L’infographie qui m’a trigger Depuis quelques jours, les infographies se suivent (et se ressemblent) sur Linkedin. Kubernetes 1.36 est sorti et une des features qui fait le plus parler, c’est la sortie en GA des UserNamespaces.\nC’est un sujet que je suis depuis 2018 (talk The Route to rootless container à la kubecon EU de 2018) donc je peux dire que je suis content de voir l’aboutissement de ce long chemin. Cependant, je suis “profondément choqué” de voir la façon dont c’est présenté sur LinkedIn, visiblement par des gens qui n’ont aucune idée de comment ça fonctionne (et qui probablement, s’en fichent).\n

Nous exploitons déjà depuis plus de deux ans un cluster Kubernetes basé sur un empilement très complexe de couches OpenShift, mais aussi vSphere/VSAN/NSX-T, qui apporte un niveau de sécurité élevé avec le CNI Antrea (qui s’occupe du réseau du cluster Kube). Cela nécessite aussi un niveau d’expertise globalement très élevé, sans même parler du prix de ces couches…

I recently ran into a claim: Docker Compose is outdated and K3s is the king for my 1Gb VPS. At the same time, docker-compose.py is effectively deprecated, with Compose now shipped as a built-in docker compose command. That alone is not a problem, but it raised a reasonable question: has the role of Docker Compose actually changed, or is this just noise from the Kubernetes church?

Introduction K8s is already a crucial part in the VMware ecosystem for many years and the level of integration in other products like NSX and AVI changed a lot in the past. That is also true for the naming like “vSphere with Tanzu”, “vSphere IaaS” and “VKS” and perhaps more changes in the future. For this blog post we will bring some spotlight to the integration for VKS with NSX VPCs, which is from my point of view a great enhancement from tenancy point of view.
