Using Jenkins and Spinnaker to Supercharge Your Deployment Pipelines - Isaac Mosquera, Armory

Just because you've decided to use Spinnaker for CD doesn't mean you have to throw away all of your existing DevOps tooling built around Jenkins. Spinnaker treats Jenkins as a 1st class citizen and has native integrations to improve your software delivery process. In this talk we'll review how Spinnaker can add automated deployment verification, 1 click rollbacks, deployment windows, deployment notifications without writing additional code & scripts.

Exploring the CDF Landscape to Define Your Ultimate Pipeline - Tracy Ragan, DeployHub

Continuous Delivery is an 'engineering approach' that ensures software can be released at any time. That approach requires both a cultural shift as well as a suite of automation tooling that is driven by pipeline orchestration. This session will cover the different CD categories to clarify the different tooling needed for building out a pipeline that fits your organizations individual needs. And because no two organizations are alike, there are many different options on the commercial and open source market that can help you build out your ultimate pipeline process. We will cover options for building a traditional pipeline as well as what is needed to shift to a Kubernetes Pipeline supporting microservices that are independently deployed.

Tackling Challenges in Integrating Multi-community CI/CD Pipelines - Emil Backmark, Ericsson

What challenges are there in the integration of CI/CD pipelines between different Open Source communities? How do we integrate the deliveries of the cloud infrastructure software to the deliveries of the cloud orchestration software and finally to our cloud application software to be able to test them all together? How can we track what has been integrated where? Can we re-use well-proven mechanisms from the enterprise on integrating software on these challenges?

The days are long time gone now when we coded a small piece of software which was compiled towards a specific hardware platform and delivered as such. Nowadays almost any application has dependencies to infrastructure software in multiple layers, with virtual machines, containers, orchestration engines etc. being some of them.

In this session Emil and Jenny will discuss examples of these challenges and how they can be tackled using event-driven integration pipelines based on experience from large-scale software development.

What About Us? Upskilling the Humans of CI/CD - Jayne Groll, DevOps Institute

While the perception of CI/CD is largely based on automation, there is a rising awareness that the human elements are as critical as the technology. Organizations are facing challenges finding new talent while directing fund to upskill existing talent. We have to update our humans as much as we update our software.

Upkilling is important but which skills are consider "must have" for CD? This session will explore the results of DevOps Institute's 2019 Upskilling:Enterprise DevOps Skills Report based on a global community research project. The session will look at high level takeaways while granulating the priorities within process, automation, functional and soft skills. The results may be surprising and hopefully gives practitioners and hiring managers ideas for their upskilling strategies.

Companies need to invest in upskilling programs. But which skills?

Adopting GitOps Best Practices at HeidelbergCement - Peishu Li, HeildelbergCement/Lehigh Hanson

Do you feel lost in Kubernetes' ever growing CI/CD landscape? What about GitOps tools? Ever heard of Tekton and want to know how you can leverage this powerful yet flexible building block to help solving your unique CI/CD challenges in a cloud native way? If any of these questions ever crossed your mind, you are not alone! In this talk, the presenters will tell your a story about what the DevOps team at HeidelbergCement did for their digital transformation project when they faced these challenges in pursuing CI/CD best practices. They will walk you through their tool evaluation process and explain why they settled on a hybrid GitOps approach that used Tekton, Argo CD along with their own custom webhook to meet their not so unique requirements. You will also see a live demo of how these pieces work together to provide a complete GitOps workflow.

Triggers: Event Based Workflows for Tekton Pipelines and More! - Dibyo Mukherjee, Google

With tasks and pipelines, the Tekton pipelines project has powerful primitives for building a flexible CI/CD system. Event based triggering i.e. launching tasks and pipelines based on external events such as Github pull requests has been a much requested feature for Tekton.

In this talk you will see how you can use the Tekton triggers project to extract information from external events and use them in pipelines. But that's not all, you'll see how this approach can be easily extended to create any Kubernetes resources in response to any external event

Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery. Continuous Security? - Hayley Denbraver, Snyk

Hayley will give a quick overview of the benefits of bringing security into your CI/CD pipeline. If security is not part of you CI/CD pipeline, you are either going to skip it, or it will bottle neck your process, undercutting the benefits of CI/CD. She will discuss best practices for integrating security into the CI/CD pipeline and share some lessons learned from her team at Snyk and the communities and clients with whom she works.

Securing Jenkins with Pod Security Policies - Kurt Madel, CloudBees

Jenkins on Kubernetes is typically a multi-tenant service where security is very important. In addition to multi-tenancy, when running CD workloads on a platform like Kubernetes there are typically other workloads deployed and if any workload does not have proper security configured it can impact all of the workloads running on the cluster.

The combination of Pod Security Policies (PSPs) with Kubernetes RBAC, namespaces and workload specific node pools allows for the granular security you need to ensure there are adequate safeguards in place to reduce the risk of unintentional (and intentional) actions that put your cluster at risk. Combining Pod Security Policies with other Kubernetes best practices allows you to provide the flexibility needed by CI/CD users while providing adequate guard rails so they don’t negatively impact other important Kubernetes workloads.

This talk will provide details on how to most effectively enable and use Pod Security Policies for Jenkins on Kubernetes.

Overcoming Organizational Challenges in Continuous Delivery with Spinnaker - Brandon Leach, AutoDesk

Conversations around the adoption of Continuous Delivery and Spinnaker often center around tools and technology, and not enough time is spent discussing the organizational and process changes needed to ensure success. Using Spinnaker has implications for how teams develop software, organize themselves, implement compliance controls, and the traditional division of responsibilities between software, DevOps, and quality engineers.

In this presentation, I will explore these implications, and share the challenges I have encountered while implementing Continuous Delivery with Spinnaker. I will share how I went about solving these problems, my successes and failures.

There are no universal answers to these problems, but I will use my experiences as examples to provide insights to others that they can apply to their own efforts to increase engineering efficiency and deployment velocity/safety with Spinnaker.

The Journey of Building Cloud Native Platforms - Mauricio Salatino, Camunda

Continuous Delivery on top of Kubernetes is changing the way that we build software, it comes with a great cultural change and challenges but a lot of advantages. While using tools like Jenkins X is an amazing starting point to get familiar with CI/CD and GitOps, companies can integrate with these tools in a whole new level to build the next generation Cloud Platforms. In this presentation, Mauricio will look at the Kubernetes resources provided by Jenkins X and how can we integrate our own domain specific concepts to leverage Jenkins X from inside our domain specific platforms. The presentation includes a live demo running on a remote Kubernetes Cluster and all the instructions for attendees to run the same example in their own environments.
