Will it Blend? The Joint OpenStack Kubernetes Environment

Will they blend? There's only one way to find out! Join experience DevOps mix-master, Rob Hirschfeld, in this fun and informative exploration.

Since the OpenStack on Kubernetes keynote in Austin, there are been many discussions about if and how to deliver a Joint OpenStack Kubernetes Environment. Specifically, using Kubernetes as an underlay.

In this presentation, we'll explore the potential benefits and downsides of this configuration. Then, assuming it's a good idea, we'll give into the real architectural and operational work needed to implement a robust OpenStack cloud using Kubernetes. We'll discuss the pros and cons of including the Nova compute nodes in K8s management. Finally, we'll outline upstream work that's needed to turn OpenStack into a cloud native application.


What can I expect to learn?

More about Kubernetes and how to make OpenStack more cloud native.
