Tutorial: Kubernetes Smart Scaling: Getting Started with Karpenter - Changsu Lee & Raj Saha, AWS; Wilson Darko & Charlie McBride, Microsoft; Praseeda Sathaye, Amazon

Thursday November 14, 2024 11:00am - 12:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom ACE

Karpenter is an open-source node provisioner that simplifies infrastructure management for Kubernetes clusters. It automatically launches the right compute resources to handle application demands, allowing you to leverage the cloud's elastic capabilities with fast and simple provisioning. This hands-on workshop will guide you through setting up Karpenter in your Kubernetes clusters, how Karpenter automatically responds to changes in application load, scheduling and resource requirements, and placing new workloads onto available compute capacity. Additionally, you'll explore how Karpenter reduces cluster costs by removing under-utilized nodes, replacing expensive nodes with cheaper alternatives, and consolidating workloads onto efficient resources. Throughout the workshop, you'll gain hands-on experience with Karpenter's advanced capabilities, such as evaluating scheduling constraints, enabling continuous optimization through consolidation, and managing drift for day-2 operations.

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

Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom ACE

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.
