Title: Continuous Delivery in the era of Kubernetes and OpenShift
Duration: 60 (includes Q&A)
Q&A Session: 15
Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: Deployment automation, cloud platforms, containerization, short iterations to develop and release software---we've progressed a lot. And finally it's official: Kubernetes and OpenShift are the established platforms to help us do scaling and zero downtime deployments with just a few hundred lines of YAML. It's a great time.

Can we finally put all our eggs into one basket? Identify the cloud platform that fits our needs, and jump on it? That could well backfire: Vendor lock-in is the new waterfall, it slows you down. In future you'll want to jump over to the next better platform, in a matter of minutes. Not months.

This talk is about "The Art of Writing Deployment Pipelines", pipelines that will survive Kubernetes, OpenShift and the like. It's for Kubernetes enthusiasts of all levels -- no domain specific knowledge required, all you need to understand will be explained. You'll learn how to separate application-specific and deployment-specific configuration details, to maximize your freedom and avoid vendor lock-in. Come see a demo of a Django application setup! Take home a working, future-proof setup for your Python applications.
