If your company can sponsor our meetup, please contact the organizers.</p> <p>Running MicroShift on Fedora Bootc for Scalable, Secure, and Resilient Edge Deployments - Ram Gopinathan, Red Hat</p> <p>As edge computing accelerates across industries—from utilities and manufacturing to retail and smart cities—organizations are looking for lightweight, reliable, and secure platforms to deploy containerized applications at scale at the edge. Enter MicroShift, a small-footprint Kubernetes distribution, paired with Fedora Bootc, an image-based, immutable operating system built for consistency and resilience.</p> <p>In this session, we’ll demonstrate how running MicroShift on Fedora Bootc creates a powerful foundation for edge workloads, combining the familiarity of Kubernetes with the reliability of image-based OS updates and atomic rollbacks. Learn how this approach reduces operational complexity, improves boot-time performance, and enhances system integrity—especially for unattended or resource-constrained edge environments.</p> <p>Mind the Gap: Tracking AWS Infrastructure Drift Over Time - Christopher Buckley, Buckshot Technologies</p> <p>Modern DevOps pipelines focus heavily on deploying infrastructure-as-code, but what happens after the deploy? In many organizations, the infrastructure evolves outside of Git — through the console, ad hoc scripts, or third-party tools — leaving behind blind spots and compliance risk.</p> <p>In this talk, we’ll explore practical ways to track infrastructure drift and deltas across AWS environments. You’ll learn how to snapshot configurations, compare changes between points in time, and surface deltas across accounts in a format that’s accessible to engineers, auditors, and security teams alike.</p> <p>We'll demo an open-source tool built to show Git-style diffs for AWS infrastructure — not as a pitch, but as a case study in how visibility empowers better decisions, faster troubleshooting, and cleaner audit trails. Whether you're running one VPC or a hundred, knowing what changed is the first step to staying in control.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/313348836">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
