KubeCon / CloudNativeCon Seattle summary report - Just to recapture some of the items from the event - Few of the items are copied from other blogs from reference - pictures are just for FUN!
1. KeyTakeAway:top#10
1) Fluentd is now part of CNCF along with Kuberntes, Prometheus & OpenTracing. Fluentd's more than 600 plug-ins connect it to
many data sources and data outputs. Several other projects are lined to be part of CNCF – See slide #6.
2) New CNCF Certification is introduced through Linux Foundation. Individual certification & Kubernetes Managed Service
Providers (KMSP) program—a program that certifies people and their companies, not software.
3) 65 global vendors with growth astonishing - Total membership for the foundation is now at. Several vendors are now
contributing to Kubernetes, the fastest open source, and Googl’e contribution is now below 50% with no single control all.
4) 1000 node CNCF TestBed from Intel, encourage other CNCF community to take advantageous of it.
5) Lots of interesting talks by Google, Redhat, CoreOS guys; make sense that those are the top contributors to the foundation;
6) Open Container Initiative(OCI)- an update Jeff from OpenCloud & Rob from Microsoft. OCI certification program in place.
7) Next KubeCon at Germany in March 2017 and then one in Austin USA in December 2017.
8) Some announcements were made during the week:
• Kubernetes on Azure Cloud
• Weaveworks Knits Networking, Prometheus Monitoring into a Cloud-Native Service, Weave Cloud
• Trireme, an open source security project for Kubernetes and Docker, was released by Aporeto
• Caicloud made their CI/CD project “Cyclone” open source.
• Telekube, the fully managed Kubernetes platform, was launched by Gravitational.
• StackPointCloud launched software to simplify the aggregation of multiple Kubernetes deployments across different
cloud providers, using the Kubernetes Federation Control Plane.
9) Two panel discussions with lots of good info sharing.
Day 1: Dan Kohn, Erik St. Martin, Alex Polvi, and Andy Smith on future of Kubernetes - here.
Day 2: Ken Owens, Janakiram MSV, Kelsey Hightower, and Erica Brescia, on how Kubernetes progress community - here.
10) Pre Conference Meetup @Google Office Seattle – Kubernetes wizards(Brenden, Joe, Craig, Tim) mentioned they are thinking of
Core and other 3rd party stuff separate so that code will have stability and more adoption. Do not want like Openstack or
Docker where things getting bulkier every release (may be something in that sort they said…)

2) Cloud Native Computing Foundation Adds New Project, Grows Membership - http://www.eweek.com/cloud/cloud-native-
computing-foundation-adds-new-project-grows-membership.html
3) What we learned by Kevin Allen - https://www.ibm.com/blogs/cloud-computing/2016/11/cloudnativecon-kubecon/
4) Jim Walker, VP of Marketing at CoreOS Inc., and Joseph Jacks, senior director of Product Management at Apprenda Inc talking in
KubeCon - gave the example of Ticketmaster running a $25B e-commerce business on Kubernetes, moving that onto Amazon and
shutting down multiple data centers. http://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/11/10/kubernetes-and-the-open-source-cloud-native-
evolution-kubecon/
5) Several senior leaders interview. Read more here: http://siliconangle.tv/kubecon-2016/
6) Rakesh Malhotra, SVP of Products and Engineering at Apprenda Inc., and Joseph Jacks, senior director of Product Management at
Apprenda explained “the advantage of Kubernetes is in emulating the “distributed systems patterns of the internet,” allowing
developers to write software, pack it into a container, and run it on”http://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/11/11/using-distributed-
systems-to-reinvigorate-application-development-kubecon/
7) Richard Kaufmann, VP at Samsung SDS America told “Kubernetes is cloud-provider independent,”

9) {code} in the Cloud Native Landscape at KubeCon Seattle 2016 https://blog.codedellemc.com/2016/11/09/code-in-the-cloud-
native-landscape-at-kubecon-seattle-2016/
10) “Future of Kuberetes seems to be bright” Scott, Unlike OpenStack, Kubernetes seems to have really strong technical guidance
from a single source (Google), which may outweigh the pull of the community in multiple directions.

3. Pre-Conference Meetup @Google Office Seattle
Several Kubernetes Founders/Wizards (Joe Beda, Brendan
Burns, Tim Hockin & Craig McLuckie) attended the meeting
along with lots of Kubernetes Committers and CNCF
Ambassadors. There were around 100+ participants in the pre-
conf meetup.
The meetup started with Panel discussion. Wide variety of
question related Kubernets were addressed. Some of them are:
Kubernetes is a very successful open source and it is the
HOT piece now more than hot Docker. What next?
Too many issues related to Storage, Persistent storage,
DFS, Networking, etc. needs to be really addressed.
Finally the Googler’s thinking somewhere they have to
separate the core to be more stable and sustainable. Allow
third party content separate to be more sustainable. Don’t
know where to stop is the problem
Later few startup companies show cased their kubernetes
products.
The post event session was very interesting. People could
chat with these Google folks to get to know more
4. Conference Overview
More than 1000+ attendees, 108 sessions, 38 sponsors,
were involved in the conference in various capacities.
Kubernetes Wizards from Google were very active in the event.
Several partnership were mentioned in the Key Note.
Several CNCF Committers presented papers!
Majority of the CNCF Ambassadors were in the conference!
Inaugural Key Note, CNCF executive Director Dan (Former president
of Linux Foundation) emphasized that CNCF is growing as one of the
largest open source community in the world. Very good momentum in
Kubernetes adoption among enterprises
Conference called upon more people to get involve in the
community and to make cloud native a reality in the enterprise world.
10. What's Next init
Google and Microsoft are different. Microsoft wants to support everything on Azure, while Google
wants Kubernetes everywhere. Either way Kubernetes eco system is growing rapidly in providers!
Google is shooting for dozen
clusters in a dozen cloud
regions times 5,000 nodes
each, you have got quite a
heap of machines!
