DETAILS

Talk 1

Title: Namespaces: The illusion of containerization

Abstract: How many times have you heard “containers are like lightweight VMs” and “containers divide applications into manageable, repeatable microservices”, with no further explanation? In this talk we’ll take a look at the types of namespacing that combine to give processes the illusion of being separate, with high-level explanations, comparisons to everyday concepts, and example commands for continued exploration.

Bio: Mark Casey is a DevOps Engineer for IBM Cloud working on global internal/undercloud Kubernetes architecture. He has more than 12 years’ experience in various Systems Administration and DevOps roles.

Talk 2

Title: Kubernetes Custom Controllers: Building Blocks For Platforms

Speaker: Ross Edman, Production Engineer at GitHub

Abstract: What is a controller? How does it work? How does GitHub use controllers in our day-to-day workflow? In this session, I will build a simple controller and walkthrough how you can use these concepts to extend Kubernetes to meet the needs for your business.

Bio: My name is Ross Edman, over the past 5 years I have consulted with organizations on how to define their infrastructure as code, build better reliability practices and make continuous integration a reality. I have run Kubernetes in production for 2 years and played a hand in architecting Toyota Connected’s global infrastructure for connected car technology on Kubernetes. Now, I work at GitHub and am helping run the largest developer community in the world… on Kubernetes.

Parking: attendees can park in any spots not marked 'bank', 'Telos Fitness', or 'reserved' anywhere on the surface or in the free parking garage right in front of the building.
