How to survive and thrive in a multi-cluster world Over the last few years, we’ve seen a shift in how organizations operationalize their Kubernetes clusters. Instead of huge, monolithic production clusters, we’re seeing a marked shift to multicluster Kubernetes environments, using entire clusters to isolate development teams or manage workloads. The multicluster world can bring in dramatic wins for reliability and operational efficiency, but of course it has its challenges! In this talk, we’ll explore this fascinating world, from why the shift is happening, how to effectively use a service mesh and GitOps-style workflows to make multicluster secure, reliable, and observable, the pros and cons of multi-cloud rather than simple multicluster, and how new technologies like federated Services affect the multicluster world. Join us to learn how it all comes together!
Tilt for local Kubernetes microservices development Local Kubernetes development for microservices can easily drift away from production, different manifests, different config paths, and "it works on my machine" surprises. In this talk, I will show how Tilt helps you run a real microservices stack on a local Kubernetes cluster while keeping the same Kubernetes resources and configuration model you use in production. Tilt watches your code, rebuilds and redeploys only what changed, and gives you a single place to see logs, status, and dependencies across services.
