Are in-person tech conferences back in fashion? Or are engineers just willing to travel for fresh baguettes? In this post, I round up a few highlights from KubeCon Europe 2024, held March 19-24 in Paris. My last KubeCon was in Detroit in 2022, when tech events were still slowly recovering from COVID. But KubeCon EU in Paris was buzzing, with more than 12,000 attendees! I couldn’t even get into a few of the most popular talks because the lines to get in wrapped around the exhibition hall even after the rooms were full. Fortunately, the CNCF has already posted all the talk recordings so we can catch up on what we missed in person. Now that I’ve been back home for a bit, here are a few highlights I rounded up from KubeCon EU 2024. Docker at KubeCon If you stopped by the Docker booth, you may have seen our Megennis Motorsport Racing experience. The KubeCon EU 2024 Docker booth featured a Megennis Motorsport Racing experience. Or you may have talked to one of our engineers about our new fast Docker Build Cloud experience. Everyone I talked to about Build Cloud got it immediately. I’m proud of all the work we did to make fast, hosted image builds work seamlessly with the existing docker build. KubeCon booth visitors ran 173 identical builds using both Docker Build Cloud and GHA. Build Cloud builds took an average of 32 seconds each compared to GHA’s 159 sec/build. Docker Build Cloud wasn’t the only new product we highlighted at KubeCon this year. I also got a lot of questions about Docker Scout and how to track image dependencies. Our Head of Security, Rachel Taylor, was available to demo Docker Scout for curious customers. Chloe Cucinotta, a Director in Docker’s marketing org, hands out eco-friendly swag for booth visitors. Photo by Docker Captain Mohammad-Ali A’râbi. Docker Scout and Sysdig Security Day In addition to live Docker Scout demos at the booth, Docker Scout was represented at Kubecon through a co-sponsored AMA panel and party with Sysdig Security Day. The event aimed to raise awareness around Docker’s impact on securing the software supply chain and how to solve concrete security issues with Docker Scout. It was an opportunity to explore topics in the cloud-native and open source security space alongside industry leaders Snyk and Sysdig. The AMA panel featured Rachel Taylor, Director of Information Security, Risk, & Trust at Docker, who discussed approaches to securing the software supply chain. The post-content party served as an opportunity for Docker to hear more about our shared customers’ unique challenges one-on-one. Through participation in the event, Docker customers were able to learn more about how the Sysdig runtime monitoring integration within Docker Scout results in even more actionable insights and remediation recommendations. Live from the show floor Docker CEO Scott Johnston spoke with theCUBE hosts Savannah Peterson and Rob Strechay to discuss Docker Build Cloud. “What used to take an hour is now a minute and a half,” he explained. Testcontainers and OpenShift During KubeCon, we announced that Red Hat and Testcontainers have partnered to provide Testcontainers in OpenShift. This collaboration simplifies the testing process, allowing developers to efficiently manage their workflows without compromising on security or flexibility. By streamlining development tasks, this solution promises a significant boost in productivity for developers working within containerized environments.

Eli Aleyner (Head of Technical Alliances at Docker) and Daniel Oh (Senior Principal Technical Marketing Manager at Red Hat) take a selfie at the Red Hat booth. Eli Aleyner (Head of Technical Alliances at Docker) and Daniel Oh (Senior Principal Technical Marketing Manager at Red Hat) provided a demo and an AMA at the Red Hat booth. Must-watch talks During the Friday keynote, Bob Wise, CEO of Heroku, describes a lightbulb moment when he first heard about Docker as part of his discussion about the beginnings of cloud-native. For a long time, I’ve felt that the Kubernetes API model has been its superpower. The investment in easy ways to extend Kubernetes with CRDs and the controller-runtime project are unlocking a bunch of exciting platform engineering projects. Here are a few of the many talks that I and other people on my team really liked, and that are on YouTube now. Platform In his talk Building a Large Scale Multi-Cloud Multi-Region SaaS Platform with Kubernetes Controllers, I loved how Sébastien Guilloux (Elastic) explains how to put all the pieces together to help build a multi-region platform. It takes advantage of the nice bits of Kubernetes controllers, while also questioning the assumptions about how global state should work. Stefan Proda (ControlPlane) gave a talk on GitOps Continuous Delivery at Scale with Flux. Flux has a strong, opinionated point of view on how CI/CD tools should interact with CRDs and the events API. There were a few different talks on Crossplane that I’d like to go back and watch. We’ve been experimenting a lot with Crossplane at Docker, and we like how it fits into Helm and Image Registries in a way that fits in with our existing image and registry tools. AI Of course, people at KubeCon are infra nerds, so when we think about AI, we first think about all those GPUs the AIs are going to need. There was an armful of GPU provisioning talks. I attended the How KubeVirt Improves Performance with CI-Driven Benchmarking, and You Can Too. Speakers Ryan Hallisey and Alay Patel from Nvidia talked about driving down the time to allocate VMs with GPUs. But how is AI going to fit into how we run and operate servers on Kubernetes? There was less consensus on this point, but it was fun to make random guesses on what it might look like. When I was hanging out at the AuthZed booth, I made a joke about asking an AI to write my infra access control rules, and they mostly laughed and rolled their eyes. Slimming and debugging Here’s a container journey I see a lot these days: I have a fat container image. I get a security alert about a vulnerability in one of that image’s dependencies that I don’t even use. I switch to a slimmer base image, like a distroless image. Oops! Now the image doesn’t work and is annoying to debug because there’s no shell. But we’re making progress on making this easier! In his KubeCon talk Is Your Image Really Distroless?, Docker’s Laurent Goderre walked through how to use multi-stage builds and init containers to separate out the build + init dependencies from the steady-state runtime dependencies. Ephemeral containers in Kubernetes graduated to stable in 2022. In their talk, Building a Tool to Debug Minimal Container Images in Kubernetes, Docker, and ContainerD, Kyle Quest (AutonomousPlane) and Saiyam Pathak (Civo) showed how you can use the ephemeral containers API to build tooling for creating a shell in a distroless container without a shell. Talk slide showing the comparison of different approaches for running commands in a minimal container image with no shell. One thing that Kyle and Saiyam mentioned was how useful Nix and Nixery.dev is for building these kinds of debugging tools. We’re also using Nix in docker debug. Docker engineer Johannes Grossman says that Nix solves some problems around dynamic linking that he calls “the clash-free composability property of Nix.” See you in Salt Lake City! Now that we’ve recovered from the action-packed KubeCon in Paris, we can start planning for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024. We’ll see you in beautiful Salt Lake City!

Apple today announced official dates for the 35th annual Worldwide Developers Conference, which is set to begin on Monday, June 10. In its announcements, Apple sometimes gives us minor hints on what to expect, and Greg Joswiak is making some not-so-subtle references to AI. In a tweet, Joswiak said that the WWDC 2024 event is going to be "Absolutely Incredible," and he deliberately capitalized the first two letters of each word, AI. Mark your calendars for #WWDC24, June 10-14. It’s going to be Absolutely Incredible! pic.twitter.com/YIln5972ZD — Greg Joswiak (@gregjoz) March 26, 2024 There have been multiple rumors suggesting that AI will be a major focus in iOS 18, macOS 15, and other operating system updates that are set to come out this year. Apple will add AI features to many of its built-in apps, and the company is in talk with Google and other companies about integrating an existing large language model (LLM) into ‌iOS 18‌. Over the course of the last few months, Apple executives have confirmed Apple's work on AI, Apple CEO Tim Cook said in February that Apple plans to "break new ground" on generative AI in 2024. "We believe it will unlock transformative opportunities for our users," said Cook. Cook in November confirmed that Apple was "investing quite a bit" in AI, and during Apple's most recent earnings call, he said that Apple was spending a "tremendous amount of time and effort" on AI, with details set to come out later in 2024. ‌WWDC 2024‌ is set to take place during the week of June 10, and it will begin with a keynote event that will see the unveiling of ‌iOS 18‌ and other operating system updates.Related Roundups: iOS 18, WWDC 2024Related Forum: Apple, Inc and Tech Industry This article, "Apple Hints at iOS 18 AI Announcements Coming at WWDC 2024" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

In preparation for WWDC 2024, Apple today launched a new Apple Developer YouTube account, which will be used to share WWDC sessions and events that developers can follow along with. Apple has seeded the new account with a selection of videos from WWDC 2023, and this gives us an idea of the kind of content that we can expect to see during the ‌WWDC 2024‌ season. Videos are organized into playlists by topic, making it easy to find content on the App Store, Swift, Spatial Computing, Safari, and more. In the ‌WWDC 2024‌ announcement, Apple said that developers can experience WWDC24 throughout the week on YouTube, referencing the new YouTube channel. Apple also plans to share content on the developer website and the Apple Developer app. Videos uploaded to YouTube will include all of the different video sessions that Apple holds on the latest software updates. ‌WWDC 2024‌ is set to kick off on Monday, June 10, and we are expecting to see iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, and more.

Apple just announced that WWDC 2024 is set to kick off on June 10, 2024, and there's a lot of expectation that Apple will make some new AI announcements this year. Apple's announcement event states that there will be a special event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, which is where the M2 chip, along with the newly redesigned MacBook Air, was announced at WWDC 2022, and where the MacBook Air 15-inch, M2 Ultra, and Apple Vision Pro were announced at WWDC 2023. Rather than being a consumer product affair, WWDC (short for Worldwide Developer Conference) is a weeklong conference in California that is much more geared towards professional software developers in the Apple ecosystem than introducing new products. However, Apple has used the conference's opening keynote in recent years to make major new announcements, like the Mac Pro, Apple M2 chip, and more. A lot has happened since the last WWDC, namely the explosive growth of generative AI, which Apple has said will be coming to its products later this year. Given the audience for this conference, June 10 would seem like a perfect time to lay out Apple's AI strategy to compete with the likes of Google and Microsoft. Apple is notoriously tight-lipped about its reveals before they are announced on stage, but they do drop hints, and Greg Joswiak, Apple's senior VP for marketing, wasn't exactly subtle in his sharing of the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). Mark your calendars for #WWDC24, June 10-14. It’s going to be Absolutely Incredible! pic.twitter.com/YIln5972ZDMarch 26, 2024 See more While AI likely won't be the only thing we see at WWDC 2024, all signs point to this being a major AI announcement, at least as far as Apple's strategy for AI going forward. (Image credit: Getty Images) What we expect to see at Apple WWDC 2024 As far as AI goes, we expect that Apple will show some on-device generative AI, like GPTs or image generation running locally on iPhones and iPads, and probably on MacBooks and Macs, too. The Apple M-series and A-series chips in its computers and mobile devices, respectively, have had neural processors (NPUs) built into them for a couple of years now but there hasn't been a big push from Apple to get into the kind of generative AI work that hit the industry like a meteor in late 2022. Apple's neural engine, as it calls its NPUs, should be more than capable of running the kinds of AI workloads that an Intel or AMD NPU is running now, and Qualcomm has been pretty aggressive in promoting its Snapdragon chips' generative AI capabilities, particularly in the Samsung Galaxy S24. To compete, Apple must deliver a generative AI answer, and a keynote to a conference full of software developers who will likely be tasked with using and expanding on new AI toolkits and frameworks in iOS, macOS, and beyond seems like the perfect venue. That doesn't mean it will be all AI, though. We'll also likely see iOS 18 announced at WWDC, likely with new AI features leading the way, but also with other more typical quality-of-life improvements across Apple's various software platforms, like watchOS 11. (Image credit: Apple) On the hardware front, it's far too soon for new iPhones to be released, though we're coming up on the perennial cadence of iPad releases, so we wouldn't be surprised to see them make an appearance. The only other hardware announcement we might see is the Apple M3 Ultra, following up on the late 2023 release of new MacBook Pro models with M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chips. The M3 Ultra is a workstation-class chip, so it'll be something that an industry and developer audience would be far more interested in than the average consumer would, so a WWDC announcement of a Mac Studio and Mac Pro refresh with M3 Ultra is a possibility. We'll almost certainly hear a lot more speculation and many more rumors swirling around as we get closer to the June 10 kick-off to WWDC 2024, but we'll have to wait until Tim Cook takes the stage at Apple Park to know for sure what Apple has planned for the rest of 2024.
