In this continuation of S01E57 our two chaps discuss how you can take containers from

single instances to production-ready, scalable deployments handling large app stacks

and that new-fangled hipster concept called micro-services. Using the once Google-owned project called Borg which later evolved into something now known as Kubernetes (k8s) as an example,

Martin and Chris discuss typical challenges when using containers as the main infrastructure

to modern workloads. Including such gory topics such as what happens if a container dies and

doesn't go to heaven, contradictions in terms such as ephemeral storage and why many k8s developers

have defected to VMware.
