Self Heal Your OpenStack Control Plane!

This talk shows the value in using Kubernetes, Google's container management platform, to build OpenStack service API replicas. We will show the speed in deploying service endpoints via Kubernetes as well as show Kubernetes self-healing mechanisms, such as auto-restarting, re-scheduling, and replicating containers to ensure services such as nova-api are kept in an active state.

We will demo an active OpenStack installation that uses containers as OpenStack API endpoints and create 'failure' scenarios to showcase seamless connectivity.


What can I expect to learn?

How Kubernetes speeds up OpenStack Liberty control plane deployment; How Kubernetes detects and automatically recovers induced container failure scenarios.
