    How to Build Cloud-Native Event-Driven Applications with Knative

    in-person

    Over the past few years, event-driven serverless architectures and apps have been picking up steam, due in large part to the AWS Lambda. But how can you use these ideas in an open source environment, on your own Kubernetes cluster?

    Knative provides all the components you need to build event-driven serverless applications. In this talk we will focus on how you can use Knative Eventing to build a cohesive application out of various serverless components, while also introducing Knative Services and Knative Functions as the building blocks of this cohesive application. We will conclude with a live interactive demo showing how you can interconnect a Knative Service with multiple Knative Functions through Knative Eventing.

  2. 7:00 PM EDT

    Translating Troubleshooting Skills from Baking to Software

    in-person

    What can whisking eggs and writing for loops possibly have in common? To the untrained eye, they may appear to be completely unrelated. But are they? In this talk, Adriana, who has over 20 years of experience in the world of software engineering, and her 15-year-old daughter Hannah, who has over 10 years of baking experience and wants nothing to do with code, explore how troubleshooting techniques connect these two seemingly unrelated disciplines, by talking about their troubleshooting adventures with one of the most notoriously difficult desserts to make: French macarons.

    Join Adriana and Hannah as they talk about the utter disasters they experienced when they first tried to make macarons, how they iterated on and tested recipes, and how Hannah’s research and unwavering persistence eventually led to macaron mastery…And of course, how it all relates to troubleshooting software!

    What's Smoother Than Your Morning Espresso Pull? Bridging Gaps With BGP And Cilium!

    in-person

    The widely adopted, highly capable Border Gateway Protocol has won the hearts and minds of the Internet. And, it’s made its way into Kubernetes! However, not every workload is a container, and not every VM can make its way into Kubernetes so, how do we ensure every workload can freely talk? If BGP on Cilium is the answer how should we proceed?

    • Why should we care about BGP?
    • How do we work with Cilium’s BGP Control Plane?
    • How can we get our VMs to communicate with our pods using BGP?
    • Can we see a working BGP setup?
    • Does “show ip bgp summary” still work? This presentation allows us to delve into BGP internals and history while providing a demonstration of BGP in action, running in Cilium. We’ll become the best neighbors with an upstream router, and we’ll share ALL THE NETWORKS!
