Mastering Efficiency in Argo CD: Scaling Smarter, Not Costlier - Alexander Matyushentsev, Akuity

Wednesday April 2, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 1-2

Argo CD is a tool that automates the management of Kubernetes clusters and enhances developer productivity. Providing a single pane of glass for managing multiple clusters is a challenging task that requires significant computing resources, which can lead to increased cloud expenses.

Maintainers and Argo CD users have been working collaboratively to identify bottlenecks that drive up cloud costs and develop effective solutions. Many of these findings have been integrated into the product, while others have resulted in best practices that users can adopt to minimize the cost of running Argo CD.

In this presentation, we will explore the architecture of Argo CD and identify components that may incur higher costs as Argo CD scales. We will cover the improvements introduced in recent releases. Finally, we will share best practices that users can follow to optimize the cost of running Argo CD, along with several known edge cases that can be expensive and the corresponding solutions.

Beyond Classical Cryptography: Building Quantum-Resistant Cloud Native Infrastructure With SPIFFE - Andrés Vega, M42 & Hugo Landau, Messier42

Friday April 4, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 1-2

As quantum computing advances, traditional cryptographic systems face unprecedented vulnerabilities. We demonstrate integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) into cloud native infrastructure through SPIFFE identities, focusing on networking and security. We'll examine NIST's 2024 PQC standards and their key advantage: improved implementation error resistance.

Our live demonstration showcases end-to-end PQC in Kubernetes using SPIFFE/SPIRE, with L7 filtering, mutual authentication, and quantum-resistant cross-cluster communication. We cover:

* Deployment of PQC-enabled SPIRE, Cilium, and Envoy with Kyber KEM and Dilithium3 X.509 certificates
* Implementation of quantum-resistant (m)TLS
* Cilium network policies for L7 filtering with PQC
* Inter-node traffic security using Envoy mTLS with PQ algorithms

Bridge the Gap To OSS Adoption With Documentation: A Kubernetes Story - Rey Lejano, Red Hat; Natali Vlatko, Cisco; Divya Mohan, SUSE

Friday April 4, 2025 13:45 - 14:15 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 1-2

Accessible, comprehensive, and easy-to-read documentation aids open source project adoption.
New users of an open source project often follow the documentation to deploy the project.
Good documentation leads users to successfully deploy the project -- potentially leading to adoption.

This session highlights key strategies, factors, and attributes that aided the success of the Kubernetes documentation. Some of these include the importance of writing from a second-person perspective and accepting PRs that are "good enough" and not perfect, which creates a lower barrier to entry for new contributors to improve the docs. This talk will review many more strategies, factors, and attributes of the Kubernetes documentation that can be adopted by other projects and are helpful for future Kubernetes documentation contributors.
