#5 Cloud Native/Kubernetes meetup of 2022 - Hosted by EPAM

We're coming back in October for a special Friday evening (hey, Amsterdam Dance Event is in town!), hosted by Emakina in their offices in Houthaven.

We will have two talks on our agenda:

First talk:

Kubernetes Driven Architecture

Abstract: Kubernetes is strongly associated with microservices. However, due to its nature, it provides a lot of building blocks to create resilient distributed systems with a small number of moving parts and easy operation. In this talk, we will look at the internal elements of the Kubernetes cluster, Custom Resources, and Operator pattern. We will also look for some sample architectures which can be implemented on top of Kubernetes and check the exciting projects from CNCF.

Bio: I'm a solution architect from EPAM Systems. With my beloved team, I operated Kubernetes from version v1.4 to 1.20 in production, faced all here-be-dragons situations, and spent countless showers thinking about optimization possibilities.

Second talk:

"Is containerless the future of Kubernetes?"

Abstract: WebAssembly has brought some great innovations to the Web. But lately, it has been finding its way to Kubernetes and cloud-native due to its efficiency & security. WebAssembly opens up a lot of possibilities in the cloud-native ecosystem and is a great alternative to containers. But if you are not familiar with WebAssembly it may all sound daunting and foreign. I'm here to break it all down and show you why it matters, how it works and what benefits it offers. We will look at how to get started with WebAssembly on Kubernetes using Krustlet, WasmEdge, and so on. We will look at implementations, use cases, and some examples. Get ready for an exciting ride.

Bio: Deepu K Sasidharan is a Software Engineer by passion and profession. He is a Java Champion working as a Senior Developer Advocate at Auth0 by Okta.
