03 Kubernetes Evolution, from the Hard Way to Managed Multi-cloud
summary
A multi-cloud Kubernetes platform is built for a mobile ad backend (10x traffic growth) by splitting workloads between AWS and bare‑metal Packet to cut costs and add bursting and failover. Components: MetalLB + Contour for ingress, Calico for host protection, OpenEBS for local volumes, strongSwan VPN, and a Packet cluster‑autoscaler (merged in K8s 1.16). Result: three months to production, three‑month payback, 50% savings, and hundreds of thousands of API requests/sec.
