Our Journey to Kubernetes at Scale
summary
Company moves Kubernetes from VMware vCloud Director one-shot installs to an automated productized platform. Early build uses VMware with static edge-gateway load balancing and Rook/Ceph for volumes, deploying in about 37 minutes. Next iteration runs Rancher on OpenStack with CCM and CSI enabled and cuts deployment to ~10 minutes. Final product uses Gardener on OpenStack to provision shoot clusters and delivers customer clusters in about 6–7 minutes with Argo CD replacing Jenkins.
