Are Your Microservices Truly Scaling? A Framework for Unlocking the Stateful Backend - Sam Dillard, PingCAP

Friday November 15, 2024 2:00pm - 2:35pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Kubernetes has forged the way to microservice applications. Most of the reasons we disaggregate applications lead back to how each component scales. The backend components of these scaling applications are a sticking point for R&D organizations and a major reason applications aren't as agile as they otherwise could be. When applications scale, data systems undergo a lot of change proportionally. For example, table and index scans travel further, index creation re-organizes more data, backups and restores get slower, data integrity loosens, changefeeds get thicker, and staff spreads thinner. The system that scales best is the one in which these dimensions are impacted the least.

What’s Going on in the Containerd Neighborhood? - Phil Estes, AWS; Samuel Karp, Google; Akihiro Suda, NTT; Michael Brown, IBM; Kirtana Ashok, Microsoft

Friday November 15, 2024 2:55pm - 3:30pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Our recent maintainer sessions have covered the soon-to-launch containerd v2.0. During this session led by maintainers we will give a brief update on 2.0, but will spend more time looking at the ecosystem around us. Why does containerd exist? What value does it bring to the overall cloud native world? How are other projects using it to build and extend containerd in useful ways? We’ll spend some time on containerd’s largest subproject, nerdctl, which also has an upcoming 2.0 release, and additionally catch the community up on activity in our Rust subproject ecosystem, the runwasi containerd shim, and lazy loading snapshotters. Since this is KubeCon, we’ll also provide an update on CRI changes and KEP-driven additions around NRI, DRA, and checkpoint/restore. Attendees will leave with a broad view of the larger containerd ecosystem of projects as well as key information on how to get involved if you are interested to help and contribute in any way to the “containerd neighborhood!”

Meet the CNCF Code of Conduct Committee - Bill Mulligan & Carla Gaggini, Isovalent at Cisco; Josh Berkus, Red Hat; Jeremy Rickard, Microsoft; Tim Pepper, CISA

Friday November 15, 2024 4:00pm - 4:35pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

You've seen those Code of Conduct signs all over the conference. What happens when you report an incident? How is it handled? Who evaluates it? Can I remain anonymous? And why does it take so long? Come meet the CNCF's first elected Code of Conduct Committee, who will have answers to these questions and more. They'll go over the values and goals of the CoCC, the process for investigating and evaluating incident reports, as well as what the CoCC has jurisdiction over (and what it doesn't). They'll share how they work with CNCF projects and project-level committees to support and educate them, as well as with the Events Team to achieve resolutions. Bring your own questions about CoC enforcement and how the committee works to the session, and the CoCC will answer as many of them as they can.
