https://go.dok.community/slack Abstract of the talk… Developers spend a lot of time making their local machine look like a cluster. But why do we do that? Our local machine is not where our code is supposed to run! We built okteto (github.com/okteto/okteto) so we can make our Kubernetes clusters look like our local machine. In this talk, we'll show you how okteto helps you take advantage of all th...

Abstract of the talk… Open source observability should not be hard. What companies package as their enterprise offering should be available to anyone who wants to monitor their systems. Opstrace is a complete monitoring platform designed for the end user instead of the expert. It's goal is to be as easy to use and operate as a hosted SaaS provider but within ones own cloud account. This is not onl...

Abstract of the talk… Observability systems are typically a collection of tools that cover the three pillars of logs, metrics and tracing. These enable skilled engineers to correlate telemetry insights to perform data-driven diagnostics and rectify degraded services. In this talk, I discuss how over the course of three years, I have worked towards removing the built-in gatekeeping that comes with...

Abstract of the talk… Buy a ready off-the-shelf product, customize an existing open source project, or build your own distribution? When you can't go to the cloud and leverage its powerful features you have to make a choice. On-prem environments need more attention, but they also often can be more cost-effective and are highly coveted by the development and operations teams. In this talk, I will c...

Abstract of the talk… Going from raw data to machine learning models successfully in companies of all sizes requires more than just an understanding of programming. Teams need to manage their data products lifecycle, their software as well as the data. Data products like machine learning models aren’t created out of thin air. They are built on layers of best practices that ensure the models are us...

https://go.dok.community/slack Abstract of the talk… This talk will walk through how to get started contributing to Kubernetes, combatting imposter syndrome, the many other ways you can get started contributing to K8s other than by writing code, and the benefits to joining a community such as K8s. Bio… Rin is a Technical Community Builder at Camunda. They enjoy discussing all things open source, w...

Abstract of the talk… For IT decision-makers, this goes above and beyond just keeping infrastructure running and efficient; it is about understanding how your IT budget affects your business, and how well your resources maximize the use of your budget. This makes it critically important that IT teams can more quickly and easily see the totality of their IT costs across the hybrid cloud. We’re plea...

Abstract of the talk… My experience in this contemporary technology journey of the last 4 years, fears, mistakes, IT paradigms, and agile methodologies impact my goals. Bio… I love working with technology. I am a person who learns much more by doing and teaching. I have in mind that in technology you can’t know everything. I love dogs and cycling. Key take-aways from the talk… Talk about religion...

Abstract of the talk… Kubernetes became the standard for micro services architectures. But what about handling massive and scalable data management on top of it? Is it possible and what does it mean for operations? Cassandra has been adopted widely and accepted globally as the most scalable and reliable database. Now it adds ease of use by offering a Kubernetes native plug and play solution for en...

https://go.dok.community/slack Abstract of the talk… Even though microservices are becoming a pattern, we still see a lot of "monolithical" deploys and manual reactive actions. This blocks the ability to achieve maximum velocity in your release. We can leverage data and smart use of traffic-shaping to achieve a higher release velocity AND quality. Bio… Olaf has over 20 years of experience in the i...

https://go.dok.community/slack Abstract of the talk… Is deploying Postgres in Kubernetes just repackaging it into a container? Can’t Postgres leverage the wide range of Cloud-Native software and integrate well with K8s? Join this journey that will cover and demonstrate, with demos running on StackGres: How to structure Postgres into an init-less container, plus several sidecar containers for conne...

https://go.dok.community/slack   We will discuss how we can implement an efficient solution to overscale a Kubernetes cluster and therefore keep always enough room in the cluster for  applications to grow in number of replicas. Presenter: Bart Farrell

Abstract of the talk… Cockroach Labs has built a database architected from the ground up to be distributed. It is a perfect fit for the cloud and Kubernetes as it naturally scales and survives without manual interaction. The unique architecture of CockroachDB delivers some key innovations that may not only provide value for your applications but might also give you insight into the challenges/solu...

In this talk, we will go through the process to pass successfully the exam, tips on the exam itself, the environment and any other question that might arise. How to fly into a kubernetes certification. Eneko Pérez is a DevOps Engineer evolved from many years as a systems administrator...

Starting from a simple application which can be deployed in every machine running Docker, we will go through all steps required to transform the simple app into a Kubernetes native streaming application. We will explain the theory and then exemplify the learnt concepts to define a recipe for running streaming applications on Kubernetes. We will focus both on cultural and technical tricks to help y...

Stateful vs stateless? We will stately be stating our statutes regarding the status of the state of statefulness and statelessness on k8s- oh yea! In the DoK Community, one of the main issues that folks have are how in the world can they flatten the learning curve when it comes to running stateful applications in k8s. That's why we've brought on 3 experts from 3 different countries to tell us what...

In our inaugural DOKC meet-up, Patrick McFadin Developer Advocate at Datastax emphasized the challenges of running Cassandra on Kubernetes, concluding at one point that “Kubernetes might not be ready for Cassandra.” Since that meeting, the use of the open-source Container Attached Storage project OpenEBS as a simple and high performance per workload storage for Cassandra has proliferated.
