Kubernetes on Azure 2-Day Workshop

Kubernetes is quickly becoming the container orchestration platform of choice for organizations deploying applications into the cloud. Ramp up your development and operations team members with this “hands-on”, deeply technical bootcamp.

The Bootcamp Agenda:

Day 1 Outline

• Kubernetes Architecture
• Setting up your environment.
• The Todo list microservices application overview
• Pods - the unit of deployment in K8S
• Services - How do pods find each other?
• Deployments - enable you to perform rolling upgrades, rollback, and scale up/scale down your services.
• Storage - Volumes, Persistent Volumes, Persistence Volume Claims, Storage Classes.
• ConfigMaps - ConfigMaps enable you to define a configuration that is accessible as environment variables, files in a volume or command line arguments.
• Daemonsets - Running pods that need to run on all or some nodes continuously e.g. for log aggregation.
• Jobs - Deploying jobs on K8S.
• Introduction to Helm - Package manager for K8S deployment.

Day 2 Outline

• Statefulsets - Using statefulsets to deploy services that require role differentiation across the cluster. For example, mysql database with master and slave.
• Advanced Scheduling - Controlling how your pods are scheduled to the nodes.
• Ingress - Customizing the routing of published services.
• RBAC - Role Based Access Control - Controlling access to your K8S cluster.
• Monitoring and Log Aggregation.
• Cluster Administration - Key cluster administration considerations.
• Advanced Secrets Management - Integrating Hashicorp Vault to support "zero-trust" deployments.
• Extending K8S - We will create our own K8S resource type and implement a custom controller using the "Operator" pattern.
• A brief overview of other K8S tools and projects.

This is a core outline but can be customized based on experience level of the audience.

The bootcamp is $1,995 per person with a minimum of 5 participants.
