Converting service fabric actors to kubernetes

12/10/2019

I'm investigating converting my service fabric application to kubernetes. One area I'm struggling with, is what the equivalent of service fabric actors is in kubernetes? I mainly use reminder actors in the application, is there an equivalent in kubernetes?

To use actor programming model on k8s you should use the combination of actor framework (orleans or akka.net) and k8s stateful sets.

Have a look at dapr runtime. It is heavily influenced by Microsoft's learning of Service Fabric Reliable Services/Actors and runs on top of Kubernetes (and others).

Take into account that it is still in development and not yet released for production scenarios.
