TUF: Secure Distribution Beyond Software - Marina Moore, Independent

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

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

As organizations improve their software supply chain, they may encounter an influx of metadata: attestations, SBOMs, VEX statements, and more. Have you ever wondered how to securely distribute all of this information to end users? Enter TUF! The Update Framework (TUF), has paved the way for secure software updates throughout the cloud native ecosystem and beyond, and is being expanded to securely distribute signing keys, attestations, and more. TUF allows organizations to ensure that all of this data is up-to-date and resilient to tampering. The TUF project is constantly improving and this talk will highlight some of these improvements, from recent integrations by groups such as Docker and Github to an effort to provide conformance testing across various TUF implementations. The TUF project has an active team of maintainers and contributors that make all of these improvements possible, and we will discuss how you can get involved to keep making the project better.

Mastering ApplicationSet: Advanced Argo CD Automation - Alexander Matyushentsev, Akuity

Wednesday November 13, 2024 3:25pm - 4:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

Argo CD has become an essential deployment tool that engineers use to automate various infrastructure management use cases across hundreds of clusters. This presents a new challenge of managing Argo CD applications at scale. The Argo CD team has explored multiple approaches to solving this, resulting in the creation of ApplicationSet. Over time, ApplicationSet has gained many features, becoming sophisticated and quite complex to use. In this session, we will dive into advanced ApplicationSet features: orchestrating complex rollouts of ingress controllers across multiple clusters and accommodating snowflake clusters. We will enable the audience to answer these and many other questions about using ApplicationSet. Finally, we will demonstrate an effective way to debug ApplicationSet specifications without digging through logs and altering production Argo CD settings.

Container Image Workflows at Scale with Buildpacks - Jesse Brown, Heroku & Aidan Delaney, Bloomberg

Wednesday November 13, 2024 5:25pm - 6:00pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

Buildpacks transform source applications into images that run on any cloud. Each output image contains a full Software Bill of Materials which allows platform developers to know precisely what software is deployed. This makes them an excellent solution where a container runtime is provided to untrusted or semi-trusted development teams. There are wider use-cases where many application development teams share a common runtime, like Kuberenetes. In this talk we look at using Buildpacks to deploy web applications at scale, we consider batch processing in large workflows - particularly AI/machine learning workflows - and we look at an example Functions as a Service platform that uses Buildpacks.

Strimzi: Data Streaming on Kubernetes with Apache Kafka - Jakub Scholz, Red Hat & Lixin Yao, Apple

Friday November 15, 2024 2:55pm - 3:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

Strimzi is a CNCF incubating project focusing on running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes. Apache Kafka is a leading date-streaming platform used for building real-time data pipelines. It provides support for high-throughput/low-latency messaging, as well as sophisticated data ingress, egress, and processing capabilities. However, running it on Kubernetes can be complex and tedious. Strimzi makes it simple by providing a set of operators and other tools to make data streaming as simple and Kubernetes-native as possible. This talk will briefly introduce Strimzi, explaining how it works and what it offers. And then it will focus on the current and planned features and their release plans. It will cover the exciting features being worked on - such as ZooKeeper removal, tiered storage, auto-rebalancing, or new certificate management - and deep dive into the most important ones.

Running a Highly Available Identity and Access Management with Keycloak - Ryan Emerson & Kameswararao Akella, Red Hat

Friday November 15, 2024 4:55pm - 5:30pm MST

Salt Palace | Level 3 | 355 EF

A single sign on solution for your customers and employees should be designed for high availability without a single point of failure. Keycloak is no exception to this. A clustered Keycloak deployment in a single site provides sufficient availability for many. An increasing number of organizations need to utilize multiple sites for improved resiliency or to meet legal requirements. Keycloak overhauled its capabilities and now provides deployment blueprints to the community. This talk presents how we approached the problem, and the challenges we faced. Expect to dive into concepts like load shedding, cache stampedes, and automated failover. See tools like Gatling, Helm, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes Operators and cloud infrastructure in action. We will also provide an outlook for the next steps in our journey. These insights will help you to improve your Keycloak deployments as well as design and test your own applications so they can withstand high load and site failures.
