Updates To The KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Maintainer Track

When we started offering the maintainer track over four years ago at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Seattle in 2018, it was a very exciting but small part of our events. Since then, our maintainer track (and the total number of maintainers) has grown exponentially!As a result of this significant growth, exciting updates are being made in collaboration with the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon co-chairs in order to continue driving diversity and inclusion across our community. Starting with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023, two important changes will be made to the maintainer track: The maintainer tracks will now mirror the same gender diversity…

The telecommunications industry is the backbone of today’s increasingly-digital economies, but it faces a difficult new challenge in evolving to meet modern infrastructure practices. How did telecommunications get itself into this situation? Because the risks of incidents or downtime are so severe, the industry has focused almost exclusively on system designs that minimize risk and maximize reliability. That’s fantastic for mission-critical services, whether public air traffic control or private high-speed banking, but it emphasizes stability over productivity and the adoption of new technologies that might make their operations more resilient and performant. Telecommunications is playing catch-up on cloud native technology, and…

Hardware-Based Security For Service Mesh Keys

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + Open Source Summit China Virtual sponsor guest post from Eric Adams, Cloud Software Engineer at Intel, and Sakari Poussa, Cloud Solutions Architect at Intel You clicked on this article puzzling, “Isn’t the service mesh already encrypted and secure?” You had configured “mtls: STRICT” and per the documentation mutual TLS communication is the default. Further, you followed all Kubernetes security best practices, including setting up different namespaces, securing the host, and adopting a trustworthy cloud provider. What can go wrong? The privacy of your entire service mesh depends upon the secrecy of its private key, the key used…

Virtual Machines In A Kubernetes World

As attendees of KubeCon know, containers are here to stay. In fact, “Gartner predicts that by 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 30% in 2019.”1 Delivering applications in a timely manner keeps us competitive and relevant to our customer base. To do so many have adopted a container framework to be more quick and efficient. Adapting to new technologies isn’t always easy. Some applications can require access to legacy technologies or massive time and energy to put into building new ones. How do we handle…
