[Virtual] OPEN Session: GitHub Actions: Make Them Work for You!

Wednesday February 19, 2025 9:30am - 10:20am PST

Eleftherios Chrysochoidis, Chubb, Lead API Software Engineer

GitHub Actions offer robust and free CI/CD capabilities to streamline your development process. In this presentation, we'll dive into the core components of GitHub Actions and explore how they can be set to work for you by demonstrating various simple and advanced use cases!

GitHub Actions is an ideal tool for any project hosted on GitHub. It provides CI/CD features out of the box and is accessible to everyone without the need for extra infrastructure or setup. The declarative way of creating Actions makes their usage really easy, and its remarkable free layer provides sufficient limits even for big projects.

Especially for Open Source projects, where usually there is more than a single contributor, the need for CI/CD is huge. What will happen if you own an open source project and someone creates a Pull Request with really nice features but adds Security risks in the project (e.g. due to deprecated dependencies) or if they break some of the existing functionality? Would you be able to check all of them on your own? Maybe yes, but it would take much more time compared to having them all checked automatically by utilizing GitHub Actions.

Join me to explore how to make GitHub Actions run faster by utilizing caching mechanisms, build Reports for Testing, Coverage and Security issues and integrate them with any open Pull Request in the community, to have an automated evaluation of the suggested PR and get notifications for them.

[Virtual] OpenAPI Summit: Your Cheat Code for API Authorization

Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

VIRTUAL Dev Exec World

Omri Gazitt, Aserto, Co-founder & CEO

Congrats, your org is all-in on microservices! But now you have hundreds (or thousands!) of APIs. Some power your customer-facing apps. Others are platform services that your front-end services consume. Still others are back-end services used by internal tools.

And ALL of them need to be authorized.

Not to mention, you need to be able to answer questions like “which users are authorized to invoke this endpoint?” and “which endpoints can this user invoke?”

Having each API “do its own thing” makes it all but impossible to wrangle this complexity. You need a cross-cutting solution to apply authorization rules consistently - either in the API code or at the API Gateway.

Enter Aserto: an open source cloud-native authorization service that does this, and more.

This talk provides hands-on learning for how to go from an OpenAPI spec to a fine-grained authorization model, ready to authorize your users, in just a few minutes.

CANCELLED -- [Virtual] OPEN Session: Stateful Workloads Made Easy: A Practical Demo of Live Migration

Wednesday February 19, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

VIRTUAL Cloud Native World

Steven Fraser, CAST AI, Senior Solution Architect

Kubernetes works great for stateless applications, but stateful workloads like databases or long-running jobs pose a challenge. These applications rely on persistent data and can’t afford interruptions, making Kubernetes’ “ephemeral” approach risky. Downtime can lead to data loss, inconsistencies, and system failures.

That’s where live migration comes in, allowing stateful workloads to move between nodes without disruption. At Cast AI, we’ve developed Container Live Migration to automatically consolidate these workloads, ensuring continuous uptime, reducing resource fragmentation, and cutting costs. Join us to see how we’re making Kubernetes work for stateful applications in a practical demo.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Building AI Applications from Your Desktop with Podman AI Lab

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

VIRTUAL Dev Innovation World

Cedric Clyburn, Red Hat, Developer Advocate

Generative AI is revolutionizing how we build modern applications, but for developers, it can be daunting, particularly with evaluating models, building with Gen AI, and the path to production. But, it doesn’t have to be worrisome! Join us in this session to be ahead of the curve when it comes to AI-enabled cloud-native application development.

Using container technology and open source models from Hugging Face, we’ll show how to practically integrate Gen AI in an existing application from your local development environment and ultimately deploy it onto Kubernetes. Why work with local and open-source models? From reducing cloud computing costs, keeping control of your sensitive data, and alleviating vendor-locking, it’s an increasingly popular way for developers to prototype AI applications quickly. We’ll demonstrate a sample of the whole AI journey, starting from assessing models, building applications with LLMs, and deploying/serving AI applications.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Say Goodbye to Toil: Automating Cluster Upgrades

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

OpsWorld Stage

Ben Ryves, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer
Maggie Slukova, GetYourGuide, Staff Site Reliability Engineer

How difficult is it to minimize the toil of cluster upgrades while increasing confidence in deploying the changes?

Even when managed, cluster upgrades are an unavoidable part of cluster maintenance, yet they can also be a source of toil, stress and outages; either when upgrading Kubernetes itself or additional cluster components. Manually testing changes in staging clusters, deploying with a high sense of uncertainty - these time consuming tasks can be mitigated with tests. Add nifty automation and cluster management efforts are reduced to a bare minimum.

Is investing in cluster tests and automation worth it? Yes! This talk shows how a team of three engineers keeps multiple clusters continuously up-to-date with minimal time investment, effort and disruptions. By leveraging the e2e-framework and Helm, everything from Istio to cluster autoscaler is tested and seamlessly managed.
