How was Love Kubernetes in Mail.ru Group on February 14

Hello friends. A summary of the previous series: we launched @Kubernetes Meetup in Mail.ru Group and almost immediately realized that we did not fit into the framework of a classic meetup. So appeared Love Kubernetes β€” special edition @Kubernetes Meetup #2 for Valentine's Day.

To be honest, we were a little worried if you loved Kubernetes enough to spend the evening of February 14th with us. But almost 600 applications for participation in the meetup, registration for which had to be stopped quite quickly, 400 guests and another 600 participants who joined us in the online broadcast, told us: "Yes."

How was Love Kubernetes in Mail.ru Group on February 14

Under the cut is a video from the meetup - about Kubernetes on Booking.com, security in K8S and Kubernetes on Bare Metal - how it went, who won - vanilla or distributions - and the news of our @Meetup series.

And here is the video:

Opening remarks by the organizers
Ilya Letunov, Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions

Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions tell you what Love Kubernetes is and what other events they have come up with for you. Spoiler - without DevOps not done.


"Kubernetes at Booking.com"
Ivan Kruglov, Booking.com, Principal Developer

Booking.com about how they solve the problem of accelerating the time to market of new products with the help of an internal cloud based on 15 Kubernetes clusters; how the company's approach to K8S differs from the generally accepted one and how Booking.com contributes to the Kubernetes ecosystem.


β€œSecurity in Kubernetes. How to stop worrying and start living
Dmitry Lazarenko, Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions, Head of PaaS

Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions has been providing Kubernetes as a service in their public cloud and during this time they have encountered many requests on how to implement maximum application security in Kubernetes and build the right Security Development Lifecycle / DevSecOps there. Learn how to make Kubernetes truly secure and what common security patterns apply to both public and private clouds.


"All you need to know about Kubernetes on Bare Metal"
Andrey Kvapil, WEDOS Internet as, Cloud Architect / DevOps

The largest Czech hosting WEDOS actively uses Kubernetes to deploy services and servers, already now for more than 500 nodes. The speaker shares his experience with K8S on Bare Metal, focusing on setting up a server farm with network booting and choosing storage. You will also learn about the young Linstor project, which WEDOS uses in operation, highlighting it among a large number of free SDS solutions.


Panel discussion "Vanilla Kubernetes or vendor distribution: what is the future for?"

Most cloud providers provide Kubernetes as a service based on a vanilla distribution. But the market now also offers many builds of Kubernetes, and even individual products based on them: some of them just slightly improve suboptimal behavior, others - such as OpenShift - almost completely change Kubernetes.

Together with the vendors of such distributions and representatives of companies that operate vanilla Kubernetes along with vendor solutions, we understand the pros and cons of each option.

Moderator: Mikhail Zhuchkov. Participants of the discussion:

  • Sergey Belolipetsky, Logrocon Russia, Consulting Director;
  • Natalia Sugako, Kublr Russia, information security specialist;
  • Stanislav Khalup, Tinkoff Bank, Technical Program Manager;
  • Ivan Kruglov, Booking.com, Principal Developer;
  • Dmitry Lazarenko, Mail.Ru Cloud Solutions, Head of PaaS.

How it was:

How it all went, you can see in full photo report on Facebook. Below we want to share with you a couple of the highlights of the event.

We take this opportunity to say hello to all the participants of Love Kubernetes - you are awesome.
