Develop Cloud Native applications with Kubernetes: Patterns and Best practices

Einleitung

Nowdays the majority of developers are building containerized apps for Kubernetes. Most of the time YAML manifests are just copied from other repositories or online resources without fully  understanding all implications.

The idea of this workshop is to learn Patterns and Best practices for building those applications and deploying them in a scalable and resilient way to Kubernetes.

Cloud Native Design Patterns will be highlighted in a theoretical way and tested also with practical exercises.

Programm

The workshop will begin with a theoretical introduction of Cloud Native apps and Microservices.

We will continue talking about the four types of patterns:

• Foundational Patterns
• Configuration Patterns
• Structural Patterns
• Behavorial Patterns

Most of these patterns will be tested also with practical exercises.

We will finish with two advanced patterns:

• GitOps
• Operators
