SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show, Lukas. Give everyone a quick introduction.
Topic 2 - Our topic today is virtualizing Kubernetes. Let’s get the most obvious question out of the way… Why virtualize k8s? Isn’t this another abstraction layer to manage and more complexity in the stack?
Topic 3 - What are the most common use cases? Combining test/dev and production?
Topic 4 - How does this impact other parts of the stack? I think about Istio, Rancher, etc. Does the complexity increase or decrease?
Topic 4a - How is the control plane handled vs. the data plane?
Topic 5 - With vm virtualization, a trend developed as the technology matured. In the beginning, consolidation was good, and as the technology supported greater and greater density, a tipping point was reached where fault domains were needed. Where is the virtualization of K8s on this scale?
Topic 6 - A few months ago at KubeCon in Salt Lake City, you announced vCluster Cloud. Are there any hints for our listeners for KubeCon EU?
Topic 7 - If anyone is interested, what’s the best way to get started?
