This edition of meetup was held at Nexus Ventures by folks at OpenEBS on July 8th 2017, which started on a lovely Saturday morning.
Kiran Mova set the floor rolling with his talk on Hyperconverged version of OpenEBS with Kubernetes. Where he talked about containerized storage vs traditional storage, instead of building clustering into OpenEBS how they are leveraging Kubernetes’s capabilities to do clustering.
He also explained difference between various storage providers viz. Portworx, StorageOS, Rook, GlusterFS, OpenEBS, etc.
Then was talk by Kamesh Sampath on Istio named A sail in the cloud. Specifically tracing, monitoring, service discovery with Istio.
He explained the Istio Service Mesh architecture and all components it has. How side-car pattern is being used to deploy Istio with the existing apps in Kubernetes.
He talked and demoed about Canary deployment, tracing and Circuit breaking with Istio. Watch the video recording of talk by Kamesh to learn in detail. Here is his demo content.
After a snacks break, there was a talk by Zeeshan Ahmed about Dance of container image building. The main highlight of this highly interactive session was on best practices to be followed for building container images.
Where he explained why it is not a good idea to bake configs and secrets into container image and how one can use use Kubernetes secrets and configMaps to get this configs and secrets in the container on the fly, he then demoed the tool buildah where you don’t need a docker daemon to build the container image.
Followed by Zeeshan was talk by Saravanakumar where he talked about Source to Image in OpenShift, where he explained what is s2i, how you can use s2i with the running OpenShift cluster by directly providing github url of a project and see it deployed on OpenShift.
Then he demonstrated how you can build your own builder image for OpenShift s2i. Link to slides.
