Workshop - Deploying Vault and Consul in Kubernetes

📅 2022-04-12

The GenevaJUG welcomes a 2-hour Workshop on Deploying Vault and Consul in Kubernetes with Vincent Sevel and Ludovic Bertin before presenting it at Devoxx France.

The presentation level is beginner and due to the nature of the event, the number of seats will be limited to 20! A laptop is required for the workshop.

The challenges of Kubernetes go far beyond the quiet framework of deploying stateless 12-factor applications. Through its versatility, Kubernetes is establishing itself as the universal deployment platform.

The exercise of integrating legacy technology into Kubernetes is interesting for 2 reasons:

The first is purely educational: you are forced to ask the right questions.

The second is pragmatic and utilitarian: integration offers an opportunity to reduce the footprint of custom integrations in the information system and at the same time brings all the advantages of Kubernetes in terms of manageability.

In this presentation, we’ll take the specific example of HashiCorp Vault & Consul technologies and show how they can integrate into a Kubernetes environment. We’ll evaluate several aspects such as stateful, exposure, high availability, security, and monitoring.

At the end of the exercise, we’ll have a production-ready solution, but above all, we’ll have gained experience and knowledge that will be useful to us as we continue on the path of Kubernetes adoption.
