SnykCon
2020-10-21 - 2020-10-23
Join us at the first-ever SnykCon, Oct. 21-22, a free, multi-track event designed to help development, security and operations teams accelerate the development of secure software. From industry leadership discussions, to technical workshops, to Snyk product updates and roadmap insight, you’ll walk away with a great virtual learning experience and a member of the world’s strongest community of DevSecOps thinkers, practitioners and market leaders.
You’ll hear from leading security engineers and developers in hands-on technical sessions so you can work with your team to deliver secure code.
We’ll cover everything from:
-How to secure code from your IDE all the way through to deployment
-Vulnerability hacks
-Practical Kubernetes and Terraform security and more!
Send in your talk ideas focused on our “Secure Together” theme by Sept. 25. Just as DevSecOps is about a better collaboration across teams, we encourage you to share proposals about how you helped others become more secure. What value did you bring? It’s all too easy to say what others should do, but what did you do to build up the relationship?
SnykCon proceeds (from sponsorship and optional donations) will directly benefit The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Be part of the effort to improve the quality of life for billions of people with this donation, and help us make a small impact on our world today.

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

DevOps 101: A History of Package Management
2021-02-25 12:00 - 13:00
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.

The Goldilocks Problem of Software Delivery
2021-03-04 12:00 - 13:00
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.

2021-03-10 13:00 - 14:00
When: Mar 10, 2021 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Topic: Polyglot Apps Lead to Polyglot Security Holes. It’s Time to Fight Back!
Presented By: Sven Ruppert
Description: With convenience on the developer side, based on dependencies, abstraction layers and the composition of technologies we are getting up speed in our production pipeline. But at the same time, it’s Pandora’s box in terms of security too. How can you close this gap and eliminate the weaknesses? I’ll show you how to start with free tools to protect your stack against known security vulnerabilities, increase productivity while working fast efficient and comfortable and why quality based on an excellent test-coverage will be your safety belt.

Spinnaker with Jenkins: The Butler Sets Sail on the Open Seas
2021-03-17 13:00 - 14:00
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
