# Kubernetes Atlanta Meetup: May 2024<!--Month Year--> - **Date:** 05.30.2024<!--date as MM.DD.YYYY--> - **Location:** - Ga Tech ATDC - **Speakers:** - **Tyler Gillson, Principal Software Engineer @ Spectro Cloud** <!--presenter name @ company--> Tyler is a programmer and a problem solver, with 6 years of experience designing, discussing, and building complex systems in a multitude of languages. His technical interests lie in cloud computing, automation, declarative infrastructure and application configuration for distributed systems. When he isn’t building things, Tyler can often be found playing with rocks: scrambling, climbing, and mountain biking. - **Two-node HA kubernetes for edge computing cost savings**<!--presentation title--> When you’re scaling production K8s workloads to hundreds or thousands of edge sites, you know you need HA — but with conventional 3-node architectures, the hardware costs can be terrifying. This talk presents a new architecture for 2-node HA that gives you the resilience you need, and 33% cost savings. We'll cover: - The challenge: real end user examples from hospitals, coffee shops and factory floors where 3-node HA proved problematic - The problem space: existing alternatives such as external data stores and ‘witnesses’ — and why they fall short - The blueprint: a new OSS-based 2-node HA design built on kairos, k3s, kine, and postgres - Tradeoffs: when and where 2-node makes sense and how it stacks up against traditional 3-node k8s. - **Lachlan Heywood, wasmCloud Contributor & Software Engineering Lead @ Cosmonic** - **Resilient Workloads in Kubernetes: From Cloud to Edge with WebAssembly** Lachlan will give an overview of WebAssembly outside the browser, the wasmCloud CNCF project and how it can assist building and deploying resilient workloads in Kubernetes across regions, clouds and to the edge. - **Hosts:** - Nate Lee - Joe Searcy - @phenixblue ## This Month in Kubernetes - v1.31 Release Cycle <!-- Link to latest release for the current K8s release cycle --> - [43 enhancements opted in for the release so far](https://bit.ly/k8s131-enhancements) - 20 are in alpha - 9 graduating to beta - 10 graduating to GA - Next Deadline: <!-- Date and general description for the next release cycle deadline --> - Production Readiness Freeze, June 6th, 2024 - Fix Releases <!-- List of latest fix releases for supported/maintained Kubernetes version --> - v1.30.1 - v1.29.5 - v1.28.10 - v1.27.14 - Promotions <!-- List of any interesting feature/API promotions --> - NA - Deprecations <!-- List of any interesting feature/API deprecations --> - NA - CVE's <!-- List of any Kubernetes related CVE's --> - NA - KEP's of Note - [CBOR Serializer](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/4222-cbor-serializer) - https://cbor.io - PR's of Note <!-- List of any interesting PR's to the Kubernetes project (use lwkd.io) --> - [kubectl logs --all-pods](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124732) - Community News <!-- List of any interesting news from the Kubernetes community/ecosystem --> - [Kubebuilder v4.0.0](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v4.0.0) - [k8s-wait-for](https://github.com/groundnuty/k8s-wait-for) - [Paraglider](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-launches-paraglider-to-reduce-complexity-for-developers-and-network-operators-within-and-across-clouds?hs_amp=true) - [Github Project](https://github.com/paraglider-project/paraglider) - [Kubernetes Cloud Provider for KIND](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-kind) - [Ian Rudie added as Istio Ambient `ztunnel` Maintainer](https://github.com/istio/community/pull/1401) ## Meetup Links ## Meetup Slides ## Meetup Recordings ## Meetup Notes - [KubeCon + CloudNativeCon (15% off)](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/register/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9eA9XSefxXunBMBa9P1w1hApuWtuQgpAVCH0MtsVHCll6Vnf_WLgdqji6PcxCRoH94d4TX): KCNA24JOIN ### Who's Hiring - Deryck Hodge - deryckhodge@geico.com - Several positions open for anyone with DevOps/Containers/Linux expertise - POsitions of all levels from College to Sr. <!--Company Name: Positions hiring for (link to hiring page), Contact Name/email/etc--> ###### tags: `meetup` <!--Add additional tags for `year`, `month` and anything else pertinent-->

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.
