Seeing is Believing: Debugging with Ephemeral Containers - Aaron Alpar, Kasten

Most Kuberrnetes developers are familiar with the painful process of debugging a pod within a cluster. Fortunately, a new, cutting-edge approach — ephemeral containers — simplifies debugging running pods and more! With ephemeral containers, you can dynamically deploy a container that shares pod resources. These containers use Linux namespaces to share network and process resources so debugging can occur using a container image of your choosing. During this talk, Aaron will cover the what, why and how of ephemeral containers, and the underlying mechanics that make ephemeral containers useful for debugging and testing.
