State of OKD 4
Christian Glombek and Vadim Rutkovsky Red Hat
OpenShift Commons Briefing
April 2020

A

Hello: everybody, I'm christian columbic I'm, one of the co-chairs for the okd working group and yeah, we'll be presenting on the state of okd for today. So welcome everybody. ah Let's have a look at the agenda. First, we'll go through what is okay d4 then what is Fedora core OS will have a okd for beta demo. Then we'll have a quick look at the road ahead. Then an introduction to the okd working group and then just a call to try the okay d4 Vita. Let's get started. What is okay, t4.

A

Okay, d4 is the origin community distribution of kubernetes. It is the OpenShift code base that is also used for the open shift. Compute platform, our product at Red, Hat also called OC p, plus Fedora core OS. You can find all the info on. Ok, the I/o.

A

Ok, d for a community distribution of kubernetes, plus plus it's automated installation patching and updates from the OS up. What does that mean? So we we actually have bundled the operating system with the cluster and it's all packaged together so from the lowest level to the application level. It's all automated operations.

A

We have the Linux host with Fedora core OS platform and cluster management, which is the open shift, brunette, ease distribution and then, on top of that, we have operators that are run the applications in an automated manner.

A

Well, let's see what plaid from swiss support, how we run on bare metal, VMS, OpenStack, AWS, Microsoft, Azure and Google cloud platforms, a group cloud platform for for some of that, those platforms you may need to upload the images manually before you can start the installation process, which requires a little bit of manual work, but most of it is really driven by the Installer and fully automated on most platforms as well.

A

Okay, going to the next section, what is Fedora core OS derocker OS is an automatically updating, Linux OS, it's aimed at containerized workloads, it's based on rpm, OS, 3 and ignition, and it's built with core OS assembler and composed of Fedora RPM packages. So, let's pause here a little bit, that's a lot of information on one slide.

A

We have sort of taken the best, our learnings from the atomic host OS and from core OS, which is the technologies rpm, os3 and ignition, and put them together in Fedora core OS Nelson red head core OS, which replay which replaces Fedora core OS in OCP. In OCP. We we have a reddit core, OS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux core OS.

A

Instead of Fedora core OS, which is the main difference between okay Dee and Ossie, P um they're, built with a tool called core OS assembler can actually I build your own operating system out of our PMS with that and ignition is used to do the first boot configuration here. So it's a I really like the concept. It's super easy to provide the configuration up front and then the ignition takes care of configuring. Everything um on first boot and RPM OS tree is our immutable host OS or the system that builds immutable host images.

A

So it's an image based operating system.

A

All right um I'll hand this off to to budding now for the ok D for beta demo. So let him take it away.

B

Hello, my name is buddy Mikulski and I will turn my okay T for today. So if you're familiar with OpenShift containing a platform our web console, you will notice that okay T for landing page overview page, is very similar to put CP except we use different branding.

B

It will come to down.

B

B is different branding for okay, D and other that we support all the features which Oh kitty has meaning monitoring, banter equals coaster, inventory and details pages, and also, and all like that. The most major difference is that we use fedora crow s as a basis for all our notes. Thus, we use a newer kernel version and the newer packages, including cry run time and so on.

B

In okay for also support community of readers using operator up so users won't have to record, don't require a subscription from redhead to install operators. In fact, in order to install or kt4 they don't require any full secret at all, and ok. D4 also has a developer view same as so CB we're developers a get away from complexity of pods deployments and so on and work with a simplified version and better focus on deploying the code instead of working with kubernetes creatives, and we also talked a lot about operators, though.

B

Ok t4 contains of approximately 30 operators right now, which make it run, and in order to demonstrate that value, we have created a small game.

B

Which is similar to standard duck hunt, but every time I shoot the duck, we're killing a board or removing a deployment.

B

Or that's enough now we can see that there's pause and if I killed, but our cluster doesn't go down because the operators are ensuring that all the necessary thoughts are being restarted and recreated on scratch. If necessary, though, the game shows the value of the operators.

B

And that's pretty much all yep all.

A

Right, thank you very much for the let's continue with your road ahead.

A

So we have a road map for ok, t4 and with the beta release, we're really in in the middle of phase 1, which is we have something that works and we're still stabilizing it and phase 2 would be reached when we, when we have a ga release, ready, which is to hopefully and we'll, be focusing on community collaboration and technology incubation in phase 2 and in the in the future.

A

So what we really want to do is invite the community to participate in in openshift development and have a entered yeah, have a feedbacks to the circle that sort of that week as rat-head, also get value from, and that we fix issues on the the newer Fedora core OS distant, newer in and with the meaning of it has the newest kernel and things like cgroups v2 and everything that hasn't landed in Red Hat, core OS Red Hat, Enterprise Linux core OS.

A

Yet so we really want to use ok DSA as a vehicle to to stabilize things before they land in our product and also give the community the opportunity to to use these things early on Oh technology incubation is a huge part in collaboration with the community.

A

There's also great projects like the Acme OpenShift Acme controller that can be used to provision certificates for services and routes that run in openshift, and we want to put these kinds of things in okd or make them optionally installable in okd, though the community really gets gets value out of this so yeah. This is the road ahead. Let's go to the okay D working group.

A

The okay D working group is the place where we meet and discuss openly the development and future plans for okay T. We have a slack channel open ship dev on the kubernetes dot slack comm.

A

Now we also have an open shift common slack where you can find us in the general channel and also in the okay d for channel. We have a google group which you can find under that link. That's also used as our mailing list that you can subscribe to that group and you'll get invitations to Z by a weekly video conference meetings, for example, which you can also which we hold and you can find a calendar or those are marked on on the fedora video Cal. Under the link below.

A

We also have two repositories: one is the github.com open shifts, slash community repository, which we use to track things we want to discuss in in the meetings, and we have the open shift. /O k d+, which is our tracker for our bucket tracker, essentially.

A

So with that, I would like to call on everybody to try the okay d for bata. um You can find it on ok, d, IL, /, download, dot, HTML and there's a few more resources linked here, the docs the located il. Then we have our release. You were where you can see all the builds from our CI system and even try out newer unreleased versions and again those two repositories.

A

So with that I would like to say thank you for listening in and I hope, you're enjoying working with okd.
