The Portability Paradox: Using Kubernetes to Balance Speed, Flexibility, and Dependencies
Conference (INTERMEDIATE level)
Tiznit
The complexity of today's software applications necessitates a more reliable, resilient, and dynamic approach to application management. We’ve all heard of Kubernetes, an open-source platform that automates container operations, obviating the need for manual processes involved in deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications.
What’s not widely discussed are the tradeoffs when choosing one implementation over another. Should you use vanilla Kubernetes, or a managed service. Is AKG, GKE or EKS a better choice for my application? But at the end of the day Kubernetes should allow you to easily migrate from one platform to another right?
Here in lies the portability paradox: as you choose services that are more native to one platform over another, which are subjectively easier for that deployment scenario you’re trading your ability to easily migrate your application over to another platform.
In this talk, we will dive into the nuances of this Portability Paradox. We will unpack how Kubernetes, while facilitating speed and flexibility, can also introduce new dependencies, forcing you to make tradeoffs between ease of use and vendor dependencies.
This talk will offer practical insights and strategies to utilize Kubernetes to best prepare you for the Portability Paradox, helping you to strike a balance between speed, flexibility, and dependencies.
