etcd is an open source distributed consistent key-value store that was introduced by the team at CoreOS. Since its release two years ago it has become a mature cornerstone of a variety of systems in the container ecosystem for doing networking, service discovery, configuration management and load balancing. This talk will explore what etcd is, how it works, why it is used, and introduce etcd v3. Brandon will show how a cluster is maintained and some best practices. It will show off some example applications built on etcd such as locksmith, vulcand, Kubernetes, skydns and confd.
CoreOS is an excellent starting point for a secure environment, but there are many challenges to deploying and managing CoreOS under common compliance requirements. Compliance itself does not provide security, but it can present roadblocks to adopting revolutionarily awesome technology. A reduced attack surface, automatic updates, a slimmed down base OS, modern systemd and new automation tools should make a system more secure, but they also invalidate traditional approaches to compliance, and raise red flags for people unfamiliar with the technology.
This talks shares our experiences and explores solutions to deploy and manage CoreOS in light of common compliance themes. The presentation will also serve as a guide to those who are leading change in their organizations and are interested in showing how CoreOS can be adopted in the face of traditional ideas about compliance.
