OpenSearch - Your Friendly Neighborhood Vector Database by Nathan Boot @ AWS

OpenSearch, aside from being a search, analytics, and observability solution, often gets overlooked as a fully functioning open source vector database. I’d very much like the opportunity to showcase the progress we’ve made here at the OpenSearch project implementing vector database operations and making them accessible to developers of all skill levels.

Let’s learn how to create and query vector embeddings, the basis for semantic search and RAG. You’ll get introduced to embeddings, vectors and semantic search in this “OpenSearch Vector Operations for Dummies” presentation. Hopefully it will bring a user-friendly path on a battle tested, fully open source platform.

Edge Orchestration: Challenges and Solutions by Scott Baker @ Intel

The edge differs from the cloud – rather than consisting of a handful of centralized infinitely-elastic Kubernetes clusters, the edge consists of thousands of geographically distributed edge nodes, often with constrained resources. The talk will begin with a discussion of the edge, how it differs from the cloud, and the unique challenges that this presents. After the overview of the edge, we will discuss Intel’s Open Edge Platform and its Edge Manageability Framework (EMF) that was built to demonstrate orchestration of edge nodes, Kubernetes Clusters, and applications to those clusters. The software is fully open source, actively developed, and readily available on GitHub.

We will discuss how we onboard and lifecycle the nodes, how we bring up Kubernetes clusters with our CAPI-based cluster management layer, and how we deploy and manage applications to those clusters. We will introduce technologies that enable the edge, such as Intel’s vPRO and Edge Microvisor Toolkit (EMT). We will talk about the architecture and design of this open-source project, and if time and connectivity permits, we will do a short demo to get a feel of the user interface.

Who Should Attend

Platform engineers, SREs, DevOps, app/platform teams, OSS maintainers, and anyone curious about Kubernetes, supply chain security, observability, eBPF/WASM, finops, or AI for infra/devex.

Please RSVP on Meetup if you have an account

Come out and join us to network with local cloud native peers.

Agenda: 5:00pm to 5:30pm – Munchies and Networking! Food sponsored by Red Hat

5:45pm - A conversation (or maybe surprise talk!) with Kelsey Hightower

Kelsey is a renowned software engineer, developer advocate, and speaker—celebrated for his role in shaping Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure, and previously a Distinguished Engineer at Google Cloud

6:15pm - The -ization of Containerization by Eric Ernst, Apple

The recent open sourcing of Apple Containerization framework and Container tooling projects enable developers to create and run Linux container images directly on their Mac in a way that focuses on security and privacy. In this talk we’ll talk about the container CLI tool and how it utilizes Containerization to provide simple yet powerful functionality to build, run and deploy Linux containers on Mac. We’ll talk about the architecture, why we wrote the framework and tool in Swift, what future development looks like, and how the community can get involved.

6:45pm - Kubernetes Operators by Wuxin Zeng, Red Hat

7:30pm – Networking and Board games!

None of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors:
