orchestration

What is Container Orchestration – Kubernetes Version?

In a previous post, What is Container Orchestration?, I explained container orchestration using some examples based on Docker Swarm. While Docker Swarm is undeniably easier to both use and explain, Kubernetes is by far the most prevalent container orchestrator today. So, I’m going to go through the same examples from that previous post but, this time, use Kubernetes. One of the great things about Docker Enterprise is it supports both Swarm and Kubernetes so I didn’t have to change my infrastructure at all.

What is Container Orchestration?

Over the last two or three years I’ve given a similar presentation on containers to operations groups at clients, potential clients, conferences and meetups. Generally, they’re just getting started with containers and are wondering what orchestration is and how it impacts them. In this post, I will talk about what container orchestration is and provide several videos with simple examples of what it means.

Create a Kubernetes User Sandbox in Docker Enterprise

When you create a user in Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), that user can immediately create a Swarm service on the cluster. All they need to do is generate, download, unzip and “execute” their client bundle. However, on the Kubernetes side Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and the default user permissions are quite a bit different. I will show you how to get a similar experience with Kubernetes that you get with the out-of-the-box experience of Swarm.
