Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a virtualization admin. How would we transition their day-to-day activities from VMs to Containers?
Topic 1 - What does the virtualization infrastructure/platform vs. container infrastructure/platform consist of?
- Control Plane
- Content Repository
- Data Plane (Hosts, OS, Apps)
- Networking, Storage, Management, Logging, Monitoring
Topic 2 - How do we get an application onto each platform, and how are resources provisioned?
- Network
- Storage
- Security
- Backups
- What is automated (by default vs. tooling)
- Availability (models)
Topic 3 - Who is responsible for the different aspects of the application once it’s running?
Topic 4 - What are the biggest differences or misperceptions between the environments?
- Stateful vs. Stateless apps
- Automated (integrated) vs. Manual tasks
- Patching
