Lives On the Line. Learning Disaster Response From the Coronavirus Pandemic
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020 Virtual · on Thursday, 2020-11-19· at 15:45· Intrado Virtual Event Platform,·
summary
Shows concrete lessons from COVID‑19 applied to cloud native systems: China sequences and open‑sources the genome by January 12, enabling vaccine work; R0 ~2–3 (measles 12–18) and herd immunity needs ~70% with ~94% coverage depending on efficacy. Recommends observability with Prometheus, runtime detection with Falco, strict RBAC and OPA policies, cluster snapshots and Cluster API for quarantine, A/B and phased patching, rollbacks and regression tests to prove fixes.
