The Cloud Is Lying To You - What It Really Takes To Run On-Prem

Discover the harsh realities of transitioning from cloud-native environments to on-premises infrastructure in this 35-minute conference talk from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Explore the significant challenges that arise when cloud-spoiled engineers must rebuild Kubernetes infrastructure in air-gapped, restricted environments without access to managed services, infinite scalability, or auto-healing clusters. Learn from real-world experience as the speaker breaks down the manual processes required to replicate cloud conveniences from scratch, including implementing object storage solutions, developing backup strategies, ensuring high availability, managing deployment scalability, and establishing comprehensive monitoring systems. Understand the brutal wake-up call that comes with on-premises deployments and gain insights into what lies beneath the surface of cloud-native stacks. Examine the practical implications of compliance constraints and cost-driven on-premises mandates while discovering the hidden complexities that cloud services typically abstract away. Prepare to fundamentally change your perspective on cloud infrastructure and gain valuable knowledge for anyone facing similar transitions or curious about the underlying mechanics of cloud-native technologies.
