What Istio Got Wrong: Learnings from the Last Seven Years of Service Mesh - Christian Posta & Louis Ryan, Solo.io

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

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 254 B

Building complex systems often requires simplicity in components—a lesson the Istio project has learned throughout its seven(plus)-year journey. Although Istio offers a lot of powerful features for application networking, crucial for many organizations, the path to maturity and broader adoption was fraught with challenges. In this talk, we explore the key mistakes made during Istio's development, including its initially complex architecture, an overload of features, premature release of version 1.0, difficulties faced by contributors, and delays in joining the CNCF. We will discuss the impact of these mistakes, how these missteps were addressed, and how they have positioned Istio as a leader in the service mesh market. This presentation will detail how Istio's evolution reflects a shift towards simpler, more modular components that together offer effective solutions for managing APIs and service-to-service communication regardless of platform.

Tackling GPU Shortages and High Costs by Harnessing Hybrid Kubernetes Clusters - Xiaoman Dong & Alex Pucher, Parasail

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

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 254 B

In the era of supporting AI and large language models, acquiring GPU supplies from major cloud providers is challenging and expensive. Meanwhile, a significant supply of affordable GPU resources is emerging from various third-party providers. Hybrid Kubernetes clusters are the perfect solutions to integrate these GPUs into existing services built on large cloud providers. At our startup focusing on cloud infrastructure, we have created numerous hybrid Kubernetes clusters based on K3s and P2P VPN using the Wireguard protocol. With this setup, we have successfully integrated more than ten sources of GPUs from different geographical locations, achieving nearly unlimited on-demand GPU resources while reducing GPU costs by 2x-4x. In this talk, we will discuss the architecture, pros and cons, requirements, and limitations of pure hybrid Kubernetes clusters for GPUs. We will also share lessons learned during the building and management of such true hybrid Kubernetes clusters.

Can You Put a Price Tag on Open Source? - Mario Fahlandt, Kubermatic & Bob Killen, CNCF

Friday November 15, 2024 11:00am - 11:35am MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 255 E

Earlier this year, the Harvard Business School released the paper titled “The Value of Open Source Software,” estimating the worldwide value of OSS at 8.8 trillion, and on average, it would cost companies at least 3.5x more to develop similar projects internally. Yet, many organizations and engineers struggle to understand or realize this kind of value from contributing to these projects. In this talk, Bob and Mario will discuss the many benefits individuals and companies can achieve by contributing to open source and guide you through the first steps to becoming a contributor. They will also cover how to develop a lightweight open source strategy and convince your organization that an open source first approach can yield great returns.

Open Source 2.0: The Maintainers' Perspective - William Morgan, Buoyant; Ashley Davis, Venafi; Deepthi Sigireddi, PlanetScale; Emily Omier, Emily Omier Consulting; Matt Bates, Cofide

Friday November 15, 2024 11:00am - 11:35am MST

Salt Palace | Level 2 | 255 B

Open source rules the world, and for a good reason: The code is generally better and more secure, bugs are fixed faster, and more. Virtually all modern applications run on it. But the landscape has changed since the early Linux days. Nights and weekends, volunteer-led projects are increasingly rare. Especially in the CNCF landscape, open source is maintained almost exclusively by companies that pursue a strategic goal, and they need a business justification for paying their engineers. So, who writes the code has changed, but the community's expectations — that it should be free — hasn't. While open source will remain free, the companies behind it must find ways to monetize it — whether through support, enterprise editions, or licensing models. Recent changes, including projects like Terraform, Flux, and Linkerd, highlight the need for a paradigm shift. Join this panel to hear from project maintainers why that is and the future they envision.

Never met a deaf person at a conference? That is not surprising. While there are lots of deaf engineers, until recently, most conferences — and virtually any other community activity — haven't been accessible to deaf community members. But for KubeCon, that all changed exactly a year ago! During this discussion, deaf panelists from various countries will shed light on their unique experiences being deaf in tech and the impact that making KubeCon accessible has had on their lives and hopes for the future. Attendees will learn why the technology space is a great fit for deaf individuals, the benefits and opportunities deaf professionals bring to the table, and what it takes to be an accessible and welcoming community. Panelists will also debunk common misconceptions and empower *you* to take steps toward a more inclusive cloud native ecosystem.

Gamifying Cloud Native: How to Design and Build an Educational Game for Your Project - Calum Murray, University of Toronto, Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering & Zainab Husain, OCAD University

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

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom B

Have you ever struggled to explain what a Cloud Native project does? One of the challenges many cloud native projects face is that the abstractions they provide are not intuitive for new users. Since cloud technologies are often built on top of each other and use domain specific language, this problem compounds. Luckily, educational games can be made to help communicate these abstract concepts in a fun and engaging format! In this talk, we will explore how you can build an educational game for your project through the example of a game that the Knative community has built to teach Knative Eventing. We will walk through the steps other open source projects can follow to design their own educational game, including brainstorming strategies for deciding on key concepts and which metaphors/symbols to use to represent these concepts. These information design strategies can also be applied to create more understandable educational cloud native content in general!
