Kubernetes Users Speak Up

What's it really like migrating to, and running, large installations of Kubernetes?  Several institutional users who depend on Kubernetes for their infrastructure will talk about it, sharing advantages, pitfalls, and experiences. This panel, which will include engineers and managers from Github, Datadog, Ticketmaster and others, will discuss their journeys to deploying Kubernetes.  They will be available to answer your questions about real production use.  Join us to learn more about what it will be like when you move to the container cloud.

Why you need a private container image registry, and how to deploy one using open source.

When you deploy containers in a production setting, a lot can go wrong if you unleash unconstrained container images directly from the Internet. This session will explain how a private registry can allow governance along with security, performance and reliability advantages. We will explain Harbor, an open source container registry – starting with simple use cases and going into advanced topics such as policy driven replication and role based access control, integrated into CI/CD workflow.

Smart Cities and IoT: with opportunity comes risk

IoT is fostering collection of data related to many aspects of commerce, health, environment, and transportation.

This is poised to become the nervous system for society. It will drive control loops for commerce, transportation, and public safety - and become a target for mischief, criminals, and terrorists. 

Miscreants aren’t the only threat. Open flow of information, sometimes threatens dysfunctional or totalitarian governments.

This talk will focus on the need for an architecture that keeps IoT data streams trustworthy and highly available.
