Event Sponsor :
Rhythmic Technologies have been designing, implementing and operating infrastructure for custom applications for over 20 years, combining the experience that comes from spending a long time in the trenches with the modern thinking that comes from building cloud-based infrastructure and being part of DevOps teams.
Rhythmic Technologies is built to support engineering teams. We take process seriously but also believe that infrastructure must be flexible in order to enable opportunities for our clients. We look toward deep relationships where we can be challenged, make an impact and learn.

Rhythmic Technologies will be donating 3 dollars per attendee to ByteBack. Byte Back’s mission is to close the digital divide by providing historically excluded communities an equitable pathway into the digital economy. We achieve this through transformative digital advocacy, digital literacy, and tech certification training.

"The History of Kubernetes"
Kubernetes is so hot right now but where did this project come from? Learn how this critical piece of cloud-native infrastructure with an ancient greek namesake has cultivated an open-source ecosystem unlike any other.

"State of the Secure Software Supply Chain"
Building a secure software supply chain is no easy feat. SolarWinds showed us that even the experts have a difficult time. This talk gives an overview of what’s required, including ingesting external dependencies, attestation of the build infrastructure, signing artifacts, SBoMs, reproducible builds, and admission controllers. We’ll also look at some of the key projects in this space being developed within the CNCF and Linux Foundation. The topics here are focused on deploying with containers in a Kubernetes infrastructure, but the overall ideas transfer to other environments that build and package applications using open source dependencies and CI/CD pipelines.

We value the participation of each member of the community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. To make clear what is expected, all delegates/attendees, speakers, exhibitors, organizers, and volunteers at any DevOpsDC event are required to conform to our Code of Conduct (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/pages/Code_of_Conduct/).
