The Kubernetes ecosystem was on full display at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Barcelona this past week. But many of these providers weren’t simply supporting customers’ Kubernetes efforts to implement cloud-native architectures. They were also taking advantage of cloud-native approaches themselves.
Here are the highlights.
State in a stateless world
Take, for example, the challenge of maintaining state in Kubernetes’ essentially stateless environment. Given the dynamic ephemerality of containers, simply connecting them to a database or file system as though the applications running in those containers were leveraging a traditional virtual machine environment would lead to a range of performance issues and the possibility of lost data in the event of unexpected failures.
