VM Admin vs Container Admin

PodCTL - Enterprise Kubernetes

Show: 47
Show Overview: Brian and Tyler talk about how the day-to-day tasks of a VM Admin would change if they adopted Containers in their environment.
Show Notes:

Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a virtualization admin. How would we transition their day-to-day activities from VMs to Containers?

Topic 1 - What does the virtualization infrastructure/platform vs. container infrastructure/platform consist of?

• Control Plane
• Content Repository
• Data Plane (Hosts, OS, Apps)
• Networking, Storage, Management, Logging, Monitoring

Topic 2 - How do we get an application onto each platform, and how are resources provisioned?

• Network
• Storage
• Security
• Backups
• What is automated (by default vs. tooling)
• Availability (models)

Topic 3 - Who is responsible for the different aspects of the application once it’s running?

Topic 4 - What are the biggest differences or misperceptions between the environments?

• Stateful vs. Stateless apps
• Automated (integrated) vs. Manual tasks
• Patching
