I Have Deployed My App on Minikube - And Now What?

Explore the journey from deploying applications on Minikube to establishing a production-ready Kubernetes infrastructure in this comprehensive conference talk. Learn about the challenges and considerations beyond the initial "Hello Kube" stage, including the gap between local development and production environments, critical "small details" that can become roadblocks, the benefits of managed Kubernetes solutions, vendor lock-in concerns, and the potential of multicloud and Kubernetes federation. Gain insights into the complexities of networking, security, storage, and cluster management in real-world Kubernetes deployments. Understand the different roles involved in Kubernetes operations and discover why most companies may benefit from certified managed solutions rather than building and operating their own clusters.

Intro
Summary
From bare metal to containers
Containers are easy...
And what about microservices?
Taming microservices with Kubernetes
Desired State Management
Having identical, software defined environments
Extending Kubernetes
Extension example: Istio, a service mesh for Kubernetes
Running a full K8s in your laptop
Your laptop isn't a true cluster
Minikube is only the beginning
The truth is somewhere inside...
The network is going to feel it...
The security journey
The storage dilemma
The ETCD vulnerability
And the ETCD?
Kubernetes is powerful
Different roles
Most companies don't need to operate the clusters
If you don't need to build it, choose a certified managed solution
