#149: How Docker's Newly-Announced Support for Kubernetes Impacts Developers

Episode Summary

On today's episode of The New Stack Analysts, TNS Founder Alex Williams and TNS reporter Swapnil Bhartiya spoke with Josh Bernstein, Vice President of Technology at Dell, and Patrick Chanezon, Member of Technical Staff at Docker. At this year's DockerCon EU conference, Docker announced it will begin support for Kubernetes. While certain projects may benefit from this announcement, developers working on tasks requiring an orchestrator such as Mesos may have found it lacking. For those working with large scale data services, Bernstein explained that Mesos is often the developer tool of choice for big data applications and those running the SMACK stack, emphasising that Kubernetes simplistic nature has yet to address these issues. "I think the announcement here surrounding Docker embracing Kubernetes is a big deal. I think it shows the path forward in the industry and you get broader adoption of the Kubernetes ecosystem as people no longer have to choose between one or the other," said Bernstein. Bernstein noted that Dell announced a Docker to CSI bridge at DockerCon EU as part of the REX-Ray 11 package, focusing on bringing CSI into the Docker ecosystem.
