  • 19:00 - Registration, dinner & drinks
  • 19:45 - Let’s Go Knative! by Niclas Mietz

Are you tired of the complexity of your building applications with Kubernetes? You need to add your own resources like deployment, service, ingress, config maps, secrets and many more to run your applications in Kubernetes.

Knative attempts to solve theses complexities by managing its servicing and lifecycle while providing ‘serverless’ style event-driven functions.

In this talk I’ll give you a first hands-on look to Knative with the components Serving, Eventing and it’s underlying components.

  • 20:15 - Short Break
  • 20:30 - Linux distributions in the containerized world: Why and how you should build containers on top of packaged distributions by Aleksandra Fedorova

In the talk I’d like to share the latest news from the packaged Linux distributions world (mainly Fedora), which are relevant for containerized workflows.

I will provide an introduction to Fedora Modularity feature, which provides the parallel availability of different software Fedora Minimization initiative, which is focused on cleaning up the dependency trees and reducing the system footprint.

We will discuss the downsides and benefits of using packages to build containerized environments, and how one can use buildah and podman to build lightweight containers.

About Aleksandra:
