The Modern Cloud

Containers, Kubernetes, Coreos, Go, Google, Vancouver summit

That's right, Openstack and Containers are no enemies, and they are not fighting at all,
Those two technologies are a powerful combination bringing the best of "two worlds" but in different layers of the stack, maybe combining them does not make sense,but actually it really does.

Combining Openstack + Heat + Murano + Kubernetes it does sounds really complex but actually is becoming the opossite
I want to share with you an interesting article from OpenStack SuperUser website, during the kubernetes meetup in San Francisco, there was a live demo where it was demostrated how to deploy a kubernetes cluster in minutes with OpenStack and Murano.

Also Mirantis is collaborating with Google to have a better integration of Kubernetes with OpenStack.

The guys from CoreOS have already take significant advantage, they are running several projects inside CoreOS, just to mention some, Etcd, Rocket, Fleet, all of them written in Go language, helping to automatize and do things easy specially for developers delivering a powerful platform of containers.
This topic deserve a more descriptive post, and I'll try to do it soon, In the meantime If you are interested to try CoreOS with all the nice stuff give it a try to Vagrant, they have put togheter some vagrant scripts to deploy a 3 nodes CoreOs cluster.

And for the lucky ones that are going to OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, there is going to be plenty of talks covering containers, actually is a full day about it, just to have an idea what big is this Hot-Topic.

The containerization of the cloud is becoming huge, and is going to change how we understand the definition of the cloud these days.

See you in Vancouver!
