Crafting Seamless Development: Improving the Kubernetes Operator Developer Experience
Zack Zlotnik, Yu Qi (Jerry) Zhang

Are you tired of waiting for minutes or even hours to see the results of your code changes? The "edit-compile-run-debug" loop is a critical part of software development because the faster one can execute it, the faster one can make and verify changes. But modern development environments such as Kubernetes operators can slow this loop down immensely. From leveraging advanced tooling and automation to adopting best practices in code organization and testing, we explore actionable steps to significantly reduce iteration times, enhance developer experience, and accelerate the pace of delivering robust and reliable Kubernetes operators.

This session will cover:
- What challenges we faced
- How we looked more holistically at our developer experience (DevEx)
- How we reduced our loop time by over 50%
- How we get better feedback during each CI run

Join us to learn how you can optimize your "edit-compile-run-debug" loop and improve your developer experience.

Optimizing your Hybrid Cloud Operating System Experience
Yu Qi (Jerry) Zhang, Ines Qian

Hybrid Cloud is here to stay, and having a consistent Operating System management experience is crucial for the success of Hybrid Cloud platforms. As a Kubernetes or OpenShift admin, you know how important it is to ensure that the underlying OS is up-to-date, and to keep track of software versions running across multiple platforms. But how do you create, test, and deploy changes in a safe, unified, and streamlined manner? Join us as we explore the past, present, and future of the Cloud Operating System management story, and learn how to tackle these challenges head-on.

In this session, we will cover:
- How Openshift evolved to operator based workflows to manage the OS
- Going from single clusters to multi-cluster and multi-arch management
- Why we believe image-based Operating Systems is the next evolution for Hybrid Cloud, and how Openshift will be using On Cluster Layering to achieve this

Join us and share your own stories as we discuss the Operating System story for your Hybrid Cloud environments.
