KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020 Virtual

In this hands-on tutorial, you will learn how to progressively adopt Kubernetes by migrating one of your apps from VMs onto Kubernetes. You will perform the full migration process: from preparing your app for running in Kubernetes, to configuring routing, to performing a no-downtime migration and monitoring your app.

We will cover:

- Dockerizing your app
- Creating a Kubernetes YAML spec
- Deployments
- Configuring routing between K8s and VMs and discussing different topologies including using Consul
- Performing a no-downtime migration from VMs to K8s
- Viewing application logs with Fluentd, Elasticsearch and Kibana
- Viewing application metrics with Prometheus and Grafana
- Managing your hybrid environment This will be a completely hands-on tutorial.

The Container Storage Interface (CSI) does not only allow dynamic provisioning of Persistent Volumes from various vendors. It’s a wealth of new API objects that can perform various data management tasks through kubectl. In this end user focused session we’ll inform ourselves of the current status of CSI capabilities and demonstrate a few pragmatic use case of each individual feature. Learn about inline ephemeral volumes, volume expansion, raw block volumes and volume snapshot classes that will allow cloning and restoring of volumes — all with practical examples that can be broadly applied to many of the backend CSI drivers available. We’ll also discuss the anatomy of the already present primitives, Storage Class, Persistent Volume Claim and Persistent Volume for completeness.
