Talk Details

· Orchestrating Cloud Development Environments on Kubernetes (Eric Paulsen)

As development environments become increasingly complex, cloud-native solutions are essential for fostering agility and consistency. In this session, Eric Paulsen (Field CTO, Coder), will dive into how Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate cloud development environments that are scalable, secure, and cost-effective. Coder’s platform enables developers to provision fully-configured, containerized development environments that run seamlessly on Kubernetes. By leveraging Kubernetes, Coder streamlines development environment management, ensures consistency across teams, and improves developer productivity.

Eric Paulsen is the Field CTO and VP of the EMEA Organization at Coder.com, an open-source, self-hosted cloud development environment platform. He is the Founding Sales Engineer at Coder and leads Developer Experience transformation for customers in highly regulated industries.

· Reusable Rancher (Fraser Davidson, CTO, Frontier)

In this talk we'll show you how to get started automating Rancher, from server to multi-cluster apps. We'll be using a cloud managed Kubernetes service and a CI/CD platform - plus tools like Helm and Terraform - to demo how you can deploy and operate Rancher in automation, developer playground to production.
