Do You Dare to Run Icinga2 in Kubernetes?
Some people claim that you can run almost anything in Kubernetes, others say you shouldn’t use it for anything stateful in production. As always the truth lies probably somewhere in the middle… but is it a good idea to run Icinga2 in a Kubernetes cluster? Let’s find out by doing exactly that. In just 30 minutes we can’t go from zero to production ready but we can get to a proof of concept that allows us to see what’s different to a more “traditional” Icinga2 setup. Let’s see what goes wrong along the way and find out what our options are to solve those issues. Do we end up with something you dare to run in production?
