Before cloud-native controlling components delivered was in some ways "easier" in that ops teams could limit which components were available on nodes. With containerization, the ops problem became harder while the dev side became easier. Now SBOMS (software bill of materials) are becoming critical to software supply chain risk management. In this episode, GitOps the Planet Alum, Christian Hernandez will join to walk us through SBOMS, how we should be using them, and how they help improve software security.

Dan's last tutorial "Learn how to make the LAST Docker image you'll ever need" was a very successful April Fools joke. Perhaps too successful. In this video Dan does the tutorial in reverse and explains exactly why "one Docker image to rule them all" is probably a terrible idea.

Modernizing your CI/CD can turn into a Sherlock-Holmes-style mystery if your organization or team is not fully prepared. And when migrating from monoliths to microservices, people tend to only focus on the really technical nitty gritty details, and don’t focus enough time on questions like: With experience as a consultant, architect, engineer, DevOps engineer, and developer evangelism, JJ Asghar, Developer Advocate at IBM has seen every side of the modernization process. And has so many stories to share.

Since vcluster launched, it's exploded into the cloud-native world with tons of benefits that are creating new patterns for architecting and deploying Kubernetes applications and workflows. Rich Burroughs (@richburroughs) and Lian Li (@lianmakesthings) of loft.sh will join to talk about how vcluster launched, is growing, working with GitOps, and changing the landscape.

How has supply-chain security changed and what practices are evolving to improve CI/CD, GitOps, and operational security. Join Anais Urlichs (@urlichsanais), Developer Advocate at Aqua Security and CNCF Ambassador as we explore this exciting topic.

Crossplane is a next-generation infrastructure management tool that brings cloud-native primitives to managing all kinds of infrastructure, not just Kubernetes but really any infra. The value is huge, especially when doing GitOps, but how is Crossplane tackling scale to handle so many types of resources? We’ll find out in this episode with Viktor Farcic.

ibuildcloud, aka Darren Shepherd, is the CTO and co-founder at Acorn Labs - a simple application development framework for Kubernetes. Before Acorn Labs, Darren was the CTO and co-founder of Rancher Labs (acquired by Suse) where he created k3s and a lot more. In this episode we'll talk about the changing developer experience landscape the effect of GitOps, k3s, and these new frameworks.

Kubernetes homelabs are on the rise! In part thanks to the amazing k8s@home community. In this episode we chat with k8s@home maintainers Davin "onedr0p" Buhl, and Ryan Walter on the advantages and pitfalls of running Kubernetes at home.

We talk about what makes edge special, how Rancher (SUSE), Argo CD, and Codefresh are powering this big shift to Kubernetes at edge.

Argo CD has become the defacto entry for engineering teams to deploy and manage their applications while Open Policy Agent has become one of the most reliable security policy enforcement engines. These two tools work perfectly together and yet there are very few articles and videos on the subject! In this talk, we look at the best strategies for getting these tools to work together to improve the software delivery supply chain. We’ll look at admission hooks, sync waves, and other ways to ensure your applications and clusters are always running in a secure and safe manner. Including example files and reference repos.
