Your talk topic: Kubernetes Observability
Brief Description: Let us understand Observability !! You will find a range of tools on the CNCF ecosystem - How do we choose the right tool ? Let us understand some of the adapters and add-ons with Istio to collect a wide range of telemetry data. Some of the prominent ones being Prometheus to query metrics, then visualise using Grafana, visualise traces using Jaeger and finally visualise the service mesh using Kiali - everything using GKE.

Your talk topic: Time for some Chaos !!
Brief Description: How do you test your infrastructure esp. for resilience and reliability ? Create Chaos !
Let us understand Chaos Engineering - a branch of SRE that basically simulates any failures on your infra by injecting various faults. You basically proactively test your infra by breaking things with the ultimate goal of improving stability of the systems. The talk shall also showcase a demo using a popular Chaos Engineering tool like Gremlin and Litmus.
The demo covers the fundamental aspects of the Chaos Engineering Platform using Google Kubernetes Engine, understanding and designing Chaos Workflows, simulations for random pod deletion, network traffic and latency degradation, disk fill on ephemeral and persistent storage. Also, we shall cover the role of observability in Chaos Engg and some important metrics to find the resiliency score of your applications.

Your talk topic: Multi-Tenancy in GKE
Brief Description: Designing for Multi-tenancy on Kubernetes : Any SaaS platform when it scales - generally runs into this problem of a trade off - between infra and app. Should you isolate the app by hosting seperate instances or should you share the instances and have logical seperation. And top it up with Kubernetes - you add to the complexities. Let’s understand how to implement a multi-tenant solution on GKE.

Your talk topic: It was good until the bill arrived !!
Brief Description: Wasn’t the Cloud sold to you by the fact that it would reduce your IT expenditure. But now that you are adopting it across your organisation, are you seeing spurious spikes, unexplained charges and lot of additional costs into your invoices. You may have implemented DevOps now it’s time for FinOps. It is an operational framework and cultural shift that brings technology, finance, and business together to drive financial accountability and accelerate business value realization. Whatever stage of the cloud journey you’re at, FinOps practices will help you get the most value out of GCP (or any Cloud).
