The rise of container technologies has brought many paradigms shifts in terms of software development, deployment and maintenance, especially in conjunction with micro-service architectures. And so, when a while ago I had the opportunity to give a lecture at the inverted CERN School of Computing (iCSC) I was really happy to talk about the orchestration of containerized microservices with Kubernetes.
If anybody is interested in it, the lecture is still publicly available on the CERN Document Server. It covers crucial aspects of micro-services architectures like horizontal and vertical scaling, availability, fault-tolerance, rolling updates, etc. and it focuses on the challenges of container orchestration.
An added value of the lecture is that it also shares many of the lessons learnt while I was working on my R&D project for the data acquisition system of the ATLAS experiment, which counts a big computing cluster of thousands of nodes and has quite demanding requirements.
