From laptop to the world: multi-region container deployment with Kubernetes

Kubernetes, the open source, container orchestration and cluster management tool draws on lessons learned from a near-decade of using containers at Google. It handles deployment and provisioning of application architecture, and handles a number of critical failure scenarios gracefully – from a crashed process to a failure of cluster nodes. In this hands-on talk, we will develop, run and test a Java application locally, and deploy it into a cluster of machines with Kubernetes and container orchestration. But we won’t stop there: we’ll see how we can use Kubernetes Cluster Federation to deploy the application into multiple datacenter regions around the world, configuring global load balancing, and regional-level service discovery that can handle a variety of failure scenarios.
