First topic will be about Kubernetes and how you can create and use Custom Resources.
The second shorter talk gives you an overview about ITIL.
ZEISS is also supporting us by providing the location, Wi-Fi, and snacks

18:00 official Opening / Introduction

18:05 Custom Resources in Kubernetes - Speaker: Um e Habiba (ZDI)

Kubernetes is an open-source system for managing, deploying, and scaling containerized applications. The true beauty of Kubernetes lies in its extensibility, allowing developers to go beyond using default resources and define their own resources to meet specific applications’ needs.

Custom Resources[1] elevates Kubernetes to a realm of unparalleled adaptability. They allow users to extend the Kubernetes API, defining new object types tailored to unique application requirements. With an intuitive declarative syntax, custom resources provide a clear and concise means to express complex application configurations within Kubernetes.
This session embarks on a journey to understand the structure and usage of Custom Resources by diving deep into the explanation of CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) and custom controllers. We will see how this concept helped organizations to manage their workloads (i.e, KubeVirt, ArgoCD). Lastly, we will see the sample implementation of utilizing custom resources through MongoKube[2].
