Kismatic center-stage on Kubernetes project | #OpenStack
by Heather Johnson | Aug 17, 2015
As open-source initiatives continue to grow, an increasing number of enterprises are taking part in the movement. Kismatic, Inc., the startup that provides enterprise support for Docker and Kubernetes, has put itself at the center of the emerging Kubernetes open-source project. Kismatic CEO Patrick Reilly caught up theCUBE, a SiliconANGLE Media production, during OpenStack Summit 2015 to discuss Kubernetes, Google and microservices.
“With the recent hype of containers because of the good work that Docker has done, people need a way to orchestrate those containers,” Reilly explained. “With mesas you’re able to treat your cluster of machines like a single compute resource and schedule Docker containers to come up and down, set up a service discovery, and use something like Marathon or Aurora to manage that cluster. With Kubernetes, it’s a similar approach, but some of the things are opinionated, so you don’t have to worry so much about service discovery and you can trust that it’s done the same way. There’s a lot less tooling that you need.”
Microservices becoming hot
Google, of course, is the reason why Kubernetes has gained so much traction. “Google wants to open source the project and get it in front of everyone,” said Reilly. “Google currently launches about 2 billion containers a week. Most of its workload is containers. I’m going to trust them.”
Reilly also explained the reason why “microservices” has become such a buzzword of late. “Many organizations have these old applications that have hot spots — they’re all cobbled together and very brittle,” he said. “I think of microservices as a way to make sure that each individual piece of an infrastructure can scale independently of each other, and that I can decouple those hot spots. If I were going to start a new project now, I’d go the microservices route, but I would also make sure I have a development stack that’s going to make sense. That’s where containers are exciting.”
