Matthew Bates -  Kube all the Things
Channel: Voxxed Days Bristol
Date: 2016-03-28

Matthew is co-founder at Bristol-based container startup Jetstack. He has a background in solutions for the acquisition, management and exploitation of large-scale data, across a variety of industries. He uses Java, Python and Go and has in the previous year been working closely with the open source container management system Kubernetes, including code contributions and customer deployments.

Kubernetes is an open source container cluster manager that is based on Google’s experiences of using containers to power their infrastructure for over a decade. Over the course of 2015, Kubernetes has grown up fast and is quickly becoming a go-to technology for containers in production. The scale of adoption, innovation and collaboration is staggering. With over 500 contributors from across industry, almost 12,000 stars and 20,000 commits, it is arguably one of the most active open source projects in development today.

This talk explains the core concepts and deep-dives on how these neatly fit together to enable Google-like infrastructure that functions smoothly and efficiently (without 4am call-outs) that can scale. There is real world experiences of how it is being used and the talk also features the latest developments from the project that will help us to ‘Kube All the Things’.
