KubeDay Colombia 2024

Margarita has been working in Tech, and in particular in OSS, for more than 20 years. She has worked in big tech and smaller startups, as both an individual contributor and a manager, experienced a number of successes and also some interesting challenges. This presentation will cover some of the lessons learned along the way, as well as discuss the different forms that success may look like for people interested in working 100% with Open Source Software.

The Latin American region embraces an open-source culture and is already experiencing increased innovation, efficiency, and collaboration. We are excited to share our insights and experiences as they continue this journey. Let's discuss how joining the TODO Group and adopting OSPO demonstrates the transformative power of open source, creating a dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking work environment.

In this session, you will learn how Kubernetes, designed years before AI became the mainstream force that is today, brings a host of key features that make it a stable platform to support the ML model development lifecycle. From data ingestion to serving, K8s offers autoscaling, GPU device management, idempotent operations, Pod templating, and more; supporting the iterative and distributed nature of AI-powered app development. Using the Flyte open source orchestrator, you'll see how all these features can be leveraged today from an ML pipeline developed in Python.

Platform engineering is revolutionizing cloud operations using open-source and cloud-native tools, particularly in AI infrastructure and ML/OPs. This case study between Cuemby and Guane Enterprises highlights the transformative impact of platform engineering on their approach to building efficient, agile, and innovative AI and ML solutions. The evolution towards more integrated and automated environments facilitated by platform engineering is evident in their collaboration. However, the risk of over-engineering and increased complexity can hinder simplicity and scalability. This talk will cover essential strategies to avoid these pitfalls, ensuring platform engineering enhances rather than complicates AI and ML operations. Attendees will gain insights into leveraging platform engineering to optimize cloud operations, fostering an environment of streamlined efficiency and innovation.

Kubernetes is a powerful tool for deploying microservices applications offering features such as auto-scaling and multi-tenancy among others. But, what about networking? How does communication between workloads take place? Which components ensure reliable communication?. This talk aims to answer these questions by delivering a high level overview about the networking building blocks. Attendees will embark on a journey that begins with exploring how CNIs (Container Network Interface) enable Pod to Pod communication. Next, we will discuss the options for exposing applications to the outside world. Finally, attendees will learn how the novel Service Mesh approach improves the observability and security of Kubernetes workloads while also bringing advanced routing capabilities. By the end of the session, attendees will have a solid understanding about the scope and operation of Kubernetes networking as well as its role in hosting cloud-native workloads.

The session will benefit the community by providing practical, hands-on experience in quickly setting up and configuring a robust production environment using Docker, Kubernetes, and Rancher. we will do the lab into just 20 minutes, participants will gain valuable insights and skills that they can apply immediately to their own projects and workflows. This efficiency empowers individuals and teams to streamline their infrastructure deployment processes, leading to increased productivity, reduced time-to-market, and ultimately, improved reliability and scalability of their applications.

In the dynamic landscape of container orchestration, Kubernetes has emerged as the de-facto standard, streamlining containerized applications' deployment, scaling, and management. As organizations strive for greater efficiency and control, the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has gained immense popularity. IaC enables engineers to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters and pods through versioned, scriptable coding constructs. This technical conference delves into the evolving practice of provisioning Kubernetes resources as code. We will embark on a comprehensive journey to explore the potential of tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS CDK, among others, in defining and deploying Kubernetes resources with precision and consistency.

WebAssembly has come to transform how developers run his code everywhere, from IoT and edge computing to cloud and serverless architectures. Allowing them to create componentes that can be truly "build once, run everywhere" with his preferred language. In this talk, you'll be introduced to the WebAssembly ecosystem, its applications, be able to interact with web demos, and spin up you own development environment to build and publish your own bagle component, ready to be run Everything, Everywhere All At Once!!
