An Open-source HCI Platform Built on Kubernetes
Explore an open-source alternative to traditional proprietary hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software in this 20-minute sponsored session from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021. Discover Project Harvester, built on Kubernetes and designed for easy understanding, installation, and operation without extensive Kubernetes knowledge. Learn about the motivation behind Harvester, its architecture, and witness a demonstration of the latest release. Gain insights into VM management within container platforms, understanding why previous attempts haven't matched the popularity of industry-standard virtualization products. Delve into topics such as ISO images, disk volumes, NICs, VLANs, and how Harvester bridges the gap for VM administrators unfamiliar with Kubernetes concepts like pods and PVCs.
