[1352.32 --> 1353.28] It's been an absolute pleasure.
[1353.62 --> 1353.94] Thank you.
[1354.10 --> 1354.94] Thank you for having me.
[1370.62 --> 1374.40] This episode is brought to you by our friends at Incident.io.
[1374.80 --> 1379.06] Every software team on the planet has to manage incidents and a very large percentage of those
[1379.06 --> 1381.00] teams are using Slack to communicate.
[1381.18 --> 1382.16] That includes us.
[1382.48 --> 1387.42] With Incident.io, you can create, manage, and resolve incidents directly inside Slack.
[1387.70 --> 1388.62] Here's how it works.
[1388.88 --> 1390.96] Head to Incident.io and sign up for free.
[1391.18 --> 1392.60] Then add it to your Slack.
[1392.76 --> 1396.62] From there, you have a brand new incidents channel where all incidents get announced.
[1397.00 --> 1399.56] Use the slash incident command to create and manage incidents.
[1399.98 --> 1404.36] This command lets you share updates, assign roles, set important links, and more,
[1404.68 --> 1406.54] all without ever leaving the Incident channel.
[1406.94 --> 1411.94] Each Incident gets their own Slack channel plus a high-res dashboard at Incident.io
[1411.94 --> 1414.42] with the entire timeline from report to resolution.
[1414.96 --> 1418.16] Get everyone on the same page from the moment they join the Incident and help stakeholders
[1418.16 --> 1419.02] stay in the loop.
[1419.38 --> 1423.52] Add Incident, IO to your Slack today and prove to yourself and your team that they have everything
[1423.52 --> 1425.12] you need to streamline your incident management.
[1425.60 --> 1428.02] Learn more and sign up for free at Incident.io.
[1428.32 --> 1429.38] No credit card required.
[1429.38 --> 1431.38] Again, Incident.io.
[1444.50 --> 1451.24] So, out of everyone that I spoke to so far, Dan, you're the first one that you're at KubeCon
[1451.24 --> 1451.92] in person.
[1452.30 --> 1455.18] So, tell us what's it like for everyone that couldn't make it.
[1455.30 --> 1456.04] Yeah, absolutely.
[1456.04 --> 1460.70] Well, first of all, it is incredibly nice to be able to see folks that I haven't been
[1460.70 --> 1464.76] able to see in a number of years and also some folks I've never met in person before.
[1464.96 --> 1469.94] So, regardless of the whole situation with COVID and all, I definitely feel very privileged
[1469.94 --> 1472.06] to be here and don't take that lightly.
[1472.38 --> 1478.00] In terms of, you know, comparing to previous KubeCons, I've actually been mostly to virtual
[1478.00 --> 1481.70] KubeCons just because, you know, we've been in this pandemic stage for so long.
[1481.70 --> 1486.86] I did have the opportunity to go to KubeCon in San Diego in person, which obviously you
[1486.86 --> 1489.80] remember because we recorded a great podcast episode there.
[1490.08 --> 1491.76] And it definitely feels different from that.
[1491.90 --> 1496.98] The CNCF has done an incredible job of making this a very safe environment with their health
[1496.98 --> 1497.94] and safety protocols.
[1498.18 --> 1502.88] So, that's been very impressive in terms of spacing, in terms of making sure everyone's
[1502.88 --> 1508.08] comfort levels with being close to people or being in proximity of others is adhered to.
[1508.22 --> 1509.60] That's been very impressive.
[1509.60 --> 1514.30] There's absolutely less attendance than there has been at past KubeCons.
[1514.66 --> 1518.84] And one of the things that I've noticed is there's a lot more just community members
[1518.84 --> 1522.84] here rather than end users, I'd say, which has pros and cons, right?
[1522.86 --> 1526.24] It's always really nice to talk to end users because they're the folks that really motivate
[1526.24 --> 1530.18] product roadmaps and CNCF project roadmaps and that sort of thing.
[1530.24 --> 1532.22] And it's really valuable to hear from them.
[1532.36 --> 1535.68] But it's also really nice to be able to collaborate with other projects.
[1535.68 --> 1540.18] So, I've been spending a lot of time just talking to other maintainers, talking to other companies,
[1540.60 --> 1544.12] seeing what they're up to, talking about different integrations that could be possible.
[1544.54 --> 1549.98] So, it's a different feel, but its unique atmosphere, I think, is really advantageous in some respects.
[1550.54 --> 1551.50] That sounds great.
[1551.60 --> 1553.62] So, how did you make it work, Jared?
[1554.04 --> 1555.78] Because I know that you're remote, right?
[1555.78 --> 1557.94] But you have the virtual office hours.
[1558.14 --> 1559.34] How did you make those works?
[1559.44 --> 1560.16] Did they help?
[1560.68 --> 1561.84] How did that feel for you?
[1562.08 --> 1563.38] Yeah, it's actually kind of interesting.
[1563.50 --> 1566.24] I was just thinking about it and reflecting a little bit while Dan was answering.
[1566.56 --> 1568.60] And so, you know, actually, so I live in San Diego.
[1568.88 --> 1574.02] And so, I'm actually fairly close to, in proximity to where KubeCons is being held in Los Angeles.
[1574.52 --> 1578.14] But then my schedule ended up getting booked up with so many virtual commitments
[1578.14 --> 1583.70] that it didn't make it super possible to go up there and then do everything, you know, all at the same time.
[1583.70 --> 1589.20] And so, yeah, so it's, I mean, the CNCF does a good job with organizing this and making all the virtual events possible
[1589.20 --> 1594.18] to kind of be inclusive and make sure that as a hybrid event, people are getting opportunities to participate
[1594.18 --> 1597.74] if they're either in person, but also back at home, wherever that may be.
[1598.06 --> 1602.92] So, the virtual office hours that we ran yesterday was quite successful with, you know, a lot of people joining in,
[1603.26 --> 1604.86] a lot of questions being asked also.
[1605.06 --> 1611.34] And so, you know, the ability to connect with people virtually and not feel left out from the in-person event running on
[1611.34 --> 1615.92] is, I think, actually working quite well and everyone's still feeling, as far as I can tell,
[1616.04 --> 1619.28] pretty connected and getting lots of chances to participate, which is really good.
[1619.58 --> 1623.94] Were there any questions that really stood out to you, something like really memorable that made you think
[1623.94 --> 1626.52] or something really interesting that you weren't expecting?
[1626.90 --> 1628.80] There were a lot of good questions yesterday.
[1629.16 --> 1634.04] One of the things that's kind of, I've realized too, is that while I'm presenting and questions are flooding in,
[1634.14 --> 1639.16] it's really, really good to have multiple people there to be able to support and answer questions
[1639.16 --> 1642.22] and do that asynchronously in addition to the ones we answer on camera,
[1642.28 --> 1645.74] because there's just too many questions to answer on camera and also get through all the material.
[1646.22 --> 1649.12] So, you know, I was trying to focus on delivering the material,
[1649.22 --> 1651.30] why everyone else was attacking all the questions.
[1651.72 --> 1655.64] So, Dan, do you remember any specific ones that, you know, you were jumping on while I was presenting?
[1656.08 --> 1656.62] Yeah, absolutely.
[1656.82 --> 1659.16] Like you said, there were a lot of really great questions.
[1659.32 --> 1664.70] The ones that really stuck out to me, and this is something that's kind of been a point of interest for folks
[1664.70 --> 1668.52] throughout all of CrossPlan's lifecycle, and that's handling of sensitive data.
[1668.52 --> 1672.78] So with CrossPlan, we have two major kind of sources of sensitive data,
[1672.92 --> 1676.60] one of them being credentials to talk to cloud providers or external APIs,
[1677.18 --> 1681.66] and the other being credentials to communicate with the infrastructure that you're provisioning
[1681.66 --> 1683.36] using those external APIs.
[1684.02 --> 1689.48] And so some of the progress we've made around being able to supply external API credentials
[1689.48 --> 1694.46] via secret stores like Vault and injecting those into the file system of our providers
[1694.46 --> 1699.60] and that sort of thing, as well as some of the proposals around how we publish connection details
[1699.60 --> 1701.06] to that infrastructure that comes up.
[1701.22 --> 1706.42] It's always really exciting when you go from one conference to, you know, the next iteration of it,
[1706.60 --> 1710.90] and you have some solutions for the folks that had questions about that the previous time,
[1710.90 --> 1715.10] or you at least have something where you have a design for what it's going to look like.
[1715.10 --> 1719.56] So those kind of topic areas around security and credentials and that sort of thing
[1719.56 --> 1722.60] was something that really stuck out to me in the questions that we got.
