Kubernauts!

We are excited to announce the next San Francisco Kubernetes meetup will be October 30, 2018 at Microsoft's offices in San Francisco.

If you want to host or speak at the K8s community meetups, please reach out to me via email ([masked]) or Twitter (@baldwinmathew).

Agenda:

6:30 - 7:00 - Social

7:00 - 7:30 - Deploying TiDB, a distributed open-source MySQL-Compatible HTAP Database, using Kubernetes - Kevin Xu, PingCAP

This talk will introduce the architecture of TiDB and TiKV (a CNCF project), key use cases, a user story with Mobike (one of the largest bikesharing platforms in the world), and a demo of deploying TiDB + TiKV as a stateful application using Kubernetes in a Operator pattern on GKE.

7:30 - 8:00 - What is KubeDirector? - Tom Phelan & Joel Baxter, Bluedata

Kubernetes is clearly the container orchestrator of choice for cloud-native stateless applications. And with the introduction of StatefulSets and Persistent Volumes it is becoming possible to run stateful applications on Kubernetes. Now the KubeDirector project allows users to manage complex stateful clusters for AI, machine learning, and big data analytics on Kubernetes without writing a single line of GO code.

KubeDirector is an open source Apache project that uses the standard Kubernetes custom resource functionality and API extensions to deploy and manage complex stateful scale-out application clusters.

This session will provide an overview of the KubeDirector architecture, show how to author the metadata and artifacts required for an example stateful application (e.g. with Spark, Jupyter, and Cassandra), and demonstrate the deployment and management of the cluster on Kubernetes using KubeDirector.

8:00 - 8:30 - Social, Wrap-up, Jet
