talkManaging Infrastructure in the World of Containers
Containers improved efficiencies in delivering software and moved us towards dynamic infrastructure and continuous deployment of code. Even as container platforms like Kubernetes solved problems in deployment and scaling, problems in the infrastructure layer remain -- from bootstrapping of container platform itself to infrastructure provisioning, scaling and updates. This talk describes these problems and how InfraKit as a project solves them by providing common primitives and automation. The audience will see how InfraKit and related projects can work together to help automate the management of container platforms whether they run in public cloud or in private data centers.

talkContainer FS: Adapt or Die
Since 2011, before containers were containers, CloudFoundry has been coming up with groundbreaking new methods of dealing with processes and isolation in production. Over the last five years, different filesystems were used as the underlying structure for what now are called containers, to meet every new demand as they appeared. In this talk Tiago and Claudia will discuss the pros and cons of each adopted filesystem, pointing out the reasons for each pivot and the lessons learned in the process. Starting with AUFS in Warden “containers”, through turbulent experiences with BTRFS, finally they will demonstrate CloudFoundry’s current reliable and more maintainable solution using Overlay+XFS.

talkLive Container Hacking: Capture The Flag - Andrew vs Ben
Every day hackers are searching for potential exploits and vulnerabilities within systems. The system administrator’s aim is to create protections and defenses to ensure that they don’t succeed. But what does that look like live? This talk will demonstrate live reconnaissance, exploitation, and defence of running containers and orchestrators. Ben has challenged Andrew to try and capture his flag, represented by a Bitcoin. If Andrew manages to exploit a Docker/Kubernetes deployment, then he’ll capture the flag and as such the Bitcoin. Ben needs to ensure that all the correct defenses are in place to stop this from happening. Be witness to attack and defend methods of Docker Security. Learn the approaches hackers use and how to defend your systems. More importantly, who will win? Will any systems still be up by the end? Will the containers successfully contain and protect from Andrew’s onslaught?
workshopSecuring Docker Containers and Deployments (Advanced)
Docker provides a number of container security extensions that can appear esoteric and confusing to a new user. During this hands-on workshop, Andrew and Ben will share their experiences of securing Docker and Kubernetes based deployments. This workshop will demonstrate why containers are insecure and work with vulnerable containers to secure them against various forms of attack and privilege escalation. Attendees will work through: - Hardening Containers - Container intrusion detection - Docker and Linux vulnerabilities - Out-of-the-box security with Docker - Securing containers with Seccomp and AppArmor - Securing containers using Linux Kernel features - CI continuous security measures to lock down containers at all stages of their lifecycle. - A comprehensive summary of container native security tooling and a comparison with existing tools. Attendees will leave the session understanding Linux and Docker's security model, the limitations and how to maximise your container’s security.

talkCNI/CNM - what does it all mean? Introducing container networking
This session will overview and elaborate what the current Container Networking frameworks all mean from a 'end user' point of view, often confusing and hard to navigate we have now two main frameworks - CNI (Container Network Interface) and CNM (Container Network Model). So what does it mean to you? Let's explore!

talkBuilding geographically distributed microservices with containers
Running applications and services across several cloud providers and/or data centers can bring many benefits for organisations. Actually, in some cases it can even be a mandatory requirement. Making your application stack compliant with multiple cloud providers can be problematic as there are differences between cloud providers, for example in networking configurations. And to make things even more difficult, you should have a way to secure the intra-services’ communications between many cloud providers. In practice this means cumbersome network configurations with VPN and other networking security solutions. Luckily containers and modern (container) overlay networks can solve this complexity for you.

workshopBuilding Your Own Kubernetes Operator (Advanced)
Kubernetes Operators extend the Kubernetes API through CustomResourceDefinitions, enabling users to create, configure and manage applications. They are software that encapsulates the operational knowledge of a human operator. Projects like etcd, Prometheus and Rook have built operators to make managing their software simpler. But can you as a Developer, Sysadmin, or SRE on a small team reuse these ideas to build software that streamlines and automates your own processes? In this workshop we will introduce you to some of the patterns that are used in operators. Then we will split into small teams to work on a challenge to build your own simple operator.

talkYour (container) secret's safe with me
In a containerized deployment, how do you safely pass secrets - like passwords and tokens - between containers without compromising their safety? If orchestration means a container can run on any machine in the cluster, how do you minimize access to your secrets on all those hosts? In this talk we will explore and demonstrate the risks, and discuss best practices for keeping your secrets safe.
