Agenda

10:00 to 10:45 AM: Caching container images on K8s worker nodes by Senthil Raja Chermapandian
10:45 to 12:30 PM: Quick and Easy CI/CD pipeline setup on K8s by Abhinav Dubey & Prakarsh

Caching container images on K8s worker nodes

Imagine your Containerized Application experiences a sudden surge in traffic, and it needs to immediately scale out horizontally (i.e., additional instances need to be created). Kubernetes creates additional replicas of Pods. However, these Pods won’t be available for handling the increased traffic, until the required images are pulled, the containers are started and become ready to serve requests. Or assume applications that run on IoT devices, where the network connectivity between the device and image registry would be intermittent.

There are several such use cases that would benefit from caching the container images on your Kubernetes worker nodes. In this workshop, Senthil will present the benefits of caching images, use cases, how easy it is to create and manage the cache using an open-source Kubernetes operator called kube-fledged.

Topics covered:

Use cases for Caching container images
Overview of Kube-fledged
Features
How Kube-fledged works

Q & A

Quick and Easy CI/CD pipeline setup on K8s

Working on Kubernetes requires domain expertise. Does it? The modern architectures are built in a microservice fashion using containerization technologies and are deployed over Kubernetes. According to SlashData reports, there are 5.6 million developers using Kubernetes worldwide, representing 31% of all backend developers. But still, productionizing Kubernetes takes a lot.

In this workshop, Abhinav & Prakarsh will give a hands-on walkthrough on how quickly and easily you can set up your Production-ready Kubernetes-native CI/CD pipelines by integrating the different CloudNative tools like Helm, ArgoCD, Buildpacks, Keda, Prometheus, and many more. They will also highlight the importance of K8s-native Internal Development Platforms that will help developers increase productivity and accelerate the deployment velocity.
