Episode 90: Kelsey Hightower, Staff Developer Advocate, Google Cloud Platform

Special Guest Kelsey Hightower, Staff Developer Advocate, Google Cloud Platform

Special guest Kelsey Hightower joins host Drew Ogryzek to discuss Kubernetes, its differentiating features in contrast to Mesos, CloudFoundry, Heroku and other Platform as a Service (PaaS) solutions, such as OpenShift which is actually built on top of Kubernetes.

When considering a fully hosted PaaS solution, if you find the opinions of the solution to be too constrained for all of your use-cases, then Kubernetes becomes super attractive.

Many of the resources for Kubernetes have Kelsey Hightower's name around them, including Kubernetes the Hard Way, Udacity's course Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes, and the soon to be released O'Reilly publication Kubernetes: Up and Running.
