State of Cloud Native

With recent developments around VMware, there is renewed market interest in KVM, the leading alternative hypervisor. Many enterprises inadvertently leverage KVM when utilizing large hyperscale cloud providers, as these platforms predominantly operate on KVM. However, when it comes to running private or edge cloud environments, KVM can be perceived as a complex and unfamiliar technology. In this session, technology leaders from Rackspace and Platform9 will discuss the two leading standards for managing KVM: KubeVirt (based on #Kubernetes) and OpenStack. We will cover the strengths and limitations of these two approaches, exploring their applicability to specific use cases, including multi-tenant IaaS, enterprise private clouds, and distributed #edge deployments.

Enterprises are facing the ongoing issues of #Kubernetes underutilization and rising #EKS costs, alongside various operational inefficiencies. Our latest innovation, the Elastic Machine Pool (EMP), is at the forefront of this revolution. Utilizing advanced #virtualization technologies such as over provisioning, live migration, and real-time resource balancing, EMP is revolutionizing #publiccloud infrastructure. We invite you to a must-watch #livestream where our experts will tackle the challenges of Kubernetes underutilization and unveil strategies to cut EKS costs by 50%! What to expect in the live demo 1. How EMP brings cutting-edge virtualization to public clouds, specifically #EC2 #baremetal. 2. Learn how EMP's efficient virtualization layer maximizes CPU and memory utilization, potentially slashing your public cloud bills in half. 3. Seamless integration with EKS, tailored for Kubernetes #DevOps engineers and #appdevelopers. 4. Hassle-free for developers - no changes needed in your apps or pod request/limits.

What is Serverless? You may have heard the word floating around when looking at offerings from different providers. On this show we are going to take a look at Knative, the open source project behind many of those offerings. We will learn about how it works and why you should think about leveraging it in your Kubernetes clusters.    We will be talking with Evan Anderson, Staff Software Engineer @ VMware, about Knative. Knative is an Open-Source Enterprise-level solution to build Serverless and Event Driven Applications.   Join us for this episode as we discuss what Knative is, why you should consider using it, and how it all works.    To get information on upcoming shows, join our mailing list:   https://platform9.com/stateofcloudnative/

This week on State of Cloud Native we are going to talk about Crossplane. I (Mike Petersen) am very excited to be able to sit down with Viktor Farcic, Developer Advocate @ Upbound and star of DevOps Toolkit.   We will learn about what Crossplane is, what issues it solves, and how to use it to create a better control plane for your users.

Ron Haberman, Market CTO @ Platform9, and Kamesh Pemmaraju, Head of Enterprise & Product Marketing @ Platform9 are back. This time they will be discussing how to Scale Cloud Reliably.    The discussion will cover topics included in Ron's recent blog post:    https://platform9.com/blog/scaling-clouds-reliably-requires-experience-and-expertise/   Come hang out at the last show before KubeCon! We will be back after KubeCon with a wrap-up show.  Sign up for future notifications and information about the show:  https://platform9.com/stateofcloudnative/

Join Pushkar Acharya, Staff Engineer @ Platform9, Anmol Sachan, Product Manager @ Platform9, and Mike Petersen, Technical Marketing Engineer @ Platform9, as we discuss Cluster API. According to the docs: "Cluster API is a Kubernetes sub-project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters." We will discuss what it is, how we are using it.

Join Poonam Agarwal, Senior Member of Technical Staff @ Platform9, Roopak Parikh, CTO and Cofounder @ Platform9, and Mike Petersen, Technical Marketing Engineer @ Platform9, for our next episode of State of Cloud Native. We are going to discuss KubeVirt and running Virtualized workloads on Kubernetes.   We will get to know Poonam and Roopak and then take a look at why you would want to run VMs on Kubernetes. What are the use cases, who would benefit from using it, and why was it created?
