During this session BBVA’s innovation department will give an update on how it is transforming its OpenStack infrastructure to become fully containerized. They selected Kubernetes as a platform for dynamic lifecycle management, to quickly stop/start OpenStack services and place them where desired. From a networking perspective they are leveraging the overlay technology of Nuage Networks, that has intimately worked with them to model both OpenStack’s infrastructure networks as the VM networks as overlay networks into a homogenous networking space.
What is the problem or use case you’re addressing in this session?
Over the last years, BBVA realized that there was significant effort involved in running, maintaining and upgrading the different OpenStack services. When they realized container/Docker technology could be very beneficial for this, they went for the challenge and revised their architecture to become fully containerized and to virtualize their infrastructure networks.
