Behind the Iron Curtain: Getting Metrics From the Browser into Prometheus [I] - Tom Wilkie, Weaveworks

Prometheus has so far been pigeon holed as a monitoring technology for the backend; well, no more! With the rise of single-page apps, gathering metrics from within the browser has never been more important - latency as experienced by the user is much more important than any measurements taken from individual backend services. And if you can’t track Javascript errors that could potentially lead to blank screens, you should feel bad.

This talk presents a method for tracking UI metrics and errors with Prometheus. By getting this data into Prometheus, you can reuse the dashboarding and alerting options that you've grown to love. And by using a common monitoring stack across frontend and backend, you can finally claim the throne of the king of fullstack!

Configuring Prometheus for High Performance [A] - Björn Rabenstein, SoundCloud Ltd.

A key to Prometheus's success is its operational simplicity. It takes only minutes to get a server with a meaningful configuration up and running from scratch. However, once you need to run your Prometheus server a bit hotter, you will quickly find yourself practicing the dark art of tuning Prometheus command line flags. This talk will shed some light on how to handle various scenarios: How to run Prometheus on a tiny machine or how to utilize a large amount of RAM. How to optimize for very high ingestion rates or for a lot of time series. How to get the most out of your old spinning disk or how to limit the wearout of your expensive SSD. There will also be a sneak preview of ongoing efforts to reduce the required amount of flag tuning.

Ops for Developers - Monitor Your Java Application with Prometheus [I] - Alexander Schwartz, msg systems ag

Prometheus is ready-to-go to monitor your infrastructure and your containers. Capturing simple metrics from a Java application can be done automatically. But Developers need to go one step further to provide useful application and business metrics. This talk shows how to collect meaningful metrics in Vert.x and Spring based Java applications. It applies Dropwizard Metrics to gather internal application statistics, and Hystrix to provide metrics of the external interfaces the application consumes. It also shows how to fill gaps by writing your own collector. By providing end-to-end examples this talk enables developers to make their application ready for production.

360° Monitoring of Your Services [I] - Philipp Krenn, Elastic

"With microservices every outage is like a murder mystery" is a common banter. But it doesn't have to be! This talk gives an overview on how to monitor Spring Boot applications, since they are increasingly popular for building microservices. We dive into:
- System metrics: Keep track of network traffic and system load.
- Application logs: Collect and parse your logs.
- Application metrics: Get the information from Boot's metric and health endpoints and store it.
- Request tracing: Use Sleuth to trace requests through a distributed system.
- Uptime monitoring: Use Heartbeat to ping services and actively monitor their availability.
All the data will be aggregated and visualized in Kibana, giving you an all around view of your system.

50 Shades of System Calls [I] - Jorge Salamero Sanz, Sysdig

Transaction tracing is typically thought of something that only developers do when they need to troubleshoot a piece of their software. And lately, it’s also been used for tracing microservice-based transactions too.

These are really useful capabilities, but what if you could profile everything? Yes everything - software functions, microservice calls, file access, network requests, even bash scripts. How would this change your view on your systems? How would this enable you to better understand what your software is actually doing?

In this talk I’ll show you how to trace everything using Sysdig, an open source system visibility tool. We’ll cover:
How to trace everything from a method in your software, a service call, a network request, a shell command execution, a script, and more
What effective tracing in containerized environments requires
How to report on your traces to make the most sense of the data
Use real-world examples of tracing that show its benefits
When you leave this talk, it’s very likely that you’ll skip the next one so that you can go trace something!

About Jorge Salamero Sanz

A Staging Environment Per Pull Request: Building Our Own Controller! [B] - Kamal Marhubi, Heap

Services like TravisCI and CircleCI make it easy to run your test suite on every pull request. But sometimes you just want to kick the tires of a complete system with your changes applied. Kubernetes let's us do far better than an ad hoc staging environment: launch an entire environment in the cluster for each pull request! In this talk, we'll walk through the design of a system for declaratively specifying staging environments. Along the way we'll take a look behind the curtain and learn about the beautifully simple control loop architecture that underlies all Kubernetes components.

Alerting in Cloud Native Environments [I] - Fabian Reinartz, CoreOS

In a Cloud Native infrastructure, component failure is normal and expected. The loss of a single node or a dozen hard drives is automatically handled by the systems running a datacenter, removing the need to page someone at 4am.

This calls for an alerting system that understands service availability at a global scope, yet is still able to give detailed reports if and when there is a service-impacting incident. Prometheus achieves this by defining alerting conditions directly on time series data. The resulting alerts are grouped and aggregated into comprehensive and meaningful notifications.

Fabian will walk through the philosophy of time series based alerting, the Prometheus architecture behind it, and how practical anomaly detection can be implemented.

Audit in Kubernetes Now, and in the Future [B] - Maciej Szulik, Red Hat

Quoting Wikipedia “an audit is a systematic and independent examination of (...) records”. Now think for a second, how much information is floating through your Kubernetes cluster. Deployments, Jobs and many other controllers creating and destroying Pods. Administrators creating Users, granting Roles. Users creating and modifying ConfigMaps, Secrets and many, many others. You can limit actions performed by a single User creating Roles, controllers can be assigned ServiceAccounts, etc, of course. But even with all that in place, are you sure you can easily trace when a change was introduced, and most importantly who performed it? This is when auditing comes into play.

During this presentation, I will introduce what auditing is, and what you can expect from one of the best hidden features of Kubernetes, and why should you care. I don't like just talking about ideas, so we’ll also walk through a live demo showcasing the audit feature. With all the current state laid out, I will discuss the future evolution of this feature. Most importantly, I will cover the scope of the information that should be gathered during processing each request. What policies should be implemented to provide reasonable balance between performance and accountability. Lastly, I will cover the most sensitive topic, how to store all that information.

After this session you will understand how auditing in Kubernetes works, and how to leverage it to stay informed about what goes on in your cluster. Furthermore, I am hoping this presentation will foster a discussion about advanced audit feature and its shape in Kubernetes.

Autoscaling a Multi-Platform Kubernetes Cluster Built with kubeadm [I] - Lucas Käldström, Upper Secondary School Student - Individual Maintainer

Does Kubernetes run on any architecture other than Intel/AMD64? Yes it does, since v1.3.0.
Lucas Käldström (@luxas), a general upper secondary school student, added support for ARM and ARM 64-bit to the core codebase earlier this year. Kubernetes is all about letting you choose the container runtime, the operating system, the environment (cloud vs bare metal) etc., so why wouldn’t you like to choose CPU architecture as well?

The talk demonstrates Kubernetes’ multi-architecture features in a very practical manner: by having a 10-node cluster of credit-card-sized devices with three architectures (amd64, arm and arm64) in front of the audience. The cluster is deployed with kubeadm. For the demo, a cross-platform nginx workload will be created from the dashboard, deployed to all nodes regardless of architecture, monitored via an auto-updating grafana dashboard and autoscaled by a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler while traffic is generated against the cluster’s Ingress controller. And just to make things more exciting, a node’s power cable may be unplugged by a volunteer from the audience, at any time during the heavy traffic to demonstrate Kubernetes’ auto-healing functions.

About Lucas Käldström

Building Distributed TensorFlow Using Both GPU and CPU on Kubernetes [I] - Zeyu Zheng & Huizhi Zhao, Caicloud

Big Data and Machine Learning have become extremely hot topics in recent years. Google has announced its AI-centric strategy and released the deep learning toolkit TensorFlow. TensorFlow soon became the most popular open source toolkit for deep learning applications. However, it may take years to train large deep learning models on a single machine without GPU. In order to accelerate the training process, we build a distributed TensorFlow system on Kubernetes which support both CPUs and GPUs.

In this presentation, I’d like to share our experiences about how to build this distributed TensorFlow system on Kubernetes. First, I'll briefly introduce TensorFlow and how TensorFlow supports training model distributedly. However, the original distribution mechanism lacks lots of components such as scheduling, monitoring, life cycle managing and etc. to make it suitable for production usage.

In the rest of the presentation, I'll focus on how to leverage Kubernetes to solve those problem. The solution involves three components. First, I'll introduce how to schedule TensorFlow jobs in a cluster with both CPUs and GPUs. Then I'll share our experience in managing the life cycle of a distributed TensorFlow job. Finally, I'll state our efforts in lowering the bar for using distributed TensorFlow

Building a Cloud-Native SQL Database [I] - Alex Robinson, Cockroach Labs

While compute management solutions like Docker and Kubernetes have rapidly advanced in recent years due to the proliferation of cloud infrastructure, storage options have been left behind in comparison. Conventional SQL databases have tacked on clustering options that help a little bit, but what would it take to build a strongly-consistent database specifically for cloud-native deployments.

This talk takes a deep-dive into the design of one such database, CockroachDB, which is being built from the ground up via open source. We will look specifically at how to achieve the easy deployment and management of a scalable, self-healing, strongly-consistent database with techniques such as dynamic sharding and rebalancing, consensus protocols, lock-free transactions, and more. We will then explore how you can both contribute to it and use it to build scalable, resilient applications that can be deployed to any cloud infrastructure.

Building a Storage Cluster with Kubernetes [I] - Bassam Tabbara, Quantum Corp.

Modern software storage systems are inherently complex. They are composed of numerous distributed components, require careful balancing of resources, and have stringent performance requirements. If you're running your applications in a public cloud you're typically shielded from this complexity and can utilize managed storage services like EBS, S3 and EFS. If you're running on-premise, however, your choices are quite limited and typically result in using traditional big-iron storage systems.

In this talk we'll walkthrough how we've built a production-ready storage cluster using Kubernetes. Storage nodes run as pods and enumerate the available storage devices within the cluster. We'll explore how to optimize the network through CNI plugins to separate client and storage cluster traffic. We'll show how some of the features of Kubernetes including controllers/operators, third-party resources, resource management, and rolling upgrades can lead to more powerful and resilient storage clusters. We'll also walk through use cases where the storage cluster is dedicated (hyperscaled) or shared with other applications (hyperconverged).

Cisco's Devnet Goes Cloud Native: A Case Study on Transforming to Cloud Native [I] - Matt Johnson, Cisco

DevNet is Cisco’s developer program through which external developers and partners interface, experiment and innovate using Cisco technologies, products and APIs. Devnet consists of technology innovations, software platforms, and tools needed to reach the full promise of the Software-Driven Enterprise. Our goal is to build the community of enterprise developers and innovators using DevNet’s key principles: Learn, Code, Inspire, and Connect.

DevNet offers multiple services to developers. Content and API navigation via our developer-friendly portal, tailored learning labs that bring Cisco technologies and knowledge home for the developers, sandboxes that enable developers to interact with Cisco products and services in easy and cost effective ways and communities of interest that bring developers together around their main areas of interests.

Devnet has been very successful and as a result, the architecture of the platform coupled with the software transformation that is occurring resulted in the cloudification of the devnet platform. At the core of the cloudification effort is the need to independently scale up the services to accommodate the growing pool of DevNet developers and to rapidly add more services to keep developers engaged and satisfied. Meeting these requirements in an architecture made of multiple monolithic services is expensive and slow. It was time to embark on our journey to transform our offerings into micro services.

Goals of the project:
- Create a high quality developer experience (learn, code, inspire, connect). This is the vision that we needed to set across the Devnet team, Cisco, and our external partners. Setting this vision and getting buy in across all levels of the organization is key.
- Create a flexible and agile platform. With a clear vision and alignment, the next set is to execute on the new architecture and enable the flexibility and scalability requirements.
- Make sure that our investment and resources are building and strengthening the platform. To accomplish this goal, we had to address process issues and invest in the right resources. This is critical to understand at the beginning of the effort and to plan to address and track progress against this important goal.
- BU content onboarding as strategic and technical advantage. Since the hard work was accomplished in the first 3 goals, this fourth one was achieved as a matter of addressing these Bus early and getting not only their buyin but more importantly, co-development alignment.

This presentation will discuss the effort we completed in taking Devnet to production with Kubernetes, Prometheus, and monitoring enhancements required. The lessons learned and sample applications created in the developer.cisco.com learning labs will be presented.

Cloud Native Strategy - From Ancient Greece to Container Orchestration (and Other Stuff They Don't Teach You at Business School) [B] - Jamie Dobson, Container Solutions

Many companies see the benefits of highly available, scalable and resilient systems. They want to go ‘cloud native’ but as they reach for containerised microservices they may actually be grabbing the golden egg rather than the goose that laid it.

In this talk, we’ll look at a model for emerging strategy, classic mistakes and how to avoid them. We’ll also look at how we can iterate through the ‘cloud native’ problem space. Along the way, and before we get to recent history, we’ll visit ancient Greece, post-war Scandinavia, and the Jet Propulsion Lab. We’ll learn about heuristics, including the doughnut principle, and then of course we’ll confront the key paradox that strategy tries to resolve: what is good for a business is not necessary good for those who work in it.

Cloud Native Transformation: How Ticketmaster is Changing Culture and Speeding Up Delivery [B] - Bindi Belanger, Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster redefined an entire market by being the first to put computers in box offices and we now have four decades worth of products and tools that connect fans with the live events they love. With over 21 ticketing systems across the world and massive global technology team that continues to create and deliver new products and services, we must continually increase our speed to delivery to keep pace with our competitors. Historically, production scale infrastructure required significant lead time and often resulted in product launch delays or painful scaling lessons. As we continue to transition to a completely Cloud Native product offering, we’re now able to deploy infrastructure within a matter of minutes instead of months, thereby allowing our development teams to quickly build and release new products and services. In this talk, we’ll discuss the challenges that we’ve faced along the way and how we’ve made organizational and process changes to help us arrive where we are today.

Containerd: The Universal Container Runtime [I] - Justin Cormack, Docker

Containerd is a new community project designed to provide a common runtime for every project that uses containers: Kubernetes, Docker, Amazon ECS, Azure Container Engine and many more, with contributors coming from Docker, Google, Red Hat, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, Alibaba and many more companies in the container space. It extends the collaboration on standards around the Open Container Initiative by implementing these standards, and is run by an independent foundation. This project will be a central point of collaboration between the diverse container community and an integration point for vendors, much like the Linux kernel project is.

Although containerd was designed to be a "boring infrastructure" component that just sits there and works for a huge range of use cases, it is a pretty exciting development for those of us involved in containers. This talk covers the state of the project now, the roadmap, how it fits into broader tools such as Docker and Kubernetes, how it will affect users, and the future roadmap. It is an open project which is seeking a wide range of input, so the talk covers how to get involved and contribute.

Dance Madly on the Lip of a Volcano with Security Release Processes [I] - Jess Frazelle, Google & Brandon Philips, CoreOS

This talk will cover how we designed an awesome security release process for Kubernetes and all it’s sub-projects.

Open source projects strive to be transparent in everything they do, but when it comes to fixing security patches they need to find the right balance of “open” and “responsible.” This means vulnerabilities should be reported in a safe way as well as patches tested and reviewed with a limited audience. The companies that rely on Kubernetes should have time to patch their systems before a public announcement.

Various sets of infrastructure and collaboration are needed to make this a reality. The design we used could also be applied to other projects and even internally in your company.

Join us to learn about the Kubernetes Security Release process and how we went from no infrastructure in 2016 to great infrastructure backed by an awesome team in 2017.

Elephants on Automatic: HA Clustered PostgreSQL with Helm [I] - Josh Berkus, Red Hat & Oleksii Kliukin, Zalando

Kuberntes and Helm are not only the best way to automate high-availability PostgreSQL clusters, they're also the easiest! Join us to find out how you can deploy several different PostgreSQL cluster types using Helm in 30 minutes or less.

Helm is a package manager of choice for the Kubernetes community. PostgreSQL is the most advanced open-source database and is quickly becoming the relational database of choice for numerous developers running their applications in the cloud. In this talk, we are going to show two different types of fully automated PostgreSQL clusters with Helm: Spilo and CitusDB. Spilo provides automated failover and support services for single-master database clusters, and CitusDB provides sharded, big-data PostgreSQL.

We will demonstrate both of these types of clusters (and possibly others), explain how the Helm charts which set them up work, and how you can modify them to support your production environment.

Fission: a Serverless Function Framework on Kubernetes [B] - Soam Vasani, Platform9 Systems, Inc.

"Serverless" functions allow users to easily create services from source code without dealing with the packaging, deployment, scaling, etc.

Fission is a serverless function framework built on Kubernetes. Users write functions and map them to HTTP routes. They don't have to deal with container images, registries or even learn Kubernetes in much detail.

Functions can be associated with HTTP routes, events, or timers. Functions consume CPU and memory resources only when running; they are started on-demand and killed when idle. Fission makes on-demand function loading very fast, by keeping an idle pool of containers running, in effect creating a distributed "threadpool".

Fission is useful for:
* Creating web app backends or REST APIs
* Implementing webhooks
* Writing event handlers

We'll demo the creation of a simple web app using fission functions in Python. We'll also cover:

* Unit testing and integration testing of functions
* Function versioning
* Logging, metrics, tracing
* Extensibility -- how to add arbitrary dependencies

We'll also show how tying together Kubernetes Watches and Fission functions make it very easy to write custom behaviour triggered by changes to arbitrary resources on Kubernetes.

About Soam Vasani
Soam Vasani is a software engineer at Platform9 Systems Inc, where he | works on the Fission framework. In the past he's worked at VMware on | a distributed filesystem, a log analysis stack, and an infrastructure | management product. Before that, he spent some time working on the | GNU debugger and toolchain. He's interested in programming languages, | tools and frameworks, and in distributed systems.

From Heroku to Cloud Native in 7 Weeks [B] - Ivan Pedrazas, Soho House

At Soho House we went from Heroku to be fully cloud native in only 7 weeks by choosing the right technologies: Kubernetes, Prometheus and Fluentd, and the right tools: Helm, drone.io, Kubernetes Third Party Resources and Nats.

During this talk we will see how a small team of developers managed to migrate their Heroku infrastructure to a multi cloud environment.

We will cover how the CI/CD based on Helm was built and the problems around building and deploying cloud native applications. We will explain how using Third Party resources and nats.io enabled a group of ruby developers to be fully productive with a kubernetes cluster by abstracting the hard bits.

We will cover how to build a production ready cluster using Prometheus and Fluentd allowed us to focus on what was important for Soho House: building a platform to deliver solutions quickly and without breaking the bank.

In summary, this is the story of a journey from zero to production using cloud native technologies.

Go + Microservices = Go Kit [I] - Peter Bourgon, Go Kit

Go is emerging as the default programming language for cloud-native tooling and infrastructure. But it's also a perfect language for implementing your business logic—with a little bit of help! This talk introduces and deep-dives into Go kit, an independent open-source toolkit for writing microservices in Go. We first identify the defining characteristics and challenges of working in a cloud-native architecture, and then build a production-grade, highly idiomatic Go kit microservice to address all of the concerns. Special attention is paid to instrumenting with Prometheus, log storage with Fluentd, distributed tracing with OpenTracing, and deploying via Kubernetes — all of which work out-of-the-box.

How We Built a Chargeback System for Twitter’s Compute Platform (Mesos/Aurora) That Incentives Higher Resource Utilization [I] - Jeyappragash Jeyakeerthi, Twitter Inc.

Twitter is powered by a collection of diverse, multi-tenant infrastructure and platform services. We run Mesos/Aurora for general compute, Manhattan for storage, Hadoop for batch compute and many more. We also run many platform services and one such example is our custom observability (monitoring) service.

Given Twitter scale, these services should always be available, reliable, scalable, well utilized, cost effective and flexible. The multi tenant nature of these services brings increased management complexity and a host of challenges, for both the service owner and end-users. Here are a few, that we will be covering (along with uses cases) during the first half part of the talk:
- resource discovery
- capacity planning
- resource ownership
- resource provisioning through self-service
- resource utilization and cost tracking

In the next half, we will talk about our solution i.e the Cloud Platform Management System: A simple way to catalogue, identify, plan, provision, meter usage and chargeback resources of multi-tenant infrastructure services. We will also share a case study on how we improved the overall utilization of the general compute platform (Mesos/Aurora) after being on-boarded into the Cloud Platform Management System. Finally, we will share our vision for the next generation cloud platform for multi-tenant services.

About Jeyappragash Jeyakeerthi
Jeyappragash leads Twitter’s Cloud Infrastructure Management Platform. This hybrid cloud platform helps developers manage and launch their services providing detailed visibility about resource usage and for infrastructure owners, to offer their infrastructure or platform as a true multi-tenant offering.

How We Run Kubernetes in Kubernetes, aka Kubeception [I] - Timo Derstappen, Giant Swarm

At Giant Swarm our users want fully-managed Kubernetes clusters without any limitations (incl. privileged access to the nodes). We deploy and manage these clusters either in our data center, in the preferred cloud of the customer, or even on-premise. Both for ourselves as well as for enterprise customers we need full isolation between clusters and a easy way to manage and update clusters without downtime.

In this talk we explain how we use a “mother” Kubernetes to deploy and manage fully-isolated and encrypted Kubernetes clusters for different customers or teams - aka Kubeception. Our model treats (inner) Kubernetes clusters as a third party resource and manages them with a custom controller. This way we have an automated way of provisioning and managing clusters without additional tooling or complex monitoring setups. Further, through our API, we are to be able to spin clusters up and down on demand, scale them, update them, keep track of which clusters are available, and be able to assign them to organizations and teams flexibly.

About Timo Derstappen
Timo Derstappen is CTO and co-founder of Giant Swarm. He has many years of experience in building scalable and automated cloud architectures.

IPVS for Scaled Private Cloud Load Balancing [I] - Kimberly Messimer, Comcast VIPER

In this talk, we discuss how Comcast VIPER addresses network-scaling bottlenecks using IPVS as a load balancer. We discuss the benefits including enabling us to achieve over 500Gbit/s egress from a modest Kubernetes cluster as well as dynamic VIP allocation.

Using a tool we’ve written in-house called Kube2IPVS, which utilize Kubernetes config maps, we can assign an ingress IP address and port to a Kubernetes service, and our load balancer will automatically reconfigure, with no downtime, to load balance traffic into a service.

We go into technical detail in this presentation, starting with a brief overview of IPVS and why it’s useful. We will then descend into the requirements surrounding L2 adjacency and why ARP is your frenemy. We’ll discuss how we addressed the challenges of running IPVS internal to Kubernetes, including IPVS master and backend co-location.

Finally, we'll highlight how port forwarding is not possible using IPVS in direct-reply mode, and then discuss how Kube2IPVS manages iptables rules to route packets directly into Kubernetes service chains, effectively bypassing this restriction.

We expect to have Kube2IPVS open-sourced in 2017.

K8SNIff - End-to-End Encryption Till the Pod [A] - Sebastian Scheele & Jason Murray, Loodse GmbH

When running Kubernetes on Kubernetes, in order to ensure end-to-end encryption, we were confronted with the challenge to route TLS traffic directly to the pods. With one ingress only per cluster, that was not possible with the existing solutions.

To solve this problem, we created K8SNIff as an open source project on github: https://github.com/kubermatic/k8sniff. K8SNIff is a small ingress server that will accept incoming TLS connections, and parse TLS Client Hello messages for the SNI Extension. If one is found, K8Sniff will forward that connection to the pod.

In this talk, participants will learn how easy it is to implement your own logic on top of the Kubernetes API. Moreover, we will give practical examples for the use of K8SNIff.

KubeVirt - Kubernetes, Virtualization and Your Future Data Center [I] - Itamar Heim & Fabian Deutsch, Red Hat

Kubernetes is a great orchestration tool for containers, but why stop there? Containers and virtual machines are going to co-exist in the data center. Let’s re-envision our virtualization and cloud solutions with Kubernetes as a single underlying platform.

We’ll introduce KubeVirt - a project to converge the future data center using Kubernetes as its infrastructure. We will cover how we are implementing a caring and stateful environment to run pet VMs in containers on top of Kubernetes - without contradicting its core assumptions. We will also be discussing gaps and how we plan to tackle those, drawing on our experience with KVM and and caring for pet VMs (and cats) for many years. The session will also include a demo of how we are doing this today and where we want to go next.

Kubernetes Day 2: Cluster Operations [I] - Brandon Philips, CoreOS

How do you keep a Kubernetes cluster running long term? Just like any other service, you need a combination of monitoring, alerting, backup, upgrade, and infrastructure management strategies to make it happen. This talk will walk through and demonstrate the best practices for each of these questions and show off the latest tooling that makes it possible. The takeaway will be lessons and considerations that will influence the way you operate your own Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes Operators: Managing Complex Software with Software [I] - Josh Wood, CoreOS & Jesus Carrillo, Ticketmaster


The Kubernetes container orchestrator scales and connects stateless applications quite easily. Stateful applications can require more work. Databases, caching systems, and file stores are harder to dynamically manage with data intact, and sometimes come with their own notion of clustering. Operators automate these tasks. Operators are Kubernetes agents that know how to deploy, scale, manage, and even upgrade complex applications.

In this talk, we'll illustrate the Operator concept, showing how Operators are built atop the Kubernetes third-party resources mechanism, with a close examination of the open source etcd Operator. We'll demonstrate Operators in action, including the extension of the Operator concept to upgrading Kubernetes control plane components themselves. The audience will learn how to deploy Operators, and how to begin developing Operators to manage their own stateful applications.

Kubernetes Scheduling Features or How Can I Make the System Do What I Want? [I] - Marek Grabowski & Wojciech Tyczynski, Google

Each user has her own set of requirements and constraints on where their Pods should be placed in a cluster. Some want to increase utilization, thus they want to pack Pods as densely as possible. Other want to maximize reliability, so they spread the Pods as thinly as they can.

Another one may have Pods that interfere with each other, e.g. by writing a lot to a local disk and don't want to put those on a single Node.

During this talk I'll tell what features are present in the default Kubernetes scheduler that can help you to accomplish all those things and more.

Kubernetes-Defined Monitoring [I] - Gianluca Borello, Sysdig

Over the past few years we’ve all learned how Kubernetes can dramatically change the process of deploying an application, improve reliability, and accelerate operations. As Kubernetes matures, I believe it will have ripple effects on other elements of DevOps, including monitoring.

In this talk, we’ll explore the question, “What if Kubernetes also defined and automated monitoring?” We’ll explore some of the available tooling to answer questions like:

*What are the right ways to instrument Kubernetes minons & pods?
*How do you effectively get visibility into aggregate microservices vs just containers?
*How can Kubernetes automate the act of setting up monitoring dashboards and alerts?
*How can teams use Kubernetes to allow them to isolate monitoring data more effectively, so that the right data is exposed only to the right people?

This will be a demo-driven session, based on a real Kubernetes environment, using a variety of tools at our disposal. Attendees should have a basic understanding of Kubernetes deployments as well as monitoring requirements.

Kubernetes: Developing on Windows, Deploying on Linux [B] - Rodrigue Cloutier, Ubisoft

The Kubernetes community and tooling is currently oriented towards POSIX systems.
For various reasons, many developers still need to run a development environment on Windows, while deploying actual services in a Linux environment.
This talk is based on what we've learned while developing the next online platform for Ubisoft's flagship games.
It will cover the current state of tooling when working in a mixed environment, and some of the practices we've developed to work effectively with the current generation of tools such as minikube and Helm.
We will also explore what can be learned about how these and future tools can be better adapted to support developers working in these mixed environments.

Topics covered include:
- Current state of the Kubernetes tooling in mixed environments
- Using POSIX tooling within "native" Windows shells
- Current virtualization technologies caveats and proper usage
- Best practices for developing mixed-environment aware tools

Lessons Learned From Maintaining Continuous Delivery While Migrating From a Static Infrastructure to Kubernetes [B] - Audun Fauchald Strand & Øyvind Ingebrigtsen Øvergaard, FINN.no / Schibsted

Finn.no is Norway's largest website. Whilst running on static infrastructure, we support 300 microservices, 1400 deploys a week, and 6 minutes from git push to production. But our platform didn't meet the demands of our developers. So we started to migrate our platform from static servers to a dynamic approach, both on premise and in the cloud. We are not yet done with that process, but we have learned a lot. We want to share these learnings with you

The talk will maintain the following parts:
- Introduction to FINN, and its legacy infrastructure
- How we set up kubernetes, and how this has changed in the last 6 months
- On-premise vs GKE
- Tools we made for easier deployment and migration
- FIAAS (Tool for deploying apps with a minimal config for each app)
- HA proxy ingress controller for migrating app traffic
- How to integrate Prometheus and Kubernetes for painfree metrics Experiences
- Migrating apps are difficult
- Kubernetes is complex
- Developers like to make apps quickly
- Monitoring is everything

Load Testing Kubernetes: How to Optimize Your Cluster Resource Allocation in Production [I] - Harrison Harnisch, Buffer

So you've carefully crafted your first Kubernetes service, and you're ready to deploy it to production. Well, not quite: there are still some important unknowns to understand before your service will be ready for production traffic. It's still unclear how the new service behaves when it's being pushed, and it's possible that Kubernetes will kill the service before serving a single request. At Buffer, we've developed a technique to optimize Kubernetes deployment limits by using load testing to identify optimal values for resource limits. When the service is under heavy load there are a few key metrics to watch to identify bottlenecks. These key metrics can be used to adjust resource limits. This real world approach allowed us to safely and efficiently switch over more than half our production traffic to our Kubernetes cluster and can be applied to any application.

This talk will include a live demo of how to tune Hashicorp's Consul application using methods we do at Buffer.

Loki: An OpenSource Zipkin / Prometheus Mashup, Written in Go [I] - Tom Wilkie, Weaveworks

In this talk I'll present a prototype OpenTracing implementation dubbed "Loki". Loki is a Zipkin-compatible distributed tracer written in Go. Unlike Zipkin, Loki pulls traces from the application under examination by reusing Prometheus' service discovery and scraping code. This presents some unique advantages over traditional distributed tracers as the tracer knows the identify of the services under examination, and helps present a consistent naming topology when used with Prometheus.

Managing Lifecycle of Microservices at Scale [I] - Micheal Benedict, Pinterest

(This is an extended presentation of my lightning talk on "Managing micro-services at scale" from KubeCon/CloudNativeCon 2016 - https://youtu.be/Q1CEgPw7CG8)

As more organizations transition from a monolith to a more micro-services architecture, organizations are finding significant challenges around governance and lifecycle management of micro-services.
For example, how often have you (developer, ops, leadership) have asked one or more of the following questions?

1. What does it take to create and manage a new micro service? (Metadata Management, governance)
2. How do we identify a micro services canonically across infrastructure/platform services? (Identity)
3. How do we allocate resources for a micro service? (Resource provisioning)
4. What does it take to operate a micro service? (Deploy pipelines, orchestration, monitoring)
5. How do we measure resource utilization and cost of operating a micro service? (Metering and Chargeback)

These questions persist independent of an organization's container strategy or public/private cloud strategy.

Through this talk, I will deep dive further into the above challenges, the impact and share details on the need for a governance system that manages the lifecycle of micro-services. The talk will focus on the following areas:

1.Metadata Management (project info, team ownership info, operational info such as dashboards, alerts)
2. Identity Management (canonical service identifiers, secrets provisioning, distribution and management)
3. Resource Management (provisioning of primitive resources such as CPU, MEM or abstract resources such as RPS)
4. Metering and Chargeback

At the end of the talk, I'll share case studies from Twitter and Pinterest on how they implemented portions of these systems and its impact.

About Micheal Benedict

OpenTracing Isn't Just Tracing: Measure Twice, Instrument Once [B] - Priyanka Sharma & Ted Young, LightStep

Those building microservices at scale understand the role and importance of distributed tracing: it’s the most direct way to understand how and why a system is misbehaving. However, often this information has been hard to procure, given the challenges of explicit instrumentation, and once obtained, it is siloed from other relevant data such as logging and other monitoring.

The OpenTracing project provides a standard, portable API for distributed tracing instrumentation and changes that. In this talk, Priyanka and Ted will begin by describing OpenTracing and explaining why anyone who monitors microservices should care about it. Having laid that groundwork, the talk will step back to examine the historical role of operational logging and metrics in distributed system monitoring, then illustrate how the OpenTracing API maps to these tried-and-true abstractions. There will also be a demo involving donuts, distributed traces, and prometheus monitoring (all via OpenTracing).

About Ted Young
Ted has spent the last 15 years building distributed systems in a variety of environments: computer animation pipelines for VFX, national elections, and elastic compute platforms. Previously, he helped design the Diego Container Runtime for Cloud Foundry. Currently focused on OpenTracing and tools for root cause analysis.

OpenTracing and Containers: Depth, Breadth, and the Future of Tracing [I] - Priyanka Sharma & Ted Young, LightStep

Those building microservices at scale understand the role and importance of distributed tracing: it’s the most direct way to understand how and why a system is misbehaving. But distributed tracing has long harbored a dirty secret: the source code instrumentation can been complex, fragile, expensive, and difficult to maintain.

The OpenTracing project addresses that integration problem through standardization and collaborations with other open-source software systems. In this talk, Ted will begin by describing OpenTracing and explaining why you should care about it. He will then show how OpenTracing will be able to deliver zero-touch, black-box instrumentation of distributed applications via orchestration systems like Kubernetes, and why that could change the way we all reason about distributed computation.

Panel: The Open Container Initiative (OCI) and the Future of Container Standardization [I] - Moderated by Chris Aniszczyk, Linux Foundation

With the proliferation and rapid growth of container-based solutions over the past few years-- including container-based solutions from almost all major IT vendors and cloud providers as well as emerging start-ups-- the industry needed a standard on which to support container formats and runtime. Enter the Open Container Initiative (OCI), established to help promote a set of common, minimal open standards and specifications around container formats and runtime. Setting a baseline de facto standard, OCI will soon release version 1.0 of its runtime and image format specifications, now ready to look at what’s next for the future of container standardization and distribution. Hear from OCI members who are experts in container technology as they discuss the project’s progress at large with special focus on what’s coming next after the v1.0 release and certification program launch. Additional discussion topics will include:

How the runtime and image format specs are driving broader innovation
The impact the v1.0 release will have on the container landscape
Implementations and use cases
Value and benefits of the certification program and what that means for container standards
Future plans for the OCI

Programming Kubernetes with the Go SDK [I] - Aaron Schlesinger, Deis

Most people talk to their Kubernetes clusters using the kubectl tool, but we’re seeing more and more cases where engineers are writing their own software to talk to the Kubernetes API itself. The use cases for doing so are many: writing ingress controllers, managing pods and watching logs to name a few.

At Deis, we’re using the Kubernetes Go SDK for quite a few different purposes. We first started by vendoring in the Kubernetes mono-repo to watch pod events. We pushed our code to production and quickly learned all about Kubernetes event stream internals and the server-side event cache. When we got something working reliably, we expanded our usage of this client code to a few other domains. We later migrated to the the client-go package when it was released and now use it in almost all of our projects and infrastructure.

In this talk, we’ll share our use cases and detail what we’ve learned using client-go in production. We’ll also share some best practices and show a demo to illustrate how you can get started with the client yourself.

Scaling Organizations Using Kubernetes [I] - Richard Fliam, Comcast VIPER

Kubernetes enables us to build software that spans hundreds or thousands of machines in a simple manner. Often overlooked, but just as critical, is that Kubernetes can enable us to build software that scales across hundreds of developers. Kubernetes can enable us to scale organizations.

If you have gone from 5 to 250 people in 5 years like Comcast VIPER serious challenges will arise in deploying, monitoring, debugging, and preventing outages. The default solution for these challenges is process. However, with appropriate tooling and leveraging the underlying API’s of Kubernetes it is possible to automate much of this process. We can lighten the burden of developing large, multi component features and services. We will explore the steps VIPER is taking to leverage Kubernetes to effectively scale our organization.

Sched.net: A Network-Aware Kubernetes Scheduler [I] - Akash Gangil & Salvatore Orlando, VMware

Different workloads have different optimal scheduling requirements. For instance, a video streaming microservice would need higher network bandwidth than a microservice running the codec. Kubernetes exposes an interface to build a custom scheduler. In this talk, we will show how better scheduling decisions can be made with information about the network topology. The scheduler would make pod scheduling decisions as a function of network health, in addition to other resources like cpu and memory predicates used by the default scheduler.

The talk would highlight:
* How kubernetes empowers the users to build their own custom scheduler and challenges that come along with it.
* Why we needed sched.net over the current default scheduler?
* Demonstrate how better scheduling decisions can be made, if the scheduler is also aware of the current network state with a simple demo described below.

Demo setup would consist of kubernetes with OVN as a networking backend using the ovn-kubernetes plugin. It provides a well defined translation between Kubernetes and OVN logical network abstractions. Ex: namespace → logical switch, pod → logical switch port. Sched.net would be implemented by adding a predicate function which would determine “network health” from information gathered from OVN controller.

About Akash Gangil
Akash is currently a Sr. Software Engineer at Uhana. Previously, he was a software engineer at Networking and Security Business Unit at VMware.

About Salvatore Orlando
Salvatore used to be very involved with Openstack Networking. He actually implemented the first version of the Neutron API, then called Quantum. It was so good it had to be re-done from scratch. At some point he decided he made enough damage and left. After spending some time picking colors for painting bike sheds - and shaving yaks - he decided to turn his attention to Kubernetes.

However, Salvatore is not only known for his wild commits. He is also famous for his pedant reviews; they're so boring and full of pointless comments that they are being used in a clinical trial for a treatment for insomnia. Salvatore is currently employed at VMware, who joined through Nicira.

Serverless on Kubernetes with Kubeless [A] - Sebastien Goasguen, Bitnami & Nguyen Anh-Tu, Skippbox

Serverless is getting lots of attention lately. It is positioned as the next evolution for building distributed applications, going beyond container based systems and letting developers build applications workflows based on triggers and events. The three main public clouds (GCP, Azure and AWS) all have serverless offerings. In this talk we will introduce kubeless, a serverless framework built on top of Kubernetes. It allows Kubernetes users to define functions that are dynamically injected in container runtimes and exposed via HTTP or event triggers. Events are managed by Apache Kafka while HTTP triggers are exposed with Kubernetes services. It is an open source clone of Google cloud functions, and provide similar capabilities than AWS lambda. We will explain kubeless architecture, show how we leverage ThirdPartyResources and an in-cluster controller. Above the interest of serverless, this architecture shows the power of Kubernetes and how it can be used as a platform to build new systems quickly.

Simplifying Container Operations with Habitat [B] - Michael Ducy, Chef

Container Orchestration Systems make for a great operational experience for deploying and management of containers. But that’s only part of the story when running containers in production. How do you build containers that contain only what you need (like no build systems/tools)? How do you orchestrate configuration of your application after the containers have been launched? How do you make it easy to modify an application config while keeping the containers immutable? How can you give your developers a means to declare dependencies for their applications?

Habitat, our open-source project for application automation, simplifies container management by packaging applications in a compact, atomic, and easily auditable format that makes it easier to deploy your application on various container runtimes

Success of CRI: Bringing Hypervisor Based Container to Kubernetes [I] - Lei Zhang, HyperHQ

CRI, aka Container Runtime Interface, is the new mechanism designed to plug any container runtime in Kubernetes. In this presentation, I will introduce how we introduce the hypervisor based container into Kubernetes as native container runtime by using CRI. And enables users to serve their customers directly with virtualized containers, instead of wrapping them inside of full blown VMs. CRI design principles and implementation details will be explained. As well as the essential differences between Kubernetes and other projects like SwarmKit and how hyper.sh made the choice. Today, many developers are not comfortable with Linux containers as an effective boundary, and requires for a stronger degree of isolation, particularly for those running in a multi-tenant environment. We believe HyperContainer with Kubernetes is one of the best answers.

Super Fast Real-time Data Processing on Cloud-Native Architecture [I] - Yaron Haviv, iguazio

While Cloud-Native architecture allows for elastic scaling and much simpler operation, it usually adds opinionated abstractions which may hinder performance or lead to implementation challenges.

This presentation will go over iguazio’s use-case for building an extremely high-performance, real-time data processing platform on the foundations of a cloud-native architecture and its 12 factors.

I will explain how we overcome networking and storage challenges of existing micro-services technologies to process data at the rate of 100Gb/s per node; address data persistency and affinity challenges; implement elastic “server-less” functions; integrate with outbound networking; and use hardware acceleration.

The session will also cover the tradeoffs and challenges we observed in working with Kubernetes, Swarm, and DC/OS, and then explain how they are addresses.

For background you can read my post in: https://thenewstack.io/hackers-guide-kubernetes-networking/

Understanding and Extending Prometheus AlertManager [I] - Lee Calcote, SolarWinds

The AlertManager component handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server, carefully de-duplicating, correlating, and routing their notifications to their appropriate receiver (e.g. email, webhook, etc.). Current behavior of this component is only to display actively firing alerts.

Contributing to Prometheus is no different than most other open source endeavors, which, like many projects, welcomes community contributions. Let’s gain better familiarity with the process by augmenting Prometheus’ AlertManager with a new “history” view.

What Cloud Computing Can Learn from Neuroscience: How the Brain Architects 'Cloud Applications' [I] - David Flanders, University of Melbourne, Australia

"The wisest and noblest teacher is nature... one who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards the ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where one may cast." (Leonardo da Vinci).

All great science begins in nature, and it is often this simple metaphor we forget about when attempting to explain the code we want to spend months (if not years) building for our users.

This presentation asks a simple question: what can cloud computing learn from the architecture of the brain (neuroscience). An overview of recent neuroscience will be provided as a metaphor for how we build cloud applications. Like any good scientific theory it will ask more questions than provide answers.

When Failure is Not an Option: Processing Real Money at Monzo with Kubernetes and Linkerd [I] - Oliver Gould, Buoyant & Oliver Beattie, Monzo

In this talk, we describe how Monzo processes financial transactions involving real money and real people in way that's safe, secure, and resilient. We show how combining Kubernetes with Linkerd creates a highly adaptive system, where Kubernetes provides a baseline level of protection against hardware and software failures and Linkerd layers on request-level resilience, including including latency-aware load-balancing, intelligent retries, and service-level measures of success rates and latency. We show how the resulting system is resilient to a wide variety of failures and protects the financial transactions that flow through it from failure, yet still allows for a rapid pace of feature development and iteration.

Writing a Custom Controller: Extending the Functionality of Your Cluster [I] - Aaron Levy, CoreOS

Much of the functionality in a Kubernetes cluster is managed by a reconciliation pattern within "controllers". The node, service, or deployment controllers (just to name a few) watch for changes to objects, then act on those changes to drive your cluster to a desired state. This same pattern can be used to implement custom logic, which can be used to extend the functionality of your cluster without ever needing to modify Kubernetes itself.

This talk will cover how to implement your own custom controller, from contacting the Kubernetes API to using existing libraries to easily watch, react, and update components in your cluster. By building on existing functionality and following a few best practices, you can quickly and easily implement your own custom controller.

Keynote: Building the Infrastructure that Powers the Future of AI - Vicki Cheung, Member of Technical Staff & Jonas Schneider, Member of Technical Staff, OpenAI

OpenAI is a non-profit research company that does cutting-edge AI research. Our mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. This means democratizing the technology and releasing our research publicly. As a result, we rely heavily on open-source software. The majority of our experiments run on our Kubernetes cluster that spans Azure, AWS, and our own data center. Kubernetes and Docker have allowed us the flexibility to experiment with various computing frameworks and topologies without paying the infrastructure cost. However, our use cases are distinctly different from the well-supported microservice use case, and we've written custom components on top of Kubernetes to optimize for our work. Some examples include our own autoscaler for batch jobs, a library to deploy distributed Tensorflow jobs, custom scripts to do GPU-scheduling and CPU-affinity, and a variety of internal tools to make Kubernetes friendly to researchers who have no experience in operations. In this talk, we will go over some of the motivations and internals of our customizations, as well as an example of how they all come to work together to accelerate research on the Universe platform.

Keynote: Scaling Kubernetes: How do we grow the *Kubernetes* user base by 10x? - Joe Beda, CTO, Heptio

Kubernetes is great. We wouldn't be here otherwise. But Kubernetes also requires too much cognitive overhead for many users that just want to get things done.

In this talk we lay out a roadmap and start a discussion about fundamentally expanding the appeal and user base of Kubernetes. How can we grow the number of users by 10x over the next year?

We look at this from multiple angles: cluster operators vs cluster users, large cluster and small clusters, enterprise developers and small independent people, experienced vs new technologists, fundamental simplifications vs sanding rough edges.

Keynote: The Kubernetes Application Registry: Easily Deploying Complex Applications with CoreOS Quay - Brandon Philips, CTO, CoreOS

CoreOS has extended its container image registry, Quay, so that it can manage and store complete Kubernetes applications, which are composed of images along with configuration files. Quay now delivers a first-of-its-kind Kubernetes Application Registry that with this release is also integrated with Kubernetes Helm so that deployment of an application can be completely automated.

Over the past few months, the Quay team has been laying the foundation for the first Kubernetes Application Registry. On the server side, we’ve added an experimental registry API to Quay and a minimal UI enabling the storage, discovery, and management of complete applications. On the client side, we’ve created a registry plugin for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, that brings all of these features to the ecosystem of Helm applications, known as Charts. One of the most interesting new features introduced to both Quay and Helm is the concept of customizable release channels, much like how CoreOS ships Alpha, Beta, and Stable channels for Container Linux releases. All of this is done through a community-driven API specification, called App Registry, that enables Kubernetes ecosystem to develop more sophisticated tools and more reliable deployment pipelines. This ultimately delivers a Kubernetes Application Registry.

Join Brandon Philips to learn about CoreOS Quay and how it works to store containers and applications for Kubernetes, and get involved.

Keynote: Your Philips Hue Light Bulbs Are Turned On By Kubernetes - Mark van Straten, Senior Software Architect, Q42

Philips Hue is one of the leading global Internet of Things platforms and has integrations with Amazon Echo, Google Home, IFTTT & Nest to make your lights work for you. The platform has grown considerably during the past years and to accommodate this has been migrated towards Google Container Engine at the end of 2015.

We needed to find out how to do zero downtime deployments, grasp how scaling works in Kubernetes, provide ourselves with monitoring and logging and above all find out how to do all these things and more while staying agile in the process. Come join me if you want to start using Kubernetes in production but are not sure yet what you are going to be facing.

Lightning Talk: Boosting Helm with AppController - Maciej Kwiek, Mirantis Inc.

Helm is emerging as a standard for Kubernetes application packaging. While researching it we discovered that its orchestration part can be improved. We did just that by injecting AppController right into Helm orchestration engine. This lightning talk is aimed to give users insight into advanced orchestration capabilities that AppController aims to introduce in Helm.

Lightning Talk: Cloud Native Design Patterns - Bilgin Ibryam, Red Hat

The way we design, develop and run applications on Cloud Native platforms differ significantly from other platforms. When working with Kubernetes, there are less concerns for developers to think about, but also there are new patterns and practices for solving every day challenges. In this talk, I’ll look at (very quickly) on a number of patterns and practices which are de facto way of developing Cloud Native applications. More specifically we will look at patterns such as:
-- Creational Design Patterns
-- Automatable Unit
-- Predictable Resource Profile
-- Declarative Deployment
-- Declarative Scheduling
-- Observable Interior
-- Life Cycle Conformance
-- Behavioral Design Patterns
-- Managed SD and LB
-- Managed Batch Jobs
-- Managed Scheduled Jobs
-- Stateful Services
-- Daemon Services
-- Singleton Services

Lightning Talk: Flexible Logging Pipelines with Fluentd and Kubernetes - Jakob Karalus, codecentric

Log forwarding from containers in kubernetes with fluentd works like a charm. But most applications require more than just forwarding, various applications require different parsing patterns, outputs, formats etc. Managing these in a large multi tenant cluster can be challenging and usually require an additional shared forwarding/parsing infrastructure. Otherwise manual configuration changes by a cluster operator are needed. Both ways can be problematic when many different teams share the same cluster.

In this Lighting Talk attendees will learn how to leverage the tools to automatically load specifications/grok patterns from kubernetes at runtime. This leads developers to define those on their own in their pod definition without the existence of a cluster operator or an extra infrastructure. Because of this new possibility the developer gains more flexibility in his application without the necessity to coordinate with cluster operators or other teams.

About Jakob Karalus
Jakob is a IT-Consultant at codecentric focussing on DevOps. His main interest is to play with exciting and evolving technologies around orchestration and automation. Currently he helps a large Enterprise as a cluster operator at running a multi tenant kubernetes cluster with supporting infrastructure like logging and monitoring.
