Simulating Distributed Systems with David Morrison
Every once in a while you come across a project where you’re like “Oh, dang, wish I’d thought of that”. That’s the case with this week’s guest, David R. Morrison.
David is the founder of Applied Computing Research Labs (ACRL), and the creator of Simkube which allows you to record-and-replay Kubernetes simulations. Recently, he published an article in ACMQueue called "Simulation: An Underutilized Tool in Distributed Systems", which talks about simulation of distributed systems in general and his work with Simkube to analyze two Kubernetes autoscalers: KCA and Karpenter.
