Abstract

In the era of cloud computing, we know it's better for high availability and disaster recovery to use multiple sites for critical software, whether that be with multiple on-premises kubernetes cluster, or multiple cloud providers. But that software often isn't fully stateless, and can be difficult to run as two (or more) parallel deployments. Enter Skupper. Now we can "stretch" applications across multiple kubernetes clusters, regardless of whether they're in different data centers, availability zones, or cloud providers. What is it, what is it good for, and what is it not good for? Plus... what's up with the mascot? Come for the knowledge of new networking tools in cloud environments, stay for the pug pics and pirates!
