Tutorial: Your Application, Batteries In... Brandt K, Austin A, William C, Merijn K & Jessica K-D

This tutorial addresses the challenges of delivering modern applications consistently across various environments using Kubernetes. The speakers, Brandt Keller, Austin Abro, William Crum, Merijn Keppel, and Jessica Keppel-Drost, introduce Zarf, an OpenSSF Sandbox Project, which allows for the creation of a single, verifiable artifact containing all necessary application components, including containers, manifests, and policies. Participants will engage in hands-on activities to build a comprehensive application package, learn to sign and verify its contents, and deploy it in both connected and airgapped environments. This session emphasizes secure software delivery, provenance, and reproducibility through practical workflows.
