6 End Users and What They Love about Cloud Native - Cheryl Hung, Vice President, Ecosystem, Cloud Native Computing Foundation
A
Up,
I'm
cheryl
hung
and
it
is
magical
to
be
back
for
my
11th
coupon
cloud
native
con.
What
excites
me
and
keeps
me
coming
back
is
seeing
people
discover
cloud
native
for
the
first
time,
grow
their
careers
and
transform
into
community
and
industry
leaders
who
then
bring
on
the
next
generation
of
cloud.
Natives
going
virtual
has
expanded
kubecon
to
people
who
could
never
have
dreamed
of
attending
previously.
A
Each
year,
the
cncf
end
user
community
votes
to
award
one
member,
the
cncf
top
end
user
award.
Previous
winners
included
zolando,
intuit,
bloomberg,
jd.com
and
didi
this
year.
I'm
not
only
announcing
the
winner,
but
I've
invited
all
of
the
nominees
to
share
their
cloud
native
journey
with
you
and
what
the
community
means
to
them.
A
But
before
we
find
out
the
winner,
I
want
to
have
a
little
bit
of
fun,
kubecon
style,
I'm
going
to
challenge
you
to
solve
a
small
problem
in
the
style
of
the
cks
or
certified
kubernetes
security.
Specialist
exam
at
the
end
I'll
reveal
the
solution
and
that
solution
will
reveal
the
winner
of
the
cncf
top
end
user
2021.
A
So
I'm
going
to
go
over
to
the
laptop
if
you've
taken
the
cka,
ckd
or
cks
certifications.
This
is
going
to
look
really
familiar,
so
I'm
in
the
linux
foundation
exam
portal,
on
the
left
hand
side.
I
have
the
task
that
we're
going
to
do
today
and
on
the
right
hand,
side.
I
have
a
terminal
which
links
to
a
live
cluster.
A
A
So
the
first
task
is
to
retrieve
the
content
of
the
existing
secret
named
credentials
in
the
demo
namespace,
and
I'm
going
to
do
that
just
to
look
at
that
cool,
okay,
I've
seen
that
we
have
a
credentials
secret
and
credentials
encodes
the
name
of
the
winner
of
the
top
end
user
award.
So
when
we
find
out
the
solution
to
this,
we'll
also
find
out
the
winner
of
the
award
itself.
A
I'm
gonna
pause
there
and
I'm
gonna
ask
you:
what
would
you
do
in
this
situation
so
head
over
to
slack,
discuss
it
with
other
people
and
we'll
find
out
the
solution
at
the
end?
Okay
time
to
bring
on
our
nominees
to
introduce
themselves,
we
have
one
on
one:
mail
and
media
apple
cern,
fidelity,
spotify
and
verizon
media.

Hello,
cubecon
and
cloudnativecon-
I
am
stefan
from
one-on-one
mailing
media
in
germany.
You
may
not
have
heard
of
us
ever
before,
but
probably
you
do
know
one
of
our
brands,
webde
gmx
or
mail.com.
With
these
brands
we
are
germany's
biggest
email
provider,
more
than
40
million
monthly
active
users
trust
our
free
email
services.
Additionally,
we
offer
further
services
for
personal
information
management,
identity
management,
cloud-based
file,
storage
and
news
portals.

Hi,
I'm
mooji
gohar
from
verizon
media,
as
well
as
a
media
group.
Our
brands
like
yahoo
techcrunch
riot
and
many
more
help
people
stay
informed
and
entertained,
communicate
and
transact,
while
creating
new
ways
for
our
advertisers
and
partners
to
connect
with
with
technologies
like
xr,
ai
machine
learning
and
5g.
We
are
transforming
media
for
tomorrow,
too.

The
clusters
are
managed
and
operated
centrally
by
a
dedicated
and
highly
skilled
team
of
specialists.
Access
to
the
kubernetes
clusters
is
provided
by
a
multi-tenancy
setup.
This
provides
easy
but
still
isolated,
on-demand
provisioning,
dynamic,
auto
scaling
and
efficient
usage
of
available
resources.
B
The
tight
integration
with
our
ci
cd
system
makes
kubernetes
an
attractive
default
platform
for
running
our
applications.
This
relieves
the
application
devops
teams
from
tedious
and
repetitive
tasks,
so
they
can
fully
focus
on
providing
business
value.
Instead,
the
core
elements
of
our
platform
are
cncf
projects
like
kubernetes
lcd,
container
d,
prometheus
and
open
policy
agent,
core
dns,
helm
and
fluentd,
and
from
the
surrounding
ecosystem.
We
happily
use
traffic,
istio,
flatcar,
linux,
calico,
gitlab
and
grafana.
C
C
D
One
of
our
main
challenges
is
to
make
sure
that
we
can
keep
up
with
the
needs
of
our
physicists
as
they
produce
larger
and
larger
experiments.
This
means
that
we
are
always
searching
for
new
technologies
and
kubernetes,
and
the
cloud
native
ecosystem
and
projects
like
kubernetes,
but
also
prometheus
core
dns,
fluency
container
d
and
many
others
have
made
a
huge
impact
by
simplifying
our
infrastructure
and
letting
us
focus
on
on
the
physics
analysis
itself.
E
Cncf
is
allowing
us
to
collaborate
and
to
help
building.
This
unique
solution
indeed
shape
the
strategy
for
fidelity
and
for
multi-cloud
strategy
for
all
of
our
application,
workloads
between
using
corporaties
between
the
innovation
ideas
around
envoy
and
service
mesh
between
the
open,
telemetry
solutions
that
being
provided
by
cncf.

On
kubernetes,
we
are
operating
on
150
clusters
running
over
2800
services
across
all
stages
of
our
software
life
cycle.
We
have
multi-tenant
clusters
running
many
different
types
of
workloads,
including
ml
jobs,
media
transcoding
data
pipeline
orchestration
and
high
scale.
Back-End
services
using
kubernetes,
has
significantly
reduced
our
cost
and
increase
our
overall
velocity.
I
Additionally,
we
had
our
own
in-house
on-prem
homegrown
solution
of
pushing
and
deploying
code.
It
was
very,
very
painful
and
took
a
long
time
when
we
decided
to
move
towards
immutable
infrastructure
and
condensation.
We
evaluated
number
of
orchestration
solutions
and
we
picked
kubernetes.
It
was
outstanding
for
its
futures.
I
Today
we
have
one
of
the
largest
kubernetes
on-prem
cluster,
with
over
2500
plus
applications,
34
plus
production
clusters
running
in
seven
data,
centers
and
8
000,
plus
no
cluster
by
moving
service
into
containers
and
using
kubernetes
as
an
orchestration
platform,
helped
us
to
reduce
duplication,
standardize.
The
way
we
build
and
deploy
code
today
and
also
increased
our
custom
utilization
and
to
add
increase
our
product
velocity
and
developer
productivity.
B
Melon
media
joined
the
cncf
in
the
beginning
of
2020
as
an
end
user
supporter.
Since
then,
we
are
regularly
participating
at
the
bi-weekly
community
meetings,
usually
with
at
least
two
people.
In
this
meeting
series,
we
already
had
multiple
opportunities
to
share
our
experience
and
knowledge
in
short
presentations
and,
of
course,
we
regularly
engage
in
the
discussions.
B
Additionally,
we
host
local
meetups
and
also
speak
at
conferences
like
devop
con
container
dates
in
hamburg
and,
of
course,
also
at
cubecon,
where
we
could
enter
the
stage
in
2019
in
barcelona
and
at
least
virtually
last
year
on
the
more
technical
side.
We
also
involve
ourselves
in
many
products.
We
use,
at
least
by
reporting
issues
we
find
or
adding
more
data
to
existing
bug
reports.
C
Apple
joined
the
cncf
in
2019.
As
an
end
user
supporter,
we
actively
participate
as
speakers
and
attendees
at
community
events
like
kubecon
and
even
shared
our
story
in
a
keynote
at
cubecon
north
america.
Last
year,
apple
employees
serve
on
committees
and
boards.
Throughout
the
project,
including
the
cncf
governing
board,
toc
steering
committee
and
release
team.
We
regularly
participate
in
sigs
and
employ
a
number
of
maintainers
and
core
contributors
to
cncf
projects.
E
E
I
believe
that,
with
that
focus,
and
with
that
support,
and
with
that
cost
promotion
between
cncf
and
fidelity,
we
are
sponsoring
many
block
groups
at
this
moment
and
workshops
and
we're
helping
our
colleagues
in
other
financial
services
and
another
service,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
to
help
the
cncf
strategy
next
year
and
to
help
with
the
roadmap
around
companies
and
about
other
projects.
That
cncf
has,
I
truly
believe
it's
small
space
and
it
will
help
fidelity,
as
it
will
help
the
community
as
well.
J
Our
flagship
contribution
in
2020
was
backstage,
which
is
our
open
source
developer
portal,
and
the
response
from
the
community
has
been
nothing
short
of
extraordinary
in
terms
of
adoption.
We
have
24
official
company
adopters,
79
companies
are
building
a
portal,
209
companies
are
interested
in
learning
more,
and
these
numbers
are
growing
rapidly.
K
L
Beyond
coding
projects,
we've
also
been
very
active.
We
have
spotify
employees
wearing
many
different
hats
across
the
ncs,
including
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
developer
experience
sig
in
the
end
user
community
and
one
of
the
end
user
representatives
on
the
cncf
toc.
But
it's
not
just
hats
that
we
wear
for
cncf.
We
wear
lots
of
other
swag
too,
including
ambassador
crowns
program
committee,
pins
and,
of
course,
the
endless
amount
of
great
t-shirts
for
different
roles
that
we
have
for
cncf
we've.
G
There
are
many
reasons
we
love
being
part
of
a
cncf
end
user
community.
As
a
company
giving
back
to
the
open
source
community
herself
has
been
very
important
to
us.
We
have
made
upstream
kubernetes
contribution
in
the
form
of
issues
and
pull
requests
specifically
for
on
y
and
oppa.
We
also
open
source
several
kubernetes
focus
projects.
We
also
built
and
open
sourced
a
certificate
based
authentication
and
authorization
system
athens
to
implement
zero
test
security
principle
in
the
platform.
A
A
A
A
And
then
our
third
step
was
to
use
secrets
to
decrypt
the
winner
field
and
they've,
just
given
the
entire
command
here.
So
what
happens?
If
I
try?
This
okay
looks
like
we
screwed
up
somewhere
because
the
key
doesn't
match,
but
the
key
doesn't
match,
because
we
forgot
that
kubernetes
secrets
are
base64
encoded
already
by
default,
which
means
that
there
are
actually
two
layers
of
encryption
to
deal
with
here.
We
have
to
decrypt
the
base64,
and
then
we
also
have
to
decrypt
with
a
password,
but
we
can
fix
this.
A
A
And
it's
spotify!
So
congratulations
to
spotify!
Congratulations
to
you!
Two!
If
you
are
following
along
and
if
you
got
the
solution,
spotify
have
been
an
amazing
member
of
our
community.
They've
contributed
so
much
through
the
projects
through
donating
their
own
project
through
the
toc
and
the
different
community
groups,
and
I'd
really
like
to
thank
them
and
welcome
them
back
on
again
to
say
a
few
words.
L
Wow,
I
can't
believe
we
won.
Thank
you
so
much
thanks
to
all
the
end
user
companies
that
voted
for
us
and
thanks
to
all
the
companies
that
submitted
nominations,
we
were
truly
humbled
and
really
inspired
to
read
the
other
nominations
and
still
really
can't
believe
that
we
went
out
over
them
thanks
again
to
everyone
at
cncf
and
everyone
in
this
community
at
spotify.
