Deployments at Scale: Using Kubernetes and LaunchDarkly to run the IBM Cloud Container Service

In April, IBM hosted a Test in Production Meetup where Michael McKay discussed managing deployments at scale using Kubernetes and LaunchDarkly. He explained the concept of Razee, which is used to manage Kubernetes with Kubernetes. The presentation covered the scaling of Armada, challenges faced while managing thousands of clusters, and how IBM has improved its deployment process by focusing on visibility, transparency, decentralization, standardization, and simplicity. McKay also demonstrated RazeeDash, a tool that provides visibility into what's running on particular clusters, and explained the use of LaunchDarkly for managing thousands of deployments across multiple clusters.
