Red Hat OpenShift / The Cloud Multiplier | Red Hat Livestreaming

Running highly-resilient, highly-available applications in the world of multicluster, cross-region, multicloud compute is a challenge in itself, but what happens when your application needs persistent data? What does a live, cross-cluster application look like with persistent data? What about backup and disaster recovery? John Strunk and Tesshu Flower join the Cloud Multiplier to talk about VolSync’s story. VolSync provides Kubernetes-native data mobility for data distribution, application migration, and disaster recovery. Join us as we learn about VolSync and scale databases, persisted applications, and more across clusters securely, quickly, and seamlessly!

Kubernetes is the resilient platform for your containerized applications, touting concepts like zero-downtime rolling deployment updates and metrics-driven application rollouts, but what happens when you need to update the platform? OpenShift, powered by the Update Graph, delivers a data-driven approach to platform updates. The update graph transparently provides insights and update guidance across architectures and deployment topologies - from on-premises to edge. This week, Lalatendu Mohanty and Pratik Mahajan from the OTA team join us to explore the inner-workings of the update graph. Join us to learn how OpenShift leverages fleet-wide analytics and CI to make data-driven changes to the update graph to provide every OpenShift cluster with a seamless, confident upgrade experience.

Whether production just went down and you need answers fast or you’re trying to find which deployment is using this secret that's stashed in your development environment, searching for an artifact in one, let alone hundreds, of Kubernetes clusters can be a headache! Knowing where to look and what to look for on a single cluster is an acquired skill, but what do you do at the multicluster scale? Join us as we talk about an incredible open source multicluster search tool with some of the team behind the project - Disaiah Bennett, Jorge Padilla, and Xavier Dharmaiyan. Multicluster search aims to simplify the object discovery process for the SRE, developer, and everyone in-between - all at the multicluster scale.

From one cluster to hundreds, there’s always maintenance to be done, upgrades to be installed, and optimizations to be implemented - wouldn’t it be nice if the cluster could just guide you on what to do next , or better yet - warn you before something goes wrong. Join co-hosts Gurney and Joydeep Banerjee along with their guests from the Red Hat Insights team as they talk about all things Insights. From cluster health and upgrades insights to cost efficiency, stability concerns to configuration changes - insights seeks to bring only the most relevant, actionable insights to your fingertips at the cluster - and fleet - scale. Learn about the service and operational challenges they faced and help shape the future of insights in today’s show!

Whether one cluster or a thousand, operating and automating a Kubernetes fleet can be rife with challenges. Ansible is a great toolbox to overcome these challenges, but translating your playbooks to a fleet of clusters can be a headache! The stolostron.core Ansible Collection supercharges your playbooks with easy, secure, and Ansible-native access across your Kubernetes fleet. Join Gurney and Joydeep as they talk to Hao Liu and the team behind the stolostron.core Ansible Collection as they discuss Ansible for fleet management and automation.

Kubernetes drove dynamic scalable compute from the datacenter out to the edge and everywhere in between. As the scale and heterogeneity of your compute footprint grows, one core challenge emerges - management. Infrastructure is only as useful as it is accessible, visible, configurable, and manageable. Join host Gurney Buchanan and guests Mike Ng and Mikela Jackson this week to discuss Open Cluster Management, a CNCF Sandbox project that focuses on simplifying and unifying Kubernetes multicluster management!

Like Uncle Ben said, “With availability-centric topology and incredible scale comes great upgrade complexity”, or something like that. Join Gurney, Joydeep, and their guests Ian Miller and Jun Chen, members of Red Hat’s Telco Engineering team, to discuss Topology-Aware Lifecycle Management (TALM). TALM aims to tame the complexity of upgrades and configuration changes across a fleet of edge appliances by integrating topology awareness into lifecycle operations.

As the number of clusters and compute resources driving your application multiplies, so does the complexity of your network configuration, right? Well, Nir and Stephen tell me it doesn’t have to! Join us as we talk to some of the experts behind submariner about all things multicluster networking. If all goes well, I might get to cut out the mess of Cat-6 cables I’ve woven together in my home-lab!

Creating a secure, compliant cloud presence across one cloud is a chore, multiple clouds is a job, add in on-prem and edge and you have yourself a headache - or do you? Turns out, the technology surrounding Policy and Compliance have evolved to meet modern distributed demands! Gus Parvin joins us to talk about fleet-wide governance with OPA Gatekeeper, Kyverno, the ACM Policy Framework, OpenShift Platform Plus and beyond.

Rapidly and elastically scaling your Kubernetes fleet is hard, slow, and expensive - right? Hypershift aims to solve all three of those challenges by hosting the control plane of a full, compliant OpenShift cluster as containers on another OpenShift cluster! Join us as we talk to the experts - and developers - behind Hypershift to learn how this interesting tech works, how it was developed, and the interesting challenges they faced along the way!

About Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management:
Multi-cluster management is hard. Technology, teams, and culture clash in a race to deliver clusters and applications in a secure and compliant way. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM) provides the capabilities to address common challenges that administrators and site reliability engineers face as they work across a range of public and private cloud environments. Clusters and applications are all visible and managed from a single console—with security policy built-in.
