Spinnaker with Jenkins: The Butler Sets Sail on the Open Seas
2021-03-17 13:00 - 14:00 | CA
When: Mar 17, 2021 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Topic: Spinnaker with Jenkins: The Butler Sets Sail on the Open Seas
Presented By: Srinivas Kambhampati
Description: Jenkins is the most popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool in the world, and many people have tried to extend Jenkins to handle Continuous Delivery. But Jenkins was not designed to deploy changes – especially at scale. Learn how to extend Jenkins with Spinnaker – using both tools for what they do best. Spinnaker solves the biggest challenges you’ll encounter when using Jenkins for CD.

Avoid a scripting nightmare
Spinnaker replaces Jenkins scripts to eliminate the cost of maintaining custom code
Repeal the plug-in tax
Eliminate the extensive management of plugins you need when you use Jenkins to deploy at scale
Create visibility
Easily determine the overall health of your delivery process rather than digging through logs
Automate approvals
Use machine learning to determine the risk of moving a change into production

The Goldilocks Problem of Software Delivery
2021-03-04 12:00 - 13:00 | CA
When: Mar 4, 2021 09:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Topic: The Goldilocks Problem of Software Delivery
Presented by: Anders Wallgren
Description: Over the last 15 years, organizations have had difficulty with the entire software delivery process, but two artifacts in particular became a recurring problem. The problem stems from the Goldilocks principle: one of these artifacts is much too big to overcome efficiently, and one of them is much too small to make a significant impact, so we need to find the one that is just right. So what artifact is “just right?” As the user, what we really care about are the Features: the stuff we use and interact with all the time to make our daily lives better. However, the systems we have today haven’t advanced to the point where software features are the nearest proxy for customer value. In other words, the feature must be at the forefront of the UI. In this talk, I will share why features are the proxy for value and explore the different levels of abstraction for the “just right” aspect of a Feature in order to shift people’s mindset from thinking in terms of Builds or Releases, to thinking in terms of the customer and business value. I will share tactics to address the Goldilocks problem and how to have these discussions at the right level of the software in order to make prioritizations, decisions, and discoveries. What attendees will learn:

A different perspective about software delivery, which will help them make better decisions about which features to pursue and builds/releases to postpone.
Learn why features are the future and how they are the perfect middle-ground between individual builds and major releases.
How to ultimately break free from the Goldilocks problem of software delivery.

DevOps 101: A History of Package Management
2021-02-25 12:00 - 13:00 | CA
When: Feb 25, 2021 09:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Topic: DevOps 101: A History of Package Management
Presented By: Kat Cosgrove
Description: Sometimes, it feels like DevOps has been around forever. Sometimes it feels like it’s brand new. The truth is somewhere in the middle — we’ve had pieces of it for a very long time, and the term itself has existed for around a decade, but the exact way we implement it has changed quite a bit over the years. Continuous Integration has been around since the 90s, but it isn’t the same today as it was when Grady Booch first coined the term in 1991. Package management has changed a lot, too, and having context for the history of it not only helps us to see how far we’ve come, but makes it easier for new people to adapt. Join me on a journey through time, from package management as it began to what it looks like today.

Member Meetup: GitOps with Rancher Continuous Delivery
2020-11-11 16:00 - 17:00 | CA
Meetup Details:

Register: https://info.rancher.com/online-meetup-november2020
Date: Wednesday, November 11, 2020
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM US Eastern Time (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM US Pacific Time)

Description: As the number of clusters under management increase, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to manage deploying to their clusters. Rancher Continuous Delivery allows an administrator to create groups of clusters and link them to Git repositories. This means an application owner only ever needs access to the Git repository and not the management cluster. Deployment manifests can be defined in Helm, Kustomize or K8s yaml files and can be tailored based on attributes of the target clusters.
In this meetup, we will look at how to manage GitOps at scale with the new Rancher Continuous Delivery feature powered by Fleet. We will walk through getting started with Rancher Continuous Delivery and provide examples of how to leverage this powerful new tool in Rancher 2.5.
Planned Agenda:

An overview of Rancher Continuous Delivery
How to configure cluster groups and tie them to Git repositories
How to manage deployments on the local cluster
How to deploy an application across multiple clusters

Cloud costs solutions provide a common platform to reduce spend without adding risks to business operations. We know that costs for public cloud services can quickly get out of hand, so without these solutions, the invoice would be a black box. Yet to many users, desperately seeking to reduce their cloud costs, the root cause of the costs is hidden within subtleties of cloud resources. This makes it difficult for teams to plan work, test their services, and manage costs. But no worries Harness is here to help!

From Harness: Cloud Cost 101 Webinar
2020-07-16 13:00 - 14:00 | CA
Leveraging public cloud infrastructure for personal or enterprise projects are commonplace today. Even if turning off every single instance for example in a personal account, you might get some sort of monthly bill from a public cloud provider due to a missed piece of minuscule infrastructure. At the scale of enterprise the allure of agile and elastic infrastructure comes at a cost. The problem that you get a surprise bill in your personal account is exacerbated at the scale that enterprises consume cloud resources. Join your buds at Harness as we discuss common cloud costs myths and what you are actually paying for.

Jenkins UI/UX online hackfest
2020-05-25 - 2020-05-30 | CA
On behalf of the Jenkins User Experience, Documentation and Advocacy and Outreach special interest groups, we are happy to announce the online UI/UX hackfest on May 25-29! Everyone is welcome to participate, regardless of their Jenkins development experience.

The goal is to get together and work on improving Jenkins user experience, including but not limited to user interface and user documentation. We also invite you to share experiences about Jenkins and to participate in UX testing. The event follows the Jenkins is the Way theme and the most active contributors will get special edition swag and prizes!

Event plan

This hackfest is NOT a hackathon. We do not expect participants to dedicate all their time during the event timeframe, but hop-in/hop-out as their time allows. Everybody can spend as much time as they are willing to dedicate. Spending a few days or just a few hours is fine, any contributions matter regardless of their size. Jenkins development experience is not required, we have newcomer-friendly stories for those who want to start contributing to the project. We will also have a 24/7 jenkinsci/hackfest Gitter chat for Q&A and coordination between contributors.

There will be 3 main tracks:

User Interface – Improve look&feel and accessibility for Jenkins users, work on new read-only interface for instances managed with configuration as code, create and update Jenkins themes, and many other topics. This track is coordinated by the UX SIG.
User Documentation – Improve and create new user documentation, tutorials and solution pages. Also, there is ongoing documentation migration from Wiki to jenkins.io and plugin repositories. This track is coordinated by the Documentation SIG.
