Building the future of Distributed Systems with Kubernetes

Erik St. Martin

Kubernetes has taken the container orchestration space by storm, but it can also be used to create higher-level application abstractions that allow you to build your own distributed systems from scratch. We’ll take a look at some of the patterns and tools available for creating these abstractions using Kubernetes, including Custom Resource Definitions and the Operator pattern. You’ll leave understanding how CRDs and the Operator pattern work, and how to create your own application abstractions using these techniques.
