Running personal infrastructure on Kubernetes

Blauer Salon

In summer 2021 I migrated my personal infra from a simple docker-compose based host to my very own Kubernetes cluster. Why? Because I wanted to. Other people made sourdough, I made overengineered infrastructure. In this talk I‘m gonna be explaining how I did it, what difficulties I faced and answer the question if it even was a good idea and if others should do this as well.
Kubernetes is about as enterprise as software can get, while also not steering into the terrible NDA plagued environment that most enterprise solutions seem to be living in. It has a large and very welcoming community, who will happily help newcomers out. Seems like a pretty great place to start if you want to learn more about cloud hosting and enterprise stuff in general. Well, that’s what I did. In my dayjob, I don’t do much infrastructure related tasks. I‘m mostly a frontend developer and while I knew my way around a docker environment, I knew that if I wanted to do more infra stuff, I’d have a lot to learn. Over the course of a month, I set up a testing cluster on a couple of VMs at home, migrated all of my applications to work on that, and deployed on my own public production cluster. This whole process was really fun and I learned a lot, however it also was not entirely without tears. More than a year later, everything is still running without any major outages or security incidents. [insert funny Star Trek enterprise joke somewhere in here]

Are you the kind of person who, when given a personalized link with some number in it, will always try out different numbers to see if things are secured? Do you enjoy exposing security mishaps and edge cases that weren’t thought off by developers, not for profit but for the simple fun of it? If that describes you, I’ve got another thing you could try to feed your curiosity: putting emoji where they don’t belong. It‘s gonna break more stuff than you’d think.🏳️‍⚧️

Die letzten Jahre, und insbesondere das Agieren der Bundes- und Landesregierungen wenn IT Infrastruktur im Umgang mit der Pandemie bzw. deren Auswikrungen benötigt worden wären, haben zu zahlreichen "interessanten" Meldungen in den Medien geführt. Ich möchte in diesem Talk einige der Ereignisse nochmal Revue passieren lassen und aus den Ereignissen und Vorkommnissen auch Handlungsempfehlungen und Grundlagen für weitere Diskussionen zu dem Thema ableiten.

Glaubt mensch der öffentlichen und politischen Kommunikation rund um das "EU Convid Certificate" aka. den "Green Pass", wie er in der Politik gerne genannt wird, so könnte mensch den Eindruck gewinnen, dass es sich dabei um schwarze Magie handelt, die niemand verstehen kann. In diesem Talk möchte ich aufzeigen, wie elegant das "EU Digital COVID Certificate" eigentlich entworfen wurde, dass die Technologie dahinter eigentlich sehr einfach zu verstehen ist, die Limitation (zusätzlicher Ausweis ...
