🪧 Poster Session: Kubernetes as a Geographically Distributed System - Ildiko Vancsa, Open Infrastructure Foundation

Wednesday November 13, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Halls A-C + 1-5 | Solutions Showcase

Kubernetes was designed to be the best container orchestration platform on top of a cloud infrastructure in one data center. What do you do when you want to take your deployment and grow it in various geographical locations, but sill keep it as part of one system? You will have to face with complexity and figure out infrastructure management on a massive scale, and neither of these is easy to tackle. However, you don't have to go back to the drawing board, because the platform that delivers on requirements and expectations, already exists and it is called StarlingX. The StarlingX project is a fully integrated, open source cloud platform that is running in production at large telecom operators, who rely on its distributed cloud architecture along with next-level container orchestration support, which is provided by Kubernetes. This talk will introduce the StarlingX platform, share highlights from its latest release and show how it takes Kubernetes to the next level!

🪧 Poster Session: Revolutionizing Windows Container Startup Performance - Tina Wu & Shaheed Chagani, Microsoft

Wednesday November 13, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Halls A-C + 1-5 | Solutions Showcase

Are you frustrated by Windows container delays and struggling to meet demand spikes? We are excited to introduce a suite of innovations that will revolutionize your Windows container startup and scaling experience. Conventional Windows container image download, import, and launch processes have long suffered from sluggishness and inefficiencies. By leveraging a new storage stack, CimFS & UnionFS, we anticipate a 30%+ improvement in container image import and launch times. Building on top of that, we are excited to announce Artifact Streaming for Windows Containers to drastically reduce image download time from minutes to seconds. This session will showcase an in-depth exploration of the architecture, implementation intricacies, and tangible benefits of the new storage stack. We will also guide you through compelling use cases and performance benchmarks that highlight the impact. Don't miss the opportunity to stay at the forefront of Windows container technology innovations.

🪧 Poster Session: Unleashing the Power of Init and Sidecar Containers in Kubernetes - Carlos Sanchez & Natalia Angulo, Adobe

Wednesday November 13, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Halls A-C + 1-5 | Solutions Showcase

This session dives deep into the power of init and sidecar containers, the issues they solve and why they are very useful when managing Kubernetes workloads. We will explore real-world use cases that show how these tools can: * Simplify complex deployments: Break down intricate deployments into manageable steps. * Enhance security: Isolate security critical tasks within your pods and ongoing security measures. * Facilitate rapid and isolated changes: when everyone is interested in updating the same service, separation of concerns is critical for rapid development. * Boost application functionality: Utilize sidecar containers to inject essential functionalities like logging, monitoring, and networking capabilities without modifying your main application code. Our goal is to share our experience and challenges managing thousands of environments in Kubernetes, how we manage init and sidecar containers and what problems they solve for us.
