Strictly Confined MicroK8s, ClusterAPI Provisioning for MicroK8s, Operator Day and Quite a few Shows from Trade Specialists
Canonical, the publishers of Ubuntu, will as soon as once more have a significant presence at this yr’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America as a platinum sponsor. The Cloud Native Computing Basis’s flagship convention brings collectively adopters and technologists from main open-source and cloud-native communities. It takes place Oct. 24-28, 2022, in Detroit, and features a digital choice.
Ubuntu is the inspiration for the three public cloud suppliers’ managed Kubernetes companies – Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKS) – which is why it’s the solely OS that may seamlessly assist workloads on any of them.
Canonical’s foremost actions on the convention will embrace:
Showcasing of Safety-First Kubernetes with Strictly Confined MicroK8, Now Typically Out there
Canonical is taking safety one step additional with Strictly Confined MicroK8s. Now usually obtainable, Strictly Confined MicroK8s is a snap confinement degree that gives full isolation, as much as a minimal entry degree that’s all the time deemed protected.
Strictly confined snaps can’t entry recordsdata, networks, processes, or some other system useful resource with out requesting particular entry and makes use of safety features of the Linux kernel, together with AppArmor, seccomp, and namespaces to stop functions and companies from accessing the broader system.
Canonical might be showcasing each Strictly Confined MicroK8s and ClusterAPI: MicroK8s at sales space P28.
ClusterAPI: MiroK8s in your Cloud
Canonical may also be unveiling ClusterAPI provisioning, enabling MicroK8s anyplace, at KubeCon North America. Finish customers are consuming Kubernetes in ever extra methods. ClusterAPI has stood out because the de facto customary that the trade is gravitating in direction of for the provisioning and administration of Kubernetes at scale. Canonical’s ClusterAPI: MicroK8s will be deployed on any infrastructure supplier supported by ClusterAPI.
To study extra, please cease by sales space P28, Canonical might be showcasing each Strictly Confined MicroK8s and ClusterAPI: MicroK8s there.
The Fifth Version of Digital Operator Day
This standard Canonical-hosted digital occasion, being held on Monday, October 24, from KubeCon North America, celebrates software program operators, that are essential within the Kubernetes panorama.
The occasion will deal with use circumstances the place software program operators have been utilized efficiently. Be a part of to listen to about experiences in constructing software program operators utilizing Juju, an open-source operator lifecycle supervisor, and extra. To study extra, go to: https://ubuntu.com/weblog/operator-day-hosted-by-canonical-oct-2022. And to register, go to: https://app.myonvent.com/occasion/operator-day.
Updates on Canonical’s work with Kubernetes
Canonical will spotlight the extent and vary of firms and industries utilizing Ubuntu and Kubernetes to energy their innovation. Ubuntu is the #1 OS for Kubernetes throughout the [major public] clouds, that includes robust safety, best-of-breed infrastructure and app lifecycle automation, prime price-performance, conformity with all Kubernetes distributions, and greater than decade’s expertise of working with the world’s prime firms. Canonical presents two Kubernetes distributions – Charmed Kubernetes and MicroK8s – to deal with the total vary of enterprise infrastructure, from public cloud to on-prem, to edge/IoT.
Canonical Shows
A number of shows from trade consultants are deliberate all through the week, together with:
Tuesday, October 25 at 3:10pm ET
This session might be a demo showcasing an automatic pipeline that means that you can practice an ML mannequin within the public/personal cloud then rework it right into a tf.lite format and orchestrates supply to distributed compute swimming pools on the edge.
Wednesday, October 26 at 11:00am ET
This discuss will cowl all main elements of the appliance lifecycle from construct, check over to provision, supply and launch all the way in which to operational administration and showcase completely different instruments and the way they can be utilized and mixed collectively.
Thursday, October 27 at 3:25pm ET
This session goals to tell the architects and customers of Kubernetes, in addition to groups planning to transition to Kubernetes for analysis functions, about how Canonical designed a high-performing Kubernetes cluster particularly geared in direction of ML and AI workloads.
Friday, October 28 at 2:00pm ET
Flip Me On With Cloud-Native Characteristic Flags! – Alex Jones, Canonical
On this discuss, we glance particularly on the Kubernetes-native implementation of Open Characteristic and illustrate how a number of kinds of pod workloads can now leverage characteristic flags.

The right way to win a Starcraft sport along with your son utilizing MLFlow by Maciej Mazur :
See how MLFlow may also help you to coach a machine studying mannequin to play a sport of Starcraft 2 and what an MLOps pipeline seems like
- Wednesday, October 26 at 2pm
- Thursday, October 27 at 4pm
Demos
A number of completely different demos might be demonstrated on the Canonical sales space.
Charmed Kubernetes on Charmed Openstack: see how Kubernetes integrates seamlessly with Openstack options when deploying it in digital machines on prime of Openstack. Kubernetes can leverage the Octavia Load-Balancer, the identical authentication mechanisms, and extra.
MicroK8s with Kubescape: Visualisation of Kubernetes safety points has by no means been simpler with MicroK8s and Kubescape. On this demo you’ll be capable of see how one can single-line set up MicroK8s and scan for misconfigurations, container points and cluster vulnerabilities with Kubescape.
AI demo with Kubeflow on prime of Kubernetes: Meet and greet a speaking jellyfish, and sneak a peek behind the scene of a real-world AI/ML challenge. See how a Laptop Imaginative and prescient Deep Studying mannequin, GPT-powered chatbot, cloud companies and Charmed Kubeflow work in tandem to speak with you.
