Operator Day

Plenary session with Mark Shuttleworth and David Booth

“Kubernetes is taking the app development world by storm.” is one of the most popular phrases about Kubernetes. How can we make best use of this technology?

Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, and one-time astronaut) talks with David Booth (VP Cloud Native Applications at Canonical) about the past year and what to expect in the near future.

A common substrate for enabling solutions with Alex Jones

Together we explore the current landscape of Kubernetes, how Canonical is leveraging and contributing to the ecosystem, with a view to the future of needs of end-users. We highlight trends such as the synthesis of human behaviours through operators, the shift towards GPU/networking offloads and Kubernetes at IoT/Edge.

The goal of this session is to invigorate and excited about Canonical's part within a much larger and thriving cloud native ecosystem, centered around Kubernetes.

Juju & Charmed Ecosystem Update with Jon Seager

In this session we take a look back at the past year and the developments we've enjoyed in Juju, Operator Framework and the broader ecosystem, then take a look at the year ahead.

30 mins to stand up a simple app with Daniela Plascencia

In this session we'll introduce the project and explore the Juju ecosystem, as well as basic charming concepts. We'll deep dive into the build and deploy process for a simple charm.

Observability for developers of Charmed Operators with Simon Aronsson

In this session, elaborating upon the work already done by Daniela Plascencia, we'll have a look at how we may leverage Juju and the Canonical Observability Stack to make our charm observable, and by that also monitorable.

Testing framework for Juju Charmed Operators with Marc Oppenheimer

In this session, Marc will take you through how to use the Charmed Operator framework's testing harness to check that your charm is doing exactly what you think it's doing across multiple scenarios.

Publishing Charmed Operators with Michael Jaeger and Pedro Leão Da Cruz

Charmed Operators make a lot more sense, if they are reused for new applications in a new context. This session covers publishing of Charmed Operators for others. In addition, it introduces the collection of available Charmed Operators on Charmhub.io.

Building a sophisticated product on Juju with Rob Gibbon

Like a charm – building an integrated, operator-driven MLOps ecosystem on Kubernetes.

Experts Panel Discussion: Outlook to Kubernetes and cloud native operations

Industry thought leaders come together in a panel discussion covering the State of Kubernetes, the goals of real users, the challenges they face, and possible futures of cloud native technologies.
