GitLab and Gravitational discuss Kubernetes

Ev Kontsevoy shares his serendipitous encounters with GitLab CEO Sid Sijbrandij, which led to a collaboration between GitLab and Gravitational, a company specializing in Kubernetes. This partnership focused on optimizing PostgreSQL deployment on Kubernetes and assisting GitLab in adopting Kubernetes for their SaaS operations. The discussion highlights the benefits of Kubernetes for resource management and cost reduction, comparing its potential industry dominance to historical shifts like Windows versus Linux. Kontsevoy sees Kubernetes and DC/OS as leading platforms, driven by support from major tech companies such as IBM, Red Hat, and Google. Despite competition from Docker Swarm, Kubernetes is seen as a dominant force due to its backing and open-source nature. Additionally, Gravitational contributed to integrating a Terminal feature within GitLab, enhancing user access to Kubernetes containers directly from the GitLab environment.
