Open Source in Finance Forum New York 2024

This talk will be the hardships, lessons learned, and remediation techniques put in place to manage a large multi-tenant, multi-cluster on-premise kubernetes estate, while adhering to tight regulatory controls such as PCI, SOX, SOC1. It will go over hygiene techniques, chaos engineering, resource management, technology lifecycle management/kubernetes in place upgrades, event driven architectures for mitigating and self-healing issues, along with other scenarios and topics. All of this entails a lot of integration with many CNCF components, such as Prometheus, Grafana, Cortex, Alert Manager, ArgoCD, Contour, Envoy, Kube Bench, and more. Some areas of focus will be targeting some common themes we see everyday when trying to consume CNCF and/or OSS products, and the adjustments we have to make to have them fit our regulatory policies.
