Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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.

storage virtualization offers a practical solution. In this webcast, you will learn what to
know and what to look for when purchasing storage virtualization. You will hear
explanations of the available approaches with advice on making an informed decision. IT
individuals looking for storage best practices should attend to gain insight in addressing

5. STORAGE LANDSCAPE OVERVIEW
Storage doesn‟t matter!
‒ IOPS, apps and ops are not the point.
Storage “tail” wagging the IT “dog”?
‒ Last bastion of awkwardness is “Ponzi storage”
Major challenges: Scale and flexibility
‒ Change inevitable
Industry consolidation and dynamics
‒ The converged, integrated, stacked, automated promise
Is storage an anchor on server virtualization?
‒ Storage through the ESG Maturity Model phases

6. WHAT TO KNOW, WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The „Assumption Gap‟
Why you even need to know (i.e. how we got here)
99% of the time a non virtualized storage
environment = a sub optimal storage environment
‒ Close to an IT „no brainer‟
Look for –
‒ Heterogeneity
‒ Commitment
‒ Proof
6
8. WHAT IS STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION?
Technology as hope!
‒ Operational fluidity and utilization efficiency
‒ The foundation to balance [absolutely] escalating storage
demands with [relatively] constrained resources
Disassociates physical hardware from system usage
‒ Part of overall virtualization (servers)
‒ Can address „Ponzi storage‟
‒ Not new or voodoo
Should be on your „to do‟ list

• Plan, plan, plan (SLAs and measurement).
• Size performance as well as capacity.
Basic
• Focus on training and best practices: to develop cross-
discipline resources (people/tools/technology).
• Choose scalable (performance / capacity) platforms–more
Progressing than “killer features”–to manage OPEX challenges.
• Focus on a) interoperability and b) integrating storage and
VM replication.
• Monitor and control and/or provision storage capacity
Advanced growth.
• Experience does not always equal ease–plan for complex
VM backup and recovery demands.
