Kubernetes: From Laptop to Production
Instructor: Steve Ovens, RedHat Inc.
Overview
Vanilla Kubernetes can be intimidating. Everyone talks about its near mystical powers, but no one really talks about the work involved to setup a well run cluster. This hands-on course will provide an introduction to K8S, that can be run on your laptop. We’ll walk through setting it up and some of the tasks you might want to consider implementing. In the afternoon, we will get some experience with OpenShift which is Red Hat’s Kubernetes distribution. We’ll compare and contrast using an opinionated Kubernetes distribution versus a vanilla Kubernetes installation and give you some food for thought as you are making the decision of which flavor to invest in.
