Show Notes

  • At their North America VMWorld conference, VMWare mentioned that their Project Pacific could deliver up to 8% faster performance in VMs than on bare metal. After some belly-laughs and confusion, here is some clarification.
  • An increasing number of Ops professionals have only administered cloud infrastructure. They’ve never operated in an environment that had to account for cabling, racking, cooling, and power budgets.
  • In Kubernetes 1.17, the Service Topology capability allows you to route traffic based on your cluster topology like rack, availability zone, etc.
  • A fun discussion around “Controllers vs. Operators”, and where to use which term when. A ton of links around this are on the internet. A personal favorite is from Josh Rosso
  • The attendee statistics for KubeCon 2019 North America are pretty amazing.
  • The Kubernetes Community takes inclusiveness very seriously.
  • The Heirachical Namespace Controller could change how we think about tenancy inside Kubernetes.
  • John’s dislike of Docker, Inc. may well know no bounds
  • Amazon’s Global Accelerator brings your traffic into their internet, and back to par with the other hyperscale providers.
  • Whatever happened to kubevirt?
  • Being a shadow on the Kubernetes sig-release team could be cool!
