Q&A

Is this the same as the User Day?

No. The User Day is just for end users and not contributors, whereas the Unconference is for everyone.

How can I contact the organisers?

As we are all community members, we all have different email addresses. You can contact Daniel Jones at cf-unconference@engineerbetter.com.

What is "open space"?

Open space is a format whereby the attendees nominate discussion topics, vote on which should be discussed, and then break out into groups to have those discussions.

Community Lightning Talk Abstracts

BOSH Generic Configurations and You - Marco Völz, SAP (5 mins)

BOSH has recently gained support for generic configurations. That means, additionally to a few pre-defined ones, such as cloud-config and runtime-config, users can come up with their own configuration types which they can upload to BOSH. Now that configuration is a first-level construct in BOSH, this allows for endless possibilities. Things that previously could only be configured on global level, such as resurrection policies, can be tuned much more fine-grained. Other things, that users didn't know where to store, can now be encapsulated in a configuration. The options are almost limitless!

Why you should learn to love the CF CVE disclosure process - Molly Crowther, Pivotal (5 mins)

Why does CF not give people time to fix CVEs before disclosing them publicly? I think it's something that makes the CF community unique. I'll explain it in less than 5 minutes and attempt to convince you that there is no better way.

PaaS Pitfalls, TL;DR Version - Sven Schmidt, Anynines (10 mins)

Getting yourself killed over memory spikes, Nanoservices lost between routers or fire-and-forget deploys of untested code on Friday. The number of errors you can do on a PaaS are less numerous than on an IaaS layer, but still there are some common errors and misconceptions about running on a Platform as a Service. Join Sven on the shortened version of his PaaS pitfalls presentation, originally given on the CF Meetup Berlin. Learn how you can avoid those pits and, if time permits, hear some stories from the daily life of a PaaS Operator.

Updates from CF Routing - Shannon Coen, Pivotal (5 mins)

BUILDPACKS...IN...SPACE! - Jonathan Matthews, EngineerBetter (5 mins)

TBC!

Hello Cloud Foundry meet Service Fabrik - An Open Source Cloud Foundry Broker++ - Ashish Jain, SAP (10 mins)

Cloud Foundry is an excellent platform for developing Cloud Native applications. These applications will also need backing services say RabbitMQ for messaging, Postgres for persistence, Redis for caching and so on. While provisioning these Services is an easy job, the more tough task is managing the day 2 operations which includes monitoring, backup, restore, updates, upgrades in a periodic automated way. Welcome to Service Fabrik - SAP's Open Source Cloud Foundry Broker which provides a well defined contract and framework to provision and operate services to close these gaps.
