Talk 1: Principles for Designing and Deploying Scalable Applications on Kubernetes

Kubernetes and containerization have revolutionized how we deploy applications. Both are easy to get started with, but offer significant depth to advanced users. In this talk, Lars Larsson from Elastisys, offers his insight in how we can design and deploy applications specifically to benefit from advanced features of the Kubernetes platform. By following the principles of this talk, your applications will be more robust, easy to automate, designed for handling failure, be observable, and have a greatly reduced attack surface.

Speaker bio:
Lars Larsson holds a PhD in computer science and has an extensive background in cloud computing since 2008. He has worked in both industry and academia, contributing to the cloud computing field both via open source projects via his research on cloud capacity management. He now works for Elastisys as a DevOps expert engineer and senior cloud architect. You can find and follow him on LinkedIn, where he posts about security, DevOps, and compassionate leadership.

Talk 2 - On-demand Kubernetes: A Greener Future Through Short-Lived Clusters

A talk about, how Nordea Asset Management optimize their complexity, while minimizing the environmental impact (and cost) when they do ESG (Environmental, Social Governance) scoring for their investments. The focus will be short lived and moveable Kubernetes clusters, with highly scalable computational workloads and nodes. All orchestrated via Infrastructure as Code, Pipelines and schedulers.
