Tech, Business & Networking groups in Edinburgh

The Infinite Jesters Philosophy Club

A relaxed discussion on the rise of artificial intelligence and the ethical questions it raises. What responsibilities do we have when building intelligent systems? What does AI reveal about human intelligence, creativity, and consciousness? And how might it reshape work, society, and the future of human decision-making? No technical background needed—just curiosity and an open mind :) And as always, if you really want to come but the list is full then message me on 07578121960 and I'll make a

Cloud Native + Kubernetes Edinburgh

We're finally back after a brief break, we'll be starting at 6pm sharp with pizzas and drinks and then straight into our two awesome talks: 6pm - pizza, drinks, networking 6:30pm - Platform as a Superpower, Bryan Ross (GitLab) 7pm - break 7:15pm - Beyond Containers. Why MicroVMs Are Essential for Multi-Tenant Workloads, Lewis Denham-Parry (Edera) Platform as a Superpower - Bryan Ross (GitLab) You’ve built an amazing new platform, so why aren’t your developers using it? In this talk we’ll explore the common pitfalls when building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and how a platform-as-a-product approach can help you build something your users will love. Beyond Containers. Why MicroVMs Are Essential for Multi-Tenant Workloads - Lewis Denham-Parry (Edera) Containers are the de facto deployment model for our applications today, but is your Container Runtime appropriate for multi-tenant workloads? If you don't know which Container Runtime you're using today, then it's likely that you're using a shared kernel, so your multi-tenant workloads aren't as isolated as you might think they are. In this talk, we'll demonstrate how MicroVMs can provide a Hardened Container Runtime. We'll build an understanding of why namespaces and cgroups are limited in the isolation they provide, how the MicroVM architecture can provide an isolated kernel, and the open-source tools available today to implement this. To demonstrate this, we'll use a Multi-Tenant Kubernetes Cluster to show an attack that can break container isolation, and how MicroVMs can mitigate it.
