Demo Roundup: PagerDuty Operations Cloud for Kubernetes

In this demo, Corbin Mills shows how to use the PagerDuty Operations Cloud to streamline and automate how a node failure is resolved. You’ll see how he uses event orchestration (in PagerDuty AIOps) to enrich an alert with pod names, and automatically runs a job to check the Kube API status, so that a responder has instant context. AIOps is also grouping and suppressing alerts. Then you’ll see how the responder can run more health status checks without the need to SSH into the environment or interrupt a co-worker for access.

cert-manager can do SPIFFE? - Civo Navigate NA 2023

Ashley Davis, Senior Software Engineer and Maintainer of cert-manager, discusses the capabilities of cert-manager, an easy way to manage certificates in Kubernetes clusters. Ashley highlights the importance of Trust-manager for managing trust bundles, enabling clients to verify certificate legitimacy. Additionally, he explores the potential of using x509 certificates as a universal identity control plane in distributed systems through the concept of "SPIFFE" (Secure Production Identity Framework For Everyone).
