Keynote: Multicluster Batch Jobs Dispatching with Kueue at CERN - Ricardo Rocha, Lead Platforms Infrastructure, CERN & Marcin Wielgus, Staff Software Engineer, Google
Wednesday November 13, 2024 9:10am - 9:25am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
With the skyrocketing demand for GPUs and problems with obtaining the hardware in requested quantities in desired locations, the need for multicluster batch jobs is stronger than ever.

During this talk we will show how you can automatically find the needed capacity across multiple clusters, regions or clouds, dispatch the jobs there and monitor their status. We will discuss the setup in both fixed-size on-prem environments, fully autoscaled clusters running on clouds and mixed, hybrid environments. In the end we will present what a recent effort for a multicluster setup looks like at CERN, do a quick (but impressive) demo, and share the lessons learned during the deployment.

Wednesday November 13, 2024 9:25am - 9:30am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
When Kubernetes first started out it was a place of potential and early adopters jumped all over it because of the openness. Now, more than 10 years later – an eternity in software – the cloud native space approaches adulthood where early adopters still abound, but large regulated industries are now depending on its technologies, and everyone in between wants to find their place in this world. Along the way, edge solutions, AI, virtualization, and other technologies started building on top of them. SUSE has always been at the heart of the open source community, and CEO DP van Leeuwen says he sees that commitment only getting deeper in future. SUSE developers have made significant contributions for decades, and DP will explain why he believes so passionately in open, community-based standards based on Kubernetes for the new innovations in AI and the edge.

Thursday November 14, 2024 9:40am - 9:45am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
Status quo approaches to network security are failing to meet the evolving needs of the Kubernetes user base and ecosystem. A comprehensive security posture requires the ability to secure, control, and observe any request on the network. Yet today, ingress traffic is treated differently than east west traffic. Outgoing requests to third party APIs, LLMs, and SaaS leverage a completely separate approach and toolchain. The technology used to solve these challenges is outdated, inconsistent, overlapping, and does not fit platform engineering principles of automation and configuration as code. Rather than settling for the status quo, new innovations in the cloud-native ecosystem allow us to reimagine our approach to network security. In this keynote, we’ll discuss a comprehensive approach to omni-directional network security for Kubernetes and beyond.

Keynote: Cloud Native’s Next Decade: Stable, Secure, and...Ready for Disruption? - Nikhita Raghunath, Principal Engineer, Broadcom
Thursday November 14, 2024 9:45am - 10:00am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
In the cloud native world, we've come a long way – after a decade of driving Kubernetes adoption, it feels like we’ve hit a milestone. With the pace of new Kubernetes features slowing down, some might think that we’ve reached a “steady state”. But have we really?

While the ecosystem feels more stable and secure than ever, the next decade holds challenges that demand our attention, especially in the realm of security. Sure, we all know security is vital, and there’s been a lot of fantastic work across the board, from OSS initiatives to innovative startups. But the threat landscape is shifting fast.

As we peer into the future, it's not just about refining what we already know. It's about tackling new challenges that are emerging on the horizon, like securing AI systems. Some may say it’s too early -- that AI security is just hype. But think again. AI introduces complexities we haven't seen before, offering both new vulnerabilities and fresh opportunities for defense. Are we ready to face the coming wave of security threats that could reshape the digital landscape?

This keynote will dive into what’s next in cloud native security, while showing why this "boring" phase is just the calm before a new storm of innovation and challenges that will shape the next decade.

But like the rest of the technology landscape, the explosive growth of Batch, ML, and GenAI workloads alongside existing, often business-critical, workloads creates new challenges for end users running on Kubernetes.

In previous technology cycles, the most likely outcome would be the rise of a new platform. However, due to the declarative API, the modular and extensible nature of the platform, and the strength of the ecosystem, Kubernetes can evolve in ways that were more difficult for previous platforms.

Google is significantly re-focusing and increasing our already industry-leading investment in Kubernetes to refactor, extend, and even re-invent significant aspects of Kubernetes to meet the needs of the next decade. This is the fundamental challenge: innovation to address new opportunities without disruption to the installed base.

Keynote: Four Cloud Native Technology Areas to Watch For - Lin Sun, Head of Open Source, Solo.io & Karena Angell, Chief Architect, Red Hat
Friday November 15, 2024 9:35am - 9:45am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
As part of the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC), we've been busy reviewing projects that are coming into the CNCF, promoting projects from various stages (sandbox, incubation and graduation) and identifying areas of greater collaboration. Along with the reviews, we are innovating the technical review processes, and collecting end user feedback. We would like to take you through four key cloud native technology areas to watch for in the next few years, reflecting what we see in the cloud native ecosystem.

Keynote: Kubernetes Family Feud: A Decade of Architecture and Evolution - Hosted by Tim Hockin, Distinguished Engineer, Google
Friday November 15, 2024 10:05am - 10:20am MST
Salt Palace | Level 1 | Hall DE
Kubernetes is 10 years old! While its growth has been remarkable, it has also accrued technical debt, familiar to long-standing members, and there are still many issues that remain as top concerns.

In this fun Family Feud-style format, team leads and a moderator will engage experienced community members in discussing these architectural and design issues. By polling the community ahead of time, we aim to surface the most pressing, or at least bothersome, concerns. Two teams, each headed by a captain on stage, will compete in the typical Family Feud style.

After attending this session, participants will gain awareness of early design and architectural decisions and compromises, understanding which have been fixed and how to work around others. Along the way, attendees might enjoy a hearty laugh or two, appreciating the collective wisdom of the community members polled.
