Kubernetes abstracts the data center #vDM30in30
Transcript
hi Keith town from C advisor.com with day s vdm 30 and3 virtual design Master 30 Tech videos 30 days we're going to talk a little kubernetes a little bit outside of my normal technical Zone but I'm hoping to give you guys a nice overview of kubernetes what is it and kind of what's the promise when it comes to that theme that we're talking about which is digital transformation so let's let's look at this middle layer here that we're all very familiar with which is the KVM
VMware vpar hyperv that layer of compute that we're normal that we're used to having our developers interact with directly we normally give them a RDP session A bash shell a SSH to one of these uh compute resources provided by the management by that AB that current abstraction layer so whether talking about something new today such as containers so bare metal Docker or zour AWS GCE uh ec2 instance basically in AWS we would give that directly to the developer or the developer would consume that directly and
then they would have to manage all of that infrastructure beneath Kelsey high tower Tower from Google was on a recent episode of the data knots over on packet pushers Donnet and he talked through kind of that new relationship that kubernetes makes with the developer instead of developer it interacting directly with that OS layer kubernetes abstracts everything underneath so a developer now programs to the apis of a kubernetes and then kubernets directly to whether it's Docker uh KVM hyperv V spear zour AWS GCE and then there's
maybe another layer of extraction underneath those two things and they talk to so what that we're talking about vpar and vpar talks to Docker or rocket or a azour or AWS GCE talk to uh a rocket or a Docker all of that is basically invisible to the developer the developer programs creates applications and containers through the kubernetes API and kubernetes does all of the SK scheduling all of the resource provisioning at that layer versus the developer worrying about that at all so the relationship shifts the
developer toss to kubernetes and then as infrastructure folks what we would have typically have done manually when it came to workload scheduling or even in in individual silos we can use kubernetes to do all of that data center orchest not orchestration all that data center scheduling Force so obviously from a it transformation perspective we're simplifying the data center and how developers consume the data center instead of consuming individual components of the data center they consume kubernetes which speeds up the time to value of that time
to get an application up and running Google is leveraging and it's not just Google it's an open source project Google and its partners are leveraging that kubernetes framework to help us build applications that scale in production using containers so that's it high level kubernetes overview if you guys want to Deep dive into kubernetes I highly recommend the video or actually the podcast with Kelsey he goes into great detail explaining kubernetes I'll link it in the bottom of this video talk to you guys next vdm 30
