Kubernetes is fast becoming one of the leading platforms for running Cloud Native applications. There are many resources out there to get you started using Kubernetes, but what happens when you actually want to take things into production?

In this hands-on workshop we will cover the fundamental concepts and features of Kubernetes, and then move beyond this to setup a production ready Kubernetes cluster. We will cover the best practices as well as some common anti-patterns for deploying and running your applications on Kubernetes. Topics Covered:

• Basic Kubernetes concepts
• Readiness / Liveness Probes
• Advanced deployments (Canary, A/B, Blue/Green)
• Auto Scaling
• High Availability
• Monitoring
• RBAC
• Multi-master cluster

Who should attend: This workshop is for developers who are looking to learn (more) about Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is quickly becoming a commodity. Setting up a Highly Available cluster? Easy. Running large applications in a fault tolerant manner on top? No problem. As long as you fit the mould.
But what if your production environment is a closed internal network? Or it’s behind the Chinese firewall? What if you don’t host your own applications but instead deliver your software to clients? Can you still leverage Kubernetes in such cases? As adoption of Kubernetes continues to grow we see more use cases which do not fit the traditional model.
In this talk, I will share each of the above scenarios, the specific challenges we struggled with and, the solutions we ended up using. Finally, we’ll look at where Cloud Native technologies make sense and how far we can take them.
