Kubernetes and WebAssembly boldly venturing into new frontiers

Best-selling author and video-trainer Nigel Poulton uncovers a future where Kubernetes and WebAssembly work together to change the future of cloud native, and boldly go where Kubernetes could never go before.
Talk abstract

Virtual machines powered the first wave of cloud computing. Kubernetes and containers powered the second wave. The third wave is now upon us, and it's being powered by cloud-native WebAssembly (Wasm).

Why? Because WebAssembly creates smaller, faster, more secure, and more portable apps. This is why technologies like Docker and Kubernetes are scrambling to provide native support for WebAssembly.

This session covers the benefits and impacts of WebAssembly in the cloud, and uncovers some of the ways it's being integrated with core infrastructure technologies like Docker and Kubernetes. It also explains how it's powering Kubernetes into use-cases and environments where it previous couldn't go. Finally, it outlines some of the changes Kubernetes needs to make in order to maximise the value of WebAssembly. 

When you're done with this session, you'll be excited to learn more about cloud-native WebAssembly and try it out with technologies like Docker Desktop and Kubernetes.

Abstracting Kubernetes and setting standards with internal developer portals
Developers find it difficult to manage Kubernetes, let alone understand it when troubleshooting or developing in a shift left world. Internal developer portals can be used to abstract and whitelist K8s data and set standards through scorecards.

How to deploy Kotlin applications to Kubernetes without Dockerfiles
In this talk Lothar shares how to create docker images with Kotlin and Gradle only. Lothar will showcase a ktor application as well as create and deploy a Docker image that contains the application to a Kubernetes cluster. The deployment happens on the command line only - every code change will trigger an instant deployment of a newly created Docker image to a Kubernetes cluster.
