We are pleased to bring you two talks this time. This event will be held in the offices of our sponsor Moro Technology, 28is Oktovriou 5, Omonia square, Stoa Trikoupi.

1st talk: GitOps and the Argonauts

Abstract: In this session we will be talking about the quest of a young prince, to the “Golden Configuration” to restore his family’s throne. As soon as he finds a trusted team to approve, he summons a great ship builder called CI, hops on that ship to go to the island of Workflows, down to the safe passage of Promotion Tooling, survive the deadly attack of the six-armed guardians of the quality gates, finish the three labors to move across environments and finally make it to the Golden Configuration.

Presenter: Stavros is currently working as a SRE at Elastic. He is part of the Engineering Productivity organization and his role is to create workflows that improve developers’ experience within Elastic. He has a wide breadth of experience from frontend (javascript/css) to backend (python,go) to infrastructure (VMs, kubernetes, network automation) which helps him understand the needs of the developers of every part of the stack. He’s a father of two and loves nature, hiking, cycling, playing music, cooking, baking and in general starting things from scratch, woodworking and countless other things that are usually left unfinished.

2nd talk: Gateway API, next gen ingress and routing

Abstract: This talk will dive deep into the new Gateway API in Kubernetes, that reached GA recently and represents the next evolution for routing and ingress in Kubernetes, extending and improving with a better security model over the ingress API. We will demo how to get traffic into a cluster with HTTPRoute and TLSRoute, how to secure it with certificates and how to integrate Gateway API with Service Meshes (the GAMMA initiative).

Presenter: I’m Alessandro, a software engineer and developer advocate living in Amsterdam, former Red Hat, Microsoft and Solo.io, currently building the next big thing (kubespaces.io) and in my spare time as trainer for all things Cloud Native & Kubernetes. I organize the Dutch Kubernetes Meetup and Kubernetes Community Days Amsterdam.
