Technology Overview

Kubernetes is today’s most widely used platform for hosting Docker containers, supported by major players in the market (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) through the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Companies of all sizes use Kubernetes in production, from startups to enterprises.

How the Training Works

The training is a hands-on workshop — we will try everything out in practice. We will show how to run Kubernetes locally (for development) and on the DigitalOcean cloud platform. We will learn the basic Kubernetes architecture and go through its components. We will learn how to write Kubernetes manifests and deploy Docker applications using them. We will also cover how to work with permissions in Kubernetes and how to use (and write) Kubernetes packages with Helm.
