DevNation Deep Dive: AXA

We are pleased to invite you to be part of this DevNation Deep Dive, a live event that focuses on the most relevant technologies for software development today. The knowledge imparted is approached from upstream open source projects.

SESSION I: GitHub Actions 101: April 6, 2023 / 07:00 UTC

Abstract: In this Deep Dive, you will learn:

Workflows
Runners
Jobs
Actions
Creating and triggering your first workflow

SESSION II: Knative Serverless: April 13, 2023 / 07:00 UTC

Speakers: Natale Vinto, Alex Soto Bueno, Hans-Peter Grahsl, Ian Lawson

Abstract: Kubernetes-native serverless with Knative grants you the “magical” ability to scale to zero if your application component is underutilized. Perhaps more importantly, the skills and code you craft with Knative and Kubernetes are portable to all of the big cloud providers. In this session, we will show you how to get started and how to keep rocking with the interesting capabilities of Knative Serving and Knative Eventing.

In this Deep Dive, you will learn:

Knative installation and setup
Your first Knative Serverless service
Traffic distribution with Blue/Green
Traffic distribution with Canary
Auto-scaling behavior modification
Event sources and sinks
Apache Kafka events

SESSION III: Ansible: April 20, 2023 / 07:00 UTC

Speakers: Natale Vinto, Alex Soto Bueno, Hans-Peter Grahsl, Ian Lawson

Abstract: Automation helps teams deliver applications faster, easier, and in more reproducible ways. In the case of Kubernetes, there are a wide range of solutions that automate application delivery and implement GitOps methodology, for example, using tools like Tekton and ArgoCD. But what happens if you want to achieve the same level of automation when not using Kubernetes? Ansible is your IT automation solution for such cases.

Join us to learn how to use Ansible and explore several use cases for automation so you can immediately take advantage of the benefits. You will also learn how to use GitOps when deploying to more traditional cloud infrastructure.

SESSION IV: Advanced GitHub Actions: May 4, 2023 / 07:00 UTC

Abstract: In this Deep Dive, you will learn:

Workflows
