11. Metaparticle.io
• Metaparticle provides idiomatic language interfaces that help
you build systems that:
• Containerize your application
• Deploy your application to Kubernetes
• Quickly develop replicated, load-balanced services
• Handle synchronization like locking and master election
between distributed replicas
• Easily develop cloud-native patterns like sharded-systems
Import io.metaparticle.*;
public class Main {
@Runtime(ports=80, replicas=2,publicAddress=true, executor=“metaparticle”)
@Package(repository="docker.io/kg",
jarFile="target/metaparticle-package-tutorial-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar")
public static void main(String[] args){
Containerize(() -> { .. });;

12. Service Mesh: istio
• A way to connect, manage, and secure microservices
– Manages traffic flows between microservices,
– enforcing access policies,
– and aggregating telemetry data,
– all without requiring changes to the microservice code

13. The Serverless craze!

17. Summary…
• What makes up the nucleus of Kubernetes
(as Brian Grant calls it) is getting more refined.
The way forward involves building on top of
the project, not by baking features in, which
will lead to stability.
• Kelsey Hightower reminds us all that running
Kubernetes adds no value to a company. Value
will only be a reality for those that use
Kubernetes to build better applications.
kubectl is the new ssh. CI/CD pipeline is very
important.
