Session + Live Q&A

Kubernetes as a Foundation for Infrastructure Control Planes

The distribution, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of infrastructure is frequently decoupled from the applications that consume it. Kubernetes has become the default platform for orchestrating containerized processes, but it also offers a general interface for running distributed systems, providing an opportunity to extend its capabilities beyond workloads running in-cluster.

In this talk, we’ll explore how bringing applications and infrastructure to a single control plane allows for building robust platforms that can accommodate heterogenous organizational structures and architectural patterns. We will identify how practitioners can:

  • Establish strong separation of concern between platform and application development teams.
  • Build applications that target infrastructure interfaces, rather than specific implementations.
  • Design control planes that evolve with organizations as they scale.

Session + Live Q&A

The Kubernetes Expert Panel

Kubernetes helps us better manage the complexities of operating microservices. It helps provide sets of abstractions for deploying and running our services. However, these benefits don’t always come easy. In the Kubernetes Expert Panel, we bring together several Kubernetes knowledge leaders to discuss some of the tricker bits around security, networking, and essential complexity of operating Kubernetes. You can expect conversation around service meshes (sidecar and no sidecar), container runtimes, and leveraging Kubernetes as a foundation for the platform you’re building. After some conversation, we’ll open it up to the audience to have your questions answered.
