Cloud-Native Symphony and Unravelling Challenges in Kubernetes Orchestration

Track: Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

As cloud native architectures become increasingly popular, open source tools have become essential for managing and deploying cloud native applications. Kubernetes stands as a pivotal open-source cloud-native tool, revolutionizing the landscape of container orchestration. As a powerful container orchestration platform, It also introduces a set of challenges that organizations must navigate to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and security.
By embracing comprehensive monitoring solutions, organizations can ensure the resilience of their cloud-native deployments, optimize resource utilization, and mitigate potential risks, ultimately contributing to a robust and reliable digital infrastructure.
Mo Haghighi will begin the talk with an introduction to cloud native architecture, the benefits of microsevices architecture, and the challenges involved in adopting Kubernetes platform in the realm of multi-tenant environment.
We will then discuss open source monitoring systems such as Prometheus and Grafana that work complementarily with Kubernetes to provide detailed and visualised insights into the health of microservices.
Whether you are a developer, architect, or IT professional, this talk will provide valuable insights for leveraging open source tools in your own cloud native initiatives.
