Kubernetes offers an extensive set of features that can provide for different purposes, ranging from test deployments on localhost to deployments with heavy ML computations on GPUs. It can get overwhelming to figure out the specific features, or combinations of features, which may be needed for making a secure and resilient service. CFCR is an open source wrapper around Kubernetes that provides an opinionated K8S deployment, leveraging BOSH functionalities like scaling and self-healing. It offers a subset of Kubernetes features enriched by some functionalities of BOSH, and facilitates an easy learning curve. In this talk, we intend to explore what can make a K8s cluster ‘production ready’ for different business and how CFCR helps reduce the complexity of spinning a K8s cluster and surface only the most commonly used features.
Bengt is working for Pivotal Inc as Software Engineer developing products that simplify usage of Kubernetes for specific business needs, as well as other core Pivotal products, such as Pivotal CF and Pivotal Tracker running on production.
Morena works for Pivotal as a software engineer, focusing on integrating Kubernetes with tools from the CF ecosystem such as BOSH, to offer products (CFCR, PKS) that leverage the strengths of both communities.
