The Spice Must Flow Green: CNCF's Environmental Sustainability TAG - Marlow Warnicke (Weston), SchedMD & Saiyam Pathak, Loft Labs

Wednesday November 13, 2024 11:15am - 11:50am MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

The carbon must be counted. In the Environmental Sustainability TAG, we focus on current and emerging technologies regarding carbon measurement and minimization. As our digital landscape grows, so does its impact on the environment—a factor often overlooked in the pursuit of technological advancement, such as AI. Traditionally, companies focused primarily on financial metrics. However, with increasing awareness of climate issues, stricter regulations, and rising energy costs, environmental impact is now a crucial consideration. We highlight the Green Reviews Working Group and our project to measure impact. We're developing a pipeline that works with current tooling, such as Kepler, to measure the power consumption of CNCF Projects. We explore how to measure energy consumption and emissions of software projects. We also give the status of other projects, such as the sustainability landscape, initiatives such as our sustainability week, and collaborative organisations.

Kubernetes Data Protection WG Deep Dive - Dave Smith-Uchida, Veeam

Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Data Protection WG is dedicated to promoting data protection support in Kubernetes. The Working Group is working on identifying missing functionalities and collaborating across multiple SIGs to design features to enable data protection in Kubernetes. In this session, we will discuss what is the current state of data protection in Kubernetes and where it is heading in the future. We will also talk about how interested parties (including storage and backup vendors, cloud providers, application developers, and end users, etc.) can join this WG and contribute to this effort. Details of the WG can be found here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/wg-data-protection.

Life of a Packet: Ambient Edition - John Howard, Solo.io & Keith Mattix, Microsoft

Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Istio's new "ambient mode" promises to (and delivers!) dramatically simplify and reduce the cost of running a service mesh. This doesn't come easily, however; Istio employs some advanced and innovative techniques to deliver on this promise. In this talk, Keith and John - two leads on the ambient project - will give an in-depth look under the hood to show how ambient mode operates, walking through how a packet gets from point A to point B securely and efficiently.

Speakers

Understanding How OpenTelemetry Network Uses eBPF for Network Observability - Shivanshu Raj Shrivastava, SigNoz & Jonathan Perry, State-fu

Wednesday November 13, 2024 4:30pm - 5:05pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

The recent advancements in eBPF tooling, including the enhanced eBPF runtime embedded in the Linux kernel, the BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) for efficient kernel tracing, and the LLVM Compiler for converting C code to eBPF programs, have made it easier to provide always-on network visibility. OpenTelemetry Network leverages these foundational tools to provide out-of-the-box network observability for modern infrastructures. In this talk, we'll explore the architecture of the OTel Network, focusing on its key components: the kernel collector, kubernetes collector, cloud collector, and reducer which together enable collecting, ingesting, aggregating, enriching, and exporting telemetry data collected from various sources. We'll show an end-to-end setup to demonstrate the use of these agents and reducer component to send data to the OTel collector. This session aims to equip end-users and contributors with the necessary infomation to get started with the OpenTelemetry Network project.
