Harnessing Emerging Data-Plane Technologies for Next-Gen Load Balancers - Shatakshi Mishra, Marvell Technology
Wednesday December 11, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
Room 4
Cloud Load Balancers (CLBs) have evolved significantly, now featuring advanced capabilities such as proxying, SSL/TLS termination, and auto-scaling. The underlying data-path technologies have advanced from traditional Linux networking to include eBPF, DPDK, VPP, and P4. Each of these technologies offers unique advantages and trade-offs: eBPF excels in real-time processing but lacks some comprehensive features, DPDK provides high performance with reduced transparency, VPP offers modular packet handling with strong Linux compatibility, and P4-based solutions, while still evolving, promise enhanced flexibility and performance. This session will delve into these data-path technologies, examining their maturity, limitations, and suitability for modern data centers. As specialized hardware units become increasingly integral to large data centers, we will highlight how these units effectively leverage data-path technologies to perform numerous tasks, thereby enhancing overall efficiency.

Wednesday December 11, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
Room 2
Managing hybrid environments with public and private clouds poses significant challenges, especially with disparate interfaces and legacy applications. Our development and QE teams faced difficulties navigating multiple environments—testing private cloud code on private Docker clouds and public cloud code on public resources. Legacy apps, often running on bare metal or metal instances, added complexity. To tackle this, we used Kubernetes and CNCF projects like KubeVirt, CrossPlane, and Longhorn to build a unified hybrid hyper-converged cloud platform. This session will explore how we integrated these technologies to streamline operations. You'll learn about the initial challenges, how KubeVirt enabled virtualization, CrossPlane’s role in multi-cloud management, Longhorn’s storage solutions, and the unification of these components into a cohesive platform.

Is GitOps a Broken Experience - Where Is the Ops in GitOps ? - Rajalakshmi Kamath V, Walmart Global Tech
Wednesday December 11, 2024 2:55pm - 3:30pm IST
Room 5
Imagine the k8s resource model only had “spec” and not the “status”. How operationally challenging would it have been to infer this critical information from out of band approaches? While Gitops frameworks work very well to translate a pre-defined intended state, it fails to provide visibility into the actual state of the system. This entails a need to build tools to improve infrastructure observability. Gitops, also fails to address immediate operational control and recovery in the event of outages and offers a broken experience. Gitops has been the primary developer experience for Walmart running over 200k workloads and 10k deployments per day on 1000s of k8s clusters across public and private cloud. This talk highlights our learnings on building various ops tooling which provides deployment/running state of the workloads to complement our Gitops based deployment pipelines.

From CPU to GPU: Progressive Delivery for Complex ML Deployments - Sumit Jain & Divyansh Saxena, Adobe
Wednesday December 11, 2024 3:45pm - 4:20pm IST
Room 2
Applying modern deployment strategies, such as incremental releases, to complex ML architectures presents unique challenges, including managing resource constraints and ensuring cost efficiency. In the GPU environment, new replicas can take up to an hour to become operational due to extended image pull times. Despite these challenges, implementing advanced deployment strategies is crucial to minimise the impact of faulty versions, much like in traditional CPU workloads. In this session we will present on how to overcome these hurdles in GPU-based workloads. We will: - Start with traditional deployment approaches. - Progressively address advanced scenarios, such as implementing cost-efficient progressive delivery for high CPU-consuming workloads on GPU nodes and orchestrating sequential multi-resource deployments. - Reference our recent experience designing CI/CD for the GenAI applications. - Conclude by sharing cost comparison and best practices for GenAI model deployments.

The Importance of Designing Single-Resource Controllers - Feny Mehta & Francesco Ilario, Red Hat
Wednesday December 11, 2024 3:45pm - 4:20pm IST
Room 4
While anyone working with Kubernetes knows about Controllers and Custom Resources, most don't know that there are many ways of designing a Controller, but just one good practice. That practice is "single resource": your controller should only manage a single resource, instead of having a single controller for multiple resources or multiple controllers for a single resource. This talk guides you on implementation of single-resource Controllers, showcases examples of a well-designed controller and good practice of designing Single-Resource controllers by comparing it with discouraged alternative designs. This talk focuses on practical insights, on aforementioned design’s pros and cons, and how its implementation affects the efficiency of Operators. After the talk, attendees will be able to design and implement single-resource controller, and have a deeper understanding of good practices of designing a kubernetes controller

Tying OpenFeature and OpenTelemetry for Automated Rollouts of New Services - Pranay Prateek & Vibhu Pandey, SigNoz
Wednesday December 11, 2024 3:45pm - 4:20pm IST
Room 5
Rolling out a new service, adding databases clusters, are always challenging. The recommended way is to start with diverting small % of traffic to the new service and increase rollout % if things look well. If things don’t go well, the rollout % should be reduced. This is generally done through feature flags and manually monitoring the service with an observability tool. Feature flags enable remote update of rollout % without doing new deployments. OpenFeature is a new CNCF project which is trying to standardise feature flagging. It also has built-in hooks for OpenTelemetry so that feature flag values are available by default in tracing & metrics data captured by OpenTelemetry. In this talk, I will share how you can leverage open standards like OpenFeature (for feature flagging) and OpenTelemetry ( for observability) to better manage rollouts. You can enable automatic increase or decrease of rollout % by tying observability with feature flagging.

How do we build a self-service platform that allows developers to interact with a legacy application through Kubernetes? In most other parts of the organisation, developers seek to operate on Kubernetes using the now-familiar concepts of GitOps and cloud-native ways for deploying their applications. When Kubernetes is a one-stop for deployment, the cognitive loads for platform and infrastructure can be minimized, and gives better focus to implementing business needs. In this talk, Bankdata.dk will share their experience building a Kubernetes API-driven self-service platform for operating three of their most critical legacy systems on Kubernetes, through ArgoCD and GitOps.

Search/Vector DBs as Microservices: Pros and Cons - Radu Gheorghe, Vespa.ai
Wednesday December 11, 2024 5:40pm - 6:15pm IST
Room 4
Traditionally, search engines and vector DBs (the boundaries got blurry lately) are deployed as monoliths in a cluster, managed by a StatefulSet and a lot of technology-specific logic. Newer use-cases (e.g. RAG, semantic search in general) implicitly push for more stateless work: e.g. generate embeddings on the fly, re-rank, local LLMs. Decoupling this work and managing it separately makes more sense now, but is it worth the complexity? This session takes a deep dive into the architectures of search engines (mainly Vespa, but Elasticsearch, Solr and others will be in the picture, too) to highlight both pros and cons of separating concerns in information retrieval. And how much separation is good for which scenario. In the end, you should have a better idea about both the technology and the deployment type that fits your use-case best.

Modernizing Network Automation: Embracing Cloud-Native Excellence for Scalable Automation Platforms - Diana Appanna & Srivatsa Srinivasa, Nokia
Thursday December 12, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
Room 2
Traditionally, Network Management System (NMS) are very important and complex systems designed to help network operators from large service providers to small enterprises handling new service deployment, device lifecycle management, and fault management. However, their monolithic architecture combined all functions into one system, causing scalability issues and inefficiencies. The siloed design also impeded network management by isolating functions and restricting real-time monitoring. To address these constraints, we transitioned to a cloud-native architecture. We leveraged a comprehensive suite of open-source and CNCF technologies, including service mesh (Istio), container orchestration (Kubernetes), observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenSearch, Fluent Bit), and ingress gateway solutions (MetalLB, NGINX). This transformation resolved legacy issues while future-proofing our customers' networks, ensuring they stay agile, efficient, and prepared for future challenges.

A Debugging Journey from Coredns to Coreutils - Akhil Mohan & Humble Devassy Chirammal, VMware by Broadcom
Thursday December 12, 2024 11:30am - 12:05pm IST
Room 4
It all started when CoreDNS pods entered a crash loop backoff state soon after the cluster was deployed. The only change was an unprivileged execution desired in the latest coreDNS image. The issue occurred only in worker nodes, not in control plane nodes, and refreshing the image by deleting and pulling it again resolved the issue. It happened in one OS distribution flavor but not in another. We investigated Docker build, setcap, and libc, and found that the required capability was missing in nodes during the issue. The stack was complex, involving FIPS/CGO, build system, runtime configuration, and binary packaging in OVA. Debugging included CoreDNS binary, containerd, runc, SELinux, AppArmor, Photon OS, and the kernel... lots of learning which could be useful for many developers/admins or cluster operators to debug unprivileged pod execution. Finally, we discovered something interesting in the bootstrapping scripts. Let's debug.

Room 3
The most widely used runtime enforcement techniques today are prone to attackers. Many of these techniques work on the principle of stopping or killing a process in response to an attack, which relies at the mercy of an exploit writer putting little to no effort into avoiding triggering these detection mechanisms. Our discussion will focus on various aspects of runtime security: how it is currently implemented, its shortcomings, and the performance implications associated with these approaches. We'll explore a various range of cloud-based runtime security implementations. We'll expose the attacker's perspective, demonstrating how they can bypass these common runtime security measures. This will equip you to anticipate and counter their tactics. Finally, we will cover recent popular attacks and how appropriate runtime security measures can prevent them in the future.

⚡ Lightning Talk: Non-Intrusive Multi-Tenant Auth & Authz with Istio, OAuth2Proxy, and OPA - Adarsh Kumar Singh & Raghuram Sripada, Hitachi Vantara
Thursday December 12, 2024 11:35am - 11:40am IST
Room 1
Simplify authentication and authorization across applications, focusing solely on business logic while ensuring secure services. Our solution features a multitenant proxy to streamline authentication on the SAAS platform. Istio service mesh intercepts every request, with a multitenant-aware proxy (enhanced OAuth2Proxy and caching) connecting to a centralized Identity Provider (IDP) for authentication. Post-authentication, the proxy collaborates with an authorization agent like OPA, passing context for dynamic policy evaluation. Authentication and Authorization are decoupled from the code, allowing developers to use a centrally managed auth service. This shift lets development teams concentrate on business functions, leaving security rules to security analysts, saving time and resources. Externalized authorization management offers runtime controls, including policy management, enforcement, and decision modeling for fine-grained access to applications, services, transactions and data.

From Chaos to Control: Building Resilience with Effective Backup and Disaster Recovery in Kubernetes - Yash Pimple, Nirmata
Thursday December 12, 2024 12:20pm - 12:55pm IST
Room 4
As organizations scale, robust disaster recovery becomes critical. As clusters multiply and complexities grow, maintaining consistent RPO and RTO becomes challenging, requiring new techniques for efficient large-scale data backup and recovery. While GitOps excels at maintaining the desired state of infrastructure using Git as the single source of truth, it falls short for stateful workloads like databases and S3 buckets. Tools like Crossplane help deploy these resources in a GitOps model, but disaster recovery remains complex. You can't just spin up a new K8s cluster, point it to a Git repo, and expect a seamless recovery of critical stateful data Disaster recovery isn't 'one size fits all', each scenario requires a different approach depending on the scale of the disaster. In this talk, we’ll explore different strategies for handling different levels of disasters, from losing a single K8s cluster to facing a full region outage, helping folks to be better prepared for the unexpected.

Enhance Kubernetes Security with the Common Expression Language (CEL) - Hoon Jo, Megazone
Thursday December 12, 2024 12:20pm - 12:55pm IST
Room 3
Among the 4C (Cloud, Cluster, Container, Code) security in Kubernetes, there are various techniques to enhance the security of the cluster surface. In particular, Admission Control (webhook) is one of the most flexible and powerful methods. As this trend, there is movement to apply it to various forms of Kubernetes(e.g. GKE, Openshift and so on). In my opinion, one of the easiest and most efficient ways to apply it is to improve security through CEL (Common Expression Language). I believe that the Validating Admission Policy becoming `stable` in v1.30 is part of this proof. So I will show you the CEL DEMO provided by Google Cloud to get a quick and easy understanding of how to improve the security of GKE. Through this exercise, you will learn the basic structure of CEL and the freedom of scope that can be applied, and you will be able to apply it to any other platform with minimal effort.

Neil Armstrong once said, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" about his first step on moon; so was the case of Fidelity with CF adoption towards wider adoption. It was never an easy sail towards Open Source CNCF landscape adoption since Fidelity being a global financially regulated organization, has its own challenges for industry regulations and embedded culture. We have divided and conquered the goal taking on the challenges unified but in distributed work streams across the organization. In this talk we would like to share this journey, experience, and learnings with others to help their adoptions of cloud native tools at an enterprise scale.

Dynamic Management of X509 Certificates Using Kubernetes Certificate Operator - Abhidnya Joshi & Senthil Ponnuswamy, Dell Technologies
Thursday December 12, 2024 2:55pm - 3:30pm IST
Room 3
Security is non-negotiable area and Kubernetes based environments are no exception! Usage of x509 certificates is the key thing. Be it K8s deployments in private or public cloud, ensuring availability of "right" X509 certificate for a service is very important. If this service is getting connected from external (apps/clients which are outside of K8s cluster) clients, this is even more important! But what is really the "right" x509 certificate and how can we ensure that is always remains "right"? Can we make corrections dynamically? Can we also ensure easy propagation of certificates imported from outside the cluster? Propagation of Certificate revocation lists to ensure services can deny revoked certificates? This talk helps describe the strategy K8s based products can use to dynamically generate, make correction and propagation of X509 certificates within K8s cluster using K8s operator design pattern and makes use of well-known CNCF projects such as cert-manager and trust-manager.

Tutorial: An Accelerated Introduction to AI Model Deployment with Cloud Native - Sreeram Venkitesh, BigBinary & Emily Chen, scikit-learn
Thursday December 12, 2024 2:55pm - 4:20pm IST
Room 5
The future of AI will be on cloud because of various reasons like scalability, computing power, features like Dynamic Resource Allocation and being able to run AI workloads across multiple clouds. However, the fields of cloud native and machine learning are still somewhat separated. We aim to bridge this gap with this tutorial. We plan on giving a brief introduction to machine learning with scikit-learn and cloud native with Kubernetes, then dive into a hands-on tutorial. We will show different ways to train and run ML models on and off the cloud (CPUs vs GPUs, public cloud vs on-prem, different flavors of Kubernetes) and evaluate performance in terms of training speed and cost. Additionally, training ML models is a complicated task and requires a lot of research. Optimizing your cloud setup on top of this makes it more difficult. There is no single solution, and we will explore a few of these options during this tutorial.

Scaling Beyond Autoscaling: How We Grew Our Kubernetes Clusters - Bhavin Gandhi & Ruturaj Kadikar, InfraCloud Technologies
Thursday December 12, 2024 4:50pm - 5:25pm IST
Room 4
Picture this: Your startup just landed a big client, and as your business starts to grow, so does your Kubernetes cluster. The number of microservices and the traffic that they serve has started increasing. You configure auto-scaling of Nodes and Pods. Do you think that is enough, or do you need to look into other areas? What other components need scaling? What strategies should be devised? How do we verify whether there will not be any impact during scaling? In this session, we answer all these questions and come up with a blueprint for scaling a Kubernetes cluster from our experience with scaling our production cluster from merely 20-25 nodes to around 250 nodes with more than 5000 pods. We will touch base on the issues we faced and their resolution that will form a good prescription for those who want to scale their Kubernetes infrastructure.

Expedia Group's GitOps Revolution: Extensive Scalability Testing on ArgoCD for 30K+ Applications - Shivani Mehrotra, Expedia Group & Mohit Kumar, Coforge Limited
Thursday December 12, 2024 5:40pm - 6:15pm IST
Room 3
Expedia Group's journey to implement GitOps with ArgoCD is a story of innovation, scalability, and overcoming challenges. Our GitOps journey involved migrating from KubeFed to ArgoCD, focusing on extensive scalability testing across hundreds of virtual clusters, set up using open source tool, vcluster. We proactively identified potential challenges and prepared comprehensive test cases tailored to different application flavors. We created three types of applications for testing, with sizes varying between 15-30 resources, including CRDs and jobs, small applications containing 15 resources and large applications containing 30 resources. We experimented with multiple test scenarios, using permutation and combination of applications tested on 300 vclusters, scaling approximately 1,000 applications to 30,000+ across these clusters. We concluded this initiative with determining optimal settings for various tunable parameters in the ArgoCD controllers.

Ensuring Reliability of Production Ready Kubernetes Operators Using Envtest - Aniruddha Basak, Syself GmbH & Richard Case, Stealth Startup
Thursday December 12, 2024 5:40pm - 6:15pm IST
Room 5
We need to keep in mind many principles & techniques while writing a Kubernetes operator and especially so when used in production. Projects like kubebuilder go a long way to help in building operators. However, talks focus on how to write operators. But in this talk, you will learn how testing can help you create Kubernetes operators that are reliable and resilient to failure and give you the confidence to deploy them to production clusters. Often writing unit tests is not enough for an operator that manages infrastructure. Introducing e2e tests will help, but writing and running e2e tests are time-consuming. This session will share how a user can use envtest to simulate an environment very similar to a real environment and run the tests on behalf of that. In addition, you’ll learn what to keep in mind while writing the tests, such as it doesn’t support garbage collection, and a user must be very careful while creating objects and deleting them after a test suite is done.
