Blog post: https://next.redhat.com/2021/05/20/deploying-crossplane-providers-with-the-operator-lifecycle-manager/

Abstract: Crossplane is a project that strives to bring cloud infrastructure, services, and applications closer to your Kubernetes cluster in order to create a hybrid control plane. This goal is primarily achieved through the use of providers, which are standalone controllers for a specific API group. The Crossplane project itself manages the lifecycle of these providers, from installation to cleanup. In this briefing, Red Hat's Krish Chowdhary will briefly discuss what providers are, the Crossplane architecture as well as how we can repackage a provider installation via the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM).

Introduction to the Elasticsearch Operator for Kubernetes
Guest Speaker: Peter Brachwitz (Elastic)
Host: Diane Mueller (Red Ha OpenShiftt)
November 23, 2020

The Elasticsearch Operator or ECK is built and maintained by the creators of Elasticsearch, it does a lot more than manage Elasticsearch though. The operator can help you automate the deployment, management and upgrade of Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats and Enterprise Search. Since making the operator generally available in January 2020, we have consistently added value to our customers by releasing new features and partnerships, like the RedHat Certification most recently.

In this Briefing, learn about how the ECK operator can help you automate the Day2 operations if you are running the Elastic Stack and Solutions on Kubernetes.

Introducing Quarkus: a next-generation Kubernetes native Java framework
Guest Speakers: Thomas Qvarnstrom and Jason Greene (Red Hat)

Java was introduced to the open-source community over twenty years ago and to this day, it still remains very popular among developers. In fact, it has never ranked lower than #2 on the TIOBE Index. Java was born in the mid-90s and has nearly twenty years of optimizations for running highly dynamic monolithic applications that assumed sole ownership of (virtualized) host CPU and memory. However, we now live in a world dominated by the cloud, mobile, IoT, and open source, where containers, Kubernetes, microservices, reactive, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), 12-factor, and cloud-native application development can deliver higher levels of productivity and efficiency. As an industry, we need to rethink how Java can be best utilized to address these new deployment environments and application architectures.

We’d like to introduce you to Quarkus and Supersonic Subatomic Java!

Quarkus is a Kubernetes Native Java framework tailored for GraalVM and HotSpot, crafted from best-of-breed Java libraries and standards. The goal of Quarkus is to make Java a leading platform in Kubernetes and serverless environments while offering developers a unified reactive and imperative programming model to optimally address a wider range of distributed application architectures.

Recorded as part of August 17th 2018 Operator Framework SIG

In this briefing, learn if Spinnaker is the right choice for your Continuous Delivery solution for OpenShift deployments. Your developers have adopted containers and microservices applications. You have implemented continuous integration tools like Jenkins. But your software delivery is still slow due to high ceremony release approvals, manual judgment of releases and myriad of scripts to roll-out and roll-back cloud deployments into OpenShift and other clouds. So in essence, you need to modernize your software delivery to meet the increasing demand for speed of innovation from your developers.
What you will learn:

- OpenShift users top requirements for next-generation Continuous Delivery solutions
- Introduction to Spinnaker enterprise CD solution
- Top features and benefits of Spinnaker
- Spinnaker demo - Deploying to OpenShift

Meeting Notes: https://gist.github.com/dmueller2001/502b1237f783e2062ed5c93b7d7174da

In this talk from the OpenShift partner theater at Red Hat Summit 2018, Fred Hsu from Arista discusses how to connect OpenShift clusters using Arista vEOS and Ansible playbooks. Thanks to the programmable nature of EOS and the automation provided by Ansible, pods in an OpenShift cluster can reach services in a remote cluster, without NAT. By retaining the original IP address of the requesting pod, services are aware of exactly what pods are making the requests, improving security and simplifying application deployment. The clusters can be on-prem, public cloud, or hybrid and are connected with GRE or IPSec tunnels.

Learn how to quickly set up a robust monitoring solution for OpenShift using InfluxData. We'll touch on best practices for gathering and storing time series metrics with Telegraf and InfluxDB, visualizing that data using Chronograf, and alerting your team when problems occur using Kapacitor.

How often do you release new versions of your microservices deployed in OpenShift? At Dynatrace, 600+ developers release new features and functionality on a bi-weekly basis. This allows us to match the speed of the cloud and quickly react to this fast-changing technology landscape.

How cool would it be to get this fresh doze of monitoring automatically deployed to your OpenShift clusters?

In this talk, we are going to explore how you can operate your monitoring solution with zero manual effort in large-scale environments. Join this session if you want to learn about best practices for monitoring OpenShift with Dynatrace.

With the transformation towards cloud native platforms such as OpenShift, we are seeing a paradigm shift on how self-sufficient teams develop and deploy applications. Microservice teams leverage built-in platform features to run, scale, rollback and upgrade their app deployments. Monitoring helps them to understand if their apps are performing properly and interacting correctly with other apps in production. But how do they know if poor cluster performance impact application health, and how the overall performance of all apps deployed to a cluster looks? In this talk, we are going to explore how monitoring can be made a platform feature that helps application teams to monitor and maintain application and cluster health. We explain how noisy neighbors may slow down your application’s response time without requiring you to build monitoring into your application images.

In this talk from the OpenShift partner theater at Red Hat Summit 2018, Anthony Farinha and Mike Wiederhold from Couchbase demo the Couchbase Operator in Kubernetes.

The Operator Framework is an open source project that provides developer and runtime Kubernetes tools, enabling you to accelerate the development of an Operator. The Operator Framework includes:

Operator SDK: Enables developers to build Operators based on their expertise without requiring knowledge of Kubernetes API complexities.
Operator Lifecycle Management: Oversees installation, updates, and management of the lifecycle of all of the Operators (and their associated services) running across a Kubernetes cluster.
Operator Metering (joining in the coming months): Enables usage reporting for Operators that provide specialized services.

We believe that the new Operator Framework represents the next big step for Kubernetes by using a baseline of leading practices to help lower the application development barrier on Kubernetes. The project delivers a software development kit (SDK) and the ability to manage app installs and updates by using the lifecycle management mechanism while enabling administrators to exercise Operator capabilities on any Kubernetes cluster.

In this session, Rob Szumski (Red Hat) will give a deep dive into the Operatior Framework and we will have live Q/A afterwards.

Red Hat OpenShift is an amazing, award-winning tool for application developers. It is also a great management tool for operations teams due to its built-in power, flexibility, and scalability. But how can ops teams make the jump from managing OpenShift to running their own workloads effectively?

In this session, we'll cover the features of Red Hat OpenShift that are most important to an ops team when moving workloads to the platform. We'll also go through security best practices and have live examples to discuss.
