KubeCon Europe 2016

Abstract:
Containers are at the forefront of a new wave of technology innovation but the methods for scheduling and managing them are still new to most developers. In this talk we'll look at the kind of problems that container scheduling solves and at how maximising efficiency and maiximising QoS don't have to be exclusive goals. We'll take a behind the scenes look at the Kubernetes scheduler: How does it prioritize? What about node selection and external dependencies? How do you schedule based on your own specific needs? How does it scale and what’s in it both for developers already using containers and for those that aren't? We’ll use a combination of slides, code, demos to answer all these questions and hopefully all of yours.

• Efficiency and QoS (includes demo)
