Open Source Summit Europe 2022

As per the latest CNCF survey, Kubernetes and containers have gone mainstream! This is exciting for most DevOps and SRE operators. However, it also introduces new and different challenges for application developers who, for example, just care about building out a great React.js frontend application. In many cases, the widespread adoption of certain technologies doesn’t necessarily equate to the wide spread adoption of best practices. The latter is an issue for developers who don't believe that the Kubernetes world should fall within their purview. These application developers are having to quickly adopt cloud native approaches and tools to development whilst still fulfilling development of business requirements, and it's a recipe for implementing bad Kubernetes practices. So how can teams successfully adopt cloud native application modernisation without a negative impact on developer experiences and workflows, and still deliver best practices of K8s resources? Lukonde will discuss and demonstrate tools that support the optimisation of the inner development loop, abstraction of local building and delivering of containers to a local Kubernetes cluster, and policy enforcement practices to safeguard against committing insecure and badly formed manifests and helm charts.
