The challenges of securing and governing communication between services running in multiple clusters or different infrastructure can be addressed through the use of service mesh and gateway API solutions in a distributed, heterogeneous environment.
  • The shift from data centers on premises to cloud and multi-cloud and hybrid environment has created new challenges in securing and governing communication between services
  • Service mesh and gateway API solutions provide a way to address these challenges by offering a shared trust anchor, identity framework, and policies for selective communication
  • Examples of service mesh solutions include Linker D and Istio, while Kubernetes Gateway API offers a portable solution for multi-cluster communication

The presentation discusses the use of MicroVMs and the Liquid Metal project for a more performant and cost-effective CI model.
  • MicroVMs are smaller VMs that are tailored for a specific need, resulting in almost the same speed as containers with the security of regular VMs.
  • The Liquid Metal project is a set of tools to declaratively provision Kubernetes clusters on lightweight MicroVMs.
  • The project is comprised of four components: Flintlock, Firecracker, Ignite, and Cortex.
  • The use of MicroVMs and the Liquid Metal project can reduce overall cost, improve build times, and provide a more secure environment.
  • The presenter demoed the Liquid Metal project on a Raspberry Pi cluster.
  • The presenter faced network issues during the demo, but was able to resolve them with the help of AV staff.

Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) are a massive onramp for new people to the cloud native community and a great way to have non-code contributions to the community. This talk by KCD core organizers past and present will show the impact of the program on the community and how to get started or involved. In 2021, the program connected over 7,500 attendees across 12 countries in six languages to cloud native. It also had contributor summits, student days, and hands on workshops. By attending, the audience will learn what a KCD is, how the program works, how to avoid the perils and pitfalls of planning a community event, and what their community will get out of a KCD. Audience members will leave inspired to start or get involved in a KCD in their own region.
