ElasticKube is an open source management platform for Kubernetes with the goal of providing a self-service experience for containerized applications.

1. Container Management Platform
Alberto Arias Maestro, CTO @ ElasticBox

2.  Generation 1
 Workflow Driven
 Flexibility > Reusability
 Configuration Management mixed with Infra management
 Generation 2
 Model Driven
 IaaS Models (1 per cloud) + Configuration Management Models
 Reusability < Flexibility
 Configuration Management separated from Infra management
 Generation 3 container driven
 Model Driven
 Configuration Management at build time
 Single abstract container infrastructure model
Cloud Management Platforms

4.  Everything is a Model
 No need to orchestrate API calls
 No code to maintain
 Decoupled Binding Model
 Containers talk to Services
 Services forward traffic to POD
 Advanced Lifecycle Management
 Rolling updates and canary deployments
 POD Auto-scaling
 Container + Infrastructure
 Infrastructure Provisioning on demand
 Support for GCE, AWS, OpenStack
Why Kubernetes?

10.  Containers behave differently per environment
 Most deployment issues are related to configuration differences/incompatibilities.
 Not all containers work on all container management platforms.
 Make deployment commutative and test for it.
 Invest in a fast repo
 Pulling containers is the most time consuming.
 Add a test for the size of your containers.
 Understand network model of your container management system
 Network overlays, bridges, intra containers communication.
 Log everything
 Logs are the new ssh
