Kubernetes Beyond

As in the Star Trek Beyond movie, which the title of this talk tries to recall, we will present how Kubernetes can be extended beyond containers using Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) to schedule custom tasks and resources or bring Kubernetes automation to the next level.
During the presentation we will go deep into the concept of Operator and provide some useful examples of application of this pattern.

15. AUTOPILOT PATTERN Is an approach to application and infrastructure design that pushes automation for each component of our systems into the application http://autopilotpattern.io/ States that the automation logic of an application component should be kept in the same repo with that component's code

17. OPERATOR An Operator is an application-specific controller that extends the Kubernetes API to create, configure and manage instances of applications on behalf of a Kubernetes user. An Operator represents human operational knowledge in software to reliably manage an application. https://coreos.com/operators

22. RECAP Kubernetes is meant to be easily extented beyond its standard capabilities With Kubernetes we can go beyond the infrastructure and focus on applications Kubernetes enables new orchestration / life-cycle management patterns that were not possible before
