Google Kubernetes Engine scales up and what’s next [Video]

Earlier this week, Google Cloud announced it has upgraded its Google Kubernetes Engine capacity, with support for 65,000-node clusters. That’s up from its current support for 15,000-node clusters.

The jump is possible due to Spanner and other technologies, according to Gari Singh (pictured, left), product manager, Google Cloud, at Google LLC. Still, lots of the work was backported into open source.

“I mean, think about it. We were at 1,000, then 5,000 was big, 15,000 was massive. Now, from 15,000 to 65,000,” Singh said.

Singh and Bobby Allen (right), cloud therapist at Google, spoke with theCUBE Research’s Rob Strechay and Savannah Peterson at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Google Kubernetes Engine, scaling Kubernetes for AI workloads and increasing Kubernetes’ accessibility and ease of use. (* Disclosure below.)
