The previous version forced us to create AWS IAM Policies that are too permissive when dealing with volumes. That's because: 1. Volumes were created without tags that identifies the new resource as managed by the cluster. So technically the resourse, at creation time, is not owned by the cluster. 2. Tags were added to the volume making the resource now managed by the cluster. The problem being that it could make ANY volume as managed by the cluster. Thus allowing resources that aren't really part of the cluster, or part of no cluster at all, to become a resource managed by the cluster. By combining the operations we can both make the code simpler, since we don't need to deal with deleting a volume in case we can't apply tags to it, plus the security model gets a nice improvement.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
