Sponsored Session: Solving for the Cloud Native Security Paradox - Robert Sirchia, SUSE

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

When we talk about the risks associated with containers in the context of enterprise workloads, there are various factors that come into play - multiple vendors and individuals, lack of standardization and conformance, tooling fatigue and of course, vulnerabilities! While the SLSA framework and OCI specification are great signals of your risk posture and conformance, how do you as a developer ensure that you're following best practices while staying up-to-date with the latest releases? In this session, learn how SUSE's Base Container Images empower you to build enterprise-ready containers without compromising on developer experience, security, or flexibility.

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.

Sponsored Session: InstructLab: Applying Open Source Methods to Building and Training Large Language Models - Martin Hickey, IBM

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

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

Several open models of varying size, quality, and performance have been released over the past twelve months. We have recently announced InstructLab, a project that allows contribution of skills to an existing model without the need to fully fork and fine-tune. This project establishes an upstream community built on contributing acceptance workflows for models. This exciting technology aims to make open source AI more approachable. In this session we'll explain how communities and individuals can contribute domain knowledge to models incrementally, in a unified and open way, while reducing model variations and resulting in an improved version by augmenting what’s already there.

Sponsored Session: How to Make Your First Contribution to a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Project - Daniel Krook, Cloud Native Computing Foundation

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

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) hosts nearly 200 open source projects that provide the foundation for critical global technology infrastructure. Originally focused on containers, service meshes, and microservices, the CNCF ecosystem now also includes projects around AI training and inference, serverless functions, Wasm runtimes, and other emerging technologies.

With so many interesting projects at different stages of maturity (on a scale from Sandbox to Incubating to Graduated), it’s a great place to get started with open source. But where should you begin? Fortunately, the CNCF community offers many ways for new contributors to get involved, whether you write code or consider yourself non-technical.

After this session, you’ll understand the CNCF ecosystem of projects and the various programs in place to help you get started. From the Zero to Merge initiative, to local KCD events worldwide, to online webinars and more, you’ll find welcoming support to help you make your first open source contribution.

Sponsored Session: Application Security is a Community Effort - Fernando Diaz, GitLab

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

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

GitLab's mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers the world. That software must be secure.
Open source plays a crucial role in addressing security risk through transparency and community efforts. By having source code publicly available, a wider community from various different background can inspect, identify, and fix vulnerabilities in a timely manner.

Other open source practices help increase security, too. Things like:

Collaborative Verification
Security Auditing
Security tool Development
Contributions to security initiatives
Vulnerability Reporting and Resolution
Education and Best Practices

Using examples of these practices from GitLab and other open source projects, let's talk about how we can move open source security forward together.

Innovating in Open Source in Your Enterprise - Daniel Doubrovkine, Amazon Web Services

Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST

Room 1.31-1.32 (Level 1)

When widely adopted open-source projects get relicensed, engineering organizations that rely on that code feel the pain. But when the communities behind these projects create a fork to preserve the availability of an open-source alternative, those engineering teams gain a unique opportunity to step up and help drive the technology forward. In this talk, you’ll learn how developers and engineers can support open-source projects and lead innovation with an enterprise organization, based on experiences from the OpenSearch Project team at Amazon Web Services.
