OSMC 2022 | That’s nuts! A proof of concept of Icinga2 on Kubernetes using Acorn

von Katja Kotschenreuther | Aug 12, 2023 | OSMC

OSMC 2022 has brought lots of insightful open source expert know-how. In this blog series we will together take a glance back into our archives and pick out some of our highly appreciated speaker talks. Today we continue with Daniel’s Ignite talk “That’s nuts! A proof of concept of Icinga2 on Kubernetes using Acorn ”.

That’s what it’s all about

Icinga2 with its many moving parts, credentials for database, API, and other features, and layered topology can be considered a pretty complex system. When deploying to Kubernetes, it might in fact prove overwhelming when transitioning from ‘traditional’ setups.

In his Ignite Talk, Daniel will show you typical Icinga2 setups you might encounter in the wilds and how we can deploy them to Kubernetes clusters using acorn, a new deployment application framework for Kubernetes aimed at simplicity and developer experience. He will show you acorn’s basic idea(s), how it is configured and used in production, and where its shortcomings as of today might lie while going through the process of deploying a full-blown Icinga2 setup to a Kubernetes cluster.

Get inspired by his Talk

You like his content and want event more? Reason enough to join the next edition of the event. OSMC 2023 takes place from November 7 – 9, 2023 in Nuremberg.

Our Call for Papers is open until August 15! Submit your talk idea and join us as a speaker!

Mark your calendars! We’re looking forward to meeting you there!
