#THE TALKS#

Talk #1 – by Troy Topnik, Sr. Product Manager at SUSE

'Cloud Foundry: The Good Parts'

When Douglas Crockford wrote JavaScript: The Good Parts in 2009, his focus on the best and most useful parts of JavaScript led many to reconsider its utility for a wide range of applications. This talk aims do the same service for Cloud Foundry.

Application developers benefit from tools and interfaces tailored to their particular needs, and a number of projects have sprung up in the CNCF ecosystem with the goal of helping them deploy code to Kubernetes easily.

But what if the best solution was an opinionated Platform-as-a-Service framework that's been around for years?

This talk presents the case that Cloud Foundry has a substantial head start in optimizing the developer experience on software defined infrastructure. With projects like Eirini, Quarks, KubeCF, Paketo Buildpacks, and Istio, it has the potential to make Kubernetes a lot easier for developers to use.

KubeCF is a distribution of Cloud Foundry Application Runtime (CFAR) for Kubernetes. It works with the cf-operator from Project Quarks to deploy and manage releases built from cf-deployment.

Talk #2 – by Thorsten Jakoby (@jakobyte1024), Managing Consultant at Novatec Consulting GmbH

'Infrastructure as code in action! - How we built a platform during a cloud migration'

A large application landscape, handling 96.000 requests per minute, has been successfully migrated to the cloud. That migration was not only about focussing on the application. While we applied an lift'n'shift approach to the application, managing the target infrastructure became crucial.

We needed to make sure that a team of 40 people was able to reproduce environments consistently across many geographies. Introducing Infrastructure as code was one of the best decisions we made.

This talk is about our journey from a client's datacenter to a fully customized cloud platform on Azure. You will see how we used Terraform and Azure DevOps to create a platform for a connected vehicle backend.
