Project Lightning Talk: Visualize And Manage Your Cloud-Native Infrastructure With Me... Yash Sharma

This talk covers the role of Meshery in visualizing and managing cloud-native infrastructure, particularly within Kubernetes. The speaker, Yash, who has experience as a developer advocate and maintainer, explains how Meshery simplifies the complexity that comes with managing multiple Kubernetes clusters. The platform offers a user-friendly dashboard allowing for drag-and-drop configuration and supports over 300 integrations within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ecosystem. Yash highlights the recent achievements of Meshery, including its growing popularity and the announcement of its V1.0 release, which introduces enhanced security features. He encourages audience members interested in contributing to the project to reach out for mentorship and support.

Hello everyone, good morning. Before we start the talk, I just want to appreciate that whoever is from Amsterdam, Amsterdam is really really beautiful. So, I'm really enjoying the time here I am I have. But yeah, let's get started with my talk. So, So, today we'll talking about the visualizing the communities infrastructure and cloud native infrastructure with Meshery. Those who are not aware of who I am, I'm

Yash. I work at Disclotion as a developer advocate, but before that I I've been a maintainer of this particular project for a while. And coming to the part of the cloud native management, if I give a quick introduction, it's just we have been using communities for for more than a decade, right? And it comes throughout those that time, we have came up with many multiple projects. If

you go to the CNCF landscape, you will find like 300 plus projects you will see in the CNCF landscape project for many many things, right? And it also grew complexity in your ML files and comes with a lot of complexity as well. When your infrastructure goes. So, this particular project was meant to help you manage your cloud native infrastructure or communities infrastructure more easily. Help you visualize

what's going on in your infrastructure. You know how you can fix it and collaborate with your peers, with your team members as well. So, this project this is the dashboard of the project. How does it look? It helps you to visualize and collaborate with your infrastructure as well. I'll show you quickly what how that it does. And it has a multi-cluster management support as well. So, if

you have two cluster, 10 cluster, hundreds of cluster, you can connect all of them with this single project, with the single dashboard and you can manage all of them. It's has a context of our policies for design. So, we have a concept of a design which is just a concept which we say design to so that you can design your infrastructure. You can drag and drop on

the UI itself. So, I'll show you that as well. Design catalog. So, design catalog is like a place where you can find best practices already made by other maintainers, project maintainer contributors, which you can reuse in your infrastructure, maybe in your team if you're using as a in in your team itself. So, you can do Meshery supports more than 300 plus integrations. So, you are seeing like

all of these projects right now in your CNCF ecosystem. It connects with most of the projects. So, you can drag and drop all of these projects in the canvas that we have. Just to give you a quick update, Meshery has been going really really fast. It's the sixth highest velocity project right now in the CNCF project. And we have crossed the 10K GitHub stars as well recently.

And one more update on the Meshery part, which is like we have separated two organizations in GitHub for Meshery is one for Meshery now has a two separate orgs. And Meshery also have a certified Meshery contributor, which is in collaboration with the CNCF. So, whoever is contributing get the certificate for A quick look if I try to give you, I hope that works. So, the quick look

is just like this is the platform it looks like. I will not design because we don't have a time, but you can connect with me after this talk if you want to. But it's like you can start with a template, drag and drop which template you like like any any engine extra template, you can select the official one which is published by the maintainers or other contributors

or engineers. And you can drag and drop them in the infrastructure. And then right now I'm not signed in, it's a free platform. And just go to the action and just deploy in my Kubernetes cluster which is connected. It comes with a lot of other features which is like making sure everything is working fine before deploying it. It gives shows you the error. It do the dry

run for you to make sure you are not deploying the wrong thing in your infrastructure. Okay. And today we are announcing Meshery's V1.0. So, we are happy to do that. And today after this talk, we will be announcing it soon. It will be official on the GitHub itself. So, it is coming with a lot of other governments related security other security features as well which will make

sure which makes your design more secure and so that you can collaborate with other team members and engineers in the cloud native ecosystems as well. It's a platform for all of your projects. So, if you contribute in Argo, if you contribute in FluxCon, if you in Flux or any project you contribute, you can go and try on the Meshery platform itself. It comes with a lot of

other things that I already mentioned that it's mentioned in this slide particular slide. We can skip this. Okay. So, the last part is like we have been the most popular project right now for a while on the LFX itself. We have graduated many many mentees for this particular project. I personally graduated from this project as a mentee. So, if you are a person who is looking to

contribute and looking for LFX mentorship program, it's a great platform. Go feel free to reach out to me or anyone in the engineering team. We would we love to connect with you and how we can support you to contribute in this particular project. Thank you everyone. I hope you enjoyed Wow, you were dead ass on time. Awesome. Thank you.
