Languages of Infra

More than just Infrastructure as a Service, today we have libraries, languages, and platforms that help us define our infra. Languages of Infra explore languages and libraries being used today to build modern cloud native architectures.

Helm: Past, Present, Future

Wednesday Nov 4 / 10:50AM PST

Building towards Helm 4, we had to continually ask ourselves what exactly we were trying to build. In the aftermath of Helm 3, we have reached new levels of clarity about where we want to go, and how we want to build a tool that continues to serve the needs of the Kubernetes community.

Interactive Session

Languages of Infra Panel: Bash to Ruby to Go to Rust

Wednesday Nov 4 / 12:30PM PST

When we think of infrastructure, it's natural to think of shell scripts, but over the past few decades, there have been successive waves of newer languages being used to write and run infrastructure software. Ruby held the crown for a while, but then many things that started out in Ruby got rewritten in Go. More recently Rust has started to become the language of choice for new infrastructure projects.

This panel will pull together experts from across the language landscape to discuss what they see as the benefits and compromises of different choices. As an audience member, you can expect to hear about where to learn more, and have the chance to ask the panel questions.
