Kubernetes Atlanta Meetup: September 2020

# Kubernetes Atlanta Meetup: September 2020 - **Date:** 09.30.2020 - **Location:** - [Virtual via Zoom](https://www.meetup.com/Kubernetes-Atlanta-Meetup/events/272847703/) - NOTE: You must login to Meetup to view the Zoom link - **Topics:** - Securing your Pipelines (from build to post mortem) - Dan "POP" Papandrea @ Sysdig - Steven Terrana @ Booz Allen In this talk, Steven and Pop take a look at defense-in-depth to secure production workloads running on Kubernetes throughout the entire software development lifecycle. We’ll show a live demonstration of using CNCF projects like Helm, Open Policy Agent, Falco ( and Sysdig Secure), and Argo to secure Kubernetes clusters. With a secure cluster, we’ll then show how to leverage DevSecOps principles to incorporate security into every step of the software development lifecycle and how to scale your CI/CD pipelines using the open source Jenkins Template Engine. This talk is the result of lessons learned supporting multiple horizontals of end users, including financial organizations and federal modern software delivery in support of government agencies. Specifically, attendees will walk away with actionable plans for how to implement: - Pipeline Security along with additional extensions. - Container/host configuration management policies - Protection against runtime threats - Automating changes - Post-mortem and prevention - **Hosts:** - @alex.b - @phenixblue ## This Month in Kubernetes - **Kubernetes Release Info** - Week 3 of the 1.20 release cycle, so not much happening yet - 1.20 Release Dates to Remember - Enhancement Freeze - Tuesday, October 6th - v1.20.0-alpha.1 - Tuesday, September 22nd - v1.20.0-alpha.2 - Tuesday, October 13th - v1.20.0-alpha.3 - Tuesday, October 20th - Test Freeze - Monday, November 23rd - **Deprecations** - [Dockershim is deprecated](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94624) and is scheduled for removal in v1.22 - Self hosting the control plane in Kubeadm has [been deprecated](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95125) - **Community News** - Kubernetes Steering Committee Elections - October 6th dealine - [Candidate List](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/events/elections/2020#nominees) - [Voters Guide](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/events/elections/2020#voting-process) - CNCF Acceptance/Graduation - [TiKV Graduated](https://www.cncf.io/announcements/2020/09/02/cloud-native-computing-foundation-announces-tikv-graduation/) - [KubeEdge accepted for Incubation](https://www.cncf.io/blog/2020/09/16/toc-approves-kubeedge-as-incubating-project/) - [CNCF End User Technology Radar](https://radar.cncf.io/overview) - [KubeCon EU 2020 Videos are all up](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj6h78yzYM2O1wlsM-Ma-RYhfT5LKq0XC) - [For the lazy YAML'ers](https://k8syaml.com/) - The better Paas: [Pizza-as-a-Service](https://github.com/rudoi/cruster-api) ## Meetup Links ## Meetup Slides ## Meetup Recordings - [On youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LoI1SYRnRw) ## Meetup Notes ### Who's Hiring - Carbon Relay: - Head of Open Source - Carbon Relay, plus multiple various opportunities in the company - Contact: cody@carbonrelay.com - Sysdig: - Customer Reliability engineers: https://sysdig.com/jobs/customer-reliability-engineer-east-2256723/  ###### tags: `meetup`, `2020`, `september`, `ci/cd`, `sysdig`, `booz allen`, `jenkins`, `security`, `pipeline`, `helm`, `opa`, `falco`, `argo`
