Summary:

Deploying a Kubernetes cluster is relatively simple but managing 
multiple highly available Kubernetes clusters is quite difficult. Come 
hear straight from the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS) team how they 
run thousands of highly available Kubernetes clusters for IBM customers. 
Don't worry, this is not going to be a talk filled with sunshine and 
rainbows. In this talk we will share lessons of the issues we have had 
to overcome as well as best practices for using Kubernetes to deploy 
highly available applications. If you ever wanted to learn the real 
stories around hosting and managing Kubernetes without any sugar coating 
then this is definitely a talk that you shouldn't miss.
