If you go in Germany to your supermarket or in your favorite restaurant you will see some cryptic string on the receipt. What does this mean and what has that to do with Kubernetes? And how does it save the state 10 billion Euro?
We will talk about our Cloud Native Journey and how we built up our Fiskal Cloud on Kubernetes to prevent tax fraud in Germany. Starting from zero, we had a lot of learnings during this journey and did a good number of mistakes. We will talk how our API First approach helped taking customers with us from day one. How we implemented GitOps when ArgoCD and Flux were not as prominent as today and what we learned. We will explain why we violated the Microservices pattern to improve stability. We will tell you how we shaped our first true Cloud native engineering unit and adopted the SRE concepts to sign billions of transactions in Germany 24/7 with 100% uptime.

Secrets management is a difficult challenge: How do you create, rotate and manage access? And how would you even do that at scale? With External Secrets Operator you can leverage existing solutions like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager that manage secrets for you and integrate them with Kubernetes.

You need to get a small web application up and running, without much fuss and complexity? Well, lucky you, if there is a dedicated k8s cluster already running within the company.

Welcome to the Kubernetes Community Days 2022 in Berlin !

There are many third-party tools in place such as webservers, databases, logging-stacks and monitoring tools which are providing infrastructure to your own software application.
