KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Series

This is the first episode in the series we're doing at KubeCon Seattle. In it, James explains how his company is jumping from one public cloud to another with the help of Kubernetes. He also covers why they're doing it and shares his top tips for anyone else contemplating such a move.

Please forgive the dodgy audio. I'm working with some new audio equipment, and it may take a couple more shows to iron out the wrinkles.

Ep62: Cloud Jumping, with James Bowes

What do you do when your employer needs you to convert a huge catalog of music into new formats? You jump head-first into Kubernetes and build a scalable environment for executing batch and on-demand encoding workloads. At least that's what these guys did. Find out how they did it, what tools they employed, what they did right, and what they might have done differently. This is Day Two of the KubeCon series.

Ep63: Leigh and John's Excellent Encoding Adventure

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

New to Kubernetes? Then Noobernetes is for you. Neependra and Karthik are known for their wildly popular Kubernetes 101 classes on edX and Lynda.com. Today they talk through the ten most common questions they get from students who have taken those classes--as well as their best answers. If you're a Kubernetes noob (or know someone who is) this is the episode for you! This is the fourth episode in the KubeCon series. The links below will take you to some of the resources recommended during the show.

Ep65: Kubernetes for Noobs (Noobernetes 101), with Neependra Khare and Karthik Gaekwad

The grand finale of our KubeCon/CloudNativeCon series features Brandon Philips, CTO of CoreOS at RedHat. In this discussion he gives us the lowdown on newly-admitted CNCF incubator project etcd! Never heard of etcd? Take a few minutes to find out how this project has become an integral part of pretty much all Kubernetes clusters.

Ep66: Brandon Philips on etcd

Whether you're a seasoned IT pro, a total beginner, or any of the things  in-between, there is always room to learn more in this industry. Maybe you need to wrap your brain around containers--or figure out Kubernetes specifically. Maybe you want to get your Google Cloud certification, or expand your understanding of blockchain. The list of things you could choose to learn is seriously never-ending. The question (for most of us) is where do we learn it? 

In this episode we chat with Christophe Limpalair and Ell Marquez of the Linux Academy about what they teach, who they teach, how they teach, and how just about anyone can get involved--for free! 

This is the last session in the KubeCon series. I swear.

Ep97: How to keep your skill set fresh, with Ell Marquez and Christophe Limpalair

Cloud Unfiltered is a series of interviews with the people that are working to move cloud technology and implementation forward. This includes everyone from software engineers and open source project leads to IT executives and cloud users. In these interviews we talk about different cloud architectures, management models, and deployment strategies. We discuss platform compatibility, the culture changes required for cloud success, and the complimentary technologies that are making cloud more powerful with each passing day.
