Enabling Secure Kubernetes Multi-Tenancy with Calico Enterprise

When you have different teams interacting with a Kubernetes cluster you need to think about the security, privacy, and observability challenges associated with multi-tenancy: How to provide each team with access to the specific resources they need, in a way that allows the team to be agile, without risking impacting other teams? In this session, we’ll explore the Kubernetes multi tenancy concepts and design patterns needed for successful enablement of multi-tenancy within your Kubernetes clusters using key capabilities of Calico Enterprise.

Datadog on Serverless

The Datadog Security Platform team leverages Serverless to ingest security events across many different cloud providers, deployment platforms, and devices. These security events are then transformed and shipped to a data lake to help defend and protect the platform as a whole. Once there, these ingested events are used to drive internal investigations, create internal security alerts, and reason about security incidents.

Kubernetes GitOps with Rancher Continuous Delivery

As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale.

AWS and Grafana Labs are working together on cloud native observability

Cloud native observability is at a watershed moment. The explosion of microservices has created previously unseen amounts of monitoring data, limiting the ability of humans and computer systems to extract meaning from data with last-generation tools. Debugging is often a process of detecting correlation, and then turning correlations into causal connections. This is where modern cloud native tooling comes in.

Optical Networking / DWDM Basics

Optical networking delivers the distance, bandwidth scalability, resiliency, and manageability that broadband networks require. You're invited to a special session from Ribbon on Tuesday, December 15th where we will review optical networking technology and basics and explain how optical networks solve reachability, survivability, bandwidth growth, and maintenance challenges for broadband services. What problems do optical networks solve? What are the major piece parts and important vocabulary? What do I have to think about when deploying? Any cool stuff on the market I should be aware of?
