Sep 2026: SLSA, SBOMs and Attestations & CNCF Contributions

Join us for our next Cloud Native Seattle Meetup at the Bellevue City Center on Wednesday, September 16th at 5:30pm.

Agenda:

• 5:00pm - Doors Open
• 5:30pm - Networking (pizza & drinks provided)
• 6:00pm - Talk: Aaron Bronow (The YAML Company) - Getting Started with SLSA, SBOMs, and Attestation without breaking the build
• 6:30pm - Talk: David Palilonis (CNCF) - Becoming an Impactful CNCF Member
• 7:00pm - Networking

Talk 1: Security frameworks like SLSA and regulations demanding comprehensive SBOMs are no longer optional—but implementing them often feels like throwing a wrench into a smoothly running CI/CD pipeline. Compliance shouldn't mean sacrificing developer velocity. In this talk, we’ll cut through the buzzwords and lay out a practical roadmap for integrating artifact attestation and provenance tracking into your existing build systems seamlessly. You will leave with a clear understanding of how to establish cryptographic trust, generate verifiable SBOMs automatically, and satisfy strict compliance requirements—all without waking up your on-call engineer or breaking a single build.

Talk 2: This session is your guide to becoming an impactful and effective CNCF member. I’ll cover the tangible benefits and responsibilities of membership, including providing project support, contributing code, fostering diversity, and participating in governing bodies. The talk will debunk common misconceptions and provide a clear framework for how a company, large or small, can actively shape the future of cloud native technologies. You will walk away with actionable steps and a deeper appreciation for the collaborative "movement" that drives innovation at the CNCF.
