Kubernetes Pods with persistent volumes are important for data persistence because containers are being created and destroyed, depending on the load and on the specifications of the developers. Pods and containers can self-heal and replicate. They are, in essence, ephemeral.

bookmark_borderKubernetes : Deploy a production ready cluster with Ansible.

Kubesray is a group of Ansible playbooks for deployment a Kubernetes cluster in most metal and most clouds.

Official site: https://kubespray.io/

As described by project git repository :

  • Can be deployed on AWS, GCE, Azure, OpenStack, vSphere, Packet (bare metal), Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (Experimental), or Baremetal
  • Highly available cluster
  • Composable (Choice of the network plugin for instance)
  • Supports most popular Linux distributions
  • Continuous integration tests

My intention for this lab is show a deployment on premisses environment, so if you found this post directly without had a Kubernetes background maybe this overview can help you.

We talk about system architecture and how it solves problems with use cases to handle containerized deployments and scaling.
