Multi-Cluster and Federation v2

PodCTL - Enterprise Kubernetes

SHOW: 65
SHOW OVERVIEW: Brian talks with Paul Morie (@cheddarmint, Sr. Principal Software Engineer @RedHat, Reviewer/Approver of Federation v2) about the evolution of multi-cluster and Federation v2 in Kubernetes.

SHOW NOTES:

• Try OpenShift 4 - http://try.openshift.com
• Kubernetes Federation v2 - https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/federation-v2
• Kubernetes Federation v2 on OperatorHub - https://operatorhub.io/operator/alpha/federation.v0.0.6
• Kubernetes Federation v2 on OpenShift 3.11 - https://blog.openshift.com/kubernetes-federation-v2-on-openshift-3-11/

SHOW TOPICS:
Topic 1 - Let’s start with some basics. The differences between “Federation” and “Multi-Cluster”?

Topic 2 - What are the basic functionality that needs to be in place to federate more than 1 cluster together (authentication, registry, cluster registry, network routing, etc.)

Topic 3 - What are some of the mechanisms that help determine which cluster a container should run?

Topic 4 - Is the current design intended to handle applications that span clusters, or is the expectation that apps live in a single cluster? What about deploying the same app to multiple clusters?

Topic 5 - For more advanced capabilities, such as intelligence to know where to dynamically place an application, would that be something that’s within Kubernetes, or any external service?
