In this podcast with Ken Robertson of Apcera, learn about some of the obstacles associated with cluster management, container management, scheduling, and more. Robertson talks about Apcera’s approach to handling multi-user systems, and the high value placed on the user experience of managing workloads. Another important topic discussed in the podcast is how you manage security and clustering with multi-user services, and the issue of trust when it comes to giving high-level access to hosts and privileges. To Robertson, many of these issues are related to the need for fine-grained control within clusters, and he talks to The New Stack about how Apcera can help address those needs.

As lead architect at Apcera, Ken Robertson builds, deploys, manages, and monitors applications and infrastructure at scale. He enjoys blurring the lines between architect, developer, and operations. An active open source contributor, Ken authored Kurma, one of the more advanced implementations of the App Container specification (appc) in 2015, and is an active maintainer on the project. Ken also guides Apcera’s work with the Open Container Initiative (OCI). His previous development experience includes time at Telligent (now Zimbra), Involver (acquired by Oracle), and Demandbase.
