Organizations that embrace GitOps are able to develop and automate their end-to-end software development lifecycle by combining the power of Git, CI/CD and Kubernetes. However the path to get there can be rocky: operating in a multi-cloud environment, working with hybrid microservice and monolith APIs, helping teams discover and publish APIs to use, and moving legacy services to Kubernetes pose no shortage of organizational and technical challenges.

With the universal adoption of Kubernetes across cloud and data center platforms, organizations now enjoy a level of consistency across heterogenous infrastructure like never before. This opens up interesting challenges and opportunities for application deployment and IT operations. In this talk, we will discuss how organizations deploy Kubernetes across cloud, data center, branch offices and the edge. We will also cover how organizations can build a universal computing platform across multiple Kubernetes clusters running on heterogenous infrastructure. As a result, they get unprecedent application portability, deployment agility, security and control.

To keep pace with the company’s rapidly growing menu innovation strategy and expansion to digital channels, elevating the API strategy became a priority at Papa John’s. Learn how the team reduced time to market and enabled API innovation with the growing list of external channels. This session will discuss deploying Kong in a hybrid environment, making use of the Kong Developer Portal and integrating to a CI/CD pipeline to automate deployments.

Are you an enterprise architect who is currently facing the challenge to secure and observe service connectivity across every cloud and every cluster? Kong Mesh, built on top of CNCF’s Kuma and Envoy, is a universal service mesh tailored to the enterprise architect that must provide modern and secure connectivity to the applications that the teams are building.

You want to migrate your existing application to serverless — and you don’t know where to start. This is a common problem that a lot of architects, CTOs and developers have, as it is very rare that we start as a greenfield project.

SIGHUP provides enterprise-grade cloud native infrastructure automation for Kubernetes and cloud native stacks. In this session, we’ll dive into how we leverage Kong for Kubernetes.

Applications architected as microservices are becoming more prevalent every day, but just like their monolithic ancestors, microservice applications must adhere to organization-wide constraints around compliance, security, performance, etc. Authorization — controlling which people and machines can perform which actions — is a foundational security problem that requires new solutions in a microservice world because of changes in requirements around performance, availability and even where authorization gets enforced architecturally.

COVID-19 has hit our country hard, and the healthcare industry is still reeling from national attention on the blatant disparity of the effects of COVID-19 in specific underserved populations. Recognizing the disparity, healthcare leaders continue to struggle with interoperability and data sharing; we must free the data and move beyond the debate of public or private cloud. It’s time to prepare for the eventuality of leveraging all available cloud environments to handle the data workload and application needs to end digital disparity in healthcare.
