Multi-Cluster Kubernetes – Past, Present, Future - Tim Hockin -

Visit us at https://cloudnativeday.ch

Abstract
Since the beginning of Kubernetes, we’ve built a cluster-centric system. The real world, however, disagrees. As Kubernetes finds its way into more places, many users are facing problems that require multiple clusters. This brings new and different problems – both technical and managerial – and Kubernetes needs to do more to make this easier. This talk will look at work that has already been done (both successes and failures), work that is happening now, and (hopefully) work that is coming soon.
