Zitadel goes beyond basic authentication into threat intelligence & analysis of authentication data

ActiveState has been working on managing open source dependencies and builds for over 20 years. They take an 'SBOM-first' approach, generating Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) first before building applications, providing visibility into dependencies. Active State's platform can discover open source components used across an organization, prioritize vulnerabilities, and provide intelligent remediation recommendations. Tune in as Scott Robertson, CTO, and Pete Garcin, Senior Director of Product at ActiveState talk about all things open source security.

Florian Forster, CEO & Co-Founder, Zitadel, joins us in this episode to discuss the challenges of authentication in cloud-native and Kubernetes environments, such as managing token expiration, revocation, and scalability. Forster highlights some common anti-patterns in authentication, like cramming too much data into access tokens and running expensive operations against the identity infrastructure. He shares his vision for the future of authentication, including consolidation with authorization solutions and providing analytical capabilities on identity data. Tune into this episode for a deep dive into authentication.

Vasil Kaftandzhiev and Pete Wall of Grafana Labs join us today to talk about all things Kubernetes observability. Grafana aims to make observability easy by providing tools to get started easily, blend Kubernetes best practices with Grafana Cloud features, and build custom dashboards for precise Kubernetes needs. Grafana offers integrations with various databases, services, and tools out-of-the-box, and supports open telemetry for custom integrations.

Rotem Tamir, CTO, Ariga, joins us today to talk about Atlas, a database-schema-as-code tool that takes a declarative approach to managing database schemas. It enables developers to define the desired state of the schema, and Atlas then handles the planning, verification, and deployment of changes. This way, changes to the schema are automatically planned, verified, and deployed through a GitHub action. Atlas helps platform engineers standardize schema management across different development stacks and provides a control plane for monitoring and governance. Listen to know all about a modern approach to database schema management.

SLOs are metrics that specify measurable performance goals for a service. Brian Singer, Co-Founder/Chief Product Officer, Nobl9, joins us to talk about all things SLOs. Nobl9 sits on top of existing telemetry data (logs, metrics, traces) and makes it easy to define, manage, and use SLOs within an organization. Tune in to find out how Nobl9 shows you which services have run out of error budget, alerts on SLO violations, and how to define SLOs using Kubernetes-style YAML configuration.

Alois Reitbauer, Chief Technology Strategist at Dynatrace joins us to talk about his 17-year journey at Dynatrace, from being employee #30 to the company's growth to around 5,000 employees. He describes 3 types of AI: predictive AI for anomaly detection, causal AI for root cause analysis, and generative AI for automation and remediation. He highlights Dynatrace's focus on different user roles, including developers, SREs, DevOps teams, security teams, and business users. Tune in for this interesting chat on cloud-native observability as it stands today.

Rackspace has been around for 25 years and has evolved from managed hosting to cloud services like OpenStack and Kubernetes. Today, Rackspace offers a managed Kubernetes platform that provides initial setup, architecture guidance, operations, and optional transfer of ownership to the customer. They see Kubernetes and OpenStack as complementary technologies, with OpenStack providing native multi-tenancy and resource segregation capabilities. Rackspace has recently introduced Spot, a market-driven compute platform where customers bid for resources. Tune in to find out what's the latest and greatest from Rackspace.

Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder & CTO, Komodor, joins us to talk about the product they are building that simplifies Kubernetes for Dev & Ops teams. It caters to both experienced and novice users. Their KlaudiaAI feature is able to quickly pull insights on why deployments fail, which security certificates need attention and a lot more. Listen in to see what an innovative Kubernetes management platform looks like.

The problem with traditional load testing is that it's often done in staging environments, or in production simulations. That yields inaccurate results, and springs surprises later. Artillery offers the ability to load test in actual production environments. They do this in a safe, scalable, and cloud-native way. Hassy Veldstra - Founder & CEO, Artillery, joins us to talk about the open source project and startup he's created around this very idea.

WireGuard is a popular open source VPN tunnel solution. It has done much to improve traditional VPNs. Netmaker builds on top of this foundation to bring state-of-the-art zero-trust capabilities to VPN. For any business that needs remote access to resources for its people, devices, and software, VPN is not outdated, but very much alive and well with the innovative approach Netmaker takes.
