Open Source 2.0: What does the future look like? With better code quality, faster bug fixes, and greater security, open source powers almost every modern application today. But the open source landscape has evolved—no longer primarily volunteer-led, many projects are now backed by companies with strategic goals and a need to justify the resources they allocate. Join us on Friday, Nov 15, for a compelling panel discussion moderated by Emily Omier (Emily Omier Consulting) with William Morgan (Buoyant), Matthew Bates (Cofide Security), Ashley Davis (Venafi, a CyberArk Company), and Deepthi Sigireddi (PlanetScale).

Disentangling Compute Costs and Bridging the Gap with Finance. Join our latest Anti-Complex Kubernetes webinar, where Rich P., Senior Director of Platform Engineering at Mezmo, will discuss how he oversees one of the world’s highest-scale platforms while balancing performance with cost-efficiency. Our conversation with Rich will cover: ● The chasm between how Kubernetes operates (and is charged for by cloud providers) and the various business processes that exist at companies, especially finance ones. ● Common disconnects between the platform and the business. ● Ways to close these gaps—and places where closing the gap may not actually matter! Join us to learn how to make sense of compute costs and align your platform strategy with business realities!

KubeCon attendees, only a few more days to go! Be sure to add Flynn's talk to your schedule: One Gateway API to Rule Them All (and in the Cluster Configure Them)." Ingress, egress, east-west, north-south… Kubernetes has always had a lot of different ways to talk about network traffic, each with its own concerns. For years, the possibility of unifying these kinds of configuration under a single API was a tantalizing but far-off possibility until Gateway API v0.8 took the first step of combining ingress and mesh configuration. Now Linkerd is stepping up to use Gateway API to handle egress as well. Join us for a hot-off-the-presses look into what egress policy covers and what people need from it, how we can make egress functionality work within Gateway API's existing model, and why Linkerd took this approach. We'll touch on the implementation and finish up with a live demo showing off a real-world example of egress management using Linkerd and Gateway API. 🗓️ Date: Thursday, November 14, 2024 🕒 Time: 5:25 pm - 6:00 pm MST 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02XszNL0 (add it to your schedule today! #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon #GatewayAPI #Linkerd #Egress #Networking #ServiceMesh #Kubernetes #CloudNative

KubeCon attendees, join Sandeep Kanabar (Lead Software Engineer at Gen) and Andrew Davis (Cybersecurity Specialist) for an "Introduction to Modern Security: TLS and mTLS!" A constant presence in our lives for nearly 25 years, TLS is a cornerstone of modern security practice — especially in a zero-trust world. In cloud native, mTLS comes up every time service meshes get mentioned. Even so, both these technologies are still sources of endless questions. How do they work? How are they related? What problems do they solve – and which others do they not solve? How does it relate to end-user auth? What's all this stuff with certificates anyway? And why should you care about these things? Thankfully, answering these questions isn't that complex. Sandeep and Andrew—both Deaf & Hard of Hearing WG members—will discuss what TLS and mTLS are, what they do, how they work, why they matter as standards, and what nearly 25 years of attacking them have to say about security. They'll use Linkerd as an example, but this talk will apply to any situation involving mTLS or TLS, no matter the implementation. 📅 When: Thursday, November 14, 2024 🕒 Time: 3:25 pm - 4:00 pm MST 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02Xdk6M0 (add it to your calendar today!) #KubeCon #mTLS #ZeroTrust #CloudNative #ServiceMesh #Linkerd

KubeCon attendees, don't miss this hands-on workshop: "Live with Gateway API V1.2," hosted by Gateway API contributors and GAMMA co-leads Flynn (Buoyant) and Mike M. (Microsoft)! Gateway API v1.2 is here! We have GA support for service mesh! We have timeouts in HTTPRoutes! We have GRPCRoutes! And we still have precious few real-world walkthroughs of using Gateway API to get real things done… In this hands-on workshop hosted by Gateway API contributors and GAMMA co-leads, we’ll start with completely unconfigured clusters, walk through installing a demo app with your choice of ingress controller and service mesh, then dig into actually using Gateway API for routing, resilience, and progressive delivery with an application using HTTP and gRPC at the same time. You’ll walk away with practical, real-world knowledge about what Gateway API can do and how to use it, and portable skills you’ll be able to apply to the many projects implementing Gateway API! 📅 When: Thursday, November 14, 2024 🕒 Time: 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm MST 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02X2bVp0 > add it to your schedule today! #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon #GatewayAPI #ServiceMesh #Linkerd #Kubernetes #DevOps

Anti-complexity means standardizing systems to cut through inconsistencies and streamline operations. While service meshes add complexity to your stack, they also reduce overall system complexity by increasing uniformity.  If you missed our "Anti-Complex Kubernetes: Scaling Your Platform Without Sacrificing Predictability" webinar with Buoyant CEO William Morgan and SUSE's Rhys Oxenham, the full recording is now available! Learn how service meshes can simplify your overall architecture. Welcome to Anti-Complex Kubernetes, the monthly deep dive session for engineering leaders who want clear, practical advice on building platforms that can resist or even reverse the compounding complexity endemic in most software systems. We cover everything from teams and organizational dynamics to technology and design patterns, and focus on uncovering key insights and hard-won lessons in the endless war against complexity. In this episode, we focus on scalability. There is a wealth of information on scaling Kubernetes to handle increases in traffic load—but what about an increase in developer demand, or a sudden doubling of business requirements? Scaling on these axes typically means adding components to your ecosystem. But just how many software components does the average Kubernetes platform use? And how do you join that many pieces together without resulting in disaster? Watch it now and stay ahead of the complexity curve! 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q02Tlq1b0 #Kubernetes #CloudNative #Scalability #PlatformEngineering #DevOps

Are multi-zone clusters the answer to reliability—or just a quick way to overspend? Buoyant's Tom Dean and Phil Henderson talk on "Multi-Zone Clusters Inside and Out" will dive into that question. Attending KubeCon, add the talk to your schedule today! Multi-zone clusters are a great tool for improving application reliability — and also a great way to spend a ton of cash. Why? What really happens when you set these things up? How do you use them effectively without bankrupting your whole organization? In this session, we'll dig into the nuts and bolts of what goes on under the hood of a multi-zone cluster, including what a zone is, what Kubernetes understands about zones, how zones affect routing, and why multi-zone clusters can drive costs up. We'll spend some time on Kubernetes' Topology Aware Routing, covering its advantages as well as its very real limitations. Finally, we'll dive into how you can influence Kubernetes' choices to take advantage of multi-zone clusters' reliability while containing costs.
