Challenges in the adoption of Linux-based systems for companies have not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals. Attacks have been so widespread that the Department of homeland security has warned of increasing nation-states, criminal groups, and hacktivists against cloud-based enterprise resources.

While we’re fighting for our security and privacy, some are being left behind. Our current advice for securing our digital lives assume that the user is able to take control of their own own lives and are permitted to keep certain facts secret in order to authenticate to a service or device. For those whose threat models include former or current intimate partners their proximity to their attacker means that many security solutions are ineffective and, in some cases, harmful to implement. We will explore cases where traditional security measures fail an already-vulnerable populatiions.

Bring a laptop to follow along with this interactive session as we learn Kubernetes basics using curl, kubectl, oc and other command-line tools. Attendees will learn to model portable, scaleable, and highly-available solutions using open source tools for cloud-native computing.

By the end of this lab, attendees will have hands-on experience deploying, scaling, and automating simple container-based distributed solutions on Kubernetes.

Participants can follow along together in room 106, or join remotely via the live broadcast.

As members of the tech community we have ALL experienced an awkward moment or two… or five. We’re here to get real and hit a few points that we’ve experienced in our careers, from mansplaining to being told that real admins only use arch we will confess the sins of the Linux world in hopes of inspiring the next generation. Using our experience to give you a real world practical approach to not only getting started with Linux but the open source community as a whole; and along the way we will tell a few stories that we think you *just* might be able to relate to.

The number one question that someone starting out with container technology always seems to have is "Where do I get started?" While this appears to be a simple question for some, as the quick responses are "Read the docs" or "What questions do you have?" What happens, though, when the docs look like they were written in Greek and you didn't manage to take that one Greek language elective in high school?
