 And I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Nikola Regetz working for Swisscom as a software engineer Hello, and my name is Bandkranig. I'm a technical lead at SAP cloud platform, and we both have the pleasure to Be the code track chairs for the core projects track and with that I think we've earned the honor to open up the track and talk a little bit about like What we what we did there so Essentially as a code track chair you are presented with all the submissions for a particular track and now that challenge is obviously to pick the ones That kind of fit that track best So we decided on a couple of selection criteria to actually do that So obviously first of all and that is maybe also a tip for people who are thinking about submitting Tracks for a cloud foundry summit or any tech conference in particular We looked at the title and abstract and asked ourselves like is that really interesting for the people that come to the core projects track kind of obvious right that then also Think about is what you are proposing really fitting to the track that you are proposing the topic into so we had a Couple of interesting proposals But we then ended up rejecting those because they did not really fit the bill of a core projects track So if you talk about I don't know an interesting customer project Then maybe there's other tracks at cloud foundry summit where such a talk fits fits way better So so that is one and then obviously we had to answer the question of like what is core projects anyhow? And then if you look up Kind of the cloud foundry open source projects on the cloud foundry homepage You obviously find out you have like bigger buckets You have cloud foundry application runtime the thing that was formerly called cloud foundry I would say then you have cloud foundry container runtime So Kubo The Bosch release that takes kubernetes and makes that deployable via Bosch You have obviously Bosch itself as the life cycle management tool powering many of the projects inside cloud foundry And we also like have talks around operations topics So it's not only about like those core technical things, but then also how how to run that stuff So that was one selection criteria and then it also turned out that we had Like two or even more talks that kind of met all that criteria But then we're targeting relatively similar spaces So we essentially ended up kind of putting them next to each other saying like which of those two or three Proposals is the most interesting one and and cover can cover the most broad space over there Beginning of June after we were assigned this duty Burned and myself synced and decided to go for a separate scoring and Assessment of all the submissions and then re-sync after maybe 10 days And then compare and see where we have matching Assessments and where we disagree to then discuss that And I personally try to not look at the authors or the speakers and the companies When doing these assessments to just find out after I had scores scored the submissions when we Compared that we had a perfect match. So either Fully accept or fully reject a submission. We would then not Spend too much time on it But there was a rough amount of like eight to nine submissions where we had some disagreement Where we discussed and then also like Bernd just said tried I Mean because all of these would have been acceptable But we had to be to to accept at most 12 Talks in total. So we tried to have a Overall coverage of at most topics as possible and then after these discussions we submitted a common Scoring Ultimately what you see in the schedule today and tomorrow in the core track Will be exactly what we submitted so the 12 that we accepted on our on the schedule Plus one that has been added. So you have a total of 13 talks in this track Okay, and with that just to Round off the intro a quick overview on the tracks that we have finally selected Including also the corresponding speakers and like the rough topic area that we thought this tracks would belong to So we're going to kick off the day with a talk on on Bosch links Then we are going to continue with the Bosch related topic and look into CICD around Bosch and how to auto-upgrade versions in inside Bosch packages Next up are the colleagues that are working on bringing in Istio Inside cloud foundry and what new capabilities that this will bring Then it's over again another networking related topic to container networking Which is obviously related to like the overall routing, but then slightly different perspective on it Then a comparison between cloud foundry application runtime and cloud foundry container runtime obviously that's a topic that Many people have questions about when to pick what Then we have Marco talking about SLOs and Bosch performance related topics so another Bosch topic and I think Marco pointed out there's quite a few Bosch related things as well So that's obviously part of the core track and then we have Matt and Nikolai talking about the services API So essentially the piece in cloud foundry that deals with the open service broker Then day two we have three talking about IAM we have the colleagues from IBM talking about Topics in the cloud controller area. We have Adam talking about a new component in the area of logging which is called lockcash We have a talk that we put in like the operations bucket which is around disaster recovery of the overall platform We have the garden windows team talking about the stuff that they are working on and then last but not least We have duck talking about the open service broker API specification in total and with that We hope that we have done a decent job in kind of touching all the areas that make up the cloud foundry core projects and We wish you nice two days and hopefully you stay in like one or the other talk that is happening in this room So Nikolai and I we will Try to hang out here as kind of our schedule allows and also try and moderate the session a little bit Kind of carry the microphones to the people asking questions as I said like as as our schedules allow it So with that, thank you very much and enjoy the two days at cloud foundry summit. Thank you very much
