Containers make it possible to standardize the deployment of software to any compute environment. However, managing and orchestrating containers at scale is a major challenge. Kubernetes was originally created by Google and solves the problem of scaling container deployment. Ben Elder is a Senior Software Engineer at Google, and an Elected Member of the Kubernetes Steering Committee. Ben joins the show to talk about why Kubernetes became the standard for container orchestration, Kubernetes control theory, how he runs his home infrastructure, and more.   This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison.
