k8s NodeSet + Enabling DevOps with Kubernetes

Hello fellow Kubernauts,
we've got two great talks lined up for you guys in December. First, our host Adam Sandor from Amsterdam's very own Container Solutions is going to talk about how to enable DevOps with Kubernetes and why it is a mindset rather than a technical solution. Followed by Guus van Weelden from Loodse, who is going to talk about how to let a Kubernetes cluster manage its worker nodes itself. We are all excited and hope to see you there!

Our Talks and Speakers:

Enabling DevOps with Kubernetes

Enabling DevOps with Kubernetes First and foremost DevOps is a mindset, not a technological solution. Without the right technology however implanting a DevOps culture can be an uphill battle. In this talk I’ll demonstrate how smart infrastructure built on the Kubernetes container orchestration engine enables DevOps. Instead of scripting complex deployment processes the Ops team can focus on delivering and running of the platform while developers can enjoy the high level services it provides to rapidly deliver new software.

About Adam

Adam moved from application development to a consultancy career in cloud native computing. He currently works at Amsterdam-based consultancy Container Solutions. He is helping companies succeed in improving their delivery of business critical software by combining his application development experience with knowledge of container-based infrastructure.

Let a Kubernetes cluster manage its worker nodes by itself

Why not using Kubernetes to manage and deploy worker nodes in a generic way? In a way which works on on different cloud providers and also on bare-metal. This talk will introduce the concept of NodeClass and NodeSet which will allow you to utilize kubectl to deploy your nodes. Additionally, you will learn how to enhance the concept for specific requirements with your own controller.

About Guus

Guus van Weelden is a Golang developer and consultant at Loodse and also leading the GDG Golang Usergroup Hamburg. He is passionate about automatization and dynamic scaling of environments and infrastructure. As a consultant he helps development and operation teams to get into the world of Kubernetes, building CI/CD pipelines and following the principles of the 12th-factor app. Together with the development team from Loodse he is building Kubermatic, a Google-like Container engine to set-up, manage and operate scalable Kubernetes in cloud or on-prem.
