# Kubernetes Atlanta Meetup: April 2024 - **Date:** <!--date as MM.DD.YYYY--> - **Location:** - Ga Tech ATDC - **Speakers:** - **Jenn Allen, Product Manager @ Dagger.io** <!--presenter name @ company--> Jenn leads technical product management at Dagger, working to reduce the toil software teams face when making apps and services. - **An Introduction to Dagger. A brief overview of Dagger, how to build modules, and how to use Dagger with K8s**<!--presentation title--> Dagger is a programmable open source CI/CD engine that runs your pipelines in containers — pre-push on your local machine and/or post-push in CI. We'll cover what Dagger is, walk through a few simple examples, and look at how to use modules from the Daggerverse to build and publish a containerized app. - **Matthew LeRay - Co-founder & CTO @ Speedscale** <!--presenter name @ company--> Jenn leads technical product management at Dagger, working to reduce the toil software teams face when making apps and services. - **Leveraging the Power of User Traffic in Dev: Remote Capture and Playback in K8s**<!--presentation title--> Observing production workloads with enough detail to find real problems is difficult, but it's getting easier with the rise of eBPF and Kubernetes traffic tools like KubeShark and Speedscale. As the technology becomes better understood, tools like Cilium and Pixie are increasingly appearing in production clusters. But have you ever considered using observed traffic to help with unit tests, Continuous Integration and load testing? This talk will present some examples of how to use collected traffic for a variety of software quality use cases. You'll also get some ideas on using those calls in your Continuous Integration pipeline to sanity check builds before they are deployed. Included in that discussion will be handling some common issues like timestamp skew and authentication. - **Hosts:** - Nate Lee - Joe Searcy - @phenixblue ## This Month in Kubernetes - v1.31 Release Cycle <!-- Link to latest release for the current K8s release cycle --> - In between releases right now - Next Deadline: Cycle begins April 2024'ish<!-- Date and general description for the next release cycle deadline --> - - Fix Releases <!-- List of latest fix releases for supported/maintained Kubernetes version --> - v1.30.0 - v1.29.4 - v1.28.9 - v1.27.13 - Promotions <!-- List of any interesting feature/API promotions --> - [CRD Validation with CEL moves to stable](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/2876-crd-validation-expression-language) - [Container Resource based Autoscaling](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-autoscaling/1610-container-resource-autoscaling/README.md) - Deprecations <!-- List of any interesting feature/API deprecations --> - NA - CVE's <!-- List of any Kubernetes related CVE's --> - NA - PR's of Note <!-- List of any interesting PR's to the Kubernetes project (use lwkd.io) --> - NA - Community News <!-- List of any interesting news from the Kubernetes community/ecosystem --> - [OpenUnison - SSO for K8s](https://openunison.github.io) - [kubectl-sidecar](https://github.com/thockin/kubectl-sidecar) - [Rancher k3k](https://github.com/rancher/k3k) - [Azure Fleet](https://github.com/Azure/fleet/) ## Meetup Links - Dagger Community Discord: https://discord.gg/dagger-io - Demo Source: https://github.com/d3rp3tt3/dagger-demos/tree/main/dagger-tekton - ## Meetup Slides ## Meetup Recordings ## Meetup Notes ### Who's Hiring <!--Company Name: Positions hiring for (link to hiring page), Contact Name/email/etc--> - Speedscale: for a Front End/Full Stack Engineer.

Kubernetes Atlanta Meetup: May 2023

Date: 05.31.2023<!--date as MM.DD.YYYY--> Location:Virtual via Zoom Speakers: Whitney Lee @ VMware & Viktor Farcic @Upbound <!--presenter name @ company-->Viktor Farcic is a Developer Advocate at Upbound, a member of the Google Developer Experts, CDF Ambassadors, and GitHub Stars groups, and a published author. He is a host of the YouTube channel DevOps Toolkit and a co-host of DevOps Paradox.Whitney is a lovable goofball who enjoys understanding and using tools in the cloud native landscape. Creative and driven, Whitney recently pivoted from an art-related career to one in tech. She is active in the open source community, especially around CNCF projects focused on developer productivity. You can catch her lightboard streaming show ⚡️ Enlightning on Tanzu.TV. She also co-hosts the streaming show You Choose! - a 'Choose-Your-Own-Adventure'-style journey through the CNCF landscape. And not only does she rock at tech - she literally has toured playing in the band Mutual Benefit on keyboards and vocals.Choose Your Own Adventure: The Treacherous Trek to Development<!--presentation title-->From the moment of their inception as source code on the developer’s laptop, our hero knows that they are destined for great things. They long to be a real, running application, living in production, serving end users! But the epic journey to production is an arduous one, filled with cascading choices—choices concerning container build strategy, image registries, application configuration, adding and managing a database, migrating database schema, and Kubernetes-native development, to name a few. And who knows what other unseen forces lurk in the shadows! One wrong step could be catastrophic.It is up to us, the audience, to guide our hero; and to help them grow from source code to container image, to the first pitstop on their journey- running in a development environment. In this ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’-style talk, Whitney and Viktor will present a linear view of all of the choices that an anthropomorphized application must make as they try to find their way to the fabled land of development. Throughout the presentation, the audience will use a voting app to choose which path our hero application will take. Can we navigate CNCF projects and avoid pitfalls and dead-ends to get our application to development before the session time elapses? Budhaditya Bhattacharya, Product Evangelist @ Tyk, Sedky Haider, Director Solutions Architecture @ Tyk <!--presenter name @ company--> Budha is the product evangelist and developer advocate at Tyk. He is also the host of the All About APIs podcast, the API hangout, and the GraphQL hangout and endeavors to put technology in context and show how it can solve real-world problems. He is passionate about solving problems at scale and building a connected and sustainable world through technology. His areas of interest include APIs, K8s and Data science.
