When you run Kubernetes in production and at scale, you encounter many issues that challenge the reliability of your workloads as well as your development workflows. Some of these issues come with time and increased usage and size of clusters as well as amount of workloads, some might only come once you go global and into regions that have vastly different technology landscapes like China.
This talk goes into detail on learnings from concurrently operating 100+ clusters for big enterprises in production on different clouds as well as on-premise data centers around the globe. Over the years we have fixed hundreds of post mortems and want to share both operations and development best-practices that can help avoid the issues we ran into. A focus of this talk is getting towards a hardened, reliable, and easily upgradable cluster setup.
Vorkenntnisse

Lernziele
Provide overview of day-to-day work that lets Giant Swarm run 100+ clusters in production. Useful for people operating clusters on their own.
