When considering OpenStack and Kubernetes, it is important to note that they do not compete with each other, rather, they are complementary projects. OpenStack is an infrastructure software, its priority is to manage your infrastructure resources such as virtual machines, networking services and storage.

Many organizations are using Kubernetes to containerize their workloads because of the numerous benefits. These benefits include portability, scalability, reliability, automation and ecosystem. Running Kubernetes workloads on the wrong type of infrastructure can lead to a range of undesirable consequences such as: performance degradation, reliability issues, security vulnerabilities, and increased cost.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the key considerations you should keep in mind when choosing the right infrastructure to host your Kubernetes workloads.
While Harvester, Nomad, and Kubernetes share many similar app native features, their deployment and management approaches, as well as additional capabilities like distributed computing, can influence the best fit for your specific use case within the context of OpenStack.
Both Kubernetes and OpenShift are powerful cloud platforms with their strengths and weaknesses. When deciding between the two, it’s crucial to evaluate your business’s specific requirements, including your infrastructure, skill level, and budget.
Kubernetes on OpenStack is a powerful combination. It helps organizations manage their applications and services. This power duo provides the flexibility to scale up or down as needed, while also allowing for easy deployment and management of applications. This is essential for an organizations success in today’s fast paced digital age where organizations must be able to deploy their applications quickly and efficiently, at scale, and across multiple environments.
The first step for deciding to run Kubernetes is to first understand if your environment is ready to run it. After that, it’s all about figuring out where you want to run Kubernetes. From a reliability, security, and cost perspective, running Kubernetes on OpenStack is never a bad idea. In this blog post, you’re going to learn about the key reasons why you’d want to run Kubernetes clusters on OpenStack.
If you’re implementing a specific technology for an organization, the overarching question that you must constantly ask yourself is “why use X technology”. Business leaders and engineers must understand why and how a platform will help fill their needs. There are an incredible amount of platforms and orchestration tools in the wild today, along with some from the past, but the burning desire for Kubernetes is running red hot.
For any application that you’re deploying, chances are you’ll have some sort of sensitive information that you need to pass into the app. Because of that, you’ll need a way to store that sensitive data for your containerized workloads – this is where Kubernetes secrets come in.
In this blog post, you’ll learn about what secrets are, how to create standard Kubernetes secrets, and how to get started with the OpenStack Key Manager.
At the beginning of the Kubernetes era, many engineers had a concern – what about apps that have to store data? Kubernetes got a “reputation” of only being for stateless applications and applications that didn’t need to store data. However, that’s vastly changed over the years when implementing Kubernetes. In this blog post, you’re going to learn how to manage Kubernetes volumes and what CSIs are, along with how to install a CSI plugin on a Kubernetes cluster running in OpenStack.
Creating repeatable and automated processes, especially for creating infrastructure layers, is drastically important. It’s the make or break between creating resources at scale and clicking a bunch of buttons for 90% of your day. In the past few years, the mantra for almost every engineering team has been move faster, and the way to do that is with proper automation.
In this blog post, you’re going to learn about an important repeatable process, creating Kubernetes clusters using Magnum.
Security is at the forefront of every engineer’s mind when it comes to Kubernetes. When it comes to security and Kubernetes from an OpenStack perspective, one of the most significant pieces is Operations security. In this blog post, you’ll learn about Kubernetes security on OpenStack and how to manage it from an Ops perspective.
Many engineers believe that OpenStack is a “thing of the past”, but it’s not. In fact, it’s becoming increasingly popular all throughout not only Telco, but auto manufacturers and any other organization that needs the ability to scale and manage workloads a certain way. With OpenStack, you get to manage and maintain Kubernetes clusters the way that you want.
In this blog post, you’ll learn about why Kubernetes on OpenStack is valuable for organizations and how you can get started with it today.
Wherever you search for OpenStack and Kubernetes, chances are you’ll run across something around Telecommunications (telco). Although OpenStack is used across many organizations, including Mercedes Benz, telco is typically the heaviest industry when it comes to OpenStack.
In this blog post, you’ll learn about Kubernetes on OpenStack for telco, which will most likely open your eyes to why you’d want to use Kubernetes on OpenStack for any industry.
It’s pretty clear that organizations are utilizing Kubernetes at a mass level. In this blog post, you’ll learn about why the Open Infrastructure Foundation and OpenStack are keeping a sharp eye on Kubernetes and why it’s important in today’s microservice-driven world.
