AGENDA:
17:50
Open "online doors"
18:00 - 18:40 Kubebuilder Tutorial (Ondřej Šerý)
Kubebuilder (kubebuilder.io) is a tool for extending Kubernetes APIs and building operators in Go based on custom resource definitions. This talk will go through the basics of using Kubebuilder from the initial setup to deploying a demo operator in a Kubernetes cluster. Basic knowledge of Golang and Kubernetes will be helpful in following the talk, try tour.golang.org.
18:45 - 19:00 NixOS: immutable systems for immutable infrastructure (Anton Vorobiev)
NixOS describes itself as: "A Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management." Its main difference from others is a complete declarative definition of OS components and configuration in purely functional build language. Anton will talk about how and why Cisco Orbital team has chosen to run NixOS as a base OS for all of their VMs in AWS.
19:05 - 19:45 Open Policy Agent: Your passport for enterprise interoperability (Alex Jones)
Enterprise organisations are complex. Releasing software becomes more challenging with each team involved. Whether it’s enterprise security, the developer community, business intelligence analysts or cluster operators; everyone has a set of constraints you must conform to before they’ll allow you past their gatekeepers. In this talk, we discuss how Open Policy Agent can be utilised to create a common vocabulary between teams and start to help them work towards a common reusable architecture that enables delivery and creates trust.
