VM Admin vs Container Admin

Show: 47

Show Overview: Brian and Tyler talk about how the day-to-day tasks of a VM Admin would change if they adopted Containers in their environment. Show Notes:

Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a virtualization admin. How would we transition their day-to-day activities from VMs to Containers?

Topic 1 - What does the virtualization infrastructure/platform vs. container infrastructure/platform consist of?

• Control Plane • Content Repository • Data Plane (Hosts, OS, Apps) • Networking, Storage, Management, Logging, Monitoring

Topic 2 - How do we get an application onto each platform, and how are resources provisioned?

• Network • Storage • Security • Backups • What is automated (by default vs. tooling) • Availability (models)

Topic 3 - Who is responsible for the different aspects of the application once it’s running?

Topic 4 - What are the biggest differences or misperceptions between the environments?

• Stateful vs. Stateless apps • Automated (integrated) vs. Manual tasks • Patching
