Microservices revolutionized the way we look at app development & is now one of the most popular programming architectures. Now, Docker alongside Kubernetes is changing the way teams look at deployments of these microservices. Kubernetes provides powerful production-grade orchestration for your "Dockerized" microservices.
In this workshop, you'll get an overview of Kubernetes, & what it provides for application development. You'll then go through the process of building & deploying a microservice application on Kubernetes.
This is a hands-on-keyboard lab, everyone should come with a laptop & a desire to learn!
Attendees can use minikube locally, or cloud accounts will be provided. We'll cover:
- Kubernetes basics Building Container Images
- Deploying the application with Kubernetes
- Upgrading & scaling the application with Kubernetes
- Debugging your application in Kubernetes
