OpenStack is currently the best available option for building private clouds, with the ability to manage networking, storage and compute infrastructure, with support for virtual machines, bare-metal, and containers from one control plane. While Kubernetes is arguably the most popular container orchestrator and has changed application delivery, it depends on the availability of a solid cloud infrastructure, and OpenStack offers the most comprehensive open source infrastructure for hosting applications. OpenStack’s multi-tenant cloud infrastructure is a natural fit for Kubernetes, with several integration points, deployment solutions, and ability to federate across multiple clouds.
In this talk, we’re going to explore how containers work within OpenStack, examine various use cases, and provide an overview of open source projects, from OpenStack and elsewhere, that help make containers a technology that’s easily adopted and utilized.
