LinuxCon + ContainerCon North America 2016

The key word on many IT administrators mind nowadays is 'scale.' Just a few years ago, an administrator maybe responsible for dozens or perhaps even a few hundred servers at a time. With the growth of Cloud-based technologies, administrators are now tasked with managing many thousands of entities, be it virtual machines, Containers or phsyical nodes.

This presentation will address how an administrator can tackle these new challenges. Using his own journey from Cloud skeptic to Cloud evangelist, David Critch will demonstrate how Containers and automation can be leveraged to deploy an efficient, Cloud-native environment using Kubernetes and Ansible.
