In any Cloud Native architecture there’s a seemingly endless stream of events that happen at each layer. These events can be used to detect abnormal activity and possible security incidents, as well as providing an audit trail of activity.
In this talk we’ll cover how we extended Falco to ingest events beyond just host system calls, such as Kubernetes audit events or even application level events. We will also show how to create Falco rules to detect behaviors in these new event streams. We show how we implemented Kubernetes audit events in Falco, and how to configure the event stream.
Kafka Mirror Tester: Go and Kubernetes Powered Test Suite for Kafka Replicati...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Inspired by the Jepsen series of database test suites I created kafka-mirror-tester, a cross-Atlantic automated test suite for Kafka mirroring using Golang and Kubernetes. There, I said k8s, need I say more?
Join me to learn how k8s solves database automation tasks and Go drives those tests.
Kubernetes was originally targeted for running large scale web applications.
I/O intensive workload represents a class of high-end applications such as network services, trading applications, database services that require high-speed access to hardware resources and often users specific hardware or CPU features to maximize their performance.
Service meshes are all the buzz in cloud-native world.
How come only yesterday we didn't know such a thing existed and now everybody seems to want one?
If you're already running a microservice-based system or only starting out with one, you may be asking yourself : "Do I also need a mesh?"
In this session we'll try to answer what the mesh is good for, what problem it solves, what new questions it poses.
Devices on the edge are highly varied in hardware and capabilities, even within the same technology space. Knowing that, how do we design an efficient, scalable, and reliable solution for updating the software on these devices, all while minimizing downtime for the user?
Kubernetes, Knative, serverless, cloud databases, authentication APIs, SMS APIs, payment APIs. Building a SaaS product is exciting, and we have so many tools that help build a cloud-native application, but this also introduces so many design choices we should consider.
If you are interested in monitoring, and successfully set up a system (whether home-grown or custom-off-the-shelf) for your own use, there comes a moment when you go from monitoring only the systems you care about, to monitoring systems that other people care about. Monitoring for yourself is all about having the best data for the least effort. Monitoring for others? That's when your job becomes a game of "what just happened" whack-a-mole.

Running Highly Available Large Scale Systems is a lot of work. For the past 2.5 years, we've been running 100% serverless on a full production environment, serving customers worldwide. No VMs, no containers, no Kubernetes. Just code.
In this session I will present why we decided to go fully serverless at Torii, how it helped us move faster than our competitors, where did serverless computing worked best and where there's more work to be done.
12 Factor Serverless Applications - Mike Morain, AWS - Cloud Native Day Tel A...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
The “Twelve-Factor” application model has come to represent twelve best practices for building modern, cloud-native applications. With guidance on things like configuration, deployment, runtime, and multiple service communication, the Twelve-Factor model prescribes best practices that apply to everything from web applications to APIs to data processing applications. Although Serverless computing and AWS Lambda have changed how application development is done, the “Twelve-Factor” best practices remain relevant and applicable in a Serverless world. In this talk, we’ll apply the “Twelve-Factor” model to Serverless application development with AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway and show you how these services enable you to build scalable, low cost, and low administration applications.
Not my problem! Delegating responsibilities to the infrastructure - Yshay Yaa...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
When creating a new Microservice you typically need to add a lot of boilerplate to the code, such as logging, metrics, authentication, SSL, secrets/credentials, etc... All this ends up overshadowing the actual logic of the service itself and results in a lot of dependencies and code. Because of this, we at Soluto created a template for the boilerplate, which worked great...
Until we had to upgrade one of the dependencies which resulted in huge effort of code upgrades and deployment across each and every service that uses the template. And that’s besides the fact we needed to make a separate template for each language we used (and over the years, the number of programming languages we use at production increased dramatically).
We needed a way to simplify all this. We wanted to get rid of the boilerplate while maintaining the functions listed above. So we decided to delegate the entire responsibility to the Kubernetes infrastructure. In this lecture, I will do a live coding session and show you how to remove the boilerplate from your code and move it to the infrastructure, and discuss the benefits and limitations of this approach.
Brain in the Cloud: Machine Learning on OpenStack & Kubernetes Done Right - E...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Machine Learning is no doubt the hottest trend in IT nowadays. Deep Neural Network (DNN), a subfield of Machine Learning with mode of operation loosely inspired by the brain, allows us to solve complex problems such as image recognition that has been very difficult to solve using standard programming paradigms. DNN concepts are not new. However, and until recently, applying them in practice could not be realized due to their high computational demands. With the recent development in parallel computing, especially around GPU acceleration and high speed and efficient networking, DNN has become a reality in modern data centers. In this talk we will describe the system requirements to effectively run a machine learning cluster with popular frameworks such as TensorFlow. We will discuss how such a system can be deployed in an OpenStack-based cloud without compromises, enjoying high-performance DNN programming paradigm as well as the benefits of cloud and software-defined data centers.
A stateful application walks into a Kubernetes bar - Arthur Berezin, JovianX ...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Cloud native applications are commonly thought as stateless, horizontally scalable workloads that you can scale-up and down on-demand. Kubernetes, as the commodity cloud native orchestrator, was originally designed for such workloads. A lot has evolved since Kubernetes’ inception, and nowadays many of the stateful applications are migrating to Kubernetes. While not everything is perfect, more and more features are added to support complex stateful use-cases. In this session Arthur will cover the following topics:
- Breakdown of a stateful application
- Planning a stateful application on Kubernetes
- The state of Kubernetes StatefulSets, Persistent Volumes, DNS, Networking, operators and High Availability
- A practical use-case and DEMO of a stateful application with Kubernetes
I want it all: go hybrid - Orit Yaron, Outbrain - Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv 2018Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv

Distributesd Tracing in Serverless Systems - Shannon Hogue, Epsagon - Cloud N...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Serverless and FaaS naturally fit microservices architectures. Observability of such systems is very complicated, since each microservice is separated and working asynchronously from the others. Distributed tracing is a key approach to understand such systems. In serverless, there are new challenges and opportunities which make distributed tracing a very interesting and useful technique for high observability. I will go quickly over the history of distributed tracing and the most popular tools in this domain. Then, I will focus on the key differences between observability using distributed tracing in generic microservices environments compared to serverless. Examples from the popular cloud vendors will be shown, including full visualization of asynchronous transactions in a highly distributed serverless system, and detecting business flows across multiple asynchronous communication resources (e.g. SNS, Kinesis, and more).
Why cloud native envs deserve better security - Dima Stopel, Twistlock - Clou...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Traditionally, security teams have been accustomed to investigating incidents and falling back to previous code releases if they detect serious issues. With the rise of modern cloud-native applications and immutable infrastructure, however, security engineers have new solutions at their fingertips. Immutable infrastructure refers to infrastructure with components that are designed to be destroyed and replaced with new versions whenever a change is necessary. This makes immutable infrastructure different from conventional deployment technologies, in which components were typically updated while they were still running rather than being redeployed whenever a change takes place. In this session, Dima Stopel will discuss the changing security landscape and how immutable infrastructure and cloud-native technologies such as containers, can make tedious, risk-prone security workflows a thing of the past.

In the cloud native era we are constantly looking into expanding our network. SMBs are looking to get workloads running on private cloud to have seamless connectivity to workloads running on public clouds. Telcos are looking to add compute resources to the edge and extend their network from the core to the edge. In this session we will discuss use cases that are challenging our networks and what open source tools we are using to meet these challenges.

You might think taking your application to Kubernetes is easy. Just pack them in a Docker container, deploy and you're done!
In reality, the challenges of taking your existing application to the cloud native environment of Kubernetes are huge! They require changes in the way your applications behave and the way you administer them.
Do you really know how to get up and running with your existing applications in Kubernetes?
In this talk I will share my lessons learned taking JFrog's existing applications, prepping and deploying them to Kubernetes.
I'll go over some best practices of preparing your application for Kubernetes with some examples for what we did.
Building Cloud Native Data Services - Eliran Bivas, Iguazio - Cloud Native Da...Cloud Native Day Tel Aviv
Cloud is the de-facto standard for data driven applications. However, cloud provider services tend to be slow, expensive and come with potential lock-ins. With emerging open-source cloud-native orchestration tools like Kubernetes, open source data stores and serverless platforms you can build your own multi tenancy cloud data service, save costs and gain performance and portability. The session will describe how you can build an equivalent set of AWS data services with cloud agnostic tools and achieve an Amazon like experience. Present a variety of analytics tools and explain how to use Kubernetes, as well as how to handle . A lesson learned through the suffering of others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
