer, and Startup Probe.

The Building Blocks of DX: K8s Evolution From CLI to GitOps - Katie Gamanji, Cloud Native Computing Foundation
In the past years, Kubernetes has become the default container orchestrator framework, setting the standards for application deployment in a distributed architecture. Wider adaptability of the tool prompted the diversification of the end-user base, and a consistent DX for cluster interaction became essential for Kubernetes. The community channeled herculean efforts towards the enhancement of developer experience by extending the cluster CLI, building portals, and highly-responsive UIs. This talk will focus on the cluster DX chronicles, showcasing tools which contributed to wider adoption for Kubernetes. An emphasis will be placed on cluster CLI and how it can be extended using kubectl plugins and wrappers. This will be followed by an introduction of widespread cluster state managers, covering mechanisms such as GitOps, ClickOps, and even SheetOps.

High Performance Networking for Distributed DL Training in Production K8s - Nivedita Viswanath & Vatsan Kasturi, NVIDIA
Distributed DL training requires high performance networks connecting tens, hundreds, or for certain natural language processing models, even thousands of GPUs. Running these workloads on Kubernetes clusters of GPU enhanced servers requires careful engineering to avoid bottlenecks at NIC and switching fabric that act as interconnect between nodes. In this presentation we will describe the design and architecture of a 800 GPU cluster interconnected over RoCE fabric to achieve line rate performance between communicating containers in a multi-node job. Some of the topics we will cover are scalable cookie-cutter POD design for DC, low latency one hop network design that enables NCCL rings to avoid output port congestion and K8s integration with a multi-homed network for optimal GPU utilization. We will share performance numbers for training workloads from our production clusters.

Static Analysis of Kubernetes Manifests - Barak Schoster, Bridgecrew
Planning, provisioning, and changing infrastructure are becoming vital to rapid cloud application development. Incorporating infrastructure-as-code into software development promotes transparency and immutability and helps prevent bad configurations upstream. In this talk, we'll cover best practices for writing, testing, and maintaining infrastructure at scale using policy-as-code both in CI/CD and kubernetes cluster runtime. We'll compare the two methods and review sample use cases that showcase the benefits of each. In addition we'll cover the current state of open source repositories and kubernetes manifests found in the wild.

Serverless or Servicefull - Sebastien Goasguen, Triggermesh
While containers and container orchestration has taken the world by storm over the last five years, serverless offering that hides the complexity of the underlying infrastructure and the application management mechanisms are becoming the norm within the main Cloud providers. In this talk we will discuss whether or not serverless should in fact be called "servicefull". Indeed serverless computing architecture is all about using events and functions to integrate cloud services together. The world is not so much without servers, they are definitely still there somewhere, but the world is now full of services. The cloud has become our kernel, it is made of a myriad of API exposing cloud services, our world has become servicefull and not serverless. With this difference exposed we will discuss how k8s extensions can help us integrate services and move towards servicefull applications.

The Open Source Revolution: How Kubernetes is Changing the Games Industry - Dominic Green, Netspeak Games
Traditional multiplayer game development involves dozens if not hundreds of engineers over several years building custom made backends - often from scratch. Companies have recently moved to GCP or AWS but most games infrastructure runs on metal - often using multiple providers. Cost, latency & security are all cited as the primary deciding factors when architecting a modern online game; but a new vector is emerging - speed. Specifically, speed of development; how fast can you FIND the game to make is the new race that modern games companies are finding themselves in & the open-source ecosystem is going to be their new best friend. Dominic Green will run through how Netspeak Games has taken advantage of cloud-native technologies and built out their games infrastructure on top of Kubernetes, Agones & Open Source Software - building an MMO that supports 100,000s of concurrent players.

Contain Your Enthusiasm for Go Dev: Fast, Simple Go+Docker Development - Ed Warnicke, Cisco
Go modules are awesome! Docker based development is awesome! Bring them together and there are... problems: Go does a brilliant job of caching both source module dependencies and binary artifacts. When building Go in docker containers, while there are hacks to get source dependencies into the Docker cache, all the binary artifacts still have to be rebuilt, greatly increasing build times. And what happens when you need to work on some of the dependencies of the repo you are docker building? There's no good answer. What about debugging and testing? Go has fantastic debugging and testing tools, but there's no clear simple pattern for using them when doing Docker based development. This talk provides clear, simple, battle tested patterns for solving these problems in ways that are both Go-like and Docker-like. Examples will be drawn from Network Service Mesh and its usage of Spire.

Strategies for Multi-Cluster Routing - Leigh Capili, Weaveworks
Everyday, we're dealing with more and more clusters. With that comes fun networking problems! Are you bridging the gap between Kubernetes in the cloud and your own on-premise data-centers? Perhaps you need to access a service managed by another team in an entirely different cloud! Kubernetes has great in-cluster routing, service-discovery, and policy enforcement. This lets us deploy workloads very fast, but how do we keep up with these changes across clusters? If you're struggling to integrate kubernetes into your network and preserve the benefits, this talk is for you. We'll cover: - Public & Private Load-Balancers - ACME, mTLS, & Wildcard Ingress - Route Sharing via BGP / OSPF - Using other cluster's DNS servers - Multi-Cluster Canaries - Bootstrap & Repeatable Config You'll leave knowing more on these strategies' trade-offs and how to apply them to your own cluster networks.

The service mesh hype cycle is well and truly in effect, and almost everyone believes their organization needs a service mesh, even if some don’t fully understand the use case this technology covers. But what about the edge? Practically every Internet-based application needs to get traffic from users into backend services. Join this panel to learn about the importance of both use cases from a range of experts in the traffic management domain. Topics to be discussed include: - Opinions on the relevant importance of both the north-south (ingress) and east-west (service) traffic management use cases - Real-world adoption stories of cloud native proxies, such as Envoy - Experiences on migration to cloud native edge gateways - Tell-tale signs that an organization should consider adopting a service mesh (or not) - Technology choices in the edge gateway and service mesh space

Hands-On Stateful Serverless Applications with K8s and Stateful Functions - Seth Wiesman, Ververica
Stateful Functions (https://statefun.io/) is a framework that makes it simple to build consistent stateful serverless applications. StateFun is designed to work with popular event-driven FaaS platforms like AWS Lambda, KNative, etc., and provides out-of-the-box consistent state and reliable messaging to FaaS platforms, in a way that preserves the serverless experience and elasticity of these platforms. Stateful Functions is not a library that proxies state access to a database, but an independent event-driven stack replacing the traditional database. The talk will take the audience step-by-step through building and deploying a Stateful Functions application that tracks user events and runs a stateful ML classifier.

With the success of the Kubernetes ecosystem, users now have a many choices when it comes to Kubernetes tools. While it's great for users to have options, lots of choices can make it difficult for Kubernetes users to make decisions or know where to start. Additionally, organizations may use several different tools internally that users must familiarize themselves with. A high-level understanding of the this ecosystem is necessary to easily navigate the world of Kubernetes. Gabbi and Phillip will provide an overview of well-known and up-and-coming Kubernetes CLIs. They will then explore the broader architectures used by these tools, and finally how users should think about their own tools they are building.

Managing Developer Workflows with the Kubernetes API - Colin Murphy, Adobe
Write your own Kubernetes client to keep application teams from breaking their products. Kubernetes is incredibly powerful. It's extensibility allows for limitless varieties of architecture. But how do you get hundreds of engineers to follow the same conventions when creating their applications? For us at Adobe Document Cloud, the answer was to write our own Kubernetes client. It's easy to get started and well worth the investment for larger organizations. Writing your own client allows you to have much greater control over the deployment process, including secrets and change management. It also allows you to integrate with your existing deployment systems and reduces the cognitive load on your engineering teams.

How to Build a Cloud Native Image Recognition Solution - Rolando Carrasco, SPS & Akshai Parthasarathy, Oracle
Fn Project is an open source project for serverless functions. We want to share how we used Fn, AutoML Natural Language Processing, and K8s to improve older Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. The resulting image recognition application has been extensively tested at a bank in Mexico. Unlike older OCR tech, the new application does not use pre-defined markers such as “name,” “phone number,” or “address” to extract information. Instead, it works by recognizing these fields using machine learning – even if the ML model has not been trained with a document/picture of that type. The audience will learn how to create and scale serverless functions and Kubernetes. In addition, we will demonstrate how to leverage AutoML to read documents/pictures from any source, classify and extract fields of interest using a pre-trained ML model, store information to a NoSQL database.

What will Helm 4 look like? To get there, we need to go back to the beginning. In this talk, we cover the history of the Helm project from its early hackathon days through the tumultuous refactorings as Helm worked its way to becoming a graduated CNCF project. There were good times. There were rough times. And throughout, we had to continually ask ourselves what exactly we were trying to build. In the aftermath of Helm 3, we have reached new levels of clarity about where we want to go, and how we want to build a tool that continues to serve the needs of the Kubernetes community.

Codename VIFL - How to Migrate MySQL Database Clusters to Vitess - Guido Iaquinti & Rafael Chacon, Slack
Have you ever considered migrating a database system at scale with no downtime? Many of us that have tried, often find it an insurmountable challenge for both developers and database engineers. Most of the time, companies start these kinds of migrations and leave them half done. This creates significant toil and costs in operations teams that have to pay the cost of running both legacy and new systems indefinitely. In this talk, Rafael and Guido will discuss how they designed and built a migration framework and then executed it to move petabytes of data from Slack's legacy database architecture to Vitess with zero downtime. The approach proposed in this framework is transparent to the application and didn't require coordination with the rest of the engineering team. It is also general enough that people considering migrating to Vitess can leverage it in their own environments.

Tutorial: Manage Apps and Cloud Resources in Unified Approach with Kubernetes - Jianbo Sun, Alibaba & Jared Watts, Upbound
How easy is it to use cloud resources alongside with your Kubernetes applications? Actually, provisioning cloud resources and consuming them by the k8s apps is never an easy game. We usually need to struggle in creating cloud services one by one in different cloud product consoles and configuring them separately. Essentially, cloud and k8s are two different systems, interoperability is the missing part. In this tutorial, audience will walk through a unified and standard approach to manage apps and cloud resources. We will do an end-to-end workshop from modeling a distributed app which consumes various cloud resources in unified definition, to practices like dependency management, service binding, and cost management for the cloud.

Project Tye: Building Developer Focused Tooling for Kubernetes and .NET - David Fowler & Justin Kotalik, Microsoft
As Kubernetes and Docker become more prevalent, we have made some hypotheses about the current state of microservices: • Container orchestrators were made for operations teams, not developers. • Kubernetes popularized patterns that are now prominent for microservices that are very hard to replicate locally (for e.g. sidecars). • Developers want to use the tools they are accustomed to when running locally. • Developers rarely need to run the full application during development. • Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests duplicate lots of information that exist in developer assets. Project Tye is an experiment by the .NET team to solve common challenges that developers have while developing and deploying microservices. Project Tye includes a local orchestrator to make developing microservices easier and the ability to deploy microservices to Kubernetes with minimal configuration.

Being a Good Citizen of the Multi-operator World - Devdatta Kulkarni, CloudARK
DevOps teams are increasingly using multiple Kubernetes Operators in their clusters. What does it take to develop an Operator that is a good citizen of the multi-Operator world? The talk focuses on this question. To develop an Operator that plays nicely with other Operators in a cluster, Operator developers need to consider various aspects like, what should go in Custom Resource Spec definition, in the CRD YAML and in the Operator's Helm chart? To help Operator developers build Operators that are good citizen of the multi-Operator world, we have developed a framework named as, Operator Maturity Model (https://github.com/cloud-ark/kubeplus/blob/master/Operator-Maturity-Model.md).

Cloud Native & SD-WAN: Improving K8s Application Experience Over SD-WAN - Alberto Rodriguez-Natal, Cisco & Mark Church, Google
Access to Kubernetes-hosted applications across Wide Area Networks (WANs) is a standard pattern for Enterprise apps. Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) technologies have democratized access patterns across the Internet through latency reduction, throughput improvement, and packet loss prevention. However, integration between SD-WAN and K8s is still an emerging field, despite the automation opportunities. This talk shows how to link K8s application attributes with SD-WAN network capabilities. The recently open-sourced Cloud-Native SD-WAN (CNWAN) K8s Operator offers a reference implementation for how SD-WAN controllers can use K8s application metadata to optimize application WAN traffic. This talk discusses developer workflows for deploying K8s-hosted apps defining WAN attributes and patterns for publishing those apps via service discovery systems as an interface for SD-WAN controllers.

How to define reliability of a Kubernetes cluster? What are the SLOs? How many 9s is enough to ensure end-users are happy for a Kubernetes cluster with thousands of nodes? Service-level-objective (SLO) is the key to run large-scale production cluster reliably. Defining SLOs for classic web services is simple, since web requests are served synchronously with distinct status code. On the contrast, defining SLOs for Kubernetes services is obscured due to its intent-oriented design and declarative APIs. This talk first briefs the philosophy behind the SLO-driven approach for reliability engineering, followed by a deep dive of how SREs define SLOs for one of the world largest Kubernetes cluster in Ant Financial. Finally this talk shares concrete cases and lessons learned of building SLOs framework from several perspectives, including monitoring, alerting and tracing.

PKI the Wrong Way: Simple TLS Mistakes and Surprising Consequences - Tabitha Sable, Datadog
Effective management of TLS certificates and keys is a serious challenge when running Kubernetes at scale. TLS mutual authentication secures all the Kubernetes control plane components, but there are many details that must be right. This talk looks at some of the ways common mTLS configuration mistakes can be abused and how you can reduce that risk. The presentation begins with a tour of the basics of TLS mutual authentication and how it is used by each control plane component. Then, Tabitha will demonstrate several example misconfigurations, exploit them for your education and amusement, and share recommendations to prevent them in your own clusters. You'll leave with a stronger understanding of this essential element of Kubernetes cluster deployment.

Service Mesh Specifications and Why They Matter in Your Deployment - Lee Calcote & Kush Trivedi, Layer5
As the ubiquity of service meshes unfolds so does the need for vendor and technology-agnostic interfaces to interact with them. The Service Mesh Interface (SMI), the Service Mesh Performance Specification (SMPS), and Multi-Vendor Service Mesh Interoperation (Hamlet) are three open specifications solving the challenge of interoperability, workload and performance management between service meshes. Learn what makes each of these specifications unique and why they are very much needed. See each of these three specifications in-action as we use Meshery, the open source service mesh management plane to demonstrate the value and functionality of each service mesh abstraction, and the adherence of these specifications by Istio, Linkerd, Consul and other popular service meshes.

Beyond File and Block Storage in Kubernetes - Sidhartha Mani, MinIO
Kubernetes graduated Container Storage Interface (CSI) to GA status in v1.13. It has since evolved to support a large number of vendors and storage formats. It has brought the industry together in consensus about the best practices in storage. CSI only supports Block and File storage. Object storage is a fundamentally different paradigm where data is accessed over the network rather than locally. It allows applications to remain stateless, while offloading state into a blackbox over the network. Object storage is the key enabler for cloud migration. This paradigm however, does not have a standard mechanism for consumption in Kubernetes. In this talk, we discuss our efforts in bringing object storage into the forefront of kubernetes and introduce the Container Object Storage Interface (COSI) and cover: - Need for COSI - Best practices for using COSI - Designing apps to leverage COSI

If you purchased a Keynote-Only Pass, please watch the keynote on the LFX Event Dashboard.

Kubernetes and related projects have first-class support for serving and managing HTTP traffic. This makes sense since the most common protocol used by web servers is HTTP. However, there are many popular protocols in the world that are *not* HTTP. These protocols are used across a variety of domains, from IoT to gaming to telephony and more. In order to build cloud native services with these protocols, we need to understand how and where networking protocols are supported to uncover roadblocks preventing new applications in domains like IoT & gaming. This talk will provide you with a deep understanding of various projects and their protocol support to uncover what’s available today, what’s being worked and opportunities for the ecosystem to collaborate.

Sponsored Keynote: Marvin, Where is My Secure API? - Vijoy Pandey, Vice President, Engineering for Emerging Technologies and Incubations, Cisco
If you purchased a Keynote-Only Pass, please watch the keynote on the LFX Event Dashboard.

Modern cloud native developers use APIs and services from a variety of organic, public cloud and SaaS offers to build their apps and drive velocity. Unfortunately, this implies that the developer, security teams, infrastructure teams, the responsible SREs, and the management chain (e.g., CISOs) are out-of-sync and in the dark on the security ramifications behind any developer’s API choices. And worse, they have no visibility to the security exposure of the app's customers and their data.

This talk will highlight these challenges due to the velocity mismatch between these teams, the potential lack of compliance, and the risk to customer data due to these API decisions. We will explore how solving it earlier in the application development lifecycle will lower the cost of the exposure of the entire software (and hardware) stack as well as what needs to be done in the community to solve these problems in a software-driven manner. It’s time to Go Up and Shift Left.

A High-Schooler’s Guide to Kubernetes Network Observability - Drew Ripberger, Nirmata
The Kubernetes ecosystem provides fine attention to the use cases of almost all projects. At the same time, to a novice developer trying to break into distributed systems, Kubernetes can also be incredibly daunting at times. Kube-netc was a project developed by Drew Ripberger, a recent high school graduate turned summer intern at Nirmata. Kube-netc is built around creating all encompassing network observability. With eBPF capturing connection statistics and Prometheus exposing the processed metrics, kube-netc is a compelling example of how users can easily implement enhanced system awareness. Though prior to his internship, Drew had not used Kubernetes, or even heard of eBPF or Prometheus before getting assigned the project, this talk will take you through the creation of kube-netc and his journey from hacks and workarounds to utilizing everything that the CNCF ecosystem has to offer.

Building a Global Supercomputer with Virtual Kubelet - Dmitry Mishin, University of California San Diego & Adrien Trouillaud, Admiralty
Nautilus is a global Kubernetes cluster, product of the Pacific Research Platform (PRP) project at The University of California San Diego (UCSD) and many collaborating campuses. It aggregates compute resources from around the world. While that's impressive, there are issues that a single cluster cannot solve: in this case, decentralized governance. PRP participants delegate the control of some of their compute resources to UCSD. That wouldn't scale to a global network of independent institutions. So PRP, along with peer projects nationwide, decided to adopt Admiralty's open-source multi-cluster scheduler, which allows for decentralized control plane topologies. Dmitry will demo the federation of Nautilus with the clusters of other large scientific networks; Adrien will explain how Admiralty implemented Virtual Kubelet and the Kubernetes scheduler framework to make this possible.

CRI-O: The Runtime Control Room - Sascha Grunert, SUSE, Peter Hunt, Urvashi Mohnani, Mrunal Patel, Red Hat
There are many ways to customize the underlying container runtime in Kubernetes. Where Kubernetes API offers many knobs for tuning your workloads, using CRI-O gives you access to even more. CRI-O is a container runtime that provides an incubation space for new runtime features in a secure way. It exposes lower-level features with container annotations, runtime classes, and configuration variables, giving admins control over how and when these features are available, and paving a path for their eventual stabalization and wider adoption in Kubernetes. Join the CRI-O maintainers Peter Hunt, Sascha Grunert, Urvashi Mohnani and Mrunal Patel as they give an introduction of CRI-O and walk through the features and knobs CRI-O exposes.

Intro to Scaling Prometheus with Cortex - Tom Wilkie, Grafana Labs & Ken Haines, Microsoft
Have many, disparate Prometheus instances scattered around your organisation? Want a single, centralised place to store and query all your metrics? Don’t want to manually shard your metrics across instance? Want faster queries and indefinite retention? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, Cortex might be for you. Cortex is a horizontally scalable, highly available Prometheus-compatible TSDB. Cortex allows users to deploy a centralised, globally aggregated view of all their Prometheus instances, storing data indefinitely and scaling to hundred of millions of series. In this talk we will discuss a bit of Cortex's history, Cortex's architecture and how to get started with Cortex. Cortex is an Apache-licensed CNCF incubation project.

All You Can Eat Networking. Kubernetes Goodness for the Hungriest Workloads - Aloys Augustin, Cisco & Casey Davenport, Tigera
There are classes of workloads that are notoriously hungry when it comes to networking. Think big data, storage, analytics, 5G, virtual network functions, then encrypt it all at 40Gbps line rates. Kubernetes and the Kubernetes network model are increasingly seen as essential to help manage these workloads at scale. But the cost of containerization and container networking can be hard to swallow for workloads that are often used to having dedicated NICs and physical hardware. Our novel solution was to cook up a feast that is a fusion of two worlds: combining Calico, the popular cloud native Kubernetes network plugin, with VPP, a very fast and scalable userspace packet processing software. In this talk we will lift the lid on what we’ve been cooking and the key ingredients that made it possible to offer an all you can eat buffet for your hungriest workloads.

Optimizing Storage Assignment via Pod Scheduling Under Disturbance Factors - Kenji Morimoto, Cybozu, Inc.
For distributed storage systems like Ceph, it is essential to allocate node-local storage devices evenly among racks or regions. This talk introduces how to automate this allocation by using the "WaitForFirstConsumer" volume binding mode and tuning kube-scheduler. The use of "WaitForFirstConsumer" translates the problem of storage allocation into that of pod scheduling. Kenji and his colleagues in Cybozu utilize the feature of Topology Spread Constraints to distribute storage pods. They found that kube-scheduler needs tuning from the default to spread pods optimally under disturbance such as CPU consuming workloads. Since kube-scheduler is being improved, the tuning method varies according to the Kubernetes version. The talk covers the tuning methods for Kubernetes 1.17, 1.18, and 1.19. By distributing storage pods among racks, they achieved fault tolerance against a full rack failure.

Eating Your Vegetables: How to Manage 2.5 Million Lines of YAML - Daniel Thomson & Jesse Suen, Intuit
Configuration management, while overlooked and underappreciated, is a necessary component of a healthy Kubernetes diet. With over 200 clusters, 2500 git repositories, and 9000 namespaces, Intuit manages and deploys 2.5 million lines of Kubernetes configuration using GitOps. To handle this scale, over the years Intuit has experimented with different config management approaches including templating (Helm), overlays (Kustomize), codifying and abstracting (jsonnet, cdk8s), ultimately settling on Kustomize. Kustomize’s remote base capabilities allow our central team to define and distribute standard patterns and templates, while still allowing developers to overlay last-mile customizations on these templates. This session will explain our journey, hard lessons faced for managing YAML at scale, and where Intuit thinks the future of Kubernetes configuration management needs to head.

Real-World microservices implementations often use a variety of communication protocols and standards to build different services. gRPC has emerged as an efficient, reliable, and robust way to build inter-microservice communication owing to its rich service definition capabilities with protocol buffers, a variety of language support, and high performance. In this session, we will discuss how gRPC can be used to build inter-microservices communications. In this talk, we’ll explore fundamental gRPC communication patterns; Unary RPC, Server-side Streaming, Client-side Streaming, and Bi-directional Streaming, Understanding when and how to use gRPC Interceptors, Deadlines, Cancellation, Error Handling, Multiplexing, and Metadata, a network analysis of how gRPC communication works behind the scenes.

Supercharged Analytics for Prometheus Metrics with Spark, Presto, & Superset - Rob Skillington & Gibbs Cullen, Chronosphere
Prometheus continues to make it simple to alert, monitor and understand systems in a cloud native world with growing complexity. New connectors to big data query engines such as Spark and Presto enable us to ask more complex questions than ever before. We can ask questions such as “Which of my deployments in Kubernetes account for the majority of compute and network costs, and how has that grown and shrunk with respect to doing real work such as query volume from users?” We’ll walk through a working example to run Superset and Presto in docker connected to a remote Prometheus to perform advanced SQL queries of arbitrary size reliably without timeout. We’ll also demo joining metrics data using the Kubernetes node name Prometheus label to detailed Kubernetes object metadata (events, pods, etc) collected by Fluentd using a simple SQL join thanks to Presto’s query federation capabilities.

Kubernetes CronJobs - Does Anyone Actually Use This [in Production]? - Kevin Yang, Lyft
Considering CronJob? Think again! CronJobs sound great on paper–a higher-order API built on the bread and butter of K8s that automates fault tolerance, orchestration, etc., for distributed, repetitive tasks. On top of that, you benefit from efficient resource usage when your cron is idle. Who wouldn't want that? At Lyft, we run hundreds of CronJobs on our platform; however, the road to get there was not easy. In this talk, Kevin will dive deep into the guts of CronJobs, discuss subtle issues like how the control-plane can get bogged down at scale, and share how we addressed these problems in our K8s stack (including forking and patching Kubernetes itself!). You will leave with a better understanding of the trade-offs of CronJob and what features to look for in a cron solution to make your developers (and you) happy.

Persistent Memory in Kubernetes - Patrick Ohly, Intel
The term persistent memory (PMEM) is used to describe technologies which allow programs to access data as memory, directly byte-addressable, while the contents are non-volatile, preserved across power cycles. It has aspects that are like memory, and aspects that are like storage. Instead of replacing them, persistent memory is a third tier that sits in the middle. With this new ingredient, systems containing persistent memory can outperform legacy configurations, providing faster start-up times, faster access to large in-memory datasets, and often improved total cost of ownership. This talk will present the concept, briefly describe the available hardware (Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory), and then cover PMEM-CSI, a storage driver that makes PMEM available to applications running inside a Kubernetes cluster.

We will share our journey migrating one of Adobe's enterprise products to Kubernetes, running multiple clusters across regions, as well as the processes and technologies that made this possible, including Envoy, Helm or Prometheus. Adopting DevOps has improved the communication between teams, which are now organized by functional areas, no more Dev, QA, Ops teams. Continuous Delivery allows us to highly automate software delivery with multiple deploys a day, and using GitOps we have improved visibility of the services running in the different environments. Using Prometheus and Grafana allows us to provide visibility into the state of the system to everyone in the team, as the whole engineering organization participates on on-call rotation to foster a shared responsibility across services.

Improving Network Efficiency with Topology Aware Routing - Rob Scott, Google
As Kubernetes clusters grew to span multiple zones and regions, it became clear that we needed to improve network routing. The initial kube-proxy implementation meant that all requests were equally likely to go to any endpoint, regardless of how far away it was. With topology aware routing, kube-proxy will attempt to keep network traffic within the same zone or region if there is sufficient capacity. This can have huge impacts on network efficiency, performance, and scalability. This talk will cover the evolution of topology aware routing in Kubernetes including the options that didn’t end up working. It will demonstrate how the current algorithm works, discuss the tradeoffs of the approach, and show the simulations that were run to develop the algorithm. Finally, this talk will provide some data showing the significant impacts this feature can have on Kubernetes networking.

Imagine running a 200-node Kubernetes cluster, and suddenly you lost a node or even a ToR switch. What is the state of your persistent storage that your application relies on? How can you make sure your storage is always available? How can you time and plan how long it takes for your storage to get back to 100% resiliency? In this presentation we’ll go over the basics of storage demands (RPO/RTO), How different types of replications in Ceph impact our recovery time, and how components failure such as drive, node or cluster determine how long we are at risk. We'll include a live demo of a Rook/Ceph recovery process from a failed component.

Tutorial: Say Goodbye to YAML Engineering with the CDK for Kubernetes - Nathan Taber & Elad Ben-Israel, Amazon
Applications running on Kubernetes are composed of dozens of resources maintained through an intricate collection of carefully maintained YAML files. As applications evolve and teams grow, these files become hard to manage and reuse — copying & pasting from previous projects is not the solution! The CDK for Kubernetes (cdk8s) is a new open-source software development framework for defining Kubernetes applications and resources using familiar programming languages. In this tutorial, the creators of cdk8s show you how to define your first cdk8s application, design a reusable construct and package it as a library, and generally say goodbye (and thank you very much) to writing in YAML. Bring your laptops set up with your favorite development environment in one of the supported languages (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, or .NET).

Standardizing Cloud Native Application Delivery Across Different Clouds - Hongchao Deng, Alibaba
At its heart, Kubernetes is an infrastructure platform: It abstracts at the infrastructure layer, but does little to resolve application layer dependencies. Today, a Kubernetes application cannot be defined and deployed uniformly across multiple platforms without modification, because its definitions depend on specific platform implementation. For example, one platform might choose Nginx as the ingress solution, while another might choose Traefik. To solve this problem, we need a standard application model to bridge the gap between application and infrastructure. This talk introduces Open Application Model (OAM) which enables developers to build and deploy k8s applications in a platform-agnostic way. We will look at how it approaches the problem and how it leverages cloud services and open source projects to facilitate standardized application development across multiple environments.

Practice of Fine-grained Cgroups Resources Scheduling in Kubernetes - Xianlu Chen & Qingcan Wang, Alibaba
Alibaba supports resource scheduling for hundreds of thousands of nodes, millions of containers, and tens of thousands of applications. Many online services need to dynamically increase the resource limit during operation, and cannot accept the impact of restart.Other applications may require NUMA awareness, CPU Core binding, reduce data copy between CPU caches, and speed up data processing tasks.

We have developed a combined scheduling system based on Kubernetes Scheduler framework and Cgroups controller. The scheduler perceives cgroups level resources, such as numa, cpu core, memory limit, etc., and applies scheduler dynamic scheduling to specified nodes, while allowing certain Pod is bound to the specified cpu core. The cgroups controller can also dynamically adjust the pod resources limit without causing the Pod to restart.

Serverless for ML Inference on Kubernetes: Panacea or Folly? - Manasi Vartak, Verta Inc
As providers of an end-to-end MLOps platform, we find that autoscaling ML inference is a frequent customer ask. Recently, serverless computing has been touted as the panacea for elastic compute that can provide flexibility and lower operating costs. However, for ML, the need to precisely define hardware configurations and long warm-up times of certain ML models exacerbate the limitations of serverless. To provide the best solution to our customers, we have run extensive benchmarking experiments comparing the performance of serverless and traditional computing for inference workloads running on Kubernetes (with KubeFlow and with the ModelDB MLOps Toolkit). Our experiments have spanned a variety of model types, data modalities, hardware, and workloads. In this talk, we present the results from our benchmarking study and provide a guide to architect your own k8s-based ML inference system.
