KUDO: Smooth Operator; and Dispatch: Orchestrating the Cloud-Native Pipeline

Zoom meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87627305740

KUDO - Ken Sipe

ABSTRACT:
Smooth Operator
One of the challenges of orchestration tools such as Kubernetes is determining who works for who. It is easy to deploy a suite of applications into a cluster, but how do you manage the order and logic of provisioning, upgrading, or failure recovery? Is this left to humans manned with pagers? Operators was introduced a couple of years ago as the solution to this problem in the Kubernetes eco-system.
This talk will walk through the basics of Kubernetes APIs and Customer Resource Definitions (CRDs) which underpins the required basic understanding. We will identify the solution that operators provide with a look at the early stage sdks and frameworks. We will then focus on Kubernetes Universal Declarative Operator (KUDO) which is intended to be a declarative approach for create a new operator. Attendees will leave with knowledge of how smooth building of a new operator can be.
