AT&T Container Strategy and OpenStack's Role in It

Containers

We will present AT&T Container's Strategy and OpenStack's role in it and how OpenStack needs to evolve.

- What type of workload drives AT&T's Container needs? We will talk about AT&T Entertainment Group's video content delivery and in Mobility and Network Services

- What is driving Containerization? Beyond the direct benefits of containers around lower footprint and packaging goodness, the DevOps / Infrastructure as Code benefits of predictability and consistency are also pushing us to move faster

- What is a Container Sandwich? Running Containers in VMs that are containers themselves & also containerization of OpenStack services and allowing workloads to innovate and BYO container orchestration at least temporarily

- What is the value of Kolla, Magnum, and Kyuyr? What is missing?

- How do we bridge efforts across OpenStack and CNCF?

- What do we use right now versus what we use in the future? MK22/Saltstack with Helm-like artifacts

What can I expect to learn?
