Kyverno, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project, is a policy engine designed for Kubernetes. With Kyverno, policies are managed as Kubernetes resources and no new language is required to write policies. This allows using familiar tools such as kubectl, git, and kustomize to manage policies. Kyverno can also be used to mutate existing Kubernetes or generate new resources. This is an interactive workshop for individuals interested in getting started with Kyverno.

This talk will describe the libtracefs library that is used to interact with the Linux ftrace tracing infrastructure. Controlling ftrace tracing is usually performed via the tracefs file system via echo and cat commands to the control files within it. This is awkward at best from doing the same from within an application. The libtracefs library and friends make it much easier to perform from your customized program. Useful examples of how to use the library will be given.

Join us for a hands-on workshop with CloudBees CI, an enterprise grade platform for Jenkins on-prem or in the cloud. Expert instructors will guide you through exercises showcasing some of the unique capabilities the platform offers, including easily scaling up large CI systems in Kubernetes with centralized control and visibility, managing environments at scale with configuration as code, onboarding projects quickly with pre-configured templates and policies, and applying best practices to better control resources and CI pipelines.

In this workshop offered to you by Gradle, we will be discussing Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE). If you are not already familiar with DPE, it is a new software development discipline that uses data analytics and acceleration technologies to speed up the critical software development processes‚ from builds to testing to CI‚ and make them more efficient. In this hands-on training with labs we will describe DPE processes and best practices in action using examples from Java projects that rely on Maven or Gradle build tools.

Regardless of your technical roles or interests, adding the tools of data science can help you do more. Systems administrators, analysts, developers, technical support specialists, tech writers, and others have tasks that can be machine learning (ML) workloads, which can then be put in a cloud environment in an end-to-end ML workflow.

IEEE SA OPEN has active communities creating open source and open hardware digital infrastructure technologies across a wide range of sectors such as healthcare, education, retail clothing, communications, design-automation, and more. During SCALE 19x, we will be hosting a day of collaborative planning, teaching, and making! To do this, our event will offer mini-tutorials along with (design and coding focused) sessions based on attendee generated topics.

We all know that OpenTelemetry has quickly become one of the preferred data collection and instrumentation for APM, infrastructure metrics and more. However, re-instrumenting your applications can be a challenge, and knowing where to start is not always straightforward. In this session, Splunk's observability solutions engineers will cover: 1) Basics of what OpenTelemetry is, 2) Hands-on examples of how to instrument your applications and validate using APM and 3) How to use your existing CICD processes to ensure a smooth transition from your current telemetry tooling to Otel.

The last you saw our adventurers they had slain the virtualized terror of application deployment using the Sword of Containers. Yet, as the beast lay dying he bragged: "Your sword is no match for the best of bare metal. You will never defeat him! AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGH..." Could it be true that containers cannot be deployed at boot to create a stateless, declarative bare metal operating system? Must bare metal deployments always depend on expensive and complicated state management systems? Tune in to see what happens to the party in "Wyrcan: the Container Bootloader Saga."

Topic: General

Bug trackers are the cornerstone of a vibrant open source community, so of course you have one. But are you tracking what’s important? Are you gardening the bugs to keep them up-to-date? What do your project’s bug reports tell you about the health of your community?

This talk will cover the program management side of bug tracking: what to track, how to triage, and what you can—and can’t—learn from the bugs.
