Run your Kubernetes cluster on OpenStack in Production

Special thanks to our 2020 Open Infrastructure Summit sponsors for making the event possible: Canonical (Ubuntu), Huawei, VEXXHOST, Cisco, Tencent Cloud, InMotion Hosting, Mirantis, Red Hat, Trilio, VanillaStack.io, and ZTE! -- OpenStack provides a robust and stable platform for Kubernetes with shared infrastructure and services for bare metal nodes, VMs and container applications. This session will review lessons learned when running Kubernetes clusters on OpenStack in production and new challenges to bring in new services and high performance datapath.  Dive into work being done to provide fast datapath options of SR-IOV, OVS-DPDK and hardware offload with SmartNICs and FPGAs to kubernetes pods with bare-metal performance. Review deployment options for Kubernetes on OpenStack, a reference architecture with limitations and advantages. Delve into recommendations for Kubernetes services like Ingress router, load balancer, network policy, firewall and SDN services when running on an OpenStack cloud. Take a closer look at options for load balancing of pod traffic and review the performance impact of continuous churn in network policy on OpenStack security groups.
