Vitess is a massively scalable horizontal distributed database system built for MySQL. This session will provide a brief overview of the project followed by what makes Vitess so scalable. It will conclude with data and charts to demonstrate these scalability claims.
PipeCD offers a unified, intuitive interface for progressive delivery across diverse application platforms—whether you manage a single project or operate at an enterprise scale. As an open-source GitOps-style continuous delivery platform, it unlocks extensive pipeline customization through its new plugin architecture, with an alpha release planned before KubeCon Japan 2025. Developers can write custom plugins in Go, vastly expanding automation possibilities, from wrapping external tools like sqldef to personalizing notifications—well beyond official support.
We'll demonstrate how these user-defined capabilities enhance continuous delivery with plugin stages for tasks like validation steps, database migrations, or targeted Slack alerts. If you already use GitOps and want better ways to extend your pipelines, join us to see how PipeCD elevates automation and bridges the gap between standard deployments and specialized needs.
OpenTelemetry has transformed the observability landscape by moving beyond the traditional three pillars of traces, metrics, and logs. With these core components now stable, the project is expanding its reach to encompass even more facets of system monitoring and performance analysis. In this session, we will explore the latest advancements in OpenTelemetry, including the integration of profiling, which offers deeper insights into application performance by capturing detailed execution data. Additionally, we'll discuss the emerging concept of entities, which promises to provide a more holistic view of system components and their interactions. By expanding its capabilities, OpenTelemetry is not just enhancing the granularity and scope of observability but also setting the stage for more comprehensive and actionable insights. Join us to learn how these new developments can help you achieve unparalleled visibility into your systems and drive better operational outcomes.
This presentation explores the internal mechanics of Kubernetes' metric collection system, focusing on how container runtime metrics are gathered and utilized to maintain Kubernetes. We will break down the roles of the Container Runtime and cAdvisor (Container Advisor) in collecting real-time resource usage data. Additionally, we will discuss current enhancement proposals related to metrics and explore the future of metric usage in Kubernetes.
Contributing to open source is a great opportunity to improve programming skills and collaborate with experts. However, taking the first step is not easy. This session will highlight 5 tips to help beginners navigate their open-source contribution journey. Suhyen graduated from the LitmusChaos Korean Mentorship Program, one of the many open-source programs where LitmusChaos, the CNCF incubating project, participates, and grew from a novice contributor to a project member. She will share tips learned through mentorship, including choosing a good starting project, getting faster code reviews, and more. Finally, with these tips, beginners can successfully complete the first step on their journey.
Kubernetes is the second largest open source project in the world, which means there's always work to do! To maintain and build on Kubernetes, contributors work together in focused groups called Special Interest Groups (SIGs). These groups align with important technically areas of the project like Networking, Node, Autoscaling,and more. But who makes sure those contributors have the tools and processes they need to do their work and grow their groups? Meet SIG Contributor Experience! Ever wonder how the Kubernetes project does things on GitHub, or how social media for the project is run? Come learn how you can contribute to make the Kubernetes community even more fun and welcoming by contributing to the Contributor Experience!
Kube-proxy is a networking component in Kubernetes that manages network rules to facilitate communication between services and pods across nodes in a cluster. It relies on iptables or IPVS for L3/L4 load balancing, which can become a performance bottleneck in large scale Kubernetes clusters.
Cilium offers a high-performance, scalable alternative by leveraging eBPF to replace kube-proxy entirely. This talk provides an overview of how Cilium's datapath implements ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer services using eBPF. By the end of the talk, the audience will understand the core principles behind Cilium's eBPF-based service handling and gain the fundamental knowledge needed to apply it in production environments.
Open Cluster Management supports SIG-Multicluster API’s and concepts whilst sprinkling in additional enhancements for managing real world multicluster and multicloud use cases..
Today’s talk will cover the recent 1.0.0 release and some of the key areas we are evolving OCM and multicluster:
- Multicluster hits prime time: why it was time for 1.0.0!
- Multicluster your AI: how OCM is supporting the future of workloads!
- Upcoming planned integrations with other platforms
- Real world implementation update: who’s using OCM today.
- Lightning roadmap: what’s coming next in 30 seconds!
Modern infrastructures based on cloud-native platforms such as Kubernetes can become increasingly complex with many components, resources, and customizations, requiring engineers to handle intricate relationships and configurations across them. The complexity increases when they have to write and manage these infrastructures definitions, relationships and configurations using YAML.
Meshery, an open-source cloud-native manager, provides an intuitive visual interface called Kanvas, that allows platform engineers and developers to collaboratively design, deploy and manage Kubernetes resources and apps without writing YAML.
Join this lighting talk to see how Meshery makes Kubernetes more accessible, empowering users to visualize and manage complex relationships with ease.
As large language model (LLM) applications continue to grow in popularity, the need to efficiently run and scale AI workloads across cloud and edge devices is becoming more critical. Rust and WebAssembly (Wasm) provide a powerful solution with portable bytecode that abstracts hardware complexities.
WasmEdge is a lightweight, high-performance, cross-platform runtime optimized for LLM inference. It implements the standard WASI-NN API, enabling developers to write code once and compile it to Wasm. The resulting Wasm file can then run seamlessly on any device. WasmEdge handles the translation and routing of Wasm calls to native libraries like llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, and sd.cpp, ensuring optimal performance across platforms.
