In episode 5 of Season 2, Bertold Kolics joins us to talk about how running end-to-end tests in the CI/CD pipeline is now becoming more and more accessible. This includes running these tests as part of pull requests, merge events as well as deployment events. End-to-end testing no longer has to happen *after* deployment. New test automation offerings also enable manual testers and those without development skills to author end-to-end tests. This enables not only QA, developer collaboration, but also reduces the stress of deployment and the amount of rework once these tests are added to the deployment pipeline.

Join us to learn more about Ortelius, the CDF's newest incubating project.  Ortelius is a microservice management platform that visualizes ‘logical’ application versions in a microservice architecture. From packaging to deployment, Ortelius maps your microservice configurations with their relationships to the application that use them.  Your microservice configurations are versioned and tracked across all clusters so you always know before you go.

Guest speaker: Angel Rivera

The adoption of CI/CD has automated the process of how DevOps teams build, test, and deliver software at rapid speeds and with high confidence. Although CI/CD platforms offer many benefits, in the attempt to make sophisticated pipelines, many teams run into the issue of “Pipeline Sprawl”. Pipeline sprawl makes it difficult for DevOps teams to identify and reuse common execution patterns which diminishes their ability to efficiently ship new code. In this talk, Angel will discuss the common pain points associated with existing CI/CD platforms. The talk will pull in examples from his recent experience and conversations with DevOps teams from across the open source community, startups, and large enterprises. Attendees will learn technical strategies to develop pipeline configurations that diminish potentially costly vendor-lock in.

Speaker: Saim Safder

As we all know Kubernetes is the defacto standard for running containerize workflows. The goal of the modern application developer and infrastructure engineer is to achieve a microservices base development.  As a result of the microservice shift, knowledge of how to leverage Kubernetes is required help facilitate scaling in the following scenarios: enterprise business, open source sector, and private corporate sector. This is why investing time in the kubernetes and cloud native landscape is essential. What people really want to know is how to implement CD with kubernetes and is it worth the investment? Is it too early to start? Join to hear more about Saim's perspective and expertise.
