Testing Kubernetes at Scale with bare-metal

00:00:00 Conceptual introduction
00:04:47 Launching the VM slicer
00:05:52 Showing SSH into one of the VMs
00:06:35 K3sup plan
00:07:27 Kubernetes nodes are online
00:07:59 Installing OpenFaaS
00:08:54 Mass deploy tool for 1000 functions
00:11:57 Outro
I demo "slicer" and K3sup - a combination that can launch huge K3s clusters efficiently on bare-metal by slicing one or more machines into Firecracker VMs. Read the case-study that sparked the "slicer" tool: www.openfaas.com/blog/large-s...

Thanks, I like the final idea of demonstrating it for smaller on demand testing clusters

Yes that wasn't the original need that I had, but a 3-5 node cluster will be much quicker to create this way than with multipass or vagrant, etc. And whenever you're done, you can hit "Control + C" and it's all torn down for you.

Nice! Is the slicer tool available? Looks neat! Thank you Alex!

The voice level is very low in the video. Please fix it if you can. Thanks.

Hi, you may need to turn your volume up higher. It is fine on my system and on my phone. Any more gain and it’ll be distorted. You might also want to try out the generated captions? Not sure how good they are.
