Write a Kubernetes Operator in Go / Building reliability into our cloud apps

Cloud Native Computing Meetup Berlin is happy to host Kinvolk's Margarita Manterola who will talk about building reliability into cloud applications and Tilt's Ellen Körbes who will explain about writing a Kubernetes Operator in Go.

---------------------------------------------

SCHEDULE:

[18:00 - 18:50] Margarita Manterola, “Building reliability into our cloud applications”

[19:00 - 19:45] Ellen Körbes, “Write a Kubernetes Operator in Go”

Both talks will be followed by 5 minute Q&A and a 5 minute break.

---------------------------------------------

TALK DETAILS:

“Building reliability into our cloud applications”, Margarita Manterola

Abstract: When trying to iterate quickly on our code, reliability tends to be overlooked and given lower priority than getting the latest features out. Until a large incident comes and knocks our applications out of service.

This talk will give a quick introduction to the Site Reliability principles, and look into how they can be applied to cloud applications, regardless of the size of the organization.

“Write a Kubernetes Operator in Go”, Ellen Körbes

Abstract: Kubernetes monitors and maintains state for many aspects of your cluster, but what about those out-of-the-box ideas no one’s thought of yet that are essential to the success of your program? Enter Kubernetes Operators: state-management machines for self-defined resources. See Kubernetes Operators in action as Ellen Körbes live-codes one in Go—showing you their practical application and everything you need to write your own.

SPEAKER BIOS:

Margarita Manterola, Staff Software Engineer at Kinvolk - A Debian Developer and Open Source enthusiast, Marga has been working with Linux for over 15 years. Back in her hometown of Buenos Aires she led a large migration to Linux and open source tools. Doing this job, she learned to navigate the tricky line between satisfying user needs and keeping the software stack in good shape.

Before joining Kinvolk, she worked as an SRE at Google, in the team maintaining the internal Linux distribution used by Google engineers. There, she led the development of many automation tools, allowing the team to keep tens of thousands of computers updated and secure. She’s grown used to thinking about large scale issues and focusing on the most impactful things to automate.

At Kinvolk, she's helping the Flatcar team bring more automation to the building and releasing infrastructure, allowing the team to scale up.

Ellen Körbes, Developer Relations at Tilt, Google Developer Expert for Go, CNCF Ambassador - Ellen Körbes runs DevRel at Tilt and previously at Garden—two of the very few companies 100% focused on the development experience side of Kubernetes. Ellen got their start building Kubernetes CLI tooling under SIG-CLI. They've since spoken about Go and Kubernetes at many world-famous events.
