This document discusses the Kubernetes platform and its benefits for developers, IT operations, and businesses. It outlines some of the challenges of implementing and operating Kubernetes at an enterprise level, and how Red Hat OpenShift addresses these challenges through features like automated operations, application lifecycle management, and developer productivity tools.

The Kubernetes platform
for developers

6. GENERAL DISTRIBUTION
Developers want
to be productive and
have choice
Choice of architectures
Choice of programming languages
Choice of databases
Choice of application services
Choice of development tools
Choice of build and deploy workflows
They don’t want to have to worry
about the infrastructure.

IT Operations needs
secure, efficient and
controlled processes
Automated* provisioning
Automated installations
Automated security scanning
Automated upgrades
Automated backups
And it needs to integrate with what
you already have.

Kubernetes Components

12. Etcd
Distributed, consistent key-value store used
for config management, service discovery,
and state management
12
Master Components
Kube-controller-manager
Daemon that watches the state of the cluster
attempts to make changes based on current
state and desired state
Cloud-controller-manager
Allows cloud providers to release code specific
to their platform and interact independently
with Kubernetes.
Kube-apiserver
API server used to expose Kubernetes
control plane.
Kube-scheduler
Schedules pods and deploys them to nodes
based on availability of requested resources

13. Kubelet
Agent that runs on each node, and makes
sure pods are running and healthy
13
Node Components
Kube-proxy
Enables service abstraction maintaining
network rules on hosts and performs
connection forwarding
Container Runtime
Software that is responsible for
running containers. Docker,
containerd, cri-o

14. But we need Networking…

PublicPrivateVirtualPhysical
Bring your own middleware, data
& other services. Build out a
service catalog / interface to
enable self-service deployment.
Take existing application build/CI
& deployment tools and evolve to
add container image build & mgt.,
continuous deployment, etc.
Pull Kubernetes or other
orchestration (Mesos, Swarm)
from rapidly moving upstream &
support / maintain yourself. Do
all the work required to integrate
it into your enterprise IT
environment (networking,
storage, registry, security,
logging, metrics, etc.)
Pull Docker container runtime
from rapidly moving upstream
and support, secure and maintain
it yourself.
Support and manage your own
Linux community distro or build
on existing RHEL or 3rd party
commercial Linux offerings.
