Let’s have some fun with Kubernetes and Akka Cluster. In this talk we’ll spin up a production-ready Akka cluster in seconds through the power of Kubernetes. We’ll deploy, update, scale and randomly kill nodes just to watch them recover automatically, all without touching any underlying infrastructure. If we still have time, we’ll even add Akka persistence to the mix. See how easy it can be to get started with Akka Clustering on Kubernetes.

What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is a Docker container orchestrator from Google. It enables us to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

9. Operational realities affect how you write code
11. If your infrastructure isn’t Reactive then neither is your application
