Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions. Using the concepts of "labels" and "pods", it groups the containers which make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery.

Ep24: DevOpsDays Nashville, Kubernetes, and Navigating Digital Transformation

When you have “a really hot, frothy space” like AI, even the most basic questions — like what is it good for, how do you make sure your data is in shape, and so on — aren’t answered. This is just as true for the companies eager to adopt the technology and get into the space, as it is for those building companies around that space, observes Joe Spisak, Head of Partnerships at Amazon Web Services. “People treat it like magic,” adds a16z general partner Martin Casado.

This magical realism is especially true of AI, because by definition — i.e., machines learning — there is a bit of a “black box” between what you put in and what you get out of it. Which may be fine… Except when you have to completely change the data being fed into that black box, or you’re shooting for a completely different target to come out of it. That’s why, observes Scott Clark, CEO and co-founder of SigOpt, “an untuned, sophisticated system will underperform a tuned simple system” almost every time.

So what does this mean for organizations going from so-called “toy” problems in R&D to real business results tied to KPIs and ROI? In this episode of the a16z Podcast, Casado, Clark, and Spisak (in conversation with Sonal Chokshi) share their thoughts on what’s happening and what’s needed for AI in practice, given their vantage points working with both large companies and AI startups. What does it mean for data scientists and domain experts? For differentiation and advantage? Because even though we finally have widely available building blocks for AI, we need the scaffolding too… and only then can we build something powerful on top of it.

a16z Podcast: AI, from 'Toy' Problems to Practical Application

In this episode of the O’Reilly Media Podcast, I talk with JP Phillips, platform engineer at IBM Cloud. IBM is driving development in the container space, as shown through last year’s launch of Istio, an open cloud service that allows developers to connect, manage, and secure networks of different microservices. Istio, a joint collaboration between IBM, Google, and Lyft, (in conjunction with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation), is platform agnostic and runs on Kubernetes platforms, such as IBM’s Cloud Container Service. Interest in the platform is growing. IBM's Daniel Berg, who is giving a talk on Istio at the upcoming OSCON conference in Portland, recently led a hands-on workshop at KubeCon in Copenhagen to help developers learn how Istio can solve common challenges with microservices deployed within Kubernetes.

Kubernetes and Containers for Enterprise Developers

Should you be containerizing your monolithic applications? If so, which ones, and how? Where do you get started with an IT modernization initiative? Who should lead it? How important is cultural transformation? And which principles should guide you? Robert answers these questions for a living in his job as Cloud Advisor and Founding Partner of Kumulus Technologies, and he very generously shares his wisdom on these topics and more on this episode of Cloud Unfiltered.

Note: At one point in the show Robert mentions a book about micro services, but can't recall the name of the author. He later provided that information: The book is "Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained Systems" and it was written by Sam Newman.

Ep53: Tackling IT Modernization, with Robert Starmer

Migrating from legacy systems is time consuming, expensive, and risky--even if you're not a company that millions of people depend on for a ride. So what drove Lyft to make the move? How did they do it? And how did they manage to preserve service levels throughout the process? Lita explains it all in Part Three of our KubeCon/CloudNativeCon series.

Ep64: Evolving Legacy Systems to Kubernetes, with Lita Cho

Establishing an easy-to-use hybrid cloud that delivers a seamless user experience is virtually impossible if you go the DIY route. But the process gets a whole lot easier--and a whole lot faster--when you do it with the help of the recently announced Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS. In this episode we speak with Matt Ferguson of Cisco's Multicloud Integrations and Solutions Group about why Cisco collaborated with AWS on this project, which use cases the solution is best suited for, how it works on the back end, how it's supported, and where you can go today to try it out for free.

Ep70: Exploring the Cisco Hybrid Solution for Kubernetes on AWS, with Matt Ferguson

We all know the cattle vs. pets analogy as it applies to servers, but have you ever considered that you may be doing the same thing with your Kubernetes clusters? 

In this episode Bill explains why it happens, why you want to correct the situation, and how to approach it.

Are microservices all upside? Is Kubernetes too complicated? Does Knative go far enough? Who is Knative right for? Are we headed to a "serverless first" world?

This episode is truly the manifestation of our ideal "chatting with a friend over beers after a busy day at a conference" vision. Hope you enjoy the wide-ranging talk about many of the big issues that are hot in the cloud world today.

Ep99: Hot topics in the cloud world, with Dominik Tornow

In this 1 hour long themed episode of AWS TechChat, I am joined by my container yoda Mitch Beaumont explore everything containers in the world of Kubernetes, or is that Kube or K8?

It is Kubernetes themed affair, we start the show reminiscing about its history, going back, way back looking at where Kubernetes came from and how we arrived at the position we are today and gave an overview of Kubernetes concepts in the forms of Pods, ReplicaSet, Services, Volumes, NameSpaces, ConfigMaps, Secrets, StatefulSets & DaemonSet.

We then speak about CNI (Container Network Interface) and Istio for container networking and service discovery before a bit of a Q&A session on why Kubernetes?

Lastly we talk about Amazon’s Kubernetes offerings in the form of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), AWS Fargate for EKS and how you can get started on Kubernetes journey.
