Sips - "Monolith to Microservices: Scaling - AKA, Blowing things Up!"

Coffee and Containers "Sips" are short clips from the regular Coffee and Containers web series. Often times, teams get really excited once they start to see benefits from a microservices architecture, and they start migrating everything. But scaling brings in an entirely new set of challenges.

Getting Up and Running with Calico for Windows

Calico is the only cross-platform CNI and networking and network security policy engine available today. It currently powers more than 150,000 known clusters across millions of nodes worldwide. Calico is also unique in supporting multiple dataplanes: Standard Linux, eBPF, and Windows HNS. Many organizations have .NET and Windows workloads that they have or eventually will modernize and deploy to Kubernetes. However, this may be uncharted territory for teams that are using Windows. This session is intended to inform and ease your adoption of Kubernetes on the Windows platform.

Get Up and Running with NVIDIA GPUs in Rancher Kubernetes Clusters

With massive adoption of Kubernetes at enterprises worldwide, we are seeing Kubernetes going to new extremes. On the one hand, Kubernetes is being adopted for workloads at the edge and delivering value beyond the data center. On the other hand, Kubernetes is being used to drive Machine Learning (ML) and high-quality, high-speed data analysis capabilities.
