Nuno, Bridget, and Joe

We’re discussing how we wish you were here at #KCDRomandie, @squillace.bsky.social - @nunix.bsky.social and @joelaha.bsky.social say hi!💕

Sarah on stage

In an open source community, things grow to look like the people that are most active. Ross Gardler

Sarah closing her talk.

Trust in open source communities: figuring out where humans connect (not just companies and tools.)

Whom do we trust? Trust requires context and judgement.💯

Cluster API overview

Virtual Kubelet overview

Takeaways about the integration.

Michele Gazzetti & Michele Tagliani discussed using ClusterAPI beyond just Kubernetes (using Virtual Kubelet).

#KCDRomandie

Bridget, Joe, Jess, and Sarah.

Right after @jess.dev keynoted at #KCDRomandie, with me, @joelaha.bsky.social, and @sarahnovotny.com. 💕

Auth complexity iceberg.

Building access control with K8s.

Flexibility in auth frontends with a unified backend.

Much interesting work in conditional authorization for Kubernetes as explained by @luxas.dev. Check out the KEP:

Tiny containers, big problems

Mario on stage

Welcome to cern! (With the debugging container)

What should be in a container? In theory, only your app and its dependencies. @bavarianbidi.bsky.social from Mercedes Benz points out that we also need to debug (and not deal with CVEs - just our errors). Let’s attach a debugging container to a running pod! github.com/bavarianbidi...

#KCDRomandie

Jess keynoting at KCD CERN.

Top incidents and takeaways: change safely, status visibility, new mistakes only!

Working in CAD hardware, @jess.dev realized she wanted the config-as-code from software (so she built it!)

Of course, this means interesting new outages to learn from. One of their values at Zoo is “new mistakes only”.😹 #KCDRomandie

Enrica Porcari, first CIO at CERN.

“CERN has a long history of pushing boundaries; we were doing big data before big data was a thing.” Enrica Porcari, first CIO at CERN.

Cloud native infrastructure is key to CERN’s operation as they contribute to and co-create the next generation of scientific computing. #KCDRomandie

LEIR system at CERN.

Bridget and Joe with part of the decommissioned LINAC 2.

If a key is missing, the system is shut down automatically.

Risks include radiation and birds. (Apparently pigeons try to enter CERN research spaces and cause trouble!)

And then to CERN! Love hearing about all the systems scaling from #KCDRomandie organizers!

Leaving Minneapolis now! Looking forward to seeing folks at #KCDRomandie. 💕
