Lessons Learned Evolving K8s Extensions: The Future Of Tekton Pipelines - Lee Bernick, Google

When extending Kubernetes, how do you map extensions to Kubernetes resources? You may have heard of Tekton, a cloud native CI/CD framework built with Kubernetes CRDs. Today, the specification of a Tekton resource is tightly coupled to its execution in Kubernetes. A Step is run in a Container, a Task is run in a Pod, and a Pipeline is run in a set of Pods. This coupling introduces challenges including optimizing resources, moving data through Pipelines, and distributing workloads. Users need more flexibility.
In this talk, you’ll hear lessons learned from decoupling Tekton resources from their execution in Kubernetes. In particular, Tekton is experimenting with allowing entire Pipelines to be executed in a Pod. We’ll demonstrate how executing a Pipeline in a Pod can improve execution times and the user experience of passing data through a Pipeline. You’ll also hear about challenges we’ve encountered along the way, and gain clarity on the future of Tekton Pipelines.

Microservice Supply Chain and the Ortelius Application SBOMs - Tracy Ragan, DeployHub

One of the new requirements under the Biden Administrations’ executive order on improving Cybersecurity is the requirement to provide purchasers a software bill of material (SBOM) for each software solution. But what is a software solution? Is it just a single microservice or is it a collection of microservices? In this presentation, you will learn how Ortelius aggregates an application-level SBOM by tracking the microservices, with versions, that it uses. This level of reporting is important to show what the ‘logical’ application is consuming, its vulnerabilities, and all transitive libraries and services it consumes. While this may be easy to create in a monolithic architecture, creating these higher-order SBOMs at the application level is difficult. The Ortelius catalog simplifies the process for every ‘logical’ application version released.

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Continuous Software Delivery using Jenkins, Spinnaker and Terraform Cloud on Amazon EKS - Irshad A Buchh & Paul Roberts, Amazon Web Services

Customers running microservices-based applications on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) are looking for guidance on architecting complete end-to-end CI and CD pipelines using Jenkins and Spinnaker. Jenkins is a very popular CI server with great community support and many plugins (Slack, GitHub, Docker, Build Pipeline) available. Spinnaker provides automated release, built-in deployment, and supports blue/green deployment out of the box. This talk will explore configuration of Jenkins on Amazon EC2 using Terraform Cloud. Irshad shall also discuss the creation of Spinnaker pipelines, a combination of stages that enable powerful coordination for Continuous Software Delivery. These pipelines can be started manually or can be automatically triggered by an event, such as a new Docker image appearing in the Docker registry.

Making your CI/CD Pipelines Speaking in Tongues with OpenTelemetry - Ivan Fernandez Calvo & Victor Martinez, Elastic

Building and delivering software faster and better gained a different meaning with the introduction of pipeline-based technologies like Jenkins. Today, developers can automate the whole software development lifecycle by programmatically implementing build, testing, and deployment to achieve development agility. While this is great on the one hand, it poses an important question to be answered: what if the pipeline has a bug? For this reason, pipeline maintainers ought to have a strategy in place capable of verifying the pipeline code's accuracy, correctness, and reliability. Luckily for us, Jenkins allows this by providing a plugin compatible with OpenTelemetry — a technology that grants developers the ability to evaluate their code using an observability backend. This session will explain how this works and demonstrate how to get value from this.

Repurposed Purpose: Using git's DAG for Supply Chain Artifact Resolution - Ed Warnicke, Cisco

What if we could know the complete and reproducible artifact tree for every binary, shared object, container, etc (including all dependencies) and you could efficiently cross-reference that against a database of known vulnerabilities before you deploy? If you had had that information, could you have remediated Log4Shell faster? Might it even help open source maintainers identify at-risk dependencies sooner? In this talk, Aeva and Ed will share why they're so excited about GitBOM and explain what it is (hint: it's not git and it's not an SBOM). If the demo gods are willing, they will show you how you can generate a GitBOM with a simple command-line tool, and explain why you won't have to. Finally, if you want to add support for GitBOM to your favorite tool or language, this talk will give you enough information to get started.

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Abusing CI/CD - Top Ways to Reach Production - Omer Gil, Cider Security

CI/CD pipelines are becoming one of the most exploited paths into internal and production systems by attackers, as there are a growing number of vectors that can be manipulated to gain access that are often times still left completely exposed, despite being well-known. From unexpected webhooks requests, to bypassing branch protection rules, through more complex attack scenarios like Poisoned Pipeline Execution - attackers have found that CI/CD is a quick way to invoke malicious attacks on production code. This talk will walk you through common attack vectors in CI/CD pipelines - ones you’re probably aware of, and ones that require more attention and research, and some of the ways you can harden your systems to prevent unwanted access to your sensitive internal data. Real-world attack scenarios will be showcased as part of the session.

[VIRTUAL SESSION] How we Build CI/CD Observability with OpenTelemetry - Michael Friedrich, GitLab

CI/CD Pipelines are blocked, resources are drained, and the cloud invoice for the deployment is going wild - where do you start analysing and troubleshooting? One look leads into the CI/CD pipeline: Next to the job runs, which preparation steps happen, how many context switches are encountered, and which step is actually causing the problems?

Logs and metrics help to see the bigger picture, collecting the job and pipeline execution times, or fetch times for resources. Traces with spans provide more context on executed jobs, enriched with troubleshooting metadata. It is not always DNS, sometimes it’s also the slow IO cache …

Join this talk to learn how we build CI/CD Observability with OpenTelemetry in GitLab. You can learn more about the architecture challenges, implementation approaches, and performance scaling requirements for SaaS platforms.

Lightning Talk:Technical Documentation is like a Jigsaw Puzzle - Ember Stevens, LaunchDarkly

Assembling a jigsaw puzzle is a combination of science and art. There is a method to sorting the pieces, assembling the frame, and completing sections in a logical progression. Much like staring at a pile of 500 unsorted cardboard puzzle pieces, the blank page can be overwhelming when trying to write technical documentation. Where do you start? What should you focus on? What do your readers even need to know? Documenting your work is an essential part of the development lifecycle, but if you don’t write regularly as part of your job, it can feel daunting. Luckily, there are established methodologies you can lean on whether you’re trying to make sense of your puzzle pieces or write down how your code works. This talk will explore what Ember has learned from assembling countless jigsaw puzzles over the years and how it applies to writing technical documentation.

Reducing Deployment Risks with Progressive Automated Canary and Spinnaker in a Regulated Environment - Carlos Martini, Vanguard

We've all been there: we've spend countless hours creating automated tests and manually testing new functionality to ensure our applications work well only to have production users use our system in unexpected ways and break the application. So how can we reduce risks even further when deploying to production? And how do we do this in a highly regulated environment? Progressive automated canary allows us to slowly and, more importantly, automatically ramp up production traffic to a new version. This talk will not only focus on how to setup progressive automated canary using Spinnaker, but on how to do it in a way where large and highly regulated companies can meet their regulatory requirements. We'll dive into using pipeline templates and different stage types to provide consistent deployments, meet custom regulation requirements, and integrate with change management systems.

Opentelemetry and Your Tests - Manuel de la Pena, Elastic

Test data is a gold mine that is rarely explored when discussing software quality and best development practices. Tens of thousands of tests might be executed in your CI pipelines everyday, generating a massive amount of data for you effortlessly. Right now, this data is lying around without producing you any value, but what if you could harness this data to accomplish something? If used correctly, you could be able to, for example, detect test flakiness, notify the right people on failures, and much more. All you have to do is capture this data and turn it into insight using an instrumentation layer. You can add this layer on top of the jUnit de-facto standard for test reports. By doing this, you'll be able to send traces and metrics to a backend using another standard, OpenTelemetry, and explore that information from there in whatever manner it is helpful for your interest.

Lightning Talk: Continuous Delivery…except for Database Changes - Robert Reeves, Liquibase

Too often, when we speak of continuous delivery, we omit database changes. Those are handled by another team, another process. As we continue accelerating application releases, the pain of database change delivery becomes more acute. Robert will discuss how we got into this mess and how we should embrace our database friends to bring them to the DevOps party.

Lightning Talk: Understanding DevOps Through the Lenses of Ancient Philosophy - Christoffer Vig, CoWork

The agile and devops movements have become “the way” to run a business and develop software today. Both agile and devops spring out from some previous insights, and build upon certain important principles. I would like to analyze these in the light of ancient philosphy. What would Aristotle say?

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Lightning Talk: Safe to Fail Continuous Delivery Culture - Sylvia Lobo, Digital14

Building a new software product and deploying it in Cloud is a highly innovative and creative process. Things simply don't go to plan all the time, setbacks and failures are inevitable along the way. What makes a difference is how a team deals with them. Each failure is an opportunity to reassess, make a change and try a different approach. In order to succeed, testing teams must become resilient to failure. They must focus on the learning outcomes that they present.

Leading DevOps Transformation with Gamification - Ravi Devineni, Northwestern Mutual

With many organizations making a pivot to DevOps mindset, it is imperative that we measure progress on that journey. At Northwestern Mutual, we wanted to chart our journey and demonstrate our progress throughout. As a part of that we developed a gamification process which leverages data from various Devops tools in the tool chain and aggregates it into dashboards to provide visibility on current state and trending over time. In this session, I’ll show you what types of metrics we captured and how this process can drive improvements at your organization.

Shipwright - What Happened in our First Year as a CDF Project - Sascha Schwarze & Enrique Encalada, IBM

Shipwright (https://shipwright.io) is a framework for declaring and executing container image builds in a Kubernetes cluster. It provides a pluggable architecture where common tools such as BuildKit, Buildah, or Buildpacks can be used in build strategies; and users define their build configurations based on them. In this talk we will give a quick introduction into the project. We'll describe how easy the installation has become with Shipwright being installable through OperatorHub. We'll see live how our new command-line interface makes it more convenient to get the first build going, and how it enables you to build from code that is on your local machine. Finally, we'll take a tour through a variety of new features in the backend that empower you to build more and secure images. Finally, we'll give an outlook on what's coming next.

Merge Strategies at Scale: Developer Happiness Through Better Code-submission Workflows - Ankit Jain, Aviator Technologies

Code-submission processes can highly impact developer productivity, especially as engineering teams scale and codebase complexity grows. Often, teams that work on a monorepo struggle with keeping their main branch stable, especially as the number of engineers merging changes (and consequently, the number of code-submissions per day) grows. This happens because incompatibilities emerge when multiple changes are combined, causing builds to break frequently. Poly-repo setups present their own challenges: synchronizing merges when changes span multiple repositories, rolling back related changes across repos, and testing across multiple build/test pipelines can become coordination time-sinks for developers. This talk will feature a distillation of various merge strategies that help teams scale, and their associated developer-productivity trade offs.

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Continuous Delivery and InnerSource - Why you Should be Doing Both - Tom Sadler & Steph Egan, BBC

Continuous Delivery and InnerSource are two software engineering practices that aim to increase quality and break down organisational barriers. It may come as no surprise, then, that these practices can really compliment each other. Continuous Delivery makes InnerSource contributions seamless, and gives contributors confidence in the stability of the project. Continuous Delivery tooling is often a good candidate for InnerSource because it solves common problems, and allows consumers to contribute features they require for their specific use cases. This case study of BBC iPlayer & Sounds looks at how InnerSource projects are Continuously Delivered, how Continuous Delivery tooling is opened up to collaboration via InnerSource, and what impact this has.

Expanding Interoperability in the CD Ecosystem - Ishan Khare, Loft Labs & Mauricio Salatino, VMware

Building an inclusive ecosystem where you can connect different tools built using different technologies and languages is hard, as different tools tend to promote different protocols and similar but not the same architectural patterns. This presentation focuses on the CDEvents initiative led by the SIG-Events Working Group at the CD Foundation. During this presentation a new use case will be presented showing how tools like Knative, Tekton and Crossplane can work together by just relying on CDEvents, no custom libraries, no forced protocols, just a standard and reactive way to interconnect disparate systems that were created by different communities with different purposes. We have a demo in place that we're working on and would like to present it demonstrating the whole flow end-to-end.

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery Pipelines for Beginners and Managers - Ann Marie Fred, Red Hat

If you keep hearing about Continuous Integration or Continuous Delivery, but you don’t know what these CI/CD Pipelines really do, this is the talk for you. We’ll run through a series of tasks or steps that are commonly handled by CI/CD pipelines. For each, we’ll see what the task does, why it’s important, what inputs and outputs are involved, and what side effects to expect. If you already use CI/CD, this talk could inspire you to do more, especially in the realm of DevSecOps and compliance automation. Build your CI/CD foundational knowledge based on shared vocabulary from the CD Foundation Interoperability SIG!

[VIRTUAL SESSION] Jenkins 2022 and Beyond? - Oleg Nenashev, Dynatrace

Is the Butler Still Young? Maybe not but it is still one of the most popular automation tools. Jenkins in 2022 is not Jenkins in 2012. It keeps evolving to address demands from its users and contributors: pipeline as code, configuration as code, better support for cloud environments, UX, etc. We are looking forward to the next major iteration in Jenkins evolution. So what’s next for it? I will focus on the current challenges for Jenkins. What does need to change in the project and the community to keep it relevant? We will talk about revitalizing the community and attracting new company contributors, consolidating user experiences, and reusing experiences of BlueOcean and Jenkins X? We will also talk about interoperability with other projects, making Tekton a first class citizen Pipeline engine, and making Jenkins available everywhere regardless of CI/CD system you actually use.
