Kubernetes Bootcamp for application developers – Intermediate level

Einleitung

Kubernetes is becoming the de-facto standard in order to run and manage applications at scale.
It was designed to run stateless applications abstracting the underlying infrastructure and automate all operational tasks. Nowadays, it is used to run almost every type of application, including stateful workloads.

Its huge success can be attributed the fact that it allows applications to be highly available, fault tolerant and scalable. Moreover it allows to design applications abstracting the underlying provider, no matter whether on public cloud or on premise, offering a nice model to be extended.

This workshop aims to introduce and practice intermediate Kubernetes concepts in order to develop and deploy applications. Participants can expect to refresh the most important concepts and go deeper into more advanced ones related to the CKAD certification. The workshop can be also a good preparation for the official CKAD certification.

In order to simplify the setup, we will be using Google’s GKE and either a Virtual Machine in the cloud or a dev environment like GitPod, therefore no local setup will be needed, reducing problems due to different environments.
