Kubernetes Immersion

This is an introductory workshop to get started with Kubernetes. This assumes that you, the attendee, are fresh to this technology. This workshop begins with defining terms, deploying Kubernetes objects, tracking the health of your deployments, and exposing your application to the outside world. Our end goal is to have you deploy a full application on the internet.

We will begin by reviewing containers and why they are a good idea. Then we will transition into Kubernetes, what it is and when we want to use it. We will define the common tools you need to use Kubernetes. We show you how to access your Kubernetes cluster and how to deploy payloads onto your cluster. We then will dig into the common objects and the roles each object is responsible for. This workshop will also include strategies for what to do when things go wrong. Finally, we describe how to tie the whole thing securely using TLS termination, so you can get started with deploying your scalable, fault-tolerant, production application.
