In containerized environments like Kubernetes, service mesh has emerged as a key architectural component to ensure reliable, secure, and observable communication between services. Despite the growing popularity of service mesh, many developers, operators, and architects find the concept of a service mesh intimidating due to its perceived complexity and wide array of features.
In this talk speaker from the gRPC team in Google will demystify service mesh technology by returning to the basics, providing clear understanding of what a service mesh is, the problems it solves, and how it fits into a cloud-native ecosystem. Additionally, this talk will explore the differences between proxy-based and proxyless service mesh architectures, discussing their advantages, disadvantages, and use cases.
We spend countless hours making applications resilient and scalable, but often overlook their final moments. While we obsess over startup performance and runtime behavior, the shutdown process remains a mystery. Yet, understanding this crucial phase can mean the difference between clean service transitions and disrupted user experiences.
Join us as we decode Pod termination in Kubernetes, exploring the lifecycle from shutdown signal to final goodbye. We'll examine real-world scenarios through kubectl, kubelet, and API interactions, and share practical strategies for smooth shutdowns. Transform your chaotic Pod terminations into choreographed farewells and enhance your application's reliability.
For: DevOps engineers, SRE teams, and Kubernetes developers.

Kubernetes is powerful, but its true strength lies in extensibility. Many developers struggle to adapt it to their needs, often resorting to workarounds instead of leveraging built-in extension mechanisms. What if Kubernetes worked for you, not the other way around?
This beginner-friendly session will introduce you to Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and custom controllers, guiding you through their design, implementation, and deployment. You'll learn how to create Kubernetes-native abstractions that automate workflows, simplify operations, and enhance the developer experience. We'll cover best practices, automation strategies, and performance optimizations to ensure scalable and maintainable extensions that integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes.
Get ready to move beyond workarounds and let your pods thrive with clean, scalable, and native Kubernetes extensions!
