OpenStack Kubernetes IaaS is this a Cloud Computing management system whose time has come?

SF Bay OpenStack Meetup – OpenStack on Kubernetes?

This two-part session at the SFBay OpenStack Meetup looks at the idea of an Openstack Kubernetes IaaS. OpenStack was designed as a virtual server-focused IaaS platform. Kubernetes is the Google-invented, open source Container management platform. The meetup starts with a brief discussion by John Starmer, Kumulus Tech’s Director of Education, of the relationship between OpenStack and Containers in general, before considering the possibility of treating OpenStack as a distributed, microservice-like application ready for containerization and then management with a container operating environment like Kubernetes – the conceptual architecture behind a combined OpenStack Kubernetes IaaS. The second session is a much deeper dive into the OpenStack Kubernetes IaaS concept by RackN‘s CEO and Founder, Rob Hirschfeld, into the pros, cons, and possibilities of using Kubernetes as an underlay for OpenStack.
