⚡ Lightning Talk: CloudEvents as APIs - Evan Anderson, Stacklok

Tuesday November 12, 2024 5:35pm - 5:40pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD

Most of us are familiar with tools like gRPC and OpenAPI for modelling synchronous calls between different applications or microservices. Sometimes, the right way to extend an application is through an asynchronous notification, or an event. CloudEvents is a CNCF project to standardize the format of asynchronous notifications, to make it easier for different projects and applications to communicate. CloudEvents is an envelope to make it easy to exchange asynchronous messages; in this talk, I'll highlight three useful patterns to leverage CloudEvents to connect applications, using examples from Stacklok's own experience.

⚡ Lightning Talk: Effortless, Sidecar-Less Mutual TLS and Rich Authorization Policies up and Running in 5 Minutes - Lin Sun, solo.io

Tuesday November 12, 2024 5:40pm - 5:45pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD

Do you need zero trust or mutual TLS (mTLS) among your application pods? You may be able to manage certificates within your applications, but how would you handle automatic periodic certificate rotation? The evolution of sidecar-less service mesh technology enables mTLS among application pods with just a simple namespace label. No sidecars or application pod restarts are required. This approach provides immediate benefits, including cryptographic identity for application pods, and ensures session-based data confidentiality and integrity in pod communications. In just 5 minutes, Lin will demonstrate live how developers and operators can effortlessly enforce mTLS and rich Layer 7 (L7) authorization policies without any sidecars!

⚡ Lightning Talk: Kubernetes for Simulated Hardware in Radio Astronomy - Barbara Ojur, SARAO & Abednigo Matiba Lethole, South African Radio Astronomy Observatory(SARAO)

Tuesday November 12, 2024 6:00pm - 6:05pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom BCD

We use Kubernetes to deploy simulated hardware devices for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the world's largest radio telescope. The SKA has an Integrated Testing Facility (ITF) that tests subsystems before field deployment. One of those systems is our main focus for this lightning talk called the Dish Local and Monitoring and Control (LMC) system, which manages mid-frequency operations. Key Lightning Talk Points: - Dish LMC Components: Control, Monitoring, Communication Interface. - Kubernetes Utilization: - k9s: Manages and monitors deployments. - Networking: Simulates communication pathways. - Logging: Captures and analyzes system logs. Goals: - Presentation Aim: Share experiences and inspire adoption of our strategies. - Audience Takeaway: Understand Kubernetes' role in managing complex simulations. - Ecosystem Impact: Improve best practices and drive innovation.
