Hi Folks,
I attended and spoke at Kubehuddle on Tuesday here in Toronto. As always it was a fun event and very interesting. Kubernetes events tend to always be deep intellectually so you have to come prepared. I will give a short summary of the tech talks I personally found the most rewarding, not to take away anything from the other talks.
“Ian Crosby A Cloud of Lies” In went through a lot of the misconceptions that people faced when first moving to the cloud and pointed out some major failing points of cloud workloads. He also pointed interestingly to a statistic from a Barclay’s customer report that Michael Dell posted that 83% of business were considering relocating back to on-prem after their debacles in the cloud.
“Hugh Mckee AI is Coming - Now What? Architecting the Future of Software” was fascinating. He advocated that developers get used to AI and compared the backlash against it to the backlash of binary coders when assembly was introduced. He also explained how AI is used with examples. A bit above my mind game but I tried to understand 😀. I will share some of my photos here just to give everyone a taste of the topic
“Stefan Kolesnikowicz Troubleshooting Multi-Region Kubernetes incidents at Achivers” One of the main points was not to forget your Linux skills while doing Kubernetes. At some point during troubleshooting you will have to drop kubectl and head back to bash.
“Geoff Burkes How to stay motivated” Ha, I added this one in order to sooth my ego. Joking aside I liked the audiences response and got over my nerves when I realized just how big the crowd was and forgot to shave!
“Dmitry Shevrin Three common Kubernetes growing pains — and how to solve them” Very interesting Day 2 stuff. Basically it is pretty easy to setup a cluster or many clusters, but the not do fun stuff happens after that when you have to maintain them. In short kubectl won’t work you need to automate!.
“Victor Granic NGINX Ingress Controller as an API Gateway for Kubernetes” I was pretty tired at this point but found the demo really interesting especially.
Those were just a few that I managed to see while juggling work at the same time.
Overall a great experience and made some good new connections in the Kube world!
