The Spice Must Flow Green: CNCF's Environmental Sustainability TAG - Marlow Warnicke (Weston), SchedMD & Saiyam Pathak, Loft Labs

Wednesday November 13, 2024 11:15am - 11:50am MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

The carbon must be counted. In the Environmental Sustainability TAG, we focus on current and emerging technologies regarding carbon measurement and minimization. As our digital landscape grows, so does its impact on the environment—a factor often overlooked in the pursuit of technological advancement, such as AI. Traditionally, companies focused primarily on financial metrics. However, with increasing awareness of climate issues, stricter regulations, and rising energy costs, environmental impact is now a crucial consideration. We highlight the Green Reviews Working Group and our project to measure impact. We're developing a pipeline that works with current tooling, such as Kepler, to measure the power consumption of CNCF Projects. We explore how to measure energy consumption and emissions of software projects. We also give the status of other projects, such as the sustainability landscape, initiatives such as our sustainability week, and collaborative organisations.

Understanding How OpenTelemetry Network Uses eBPF for Network Observability - Shivanshu Raj Shrivastava, SigNoz & Jonathan Perry, State-fu

Wednesday November 13, 2024 4:30pm - 5:05pm MST

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

The recent advancements in eBPF tooling, including the enhanced eBPF runtime embedded in the Linux kernel, the BPF Compiler Collection (BCC) for efficient kernel tracing, and the LLVM Compiler for converting C code to eBPF programs, have made it easier to provide always-on network visibility. OpenTelemetry Network leverages these foundational tools to provide out-of-the-box network observability for modern infrastructures. In this talk, we'll explore the architecture of the OTel Network, focusing on its key components: the kernel collector, kubernetes collector, cloud collector, and reducer which together enable collecting, ingesting, aggregating, enriching, and exporting telemetry data collected from various sources. We'll show an end-to-end setup to demonstrate the use of these agents and reducer component to send data to the OTel collector. This session aims to equip end-users and contributors with the necessary infomation to get started with the OpenTelemetry Network project.

Bare Metal Kubernetes with KOps: Gathering Community Wisdom - Justin Santa Barbara, Google & Ciprian Hacman, Microsoft

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

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Kubernetes on bare metal presents unique challenges compared to cloud deployments. While kOps is optimized for cloud environments, we have begun to explore bare metal support and identify key architectural trade-offs. We'll examine common architectures for bare metal Kubernetes, such as node discovery and availability without cloud services. Introducing a VM layer creates a familiar Kubernetes environment but adds complexity and can limit hardware performance. We'll discuss managing devices like GPUs and the need for tooling when hardware health isn't verified by a cloud provider. This talk will delve into the kOps project and its potential in supporting bare metal Kubernetes. However, our primary goal is to learn from the community. We invite you to share your successes, struggles, and insights to shape the future of our tooling for bare metal. Your feedback is crucial in guiding our development and ensuring kOps meets the needs of those deploying Kubernetes on bare metal.

Securing the Future of Ingress-Nginx - James Strong, Isovalent & Marco Ebert, Giant Swarm

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

Hyatt Regency | Level 4 | Regency Ballroom A

Ingress NGINX is a very flexible Ingress controller that provides users with a lot of NGINX functionality through annotations. However, this flexibility also raises security concerns for maintainers and cluster administrators. There have been eight significant CVEs and RCEs in Ingress NGINX. To address these issues, we have created a security hardening guide, which will be presented as a preview in this talk. Additionally, we will enable restrictive features by default to offer a more secure out-of-the-box experience with Ingress NGINX such as annotation validations. To maintain and secure the project and its Gateway API implementation, we will not be adding any new features to the core functionality of ingress, and a significant amount of functionality, such as UDP/TCP Routing, will be moved to Gateway API. We will also unveil the new name of the project during this presentation.

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.

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!”
