Tutorial: A Mad Scientist's Guide to Automating CNI with Generative AI - Doug Smith, Red Hat, Inc
Wednesday November 13, 2024 11:15am - 12:45pm MST
Ready to make Kubernetes networking a little easier and a lot more fun? Join Doug for an experiment in configuring CNI (Container Networking Interface) using generative AI. Despite being advised by data scientists to avoid automating machine configurations with generative AI, Doug went into the mad scientist's lab (err, basement) and tested how often a workflow could generate CNI configurations that would establish network connectivity between pods – and the success rate might surprise you. In this session, you'll automate CNI configurations using a large language model (LLM) and gain experience with a nifty tech stack: Ollama for running a containerized LLM, Kubernetes, CNI, and some script wizardry to create your own auto-configurator. Best yet? No prior CNI or AI/ML knowledge needed, and you'll learn along the way! Just in case, have contingency plans ready should any Skynet or Space Odyssey 2001 scenarios arise during the tutorial.

Tutorial: Confidential Containers 101: A Hands-on Workshop - Archana Choudhary & Suraj Deshmukh, Microsoft
Wednesday November 13, 2024 2:30pm - 4:00pm MST
Here is how you can be prepared for the workshop, to follow along: https://github.com/surajssd/kubecon-na24-workshop/blob/main/preparation.md

As traditional enterprises with stringent data protection requirements become cloud-native and migrate to Kubernetes on public clouds, they are wondering: “Is my data secure on this shared hardware? Can someone with a host access snoop on my data?” And especially, with the upcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in Europe mandating data protection in use, it’s crucial for users to familiarize themselves with solutions like Confidential Containers (CoCo), a CNCF sandbox project. In this, first of its kind, hands-on workshop we’ll dive deep into using CoCo with k8s. We’ll explore real-world challenges, such as ensuring data confidentiality from platform owners (cloud providers), and show you how to overcome them. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn to set up CoCo and secure your containerized workloads, turning theory into practice. Attendees will discover streamlined practices, find robust protection mechanisms, and gain strategic insights into adopting CoCo.

Tutorial: Live with Gateway API V1.2 - Flynn, Buoyant & Mike Morris, Microsoft
Thursday November 14, 2024 2:30pm - 4:00pm MST
Gateway API v1.2 is here! We have GA support for service mesh! We have timeouts in HTTPRoutes! We have GRPCRoutes! And we still have precious few real-world walkthroughs of using Gateway API to get real things done… In this hands-on workshop hosted by Gateway API contributors and GAMMA co-leads, we’ll start with completely unconfigured clusters, walk through installing a demo app with your choice of ingress controller and service mesh (Envoy Gateway + Linkerd, or Istio), then dig into actually using Gateway API for routing, resilience, and progressive delivery with an application using HTTP and gRPC at the same time. You’ll walk away with practical, real-world knowledge about what Gateway API can do and how to use it, and portable skills you’ll be able to apply to the many projects implementing Gateway API!

Tutorial: No Mess Rollouts with Gateway API: Leveraging Gateway API and Argo Rollouts for Progressive Delivery - Nina Polshakova & Lawrence Gadban, Solo.io
Thursday November 14, 2024 4:30pm - 6:00pm MST
Modern application delivery has many pitfalls: version transitions, traffic management, quality assurance, performance monitoring, and rollbacks. If you encounter an upgrade issue, what can you do? Mirror traffic? Debug locally? Roll back? Argo Rollouts lets teams gradually and safely deploy new versions of applications. A standard Gateway API enables any provider to support Argo Rollouts without provider-specific code. Argo Rollouts monitors Prometheus metrics to verify performance and reverts if success criteria aren’t met. This hands-on lab guides you on integrating Argo Rollouts with applications using different Gateway API implementations. Using Argo and Gateway API resources (HTTPRoute), you’ll learn to adjust traffic weights and gradually direct more traffic to a new version. We will also explore challenges in route delegation and role-based access control within Gateway API and potential extensions to address gaps in traffic shaping, access control, and debugging rollouts.

Tutorial: OpenTelemetry Hands-on - Automatic and Manual Instrumentation for Java and Python Apps - Tobias Angerstein, Novatec Consulting GmbH & Tiffany Jernigan, Independent
Friday November 15, 2024 11:00am - 12:30pm MST
In today's software landscape - in the cloud-native one in particular - observability has become a critical aspect of ensuring the performance, reliability, and security of applications. OpenTelemetry, a standard and OSS observability framework, provides a unified way to collect and export telemetry data from applications and services. This tutorial will guide participants through the process of using OpenTelemetry to instrument a simple application, collect metrics, traces, and logs, and send them to various backends for analysis. It covers the implementation and usage of OpenTelemetry into Python and Java-based applications. The exercises include: the instrumentation of a polyglot microservice application, auto vs. manual instrumentation, evaluating the collected traces, logs and metrics, configuring a collector, analysing the results in Jaeger and Prometheus. This tutorial is made for everyone seeking a pragmatic understanding of OpenTelemetry's immediate benefits.

Tutorial: Simplify and Optimize Your YAML with YAMLScript - Ingy döt Net, YAML LLC
Friday November 15, 2024 2:00pm - 3:30pm MST
Nobody likes YAML (or anything for that matter) when its a giant and repetitive mess. Of course, there are already existing technologies like Helm and Kustomize that help provide make YAML nicer for Kubernetes. The new kid on the block is YAMLScript. Being a complete programming language (built over a vast and mature ecosystem) its capabilities are effectively limitless. That said, its primary focus is on refactoring and improving existing and new large YAML configurations. YAMLScript can help you make the most of YAML in any domain; even those that already make great use of Helm and Kustomize. Having been created by an original inventor and current lead maintainer of the YAML data language (Ingy döt Net) you can count on it meshing well with the YAML you already know. In this hands on interactive tutorial, Ingy will teach you how to make the most of YAML and YAMLScript.
