Hybrid cloud combines public clouds, private clouds, and on-premises data centers to create a unified, interconnected infrastructure.
An open hybrid cloud should provide a consistent user experience, deployment flexibility, choice of tools, and risk reduction through resilience.
Adopting a hybrid cloud strategy provides significant benefits like automated disaster recovery, lower latency for users, and data sovereignty compliance.
Skupper is a Layer 7 service interconnect that securely connects Kubernetes clusters across different clouds and regions without requiring VPNs or special firewall rules.
A live demonstration shows how Skupper automatically reroutes traffic from a failed service in a GCP cluster to a backup instance in an AWS cluster.
Skupper is configured using simple CLI commands to initialize clusters and link them with a security token, and it also supports a declarative YAML approach for GitOps workflows.
Knative enables a serverless approach on Kubernetes, allowing services to scale down to zero when inactive to significantly reduce costs in a multi-cluster environment.
This demo shows a Knative service automatically scaling down to zero pods when idle and then scaling up from zero and to multiple instances under load.
A complete solution combines Skupper and Knative, and a final example shows how to manage stateful applications like a database with CockroachDB across clouds for data resilience.
