Ken is a distributed application engineer. Ken has worked with Fortune 500 companies to small startups in the roles of developer, designer, application architect and enterprise architect. Ken's current focus is on containers, container orchestration, high scale micro-service design and continuous delivery systems.
Ken is an international speaker on the subject of software engineering speaking at conferences such as JavaOne, JavaZone, Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS), and The Strange Loop. He is a regular speaker with NFJS where he is best known for his architecture and security hacking talks. In 2009, Ken was honored by being awarded the JavaOne Rockstar Award at JavaOne in SF, California and the JavaZone Rockstar Award at JavaZone in Oslo, Norway as the top ranked speaker.
Leading technical organizations in micro-service based architectures all use an orchestrator in their datacenter; be it Apache Mesos, Kubernetes, Tupperware, the Borg or Omega. The dominate platforms in the open source space are Kubernetes and Mesos. This session will dive deep into the core difference including: * Pod container lifecycle differences * In production scaling differences * Scheduling and orchestration management difference * Reconciliation management * Resource selection (affinity vs anti-affinity) * Service discovery This is NOT a one is better than the other smack-down. There are pro/con consequences for each orchestrator.
When architecting a critical system the *A*vailability of CAP theorem becomes the most important element. Architecture measures availability in 9s with 99.99% equating less than 1 hour of unplanned downtime. This session will focus on what it takes to get there.
The maturing of industry projects and tools around cloud development and administration has led to the formation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. This new foundation is similar to the Apache Foundation in that it provides governance over projects from incubation to maturity. These projects define the current and future standards of the cloud which is important for all devops teams to be aware of. This session is a guided at jet speed tour of each project and how it fits in the eco-system.
One of the hardest activities and strategies of DevOps team or should we say production is how to transition from one version of an application to another version of an application with cascading consequences of service dependencies. There are a number of strategies for managing this concern. In this talk, we will outline a few of them along with required conditions of the underlying infrastructure to achieve it.
There were two fatal crashes of the Boeing 737 Max in the fall of 2018 and spring of 2019 grounding the airplane world-wide and begging the question why? In the end, it comes down to software but there is much more to that story. Ken, the presenter in this session is in the unique position of being an instrument-rated private pilot and a software engineer with experience working with remote teams, both will provide insight into lessons we will learn as we peel back the details of these tragic events.
Zero fluff.
