How We Made OpenTelemetry Be Our Fitness Tracker for Your CI/CD Pipelines! - Nicolas Woerner, Clario & Andreas Grabner, Dynatrace

Thursday November 14, 2024 11:00am - 11:35am MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

CI/CD pipelines are the heartbeat of modern cloud-native software delivery. Healthy pipelines ensure rapid and continuous deployments every time code gets committed to the Git repositories! Every new repository and commit puts more load on the CI/CD tool making it more challenging to keep this crucial heartbeat healthy! In this session, engineers from Clario will demonstrate how they leverage OpenTelemetry to observe, validate, report and optimize their CI/CD pipelines, keeping their deployments healthy despite increased scale and unlocking the full potential of modern software delivery on Kubernetes with GitLab.

Mastering Cell-Based Architecture: Practical Solutions and Best Practices - Shweta Vohra, Booking.com & Asanka Abeysinghe, WSO2

Thursday November 14, 2024 2:30pm - 3:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Are you struggling to validate your cell boundaries or facing challenges with greenfield versus brownfield cell-based architectures (CBA)? Do you find it difficult to define enterprise-wide cell boundaries or wish there were best practices to guide you? If these pain points sound familiar, this session is tailored for you. In this talk, we will first guide you through the process of defining an enterprise-wide cell-based architecture for your organization or context. Then we will explore best practices for greenfield, brownfield, and hybrid cell implementations using CBA. By translating common user challenges into actionable implementation references, we aim to elevate your understanding of CBA with real-world use cases and best practices. This session will also cover best practices for the data, security, application, and infrastructure layers, ensuring a comprehensive approach to CBA implementation. Join us to take your knowledge of CBA to the next level!

You're Overpaying for CI - Kyle Penfound, Dagger

Thursday November 14, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

In recent years, the computational power of developer workstations has surged dramatically. With so much compute available at every developer's fingertips, why do we continue to waste time and money with lengthy build times on sluggish CI compute? Some forward-thinking organizations are re-evaluating this approach, questioning the necessity of paying for CI compute when the developers' workstations, which are already more powerful and paid for, remain underutilized. In this technical session we will transition a fully functioning production CI system from cloud-based compute to local workstation compute. We will explore the intricacies of replicating the functionality of a modern CI system, leveraging the power of developer workstations, all using open source software.

Bring the Joy Back to Deployments! - Murriel McCabe, Google Cloud & Elizabeth Ponce, Airbnb

Thursday November 14, 2024 4:30pm - 5:05pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Destination: deployment! Your feature is complete. Your application is ready. You want to share your hard work with the world. How do you pick the optimal deployment process? Where do you even start? In this talk, Murriel and Elizabeth will be your guides on a brief tour of several open source tools for deploying a workload into Kubernetes. Our journey will begin with manual hello world deployments and from there we will explore some of the most common modern tools for CI/CD, including a demo speedrun! Major destinations on this tour will include helm, kustomize, skaffold, ArgoCD, Tekton, Jenkins and JenkinsX. We will walk through the fundamentals of CI/CD, explore tradeoffs and discuss the process for implementing these tools in your software development lifecycle. By the end of this talk, you'll be equipped to begin navigating the CI/CD landscape and will leave with resources that will enable you to get started quickly and begin testing in your own environment.

Navigating Failures in Pods with Devices: Challenges and Solutions - Sergey Kanzhelev, Google & Mrunal Patel, Red Hat

Thursday November 14, 2024 5:25pm - 6:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 250 AD

Pods are no longer running with just CPU and Memory. We provision GPUs, network cards, request special placement of those devices and allocated memory. And the more efficient or effective you want your set up to be, the more complicated those device requirements are, the more chances you will hit an edge case Kubernetes has not accounted for yet. Come to the talk to learn from Node Maintainers about some of those shortcomings in Kubernetes. If you are only starting with AI/ML and devices, you will be interested to learn what to expect. If you have lots of experience, you may still learn new things. With the increased focus on AI/ML workloads, highlighting those scenarios is important. As Kubernetes plans to fix those problems, you can give feedback on what would work best for you.
