| Scaling Multi-cluster Kubernetes at Teleport Cloud | Stephen Levine | 26m |
Runs a dedicated Teleport per customer across six regions, handling over 10,000 pods and 100,000 reverse tunnels; migrated from gravity to EKS and uses Route… | ||
| Accessibility Testing 101 | Erissa Duvall | 56m |
Claims that shifting accessibility testing left and involving people with disabilities catches most problems early, and that automated tools only find about… | ||
| Empowering Kubernetes Workloads with GraphQL | Akshay Bhat | 18m |
Claims that GraphQL eliminates overfetching, supports mutations and real-time subscriptions, and reduces API sprawl are demonstrated with Hasura on Kubernetes… | ||
| Applying DevOps practices in Data and ML Engineering | Antoni Ivanov | 26m |
Argues that data and ML need the same DevOps rigor as apps and demonstrates an open source stack to get there: Versatile Data Kit (SDK + control service) that… | ||
| Introduction to Ambient Mesh | Abdel Sghiouar | 23m |
Ambient Mesh replaces per-pod sidecars with a per-node proxy and a per-namespace proxy to avoid restarting workloads and cut overhead: a z-tunnel (Rust)… | ||
| Kubernetes for the Virtualization Admin | Julia Furst Morgado | 20m |
Compares virtualization to containers and shows how Kubernetes replaces VM workflows with an API‑driven control plane using kube-apiserver and etcd, node… | ||
| M9sweeper, the Open Source Kubernetes Security Platform | Jacob Beasley | 47m |
Open source platform m9sweeper bundles and runs real tools against clusters with a UI and Helm charts, automating audits and policy enforcement. It runs… | ||
| Secure your Microservices with ZeroTrust approach | Jonathan Vila | 46m |
Shows that zero trust enforces identity on every service call and can be added without changing app code by inserting Istio + Envoy sidecars into a Kubernetes… | ||
| K8s Troubleshooting Demystified: Five Best Practices | Maria Ashby | 18m |
Kubernetes troubleshooting becomes a shared, automated workflow using Botkube: centralized alerts from Events and Prometheus into Slack/Teams/Discord… | ||
| Who broke the build? Use Kuttl to improve E2E tests | Ram Mohan Rao Chukka | 31m |
KUTTL provides a YAML declarative framework to run end-to-end tests locally using KUTTL, kind (via startKind: true), Docker Desktop and kubectl, producing… | ||
| Simplify Network Services with Ballerina | Anuruddha Liyanarachchi | 29m |
A small HTTP service accepts an IP path parameter, calls ip-api and a weather API, extracts latitude/longitude, and returns aggregated JSON with temperature… | ||
| Git Sh*t Done, the GitOps Way | Frederic Harper | 25m |
Claims Git becomes the immutable source of truth, CI stays for builds while CD agents pull declarative YAML and continuously reconcile cluster state. Demo… | ||
| Observability Ecosystem in Kubernetes | Jhonnatan Gil Chaves | 46m |
Claims that instrumentation via OpenTelemetry plus collectors lets teams swap backends without code changes and demonstrates it by deploying an OpenTelemetry… | ||
| Go from Kubernetes YAML to software engineer with CDK8s | Robert Hoffmann | 33m |
CDK8s converts language-native code (TypeScript/Python/Go/Java) into plain Kubernetes YAML via cdk8s synth, generating manifests that deploy with kubectl apply… | ||
| Closing the Developer Experience Gap of K8s Development | Edidiong Asikpo | 26m |
Kubernetes development suffers a slower inner loop—iterations drop from about 70 to 14 once code must be containerized, pushed and deployed. Telepresence is a… | ||

Demo provisions a Kind cluster with Docker and the Knative client, installs Knative Serving plus the lightweight networking layer, and deploys a hello service… | ||
| Ambient Mesh: new sidecar less & faster Istio for zero trust | Md Azmal | 42m |
Claims a sidecarless Istio that keeps mTLS and policy control by splitting L4 and L7: a lightweight ztunnel (Rust) handles mTLS, L4 auth and encapsulates… | ||
