Containing Chaos with Kubernetes

Why Kubernetes

• Scenario: Many Dockerfiles and containers needed to power application (Frontend/services container and DB container)
• Splitting the containers down, as is best practice, to make them more ephemeral
• Many containers on same machine = single point of failure

Drupal 8, where did the code go? From info hook to plugin

• Namespaced classes like Drupal\search\Plugin\Block\SearchBlock

• Authorization
• Routing
