Food sponsored by Red Hat \;\n \;\n5:45pm - A conversation (or maybe s urprise talk!) with Kelsey Hightower \;\n \;\nKelsey is a renowned software engineer\, developer advocate\, and speaker—celebrated for his role in shaping Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure\, and previo usly a Distinguished Engineer at Google Cloud \;\n \;\n6:15pm - Th e -ization of Containerization by Eric Ernst\, Apple \;\n \;\nThe recent open sourcing of Apple Containerization framework and Container t ooling projects enable developers to create and run Linux container imag es 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 architect ure\, why we wrote the framework and tool in Swift\, what future develop ment looks like\, and how the community can get involved. \;\n \;\ n6:45pm - Kubernetes Operators by Wuxin Zeng\, Red Hat \;\n \;\n7: 30pm – Networking and Board games! \;\n \;\nNone of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors: \;\n \;\n Thanks to Repe rio Health for sponsoring the meetup space \;\n Thanks to Red Hat for sponsoring the food \;\n\n\nTags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud \, operations\, macOS\, apple\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/eve nts/1250482176 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/310310245 SUMMARY:Cloud Native PDX: Kubernetes\, Containerization & Operators LOCATION:Reperio Health: 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland OR 97202 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251103T183814Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251106T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251106T170000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251103T183814Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251103T183814Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482268 DESCRIPTION: \;\nRSVP: \;\nhttps://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx /events/311422780/ \;\n \;\nOpenSearch - Your Friendly Neighborhoo d Vector Database by Nathan Boot @ AWS \;\n \;\nOpenSearch\, aside from being a search\, analytics\, and observability solution\, often ge ts overlooked as a fully functioning open source vector database. I’d ve ry much like the opportunity to showcase the progress we’ve made here at the OpenSearch project implementing vector database operations and maki ng them accessible to developers of all skill levels. \;\n \;\nLet ’s learn how to create and query vector embeddings\, the basis for seman tic search and RAG. You’ll get introduced to embeddings\, vectors and se mantic search in this “OpenSearch Vector Operations for Dummies” present ation. Hopefully it will bring a user-friendly path on a battle tested\, fully open source platform. \;\n \;\nEdge Orchestration: Challeng es and Solutions by Scott Baker @ Intel \;\n \;\nThe edge differs from the cloud – rather than consisting of a handful of centralized infi nitely-elastic Kubernetes clusters\, the edge consists of thousands of g eographically 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 ove rview of the edge\, we will discuss Intel’s Open Edge Platform and its E dge Manageability Framework (EMF) that was built to demonstrate orchestr ation of edge nodes\, Kubernetes Clusters\, and applications to those cl usters. The software is fully open source\, actively developed\, and rea dily available on GitHub. \;\n \;\nWe will discuss how we onboard and lifecycle the nodes\, how we bring up Kubernetes clusters with our C API-based cluster management layer\, and how we deploy and manage applic ations 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 fee l of the user interface. \;\n \;\nAgenda \;\n \;\n5:30–6:00 — Check-in\, snacks\, networking \;\n6:00–6:30 — OpenSearch - Your Fr iendly Neighborhood Vector Database \;\n6:30 - 7:00 — Edge Orchestrat ion: Challenges and Solutions \;\n7:00–8:00 — Networking (and games i f anyone wants to bring some!) \;\n \;\nWho Should Attend \;\n& #13\;\nPlatform engineers\, SREs\, DevOps\, app/platform teams\, OSS mai ntainers\, and anyone curious about Kubernetes\, supply chain security\, observability\, eBPF/WASM\, finops\, or AI for infra/devex. \;\n\n\n Tags: cloudnative\, pdxtech\, opensource\n\nImported from: http://calaga tor.org/events/1250482268 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/311422780/ SUMMARY:Cloud Native PDX meetup LOCATION:Reperio Health: 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland OR 97202 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260107T001352Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260122T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260122T173000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260107T001352Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260107T001352Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482384 DESCRIPTION:Let’s kick off 2025 with another great evening of cloud-nativ e learning\, real-world talks\, and hallway conversations with Portland’ s platform-engineering community. \;\n \;\nDate: Thursday\, Januar y 22 \;\nTime: 5:30–7:30 PM \;\nLocation: Reperio Health\, 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland\, OR \;\nRecording: Talks are typicall y recorded (opt-in by speakers) \;\n \;\nThe Observability Reset: 4 Foundational Principles for O11y That Scales by Noam Levy\, CTO at gro undcover \;\n \;\nLet’s face it\, collecting metrics\, logs\, and traces isn’t enough anymore. Most o11y stacks today are drowning in tele metry\, buried in cost overruns\, and spread so thin across tools that t hey’ve become more noise than signal. The classic SaaS-based model is cr acking. \;\n \;\nThis talk lays out 4 foundational principles for building a sustainable observability posture - that scale with infra and budget: \;\n \;\n* Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC): SaaS o11y is fina ncially unsustainable at scale. \;\n* Consolidate or Bust: DevEx suff ers when visibility is fragmented- consolidation isn’t a luxury - it’s a requirement. \;\n* Standardize Everything: Open protocols\, pluggabl e pipelines\, and vendor-neutral APIs are the only way forward\, or your o11y is a ticking liability. \;\n* Self-Reliance: You can’t rely on app-level instrumentation forever - eBPF enables scalable o11y without c omplexity \;\n \;\nThis session pulls from real-world deployments and lessons learned helping engineering teams scale visibility without c ompromise. \;\n \;\n### \;\n \;\n“What It’s Like to Learn Cl oud-Native Today — A Beginner’s Kubernetes Story” by Kelis Hightower \;\n \;\nWhen given the chance to explore cloud-native development\, I chose not to avoid the unfamiliar. With no prior Kubernetes experience and only a few weeks to learn\, I took a hands-on approach by building a small burnout-aware study tool to ground abstract concepts in somethin g tangible. \;\n \;\nThis talk shares what it’s like to learn clou d-native technologies today from a beginner’s perspective. Through exper imentation with containers\, Kubernetes\, and cloud services\, I’ll refl ect on the mental model shifts\, early misconceptions\, and “aha” moment s that emerged from learning by building. Rather than focusing on expert ise\, this would offer an honest look at what beginners actually take aw ay from a short\, modern introduction to cloud-native systems. \;\n&# 13\;\n## Agenda \;\n \;\n5:30–6:00 — Check-in\, snacks\, networkin g \;\n6:00–6:30 — The Observability Reset (Noam Levy) \;\n6:30–7:0 0 — Beginner’s Kubernetes Story (Kelis Hightower) \;\n7:00–7:30 — Net working (and games if anyone wants to bring some!) \;\n \;\n## Who Should Attend \;\n \;\nPlatform engineers\, SREs\, DevOps\, app/p latform teams\, OSS maintainers\, beginners learning cloud-native\, and anyone curious about observability\, Kubernetes\, modern infra\, or deve loper experience. \;\n \;\n## Sponsors \;\n \;\nVenue Sponso r — Reperio Health \;\nF&\;B Sponsor — groundcover \;\n\n\nTags : kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, observability\, programming\n\nImpor ted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482384 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/312652759 SUMMARY:January Cloud Native PDX Meetup: Observability\, Kubernetes\, and the Beginner’s Journey LOCATION:Reperio Health: 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland OR 97202 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260210T190745Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260226T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260226T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260210T190745Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260210T190745Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482466 DESCRIPTION:All things DevOps.

Enter MicroShift\, a small-footprint Kubernetes distr ibution\, paired with Fedora Bootc\, an image-based\, immutable operatin g system built for consistency and resilience. \;\n \;\nIn this se ssion\, 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 ro llbacks. Learn how this approach reduces operational complexity\, improv es boot-time performance\, and enhances system integrity—especially for unattended or resource-constrained edge environments. \;\n \;\nMin d the Gap: Tracking AWS Infrastructure Drift Over Time - Christopher Buc kley\, Buckshot Technologies \;\n \;\nModern DevOps pipelines focu s heavily on deploying infrastructure-as-code\, but what happens after t he deploy? In many organizations\, the infrastructure evolves outside of Git — through the console\, ad hoc scripts\, or third-party tools — lea ving behind blind spots and compliance risk. \;\n \;\nIn 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 accou nts in a format that’s accessible to engineers\, auditors\, and security teams alike. \;\n \;\nWe'll demo an open-source tool built to sho w Git-style diffs for AWS infrastructure — not as a pitch\, but as a cas e study in how visibility empowers better decisions\, faster troubleshoo ting\, and cleaner audit trails. Whether you're running one VPC or a hun dred\, knowing what changed is the first step to staying in control.\n\n Tags: kubernetes\, containers\, cloud\, intrastructure\, aws\, devops\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482477 URL:https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/313348836 SUMMARY:Cloud Native March Meetup: Microshift\, Bootc\, and AWS Infrastru cture LOCATION:Reperio Health: 4784 SE 17th Ave Suite 120\, Portland OR 97202 U SA SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
