And so, you've been tasked to build a private cloud platform
Once upon a while, there was a datacenter that needed to go through a renewal to be in sync with the company's cloud adoption.
Self-service tools were lacking and created frustration for projects that didn't "move to the cloud".
Top management declared that creating a "private cloud platform" was now a strategic case for the entity.
We'll share our early journey testimony with many questions still unanswered. In this session, do not expect a reference implementation.
Plan:
• Birth of the project
○ Multiple issues with legacy suppliers
○ Technological debt and issues with providing a cloud-native experience onpremise.
○ From Namespace as a Service to Platform development
○ Why kubernetes ?
• Identifying your customers
○ How to find them ?
○ Wich usecases ?
• From PaaS to PlatformOfPaaS to PaaP & IDP
• Reviewing technologies
○ App delivery
○ Databases (Postgresql)
○ POC & First demo
• Identifying related projects to help you
○ Platform WG
○ BestPractices / Implementation ?
"The Walking Pods" Cluster horde is invading the company
What happens when you switch from a few kubernetes projects to a multi-entity service line strategy and then it becomes popular in your company (150+ clusters !).
Lets try to share some solutions, tips and self reflections ?
Our feedbacks on technical/organizational issues when our fleet doubles (number of clusters and projects) every year .
Themes:
- support and organizational issues & clarifying users technical responsibilities.
- limits of the technical maintenance in operational condition & lifecycle constraints
- cloud providers promises & alternative architectures;
From vision of heaven to hell on earth, a realistic and pragmatic middle ground, when our choices are confronted with reallity.
