Talk 1: Boy, That Escalated Quickly - From Microsegmentation to More Than 150 Gateways with OpenShift and Cilium Enterprise
At the outset, the task seemed surprisingly clear: microsegmentation. Workloads were to receive only the connections they genuinely required, while individual ingress permissions needed to be controllable in a targeted manner.
Add a bit of ClusterMesh, transport encryption, and further requirements for controllable entry points, and the security initiative evolved into a Gateway API landscape with more than 150 gateways.
This is a field report based on working with Cilium Enterprise and OpenShift on-premises in a historically evolved, regulated environment.
Talk 2: Running Your Most Sensitive Workloads in the Cloud: An Introduction to Confidential Computing
We encrypt data at rest and in transit. But what about while it is being processed, and how much do we really need to trust our cloud provider? Confidential computing aims to reduce that trust by protecting workloads even from parts of the underlying infrastructure. In this talk, we’ll explore the basics, common deployment fallbacks, key attack vectors, and real-world use cases. We’ll also look at which trust assumptions confidential computing removes and which ones still remain.
