On the Production Road with Kata Containers — Adobe’s Lessons Learned

• Speaker: Joseph Sandoval, SRE Manager at Adobe Systems
• Adobe has been using Kata Containers in production for two years on Ethos Adobe’s internal container platform system. Kata has been integral in meeting our isolation and security requirements but there have been some areas that we had to work around to meet internal customer requirements when it comes to storage and network performance.

Cloud native Confidential: Isolating Kubernetes Pods with Confidential Computing

• Speaker: Samuel Ortiz, Software Engineer at Apple
• Confidential Computing expands the cloud threat model into a drastically different paradigm, where cloud providers no longer need to be trusted. The Confidential Containers project integrates this security promise by allowing any Kubernetes pod to run into its own trusted execution environment. Learn everything about Confidential Containers and key components of the project software stack.

Unikernels for Serverless Computing

• Speakers: Charalampos Mainas, Systems Engineer at Nubificus LTD. Anastassios Nanos, Systems Researcher at Nubificus LTD
• Learn serverless stack from a systems software perspective, elaborating on the different layers: OS, runtime & applications. The speakers will focus on the sandboxing aspect of container deployment and present their approach on merging the sandbox with the serverless application using KVMM, a simple in-kernel hypervisor, tailored to host serverless workloads.
