Cloud Native Day Bergen 2024 - A day with Cloud & Kubernetes in Bergen.

Speakers

This talk will explore HELP Forsikring's journey of implementing Crossplane as a self-service backend for our development teams. Crossplane has proven to be a swift and productive tool, enabling rapid development and deployment. However, this journey has been challenging, mainly due to occasional gaps in available information and feedback from failing composite parts.

Hvordan kan en offentlig etat som SSB tilby moderne datatjenester? Dataanalytikere og data scientists ønsker å benytte seg av nye open source verktøy og tjenester, men det kan ofte være utfordrende å bygge en moderne dataplattform som lar IT-utviklere tilby dette på en enhetlig og sikker måte. SSB har tatt i bruk en ny tjenesteplattform som er utviklet av det franske statistikkbyrået, kalt Onyxia ( https://www.onyxia.sh/ ). Løsningen er bygget på toppen av åpne standarder (kubernetes, helm, oidc). Den gjør det lett å tilby open source verktøy pakket som containere, slik som Jupyter, RStudio, VS Code, MLFlow osv. på en enkel og brukervennlig måte. En annen gevinst er at man unngår nye bindinger til proprietær teknologi.

Modern organizations use modern principles like autonomous product teams. But has your organization built the tools needed to enable teams to be truly autonomous? In this talk we will be taking a closer look at Argo CD and sharing experiences from the platform team at Kartverket. We'll write an ApplicationSet together that enables team autonomy, and share how our apps repo architecture gives teams in Kartverket a pleasant and user-friendly experience with Argo CD.

What do you do when your Kubernetes cluster stops working?

Only 40% of engineering time is productive, and 36% of engineers leave organizations because of bad developer experience as organizations try to adopt cloud native technologies and practices! Platform Engineering overcomes those challenges through “Golden Path” templates that operationalize DevSecOps and SRE practices. But - don't just build a Platform - as this is bound to fail! 🎙️ In this session, we have Andreas (Andi) Grabner, CNCF Ambassador, who will be sharing what he has seen from organizations around the globe that made them build successful IDPs (Internal Development Platforms). It's all about solving developers' pain points, having a straightforward way to measure the impact, starting with a TVP, providing a good user experience, and making sure everything is observable!

Most of the developer platform consoles I saw are getting it completely wrong, and I honestly cannot understand why. For decades now we know that a good UI is a dumb UI. A good UI does not contain much logic. UIs rely on APIs to discover what can be done and what information is needed to do whatever should be done. Yet, when I see developer portal UIs, more often than not, they do not try to rely on APIs. Instead, they are doing their best to ignore them, to bypass them, to use their internal APIs, and to do too much for no good reason.
