There are lessons to be learned from the biggest open cloud platform AND the most promising container management net platform. Join our panel of Kubernetes and OpenStack experts, in this fun and informative exploration.
In the past year, there have been many discussions about if and how to deliver a joint OpenStack Kubernetes environment (using Kubernetes as an overlay OR underlay). In this presentation, we'll take a much deeper dive into the potential benefits and downsides of these different configuration models. Then we'll dive into the real architectural and operational work needed to implement a robust OpenStack cloud using Kubernetes. We'll discuss the pros and cons of including the Nova compute nodes in K8s management. And finally, we'll outline upstream work that's needed to turn OpenStack into a cloud native application.
We’ll also offer practical ideas to address questions like:
Should you run containers as the overlay or underlay, and when would it make sense to do which? In other words, why would you provide Kubernetes (or any Container Operating Environment) on OpenStack? What if you deployed OpenStack on Kubernetes)?
Are containers the end of VMs as we know them?
How does the shift to container-based application deployment models play into IoT and Microservices deployment architectures?
What do these applications, as well as enterprise-driven deployment models need that containers on OpenStack bring to the table?
Is there a very wrong way to do this and what should users and operators watch out for?
Are you ready to learn more about Kubernetes and how to make OpenStack more cloud native? Well then come and join the fun! :)

Rob Hirschfeld is the Founder and CEO of RackN, and has been involved in OpenStack since the earliest days, with a focus on ops and building the infrastructure that powers cloud and storage. He's also co-Chair of the Kubernetes Cluster Ops SIG and a four term OpenStack board member. The RackN team has deep knowledge of Kubernetes (deploying it on clouds and metal), OpenStack (created the Crowbar project), and cloud native architecture (migrated Digital Rebar to be micro-services). Rob has deep ops knowledge of both platforms AND experience with cloud native migrations. He's also a regular speaker at OpenStack Summits about items including SDN, interop and running Kubernetes. @zehicle
