We presented our LinkedIn compute infrastructure team’s journey moving LinkedIn’s large 500,000+ bare metal servers running thousands of microservices and a lot of stateful workloads to a Kubernetes based platform.
In this session, we talk about LinkedIn’s scale, how we automate bare metal server management and maintenance from the ground up, built Kubernetes node and cluster management layers for our needs, and how we’re building workload platforms for stateless, stateful and batch workloads.
Ronak and I were Abdel’s guests at the Kubernetes Podcast by Google ahead of our KubeCon talk in London next month. We talked about our work building the next generation of the compute infrastructure at LinkedIn with Kubernetes, the challenges we faced and our journey dealing with the scale and complexity so far.
