Join us for talks from Sebastian Scheele (@HrScheele) co-founder from Loodse (@loodse) and Iago López Galeiras (@iaguis), Technical Lead and co-founder at Kinvolk (@kinvolkio). 

Sebastian will introduce the concept of NodeClass and NodeSet which allows utilizing kubectl to deploy nodes.

Iago will present the work that Kinvolk has been doing on rktlet, the Kubernetes CRI implementation for rkt.

Food & drinks will be provided.

TALK DETAILS:

“rktlet: rkt as a Kubernetes CRI implementation”,Iago López Galeiras
Abstract: rkt is a modern container runtime, built for security, efficiency, and composability. It is one of the container runtimes built into the Kubernetes core. But the Kubernetes community has now defined an interface that allows container runtimes to integrate with Kubernetes without requiring changes in the core Kubernetes code base. This interface is known as CRI – Container Runtime Interface. rktlet is the CRI implementation for rkt that is being worked on by the Kinvolk team.

This presentation will present rktlet, provide a status report, and show it in action. We'll also look at how rktlet development has driven changes in rkt itself.

“Let a Kubernetes cluster manage its worker nodes by itself”, Sebastian Scheele
Abstract: Why not use Kubernetes to manage and deploy worker nodes in a generic way? In a way which works on different cloud providers and also on bare-metal. This talk will introduce the concept of NodeClass and NodeSet which will allow you to utilize kubectl to deploy your nodes. Additionally, you will learn how to enhance the concept for specific requirements with your own controller.
