Foolproof Kubernetes with GKE, with Mathew Duggan
Listen now
Description
What if Kubernetes was so easy to install and manage to be foolproof? In this KubeFM, Mat argues that GKE is the only Kubernetes managed service that offers a beginner-friendly and thought-through experience in running a Kubernetes cluster. Follow Mat's journey to AKS, GKE and EKS and learn: How GKE autopilot can help you optimize costs and reduce underutilized node resources. How the GKE container-optimized OS prevents and eliminates an entire set of security misconfigurations in node management. How GCP's application of machine learning on the IAM permissions can help you gradually refine security permissions as applications are deployed. But Mat didn't stop there and had more food for thought: Are we over-logging and over-monitoring in Kubernetes? CNI and Ingress have evolved since their inception. What happens now that we are stuck with those decision choices? Is there a simpler alternative to Kubernetes that is multi-cloud and cloud agnostic, and what could it look like?
