Building for the (Inevitable) Next Cloud Outage - Pavel Nikolov, Section

It seems that every few months we hear about the widespread impact of a major cloud outage. Cloud outages are unpredictable and inevitable; this is what keeps SRE teams up at night. Public cloud remains the most popular data center approach among the cloud native community, with multi-cloud growing in adoption. However, adopting a multi-cloud strategy isn’t as simple as hitting the go button. In this session, we will demonstrate how to deploy a Kubernetes application across clusters in multiple clouds and regions with built-in failover to automatically adapt to cloud outages. You will witness how BGP directs traffic across clusters in a healthy state. Then, we will take one of the clusters offline and show how workloads are automatically rescheduled and traffic is rerouted to healthy clusters in real-time. We will dive into the technologies and logic that are driving this engine and discuss how you can build this type of resilience into your own applications.
