OPEN SESSION (CloudX): 5 Steps to VEX Success: Managing the End-to-End Workflow

Thursday November 7, 2024 10:30am - 10:55am PST

CloudX -- Main Stage

Cortez Frazier Jr., FOSSA, Principal Product Manager

If you work in vulnerability management or DevSecOps programs, you’re probably familiar with the painful condition known as CVE overload. Each year, tens of thousands of new vulnerabilities are reported, which causes stress and late nights for the teams tasked with remediating them.

And that’s not to mention the herculean tax of distinguishing between potential vulnerabilities and confirmed vulnerabilities. The reality that most vulnerabilities are only potentially exploitable (as determined by the deployed context of each package) also means remediation often results in a lot of wasted time and effort.

A proposed solution is VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange): a set of formats that communicates vulnerability impact status, whether a vulnerability is exploitable in its deployed context, and mitigation steps. In theory, VEX (when used alongside other prioritization inputs) makes it possible to remediate more efficiently. But as with most security frameworks, efficacy depends on proper implementation.

This talk will cover five steps to leveraging VEX throughout the vulnerability remediation lifecycle, from the time a vulnerability is disclosed to the time you publish and distribute a VEX statement. We’ll cover the tools and workflows teams need to know to effectively use VEX in their organizations.

PRO SESSION (CloudX): Building Robust Networks: The Power of CI/CD in Network Validation

Thursday November 7, 2024 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

CloudX -- Stage 1

Naveen Achyuta, Roblox, Network Reliability Engineer

While CI/CD practices are well-established in software development, the networking field is still adapting to these methodologies. This presentation demonstrates a method for validating network configurations in a lab environment, both pre- and post-deployment, to build confidence before implementing changes in production networks. Using open-source tools, custom scripts, and containerlab, we'll walk through each step of implementing a CI/CD pipeline. This approach not only enhances confidence in network deployments but also bridges the gap between traditional networking practices and modern DevOps methodologies.

[Virtual Exclusive] PRO SESSION (CloudX):Beyond Bash: Nushell Opens Up Shell Scripting Paths for Kubernetes

Tuesday November 12, 2024 12:00pm - 12:25pm PST

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage A

Ryota Sawada, Civo, Principal Engineer

The CNCF ecosystem has exploded with a diverse array of tools, each solving a unique problem. However, integrating multiple projects often leads to challenges requiring manual intervention and custom solutions, with shell scripting commonly used as a temporary stopgap. This approach, predominantly utilising Bash, frequently results in maintenance headaches such as poor code readability and debugging difficulties.

Nushell presents a modern take on shell scripting, offering a more intuitive syntax by dropping POSIX-compliance. It includes YAML friendly data model as a fundamental design, built-in commands equivalent to curl and jq, supports simple and clear module structures, and eliminates the confusion of single vs. double quotes.

We will have a quick look at Bash vs. Nushell difference, some example case of how Nushell data model makes it easier to deal with YAML configs, and extra automation and CI/CD ideas using its module and test capabilities.
