Dr. Harald Müller und Ludwig Mittermeier von Siemens halten in der Ringvorlesung des Elitestudiengangs Software Engineering einen Gastvortrag zum Thema "Network-aware scheduling using Kubernetes". Alle sind herzlich eingeladen.

Abstract:

Containerization and microservices are state of the art in today’s Enterprise IT. In this area, Kubernetes has become the de-facto standard for orchestrating tens up to thousands of containers in cloud-based or private datacenters. More and more, these architectural paradigms become also relevant for industrial systems in on-premise, edge, and mixed cloud/edge environments. While Kubernetes can be considered as the most enhanced orchestration platform providing many extension points, it fails to fulfill some important requirements of industrial applications. This talk will introduce the vision of seamless computing in cloud-to-edge environments, present a generic model for realization, and focus on the important network-awareness aspect. Further insights will be given on a Kubernetes-based implementation, which is carried out in a publicly-funded project.

Speaker: Dr. Harald Müller

Harald Mueller joined Siemens in 1996 as a system architect for VoIP products. Over the years, he has worked in several Siemens businesses including Communication Networks, IT Solutions and Services, and Smart Grid. He joined Siemens Technology eight years ago, where he is a Principal Key Expert for Decentralized and Federated Architectures. In the last few years, a major part of his work in research and technology transfer projects is in cloud computing and container orchestration for industrial systems in cloud-to-edge environments.

Speaker: Ludwig Andreas Mittermeier

Ludwig joined Siemens in 2001 as software developer and implemented Java projects on mobile phones in the first years. He gained experiences in projects with many Siemens business units and was a forerunner for cloud computing in Siemens. Meanwhile he is certified software architect and senior key expert for software container orchestration & cloud/edge native systems. In that role he actively supports the digitalization and innovation of the Siemens product portfolio.
