Practically all software delivery teams are currently assembling application delivery platforms, service catalogs, or developer-focused control planes. And with good reason; we're all here to empower developers to code, ship, and run applications effectively for our end users. And, of course, we want to do this with minimal friction and first-class integration into our existing tooling and workflows. Join us for a tour of the Ambassador Developer Control Plane (DCP), which integrates several of the most popular CNCF tools, including Argo, Emissary-Ingress, Envoy Proxy, and Telepresence, into a control plane that powers your team's delivery of software.With the Ambassador DCP, any cloud-native developer can code, ship, and run Kubernetes services effectively and without writing lots of YAML. Best of all, the DCP is fully integrated with Kubernetes and Git, so you can use your existing Kubernetes and GitOps workflows. In this tech talk, we'll walk you through what's new in the Ambassador DCP with deep dives into all of the key areas of functionality.

In a cloud native world, software developers are no longer only responsible for writing code. Today’s developers must write and package code, deploy these services into production, and make sure that the corresponding applications continue to run correctly when released into production.

As an architect, how do you make sure your development teams have the tools they need to manage all of these tasks? We recommend a Developer Control Plane.

A developer control plane enables developers to control and configure the entire cloud development loop in order to ship software faster.

Join this session for a conversation with Daniel Bryant, Director of DevRel and Bjorn Freeman-Benson, SVP of Engineering at Ambassador Labs on how a developer control plane can enhance your existing technology stack and enable collaboration among your development teams without requiring devs to worry about managing configuration.

Session starts at 12 PM ET.

This week's office hours will coincide with Ambassador Fest, so stay tuned for more details, and sign up to make sure you receive the daily Zoom link.​

The Telepresence Contributors Meeting is held on the first Wednesday of every month at 11 AM ET. The focus of this meeting is discussion of technical issues related to development of Telepresence. New contributors are always welcome! Check out our community page to learn how you can help make Telepresence better.

We devote every last Thursday per month to support Emissary Office Hours. These sessions are a way to connect in person to share updates and listen to feedback from the community. If you are a current user who wants to learn more or would like to get involved with open source, please join us! This month's session will be hosted by Flynn.

Session starts at 10:00 AM ET.

LIVE TUTORIAL: Learn to locally debug Spring Boot microservices with IntelliJ and Telepresence connected to a remote Kubernetes cluster

Many organizations adopt cloud native development practices because they want to ship features faster. And while technologies and architectures may change when moving to the cloud, we all still add the occasional bug to our code. However, many of your existing local debugging tools and practices can’t be used when everything is running in a container or on the cloud.

In this week's office hours, Daniel Bryant, will walk you through the use of Telepresence for seamlessly connecting a remote Kubernetes cluster that contains all of your microservices with your local development machine running all of your familiar debug tooling.

Daniel has coded professionally in Java for nearly 20 years and is a Java Champion.

Session starts at 10 AM ET.

As any developer will tell you, we all accidentally add bugs to our software. Although unit testing can catch a lot of potential issues, it is inevitable that a few bugs end up in production. Once these have been identified it is vitally important to be able to quickly triage and diagnose the issue.

Being able to effectively debug services in Kubernetes is not dependent on a single tool or technique. A combination of approaches is required. We'll use this session to explore a range of options.

This week we have a special guest joining us, Kostis Kapelonis from Codefresh!

Session starts at 10 AM ET.

Kubernetes makes local development slower and more challenging compared to monolithic applications. With Telepresence, you can make code changes quickly on Kubernetes services and get feedback instantly in your local environment. But what happens when you want to push this change to production?

By integrating Telepresence with your CI/CD pipeline, you can test your code changes safely and get them deployed to prod faster.

John Laffey will use this week's office hours to share an example of a Jenkins pipeline executing a simple automated test against demo code using Telepresence.

LIVE TUTORIAL: Learn to locally debug Go microservices with VScode while testing against a larger application running in a remote Kubernetes cluster.

Come hang out with Daniel Bryant and learn about Ambassador Labs' new product, Service Catalog!

Service Catalog is a free tool for unlimited developers, designed to provide Kubernetes app devs with a real-time portal to eliminate tribal knowledge, speed incident response, and improve developer productivity.

Telepresence 2 boasts a new architecture and new features that make Telepresence easier for Kubernetes development teams to use. And, we've rewritten it in Go! Join office hours to learn about the new architecture, why we built it this way, and what's new in the latest version.

Ambassador Community Office Hours are a series of virtual office hours hosted by Developer Advocate Peter O'Neill. Each session will focus on a topic specific to making the most out of your Ambassador Labs products.

These office hours are meant to be laid back and provide our community a space where you can ask questions live and in a casual format and get them answered by the Ambassador Labs team in real-time. Come hang out with us!

Join fellow Go programming enthusiasts, professionals and the just-curious for an evening of presentations, learning and socializing.

We aim to be a welcoming and inclusive group regardless of your skill level, race or gender identity. Don't hesitate to come and spend some quality time with us as we explore all that Go has to offer.
