Decoupled Drupal 8 with Kubernetes

With the release of Drupal 8 we now have an extendable archecture which encourages decouping of frontend and backend responsibilities out into their own seperately managed components. While decoupling your first component may be simple, the complexity and cost (technical and compute) will increase exponentally. To solve this problem we need not look any further than the current microservices movement.

Kubernetes is a container manager built by Google, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and commonly known as "Googles infrastructure for everyone else".

This talk will:

• Explore the problem space of maintaining multiple components through their development lifecycle
• Introduce the core concepts of Kubernetes
• Demo a deployment of Drupal 8 with decoupled components on a Kubernetes cluster
