Networking

Who have I talked to today, are there any follow-ups or learnings?

Operator Framework

  • We talked about the operator lifecycle manager
  • They shared the roadmap and the new release 1.0 will bring support for Operator Bundle loading from any OCI source (no more public-registry enforcement)

Flux

Cloud foundry/Paketo

  • We mostly had some smalltalk
  • There will be a cloud foundry day in Karlsruhe in October, they’d be happy to have us there
  • The whole KORFI (Cloud foundry on Kubernetes) Project is still going strong, but no release candidate yet (or in the near future)

Traefik

Note

They will follow up

  • We mostly talked about traefik hub as an API-portal

Postman

  • I asked them about their new cloud-only stuff: They will keep their direction
  • They are also planning to work on info materials on why postman SaaS is not a big security risk

Mattermost

Note

I should follow up

  • I talked about our problems with the Mattermost operator and was asked to get back to them with the errors
  • They’re currently migrating the Mattermost cloud offering to arm - therefor arm support will be coming in the next months
  • The Mattermost guy had exactly the same problems with notifications and read/unread using element

Vercel

  • Nice guys, talked a bit about convincing customers to switch to the edge
  • Also talked about policy validation

Renovate

  • The paid renovate offering now includes build failure estimation
  • I was told not to buy it after telling the technical guy that we just use build pipelines as MR verification

Cert manager

  • The best swag (judged by coolness points)

Upwind

Note

They will follow up with a quick demo

  • A Kubernetes security/runtime security solution with pretty nice looking urgency filters
  • Includes eBPF to see what code actually runs
  • I’ll witness a demo in early/mid April

Isovalent

  • Dinner (very tasty)
  • Cilium still sounds like the way to go in regard to CNIs
