Podcasts about gitops

On this episode of The Defense Unicorns Podcast, host Rebecca Lively chats with Case Wylie, Software Engineering Lead, about building security-minded software that keeps up with developer velocity. From his early days at Red Hat to architecting open-source tools at Defense Unicorns, Case shares how Pepr—a TypeScript-based operator framework—is redefining how Kubernetes clusters are secured and managed in airgapped environments. It's not just about enforcing policy; it's about enabling developers to move faster, safer, and smarter.Through real-world metaphors (ever been to a nightclub with strict bouncers?), Case breaks down the roles of admission controllers, operator frameworks, and how Pepr works seamlessly with GitOps without adding friction. He explains why Pepr isn't just a tool, but part of a broader movement to standardize security postures, reduce configuration drift, and empower app teams to focus on delivering real value. With a human-first API and open-source DNA, Pepr is built to be accessible to all, not just Kubernetes power users.If you're curious about what it takes to scale secure software in complex, mission-critical environments—or just want a fresh, practical take on DevSecOps—this episode delivers. Case also shares his philosophy on open-source collaboration and what it means to build tools that truly stand the test of scale and scrutiny.Key Quote:“Pepr will always be open source and the reason why it's open source is because frankly, open source software, when your software is open source, you expose the application or the software or the platform, whatever it is to exponentially more eyes and more eyes over time and then more people start adopting it and using it and saying like, ‘Hey, you know what? I do have this simple thing I always have to do in my cluster. Maybe I try Pepr for that.' Right? And then they do it with a simple task, and then they say, ‘Hey, you know what? It would be great if Pepr could do this thing. And they put in a feature request. Then we develop that feature request, or they develop it, and they submit a PR to Pepr. And now Pepr as a whole is better because now you're using it. I'm using it. They're using it. The more people that use it, the better.”Case WylieTime Stamps:(02:44) Introduction to UDS and Pepr(05:59) The Importance of Air-Gapped Environments(11:40) Understanding Kubernetes Admission Control(16:05) Comparing Pepr with Other Tools(22:00) Why Pepr Uses TypeScript(34:03) The Benefits of Open Source for Pepr(43:31) Lightning RoundLinks:Connect with Casey WylieConnect with Rebecca LivelyLearn More About Defense Unicorns

Der Mainframe ist tot, lang lebe der Mainframe!“Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”. So oder so ähnlich hieß bzw. heißt ein Sprichwort in unserer IT-Industrie. Und wenn man sowas hört, hat man oft eins im Sinn: Mainframes. Die dicken Kisten, die in jeder Bank und in jeder Versicherung stehen. Das Ganze sagt sich so schnell. Doch wissen wir wirklich, wovon wir da eigentlich sprechen?In dieser Episode klären wir was eigentlich ein Mainframe ist, was diesen so besonders macht, wie groß und teuer eine solche Maschine ist, was eine z-Architektur ist, ob Mainframes für Greenfield-Projekte genutzt werden, welche Betriebssysteme darauf laufen können, ob wir bei der Software-Entwicklung an COBOL gebunden sind oder ob Go, JavaScript, Rust und Co auch auf einem Mainframe laufen können und inwieweit wir moderne Praktiken wie GitOps, Continuous Delivery, Pre-Production-Testing und Co anwenden können.Am Ende stellen wir uns die Frage, ob der Mainframe im Zeitalter von Cloud, Kubernetes, Commodity Hardware und verteilte Systeme noch eine Rolle spielt, wie wir als Software-Entwickler mal mit der z-Architektur und dem Mainframe spielen können und was für Herausforderungen die Firmen, die heutzutage noch einen Mainframe und alten Quellcode betreiben, so haben.Bonus: Heißt es Der, die oder das Mainframe?Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

The cloud2030 Tech Ops series is an ongoing discussion for us to create what I think of as 200 level content for tech and operations leaders, exploring really complex, deep topics in a thoughtful way to really extend your knowledge base and capabilities in the data center and infrastructure space. Today's episode talks about gitops and immutability, and what we're doing here is connecting together the operational concepts between controls and desired state communications and how that gets executed in infrastructure in an operations sense. Rather than a developer approach, this takes an operations approach. So if you are interested in how to manage immutability and what that means in infrastructure, this discussion is for you.

 Deze aflevering is opgenomen tijdens de HCS Open Platform Experience 2024 in Amsterdam, waar we live in gesprek gingen over de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in Kubernetes en cloud-native technologieën. In deze aflevering van De Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast duiken Ronald Kers (CNCF Ambassador) en Jan Stomphorst (Solutions Architect bij ACC ICT) samen met Wander Boessenkool (VP Training & Content Marketing bij HCS Company) in de wereld van GitOps, Kubernetes-clusterbeheer en AI.Wander heeft jarenlang ervaring als Red Hat-instructeur en deelt zijn kennis over hoe je GitOps niet alleen voor applicatiebeheer, maar ook voor je clusters zelf inzet. Hij legt uit waarom Customize vaak een betere keuze is dan Helm en hoe je met overlays en patches je Kubernetes-omgevingen flexibel en beheersbaar houdt.Daarnaast bespreken we hoe AI zich ontwikkelt binnen Kubernetes en OpenShift, en of AI-tools zoals Lightspeed daadwerkelijk het werk van een engineer kunnen verlichten of juist meer problemen veroorzaken. Ook nemen we een nostalgische duik in de IT-geschiedenis, van de Commodore 64 tot de nieuwste Kubernetes-oplossingen.Of je nu een Kubernetes-expert bent of net begint met GitOps, deze aflevering zit vol inzichten, handige tips en een flinke dosis tech-enthousiasme!

Bret and Nirmal reunite for their traditional annual Holiday Special episode of breaking down the most significant developments in cloud native from 2024 and sharing predictions for 2025.

Or watch the video version on YouTube. Bret is joined by Willem Delbare and Roeland Delrue to discuss Aikido, a security tool consolidation platform designed specifically for smaller teams and solo DevOps practitioners. The discussion explores how Aikido addresses the growing challenges of software supply chain security by bringing together various security tools - from CVE scanning to cloud API analysis - under a single, manageable portal. Unlike enterprise-focused solutions, Aikido targets the needs of smaller teams and individual DevOps engineers who often juggle multiple responsibilities. During the episode, they demonstrate Aikido's capabilities using Bret's sample GitHub organization, and show how teams can implement comprehensive security measures without managing multiple separate tools.Be sure to check out video version of the complete show for demos, from our December 5, 2024 YouTube Live stream.★Topics★Aikido websiteAikido on BlueskyAikido on LinkedInCreators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Willem Delbare - Guest Roeland Delrue - Guest (00:00) - Intro (06:20) - Aikido Origin Story (10:32) - What Does AutoFix Mean?

Bret is joined by Shahar Azulay, Groundcover CEO and Co-Founder, to discuss their new approach to fully observe K8s and its workloads with a "hybrid observability architecture."Groundcover is a new, cloud-native, eBPF-based platform that designed a new model for how observability solutions are architected and priced. It is a product that can drastically reduce your monitoring, logging, and tracing costs and complexity, it stores all its data in your clusters and only needs one agent per host for full observability and APM. We dig into the deployment, architecture, and how it all works under the hood.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from June 27, 2024 on YouTube (Stream 272).

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Continue.dev co-founder, Nate Sesti, to walk through an open source replacement for GitHub Copilot.Continue lets you use a set of open source and closed source LLMs in JetBrains and VSCode IDEs for adding AI to your coding workflow without leaving the editor. You've probably heard about GitHub Copilot and other AI code assistants. The Continue team has created a completely open source solution as an alternative, or maybe a superset of these existing tools, because along with it being open source, it's also very configurable and allows you to choose multiple models to help you with code completion and chatbots in VSCode, JetBrains, and more are coming soon. So this show builds on our recent Ollama show. Continue uses Ollama in the background to run a local LLM for you, if that's what you want to Continue to do for you, rather than internet LLM models.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Michael Fischer of AWS to discuss why we should use Graviton, their arm64 compute with AWS-designed CPUs.Graviton is AWS' term for their custom ARM-based EC2 instances. We now have all major clouds offering an ARM-based option for their server instances, but AWS was first, way back in 2018. Fast forward 6 years and AWS is releasing their 4th generation Graviton instances, and they deliver all the CPU, networking, memory and storage performance that you'd expect from their x86 instances and beyond.I'm a big fan of ARM-based servers and the price points that AWS gives us. They have been my default EC2 instance type for years now, and I recommend it for all projects I'm working on with companies.We get into the history of Graviton, how easy it is to build and deploy containers and Kubernetes clusters that have Graviton and even two different platform types in the same cluster. We also cover how to build multi-platform images using Docker BuildKit.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from May 9, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 265).

#265: The worlds of Kubernetes and GitOps are constantly evolving, each iteration bringing us closer to a more streamlined, efficient, and powerful way of managing and deploying our software architectures. Kubernetes has become the cornerstone of container orchestration, offering an unmatched level of flexibility and scalability. Meanwhile, GitOps practices are revolutionizing how we view and implement CI/CD pipelines, emphasizing a declarative way to manage infrastructure and applications. As the Kubernetes landscape matures, clear winners in each category, such as Cilium for CNI and CertManager for certificate management, are emerging, streamlining the selection process for Kubernetes tooling. This maturation leads to a consolidation of best practices and tools, analogous to the evolution observed in Linux distributions. While diversity in tools offers flexibility, a certain level of standardization is necessary for broader adoption and ease of use. In this episode, we talk with John Dietz, CEO and Cofounder of Kubefirst, about a potential future where Kubernetes becomes an unseen yet omnipresent force in software development.   John's contact information: X (Formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/vitamindietz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jd-k8s/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/`

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Neil Cresswell and Steven Kang from Portainer to look at K2D, a new project that enables us to leverage Kubernetes tooling to manage Docker containers on tiny devices at the far edge.K2D stands for Kubernetes to Docker, which is a bit of a crazy idea -- it's a partial Kubernetes API running on top of Docker Engine without needing a full Kubernetes control plane. If you work with very small devices, including older Raspberry PIs, 32-bit machines, maybe industry sensors and the infrastructure we now call 'edge', the container hardware is often hard for you to make simple, reliable, and automated all at the same time. So this project uses less resources than a single node K3S and still allows you to use Kubernetes tools to deploy and manage your containers, which are in fact just running on a Docker Engine with no full-fledged Kubernetes distribution going on there.We get into far more detail on the architecture, the Portainer team's motivations for this new open source project and what its limitations are, because it's not real Kubernetes, so it can't do everything.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from March 28, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 260).

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Phil Estes of AWS to show us the Finch project, which bundles the best open source tools for building and running containers locally. Now it runs on macOS and Windows WSL2.We've been talking with Phil about this show for months, and now that Finch has come to Windows, we thought it was the best time to clue you in as to why AWS created the Finch project and what it does. You're probably heard of containerd, the most popular container runtime on the planet and BuildKit, the best way, in my opinion, to build container images. Those two work hand in hand in Docker and many other container tools. But you might not have heard of nerdctl or Lima, which are also open source tools that work with containerd and BuildKit to help you run containers locally in a virtual machine. Well, AWS had the idea of making an easy installer for these four tools. That's how Finch was born. Finch is not meant to be a replacement of your existing way to run containers. The tools it installs are a bit of a minimum feature set, if you will, and more focused on providing people the exact tools AWS uses in its container platforms, mainly containerd and BuildKit, which are everywhere in AWS. Rather than building something that's feature equivalent to other local container solutions like Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop, Finch keeps it simple and does the bare minimum.  If you just want an easily installable and minimal way to build and run local containers at the command line with no goofy, high-end fancy features, pure open source and just on Mac and Windows, at least at this point, you should give Finch a try.Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from February 22, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 255).★Topics★Finch WebsiteBret's local container runtime spreadsheetCreators & Guests Phil Estes - Guest Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (00:35) - What is Finch?

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Ivan Burazin and Chad Metcalf to debut Daytona, an open source "codespaces equivalent."Daytona is a development environment manager designed to automate all the tedious steps a developer needs to perform to set up their development environment. "Essentially, it transforms any machine into a codespaces equivalent."Where Daytona is actually starting in the enterprise is focusing on large dev environment solutions and management of those, and then trickling down to individual developers. So there are two very similar solutions to a problem of many developers and their varying ways that they set up their environments for development, but they're coming at it from two ends of the spectrum.

Can you explain GitOps in simple terms? How does it fit into Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment? And what are considerations when rolling out GitOps in an enterprise? To get answers to those questions we sat down with Christian Hernandez, Head of Community at Akuity, who has a fabulous analogy to explain GitOps that I am sure many of us will "borrow" from him. Christian also explains the ecosystem he works in such as ArgoCD, Kargo as well as OpenGitOps which aims to provide open-source standard and best practices to implementing GitOps.We closed the session with some advice around Application Dependency Management, External Secrets Operator and choosing the right Git Repo Structure.Here are some of the links we discussed:OpenGitOps: https://opengitops.dev/ArgoCD: https://argoproj.github.io/cd/Kargo: https://github.com/akuity/kargoArgoCon: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/co-located-events/argocon/GitOpsCon: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/gitopscon-north-america/
