Cloud Native PythonThe road to being a first-class Kubernetes application

Description

Serverside applications are more and more likely to need to run indynamic cloud environments where they can automatically scale asrequired. One rightfully popular approach is to run the applicationas a Docker container inside a Kubernetes cluster, giving you a lot ofoperational benefits thanks to the Kubernetes folks.For the most part it is rather easy to make your Python applicationwork inside a Docker container. But there are a number of commonpatterns one can follow to save time by delegating more things to theruntime environment. Furthermore you can start adding a few simplenon-intrusive features to your application which will help improve theapplication live-cycle in the cluster, ensuring smooth hand-over whenmigrating the container to different nodes or scaling it up or down.This talk will discuss how to write a Python application which willbehave well in this environment, starting with the basics steps youcan rely on the runtime for, covering logging and all the way tosupporting the service life-cycle, health checking and monitoring in aKubernetes environment. You will see that building a cloud-nativeapplication is not very hard and something you can graduallyintroduce.
