Keynote: Multicluster Strategies to “Kubernetify” Legacy Apps - Sai Vennam, Developer Advocate, IBM

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Covers concrete patterns and tools to move legacy apps into Kubernetes: use multiple clusters for dev/test/prod, multi-region failover and multi-cloud resilience, and add an orchestration layer for visibility, automation and microservice traffic management. Cites IDC figures 93% using multiple clouds and 81% using multiple public clouds to justify the pattern, describes community options like kubeFed (SIG Multi-Cluster), and shows service-mesh workarounds including Istio v1.4 experimental CLI to mesh and fail over services across clusters.
