KubeCon has steadily gained traction in the IT community over the years. In this Gestalt IT Tech Talk, Stephen Foskett and Michael Levan dig into the nuances that make KubeCon a conference like no other. The broad appeal of the event owes to the community-centric approach of the organizers. First and foremost, KubeCon is an event of the practitioners. Guests are given all the opportunity to learn and network. Additionally, it supports a multi-vendor ecosystem giving every attending company an even playing field to showcase their expertise. Watch this Gestalt IT interview to know the key attractions of KubeCon.
Containerization of applications is only a small step forward from virtualization, but WebAssembly promises a real revolution. This episode of the On-Premise IT podcast, recorded live at KubeCon 2023 in Chicago, features Nigel Poulton, Ned Bellavance, Justin Warren, and Stephen Foskett discussing the prospects for WebAssembly. WebAssembly (WASM) is lauded for its potential to be faster, smaller, and more secure than its predecessors. But skepticism surrounds its long-term adoption and development trajectory, with debates centering on whether WASM can achieve the transformative status that containers once held. While WASM applications are technically more portable, smaller, and quicker to start, adoption remains at an early stage, appealing more to developers than operations professionals.
In this Gestalt IT Tech Talk brought to you by ZEDEDA, host, Stephen Foskett and ZEDEDA’s Michael Maxey talk about the problems of Kubernetes adoption at the edge, and ZEDEDA's new solution that addresses them.
#kubecon2023 decompression thoughts - vulnerability detection and management at scale is a composite problem of observability and data engineering.
Prioritizing CVEs to patch such that efforts are only expended on the highly exploitable necessitates insights into what’s loaded into the runtime, and consuming the data generated (eg. filtered SBOMs) and separating usable signals from noise is a big data problem. Lessons learned in vulnerability management for traditional fleets can be applied to Kubernetes and vice versa.
At the end of the day, the problems we solve as system thinking software engineers really is just about capturing the right data, making meaning of it, then surfacing it in the right way. Tooling is just specifics.
