Platform9 Presents Five Events to Share Best Practices for Serverless Applications and Operating Large-Scale Kubernetes in Production

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Platform9 (https://platform9.com/), the leader in SaaS-managed hybrid cloud, today announced it will present three sessions on Serverless applications at two upcoming industry events - Serverless Architecture Conference and SATURN 2019. The company will also host two Kubernetes-focused online events: a technical webinar with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as well as a DevOps.com webinar featuring a Platform9 user at Juniper Networks.

1)    Erwin van Eyk Presents "Going FaaSter: Cost-Performance Optimizations of Serverless on Kubernetes" at Serverless Architecture Conference

Serverless Architecture Conference helps developers and software architects master cloud-native architectures, learn more about the Kubernetes ecosystem and how to take advantage of Functions. The conference takes place between April 8-10, 2019 in The Hague, Netherlands.

Erin van Eyk, is a software engineer at Platform9 and contributes to Fission.io: an open-source, Kubernetes-native, Serverless platform. Erwin will be presenting different optimizations used in popular FaaS platforms, and recent research findings that aim to optimize the trade-offs between cost and performance.

• Going FaaSter: Cost-Performance Optimizations of Serverless on Kubernetes
• Wednesday, April 10 at 11:45 a.m. CEST
• Serverless Architecture Conference, The Hague, Netherlands

2)    Daniel Lipovetsky Presents "Kubernetes in Production: Operating etcd with etcdadm" on CNCF-hosted Webinar

In this webinar, hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Daniel Lipovetsky presents etcdadm, an open source project recently adopted by the Kubernetes Cluster Lifecycle SIG. etcdadm is a command-line tool with a kubeadm-like interface that allows users to easily configure, install and operate secure etcd clusters.

Daniel will explain the etcdadm design in depth, and discuss how Platform9's experience running etcd clusters in production informed that design. Daniel will also demonstrate deploying a highly available etcd cluster using etcdadm, recovering the cluster from both partial and complete failures. In the process, Daniel will cover important etcd runtime parameters and caveats of dynamic cluster reconfiguration.

• Webinar: Kubernetes in Production - Operating etcd with etcdadm
• Tuesday, April 16 T 10 a.m. Pacific
• Cloud Native Computing Foundation Webinar Series

3)    Ravi Ravichandran - VP Cloud Platform Engineering, Cloud Operations & DevOps at Juniper Networks - Discusses "5 Lessons Learned from Large-scale Kubernetes in the Enterprise" on DevOps.com Webinar

Platform9 customer Ravi Ravichandran - VP Cloud Platform Engineering, Cloud Operations & DevOps at Juniper Networks - will be joined by Sirish Raghuram, Platform9 CEO, for a lively discussion on how to get a large-scale production Kubernetes cluster up and running in on-premises environments.

Ravi and Sirish will discuss how to avoid the pitfalls of running production Kubernetes and ensuring high-availability, scalability, and performance. They will also touch upon the implications of building and operating your own production clusters using your own resources and upstream Kubernetes versus commercial alternatives available in the market.

Join the webinar to learn tips, best practices, and architectural approaches for the initial implementation as well as for the on-going day-2 operations.
