A cloud native Kubernetes Global Balancer @ FOSDEM 22

k8gb is DNS based global service load balancer that can interconnect multiple Kubernetes clusters into one resilient system. Join this talk to learn how it can handle a failover scenario when pods in one cluster go down and second cluster in different location saves the situation. k8gb is an open-source Kubernetes operator that is deployed in each participating cluster. It is comprised of CoreDNS, ExternalDNS and the k8gb controller itself. Using ExternalDNS it can create a zone delegation on a common cloud DNS server like Route53 or Infoblox so that the embedded CoreDNS servers work as an authoritative DNS. K8gb controller makes sure these CoreDNS servers are updated accordingly based on the readiness probes of the application. In this sense this solution is unique, because it is using Kubernetes native tools with customisable probes and battle tested DNS protocol instead of HTTP pings or other similar approaches where single point of failure might be a problem. In k8gb architecture all k8s clusters are equal and there is no SPoF except the common edge DNS server.

Polyglot Operators, Spark Operator @ DevConf.us 19

In this talk Jiri Kremser and Mike McCune will show a library for implementing the operator pattern for Kubernetes in JVM languages. The library has been used to develop an operator for deploying and managing Apache Spark clusters in Kubernetes. The talk will also feature a live-coding demo in which you will see how easy it is to create a new operator from scratch on your own.

Spark Operator—Deploy, Manage and Monitor Spark Clusters on Kubernetes @ Spark Summit eu 19

Have you ever wondered how to implement your own operator pattern for you service X in Kubernetes? You can learn this in this session and see an example of open-source project that does spawn Apache Spark clusters on Kubernetes and OpenShift following the pattern. You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how spark-on-k8s native scheduling mechanism can be leveraged and how you can wrap your own service into operator pattern not only in Go lang but also in Java. The pod with spark operator and optionally the spark clusters expose the metrics for Prometheus so it makes it easy for monitoring and alerting.
