Join us to learn why Operators are the leading and default approach for managing workloads on Kubernetes. We will pull back the curtain to show you exactly what an Operator is, how to make one, and what it means to be “Kubernetes Native”.

SREs automate every aspect of workload management. Applying this mentality to the Kubernetes space, a pattern has emerged for coding such automation directly into the control plane. By adding native extensions to the Kubernetes API that are tailored to individual workloads, the Operator pattern enables infrastructure and workloads to be managed side-by-side with one set of tooling and access control.

Join us to learn why Operators are the leading and default approach for managing workloads on Kubernetes. We will pull back the curtain to show you exactly what an Operator is, how to make one, and what it means to be “Kubernetes Native”. To close we will discuss use cases from the field; how real organizations have created and/or re-used Operators to automate their operations.

Ansible, the familiar IT automation tool, makes it easier than ever to automate your Kubernetes cluster. This talk introduces two practical ways to define and provision complex applications using Ansible Automation with Kubernetes.

Have you longed for a simple yet powerful way to automate workloads on Kubernetes? Ansible, the familiar IT automation tool, makes it easier than ever to automate your cluster. This talk introduces two practical ways to define and provision complex applications using Ansible Automation with Kubernetes.

The Automation Broker allows users to leverage Ansible Automation to define and orchestrate applications, making them available for self-service provisioning in the Service Catalog.

The Ansible Operator allows users to actively manage the full lifecycle of an application by defining management behaviors with Ansible; the Operator handles everything else.

In this session you will learn: How to define and deploy your application on Kubernetes using Ansible. How to publish your own applications in the Kubernetes Service Catalog. How to create a Kubernetes Operator using Ansible.

Pulp can be used to create and manage local repositories of Python packages.

Pulp enables your organization to manage repositories of software packaged in many different formats, using one set of tools. Manage RPMs, Debian packages, Puppet modules, Docker images, Atomic trees, Python packages, and more with the same technology currently used by the largest and smallest of organizations.

In this session, you will learn: - How to create local repositories of Python packages - How to upload packages to Pulp repositories - How to make Pulp automatically retrieve packages from remote repositories, like PyPI - How to install packages from a Pulp repository

Docker is not just for deployment. As a developer, there are many ways Docker can make you more productive, regardless of how your app gets deployed.

In this session, you will learn practical strategies for using Docker, including how to:

• Run unit tests locally in multiple environments with almost no overhead.
• Make your integration tests easy for anyone to run by distributing them in a Docker image.
• Simulate advanced network topologies, especially for a service-oriented architecture.
• Make a Docker image in 5 minutes or less that produces builds from a consistent environment.
• Isolate database state changes in your test suite by using a pool of disposable containers.
