Dude, Where’s My Error?: How OpenTelemetry Records Errors, and Why It Does It Like That - Adriana Villela, ServiceNow Cloud Observability & Reese Lee, New Relic

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)

When an app crashes or throws an exception, these errors are not just useful, but vital, to record. However: * How an error is visualized in a backend may not be where you think it’ll be, or how you expect it to look. * Only looking at errors could mean you’re missing out on understanding your system holistically, including other failures that may be causing user dissatisfaction. In this session, Adriana & Reese will examine errors using OpenTelemetry (OTel). They will discuss how OTel records errors, how to enhance spans with metadata to streamline troubleshooting, and explore the distinction between errors and exceptions. They'll also look at how the same error is visualized in different backends, and teach about the different span kinds and how they affect error reporting. Attendees will be empowered to navigate the complexities of error handling in their software applications by leveraging OTel’s capabilities to better understand how things are working (or not) in their apps.

Sponsored Session: Confidential Computing - New Capabilities for New Workloads - Mike Bursell, Confidential Computing Consortium

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

Can you use Confidential Computing to make your compute loads
confidential? Well, yes, but that's missing much of the point.
Confidential Computing combines hardware-based security features with
cryptographic assurances about applications and data, allowing you to
do new things with new types of workloads. In this session, we'll
explore how hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments, backed by
remote attestation, allow you to track provenance, combine the security
features offered by CPUs and GPUs and create multi-party collaborative
applications where nobody (fully) needs to trust each other.

Join to find out more about Confidential Computing and:
- Gen AI
- Web3
- multi-party computation
- and much more.

This is very much an open session, with questions welcome throughout,
so come and find out all you want to know about Confidential Computing
now and in the future.

Evolving GitOps: Harnessing Kubernetes Resource Model for 5G Core - Ashan Senevirathne & Joel Studler, Swisscom

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST

Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)

In the forefront of 5G deployment, Swisscom leads by evolving GitOps through the adoption of the Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM), setting a new standard for dynamic configuration management and abstraction in 5G core networks. This strategic enhancement leverages the strengths of GitOps while introducing the flexibility and scalability of Kubernetes, aiming for increased deployment agility and operational efficiency. Our initiative extends Kubernetes API by integrating with custom Kubernetes Operators, alongside CI/CD advancements through Flux, to refine and empower GitOps practices. This talk will delve into our journey of merging GitOps with KRM, showcasing the transformative impact on 5G network operations, from increased reliability to seamless automation. Join us to explore how Kubernetes is reshaping the future of network management and GitOps methodologies.

Panel Discussion: Do One Thing, and Do It Well: Special Purpose OSes Apply the Unix App Philosophy to the Whole OS - Danielle Tal, Microsoft; Mauro Morales, Spectro Cloud; Felipe Huici, Unikraft GmbH; Frederic Crozat, SUSE; Erik Nordmark, Zededa

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST

Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)

Our BoF panel features representatives of popular, highly specialized Linux distributions like Kairos, Flatcar, Eve, BottleRocket, Unikraft, SUSE MicroOS, and others. After a brief introduction we will open a discussion with the audience about the purpose, and limits, of special-purpose operating systems, on operational challenges, and on differences to general purpose operating systems. Discussions may include a wide variety of topics our audience is interested in discussing, e.g. opportunities to improve operations reliability and security, developing and operating cloud-native workloads, workload isolation, and trusted/measured boot.

Cloud Native Threat Intelligence for Everyone - Constanze Roedig, Tobias Grantner, Lukas Mahler & Josef Taha, Technische Universität Wien

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST

Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)

Accurate and current threat intelligence data plays a vital role in threat modelling, as we can learn about what attackers are doing in the wild, and how likely certain attack paths are to be exploited. Whilst open source threat intelligence does exist, it is often ‘event-based’, focusing on historical incidents of attackers using particular techniques to exploit specific vulnerabilities. However, what if we want to quantify our own threat models, which may involve chaining together many such attack vectors? The Kubernetes Storm Centre is a newly established open source initiative that aims to provide a framework for independent quantification of cloud native attack paths, with contributing organisations running diverse ‘honey-clusters’ and sharing their results with a central hub for the world to freely consume. In this session, we will discuss the progress made by the project so far, share our initial results and insights, and explain how interested parties can contribute.
