An Evening of Technical Talks in Partnership with Cloud Native PDX
Details
Join us for another awesome Cloud Native PDX + OpenStack Open Infra co-hosted event. Two speakers will share their experiences in Kubernetes and OpenStack. Pizza, beverages, and raffle will round out the evening.
AGENDA
5:30 – 6:00 p.m. Check-in, Pizza, & Networking
6:00 – 6:30 p.m. Accelerating the Adoption of Hardware Accelerators in Kubernetes – Swati Sehgal
With containers becoming the desired deployment model for a wide range of workloads such as Big Data, IoT, storage, AI, ML, SDN and NFV solutions, container orchestration tools like Kubernetes, need to evolve to meet stringent networking and resource management requirements for optimum utilization of compute, network and storage. Such application generate large volume of data that needs to be securely transferred in and out of storage and over the network and inherently require compression and encryption which makes them computationally expensive.
Offloading such operations to the hardware accelerators results in better CPU utilization and improved application performance.
This talk educates the audience on how discovery, bookkeeping, allocation of additional hardware resources can be done in Kubernetes using one such accelerator – Intel® QuickAssist - as an example.
Bio: Swati is a Cloud Software Engineer in the Cloudnative Orchestration Software Engineering team at Intel. She is working with Intel engineering & architecture teams across the globe as well as open source communities, telecoms, cloud, and enterprise companies to prototype and deliver future high speed container technologies.
6:30 – 7:00 p.m. Container Compliance Tooling -- Nisha Kumar of VMWare
Nisha introduces Tern, a utility for software package introspection in containers. This tool allows administrators to have the same level of confidence on what's in their containers as they currently do with VM images, including compliance audits, bill of materials, and exploit detection. Nisha is the primary author of Tern.
