Description
This talk explores how to achieve cloud-native speeds in recovering from regional failures. It introduces k8gb, a CNCF sandbox project, as an open-source, cloud-native global load balancing solution for Kubernetes. The presentation covers its design principles, integration methods, and load balancing strategies, demonstrating how it ensures applications remain globally highly available even during regional outages. The session features insights from the project's creator and a cloud architect using k8gb in a production environment, highlighting its adoption by financial institutions.
