According to CNCF, 96% of the world's larger organizations are either using or evaluating Kubernetes. This is a trend you don’t want to miss! After our workshop, participants are able to understand the basics of Kubernetes and can deploy applications.
Kubernetes stands at the forefront of container orchestration technology, enabling efficient management and scaling of applications. By mastering Kubernetes, you can significantly improve deployment times, enhance system reliability, and ensure seamless scalability.
During this workshop you will:
- learn why applications are packaged into containers
- learn how these containers are deployed and maintained on Kubernetes
- learn how Kubernetes works under the hood
- gain experience with the Kubernetes CLI
- have lots of fun interacting with a real Kubernetes cluster
Additional slots might become available later on. Please use the waiting list!
