Igniters,
Recently I’ve come across an interesting and promising solution that can greatly simplify and automate maintenance and scalability of an application - Kubernetes.
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
http://kubernetes.io <
http://kubernetes.io/>
In general, Apache Ignite perfectly fits the concepts implemented in Kubernetes which may greatly simplify and automate the maintenance and scaling of Apache Ignite clusters running under the supervision of Kubernetes.
Ignite won't be the first distributed storage that supports Kubernetes. There are already a number of existed ones that being used:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/examples/storage/cassandra <

https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/running-mongodb-as-a-microservice-with-docker-and-kubernetes>
I’ve prepared a number of tickets that incorporates the work to be done to make it possible to run Ignite under Kubernetes supervision.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4159 <

If you’re interested to contribute this to Apache Ignite please go ahead and take over the activity. If you have an experience with Kubernetes please don’t hesitate sharing your thoughts and adding extra tasks whenever is needed.
