How A China-Based Bare Metal Provider Solved a Problem with Open Source

Kubernetes continues to spread across the cloud and to on premise and bare metal server environments — and with the wider scale adoption often comes growing pains. Specific to bare metal, for example, Kubernetes platforms lack viable load balancing capabilities. Beijing Yunify Technology, a China-based bare metal service provider, says it has solved the issue, with the development of open source  Porter designed to solve the issue of load balancing on bare metal in production on Kubernetes, During this The New Stack Makers podcast recorded live at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Open Source Summit China 2019 in Shanghai, Xuetao Song, senior software engineer at Beijing Yunify Technology, described in more detail about how Porter offers load balancing capabilities for Kubernetes, while also touching on other container-related themes.
