Showcase Keynote: Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Journey [MOD3543KU]
Leading enterprises are increasingly defined by their ability to develop software. That’s why they are turning to Kubernetes and cloud native principles to speed up developer velocity and drive resource efficiencies. VMware has unmatched expertise to guide you on this journey—hear from the creators of Kubernetes, the architects working hands-on with customers, and the engineers building new solutions. We will show you how to lead the cloud native conversation at your organization—to change your trajectory—by managing hundreds of users and thousands of Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds. Maximize your VMworld experience by exploring new territory with our expert team.

How to Unlock Kubernetes for Massive Scale—and Maximum Return [KUB1835BU]
In this session, VMware leaders Craig McLuckie, Kubernetes co-founder and VP of R&D for Cloud Native Applications, and Eryn Muetzel, Director of Product Management, will help you understand best practices for adopting, managing, and operating Kubernetes across teams, clusters, and clouds to enable developer self-service and accelerate time to market, while containing costs and keeping your platform secure.

More Devs, No Problem: Managing Self-service Access to Kubernetes [KUB1851BU]
As your organization adopts containers and Kubernetes, the number of teams and clusters you have to manage will explode. You'll need a way to stay in control so you can keep your platform secure and contain costs. In this session, we'll show you how to do that by automating the enforcement of policies—access policies, pod security policies, image policies, backup policies and more—across fleets of clusters. You will learn how to align your organization and resources to maximize security, enable development team self-service, and safely share resources across your teams.
Tuesday, August 27, 01:00 PM – 02:00 PM
SPEAKERS
Fabio Yeon, Sr. Staff Engineer, VMware
Eryn Muetzel, Director, Product Management, VMware
The Future of Kubernetes Cluster Provisioning and Day 2 Ops [KUB1840BU]
Many vendors today are offering managed Kubernetes services. While these services can help reduce your operational burden, they can be challenging for enterprises to adopt because of security concerns. In this session, you’ll learn more about how VMware is working in lockstep with the upstream Kubernetes community to provide you with a consistent approach to lifecycle management that makes it easier for you to operate Kubernetes across all of your Kubernetes environments—including vSphere and public cloud—with consistency and control.
Wednesday, August 28, 03:00 PM – 04:00 PM
SPEAKERS
Tom Spoonemore, Product Line Manager, VMware
Ross Kukulinski, Product Line Manager, VMware
Ask the Experts: Cloud Native Architects Behind Hundreds of Deployments [KUB2541PU]
This panel Q&A session will be led by the VMware Cloud Native Architects, who work directly with customers to install and operate Kubernetes, as well as integrate it with a host of other services for application deployment, monitoring, logging, security and more! These Architects are our hands-on experts. This is your chance to ask the experts questions about using Kubernetes, architecture patterns and anti-patterns, or integration points with existing services. They can draw on their knowledge and experiences to give you practical answers that will move your Kubernetes journey forward.
Wednesday, August 28, 03:00 PM – 04:00 PM
SPEAKERS
Nicholas Lane, Cloud Native Architect, VMware
Duffie Cooley, Staff Kubernetes Architect, VMware
