About the Talks
Building a Kubernetes Distribution From Scratch: Lessons From an Official Distribution Journey
What does it take to build a Kubernetes distribution from the ground up? In this session, we'll explore the journey of creating Canonical's Kubernetes distribution, diving into the technical challenges, strategic decisions, and key lessons learned—insights that apply to any distribution or open-source project.
We'll break down the fundamentals: What exactly is a Kubernetes distribution? How do they differ, and what do they entail? From managing cluster state to release automation and documentation, we'll cover the critical components that shape a production-ready distribution.
By the end of this talk, you'll have a clear understanding of what goes into building and maintaining a Kubernetes distribution, along with the essential factors that set one apart from another.
Talk 2: The missing Puzzles to Unify Polyglot Services on Kubernetes
Imagine a world where Kubernetes itself becomes the unified platform—not just for container orchestration, but for serverless functions, microservices, and the entire API ecosystem. This presentation explores the missing architectural pieces required to make that world a reality. We focus on the architectural puzzles required to unify these layers: serverless functions, specialized Kubernetes Operators, and the powerful Aggregation API layer. By solving these integration puzzles, you can empower development teams to build real Cloud-Native nanoservices, microservices, and REST APIs on the same PaaS, in any language they choose, turning Kubernetes from a simple orchestrator into a powerful, opinionated application platform.
