How Delta Became Truly Cloud Native: Avoiding the Vendor-Lock

Delta has achieved a rarity in the industry: workflow portability. In this talk, Jasmine James, an engineering leader from Delta, will share how and why they moved to cloud native and their strategy in building the path to kubernetes. Dive in to understand Delta's push to modernize and go cloud native, and how containerization factored into the build. Other enterprise-level organizations may benefit from Jasmine’s insights on shifting the mental model when approaching technical decisions and her contrarian belief that companies need not be handcuffed by a cloud provider.

Implementing Open Source Culture at NASA

When frustrated by lack of adoption within NASA of modern application development tooling, Marshall's team of 4 set out to build a from-scratch, cloud-native PaaS specifically tuned to meet complex operational and regulatory requirements at NASA. In Sept 2018, their grant proposal was accepted to begin work on APPDAT, our platform based on GKE + GitLab. With GitLab's extended EE trial period during their prototype phase, Marshall's team demonstrated enormous value very quickly. They are now leading the effort to operate Agency workloads on GCP for the first time, migrating 100+ legacy Cold Fusion apps (using custom ADO templates), plans to migrate STI program and the 40TB of public research documents they manage. Learn how Marshall overcame the cultural and business challenges presented and how this team's work is all tying back to their primary goal: demonstrating the benefits of OSS and unified toolchains, bringing that culture back to NASA... and flying Kubernetes clusters to the Moon!

Picking up Speed: Logging & Stream Processing

Limited Capacity seats available

Logging and Data analysis are intrisincally tied. From an operational perspective, backend storage must be aligned in order to centralize the data. Traditional data analysis is not fast enough for modern needs. Pushing logs to aggregators for processing is time-consuming and slows the feedback loop. There are plenty of opportunities to improve data analysis time while the data is still in motion. In this presentation, Eduardo will discuss data processing patterns and how this new approach of Stream Processing on the Edge can be used for faster data availability and smaller feedback loops in distributed environments. The result? Systems that can evolve faster and data science teams are empowered to accurately understand what is happening inside their systems.

Running GitLab and GitLab CI in Kubernetes for the Enterprise

Limited Capacity seats available

Northwestern Mutual is running GitLab in a fully distributed model in Kubernetes. They've also deployed GitLab Runners in AWS to manage demand for capacity and cost. Securing pipelines has always been a top priority; however, keeping secrets protected in a multi-tenant environment is a constant challenge. They've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly over the cource of their journey from 2016 to today, long before any documentation or Helm Charts existed. Learn from Sean and Kyle as they share Northwestern Mutual's experiences on how to provide a scalable, highly available SCM for users and leverage Kubernetes effectively. In this talk, Sean and Kyle will cover converging dynamic secrets into a shared environment to keep pipelines secure while minimizing overhead management.

GitLab's Journey to Continuous Delivery

Limited Capacity seats available

This talk is about the practical realities of starting continuous deployments for legacy applications. GitLab releases every 22nd of the month to help their large, self-managed install base maintain consistency. However, as they are in the process of moving to Kubernetes, they are increasing the velocity of feature development (yay!) and that meant they needed the ability to deploy more regularly. Traditionally, talks and blog posts focus on adopting the latest Kubernetes-enabled, star-spangled CI/CD solution but Marin went the alternate route of pushing GitLab's existing legacy CI/CD system to the limit instead. This talk is the story of how Marin found success, both human and byte-sized.
