The journey of building a production-ready managed Kubernetes service

In this presentation we will share Catalyst’s public cloud journey in building a production ready managed Kubernetes service on top of OpenStack.

Abstract

Platform services have came a long way. Not only they are getting more popular, but they are also driving true multi-cloud interoperability. The combination of OpenStack and Kubernetes is becoming a standard option to allow users to benefit from both virtual machines and containers for their cloud-native applications.

In this presentation, the following items will be covered:

  • Network isolation with K8s network policy
  • Persistent volume integrated with OpenStack Cinder
  • Loadbalancer and Ingress integrated with OpenStack Octavia
  • K8s and OpenStack Keystone auth integration
  • K8s rolling upgrades and node patching
  • Cluster auto healing
