KWK8s

A Local, In Person Crash Course

Sign up here to learn the basics of the most popular container orchestration system fast.

We’ll take you from zero to dangerous in a single afternoon of hands-on instructor led training.

Instructor Led?

That’s right! You’ll learn from a human being, in the company of other human beings, in an actual classroom setting right here in Waterloo region!

• No screencasts!
• No zoom calls!
• No robots gushing about what great questions you ask!

Just a guy with a decade of Kubernetes experience who’s spent the last five years training hundreds of engineers to use cloud technology.

Note: I will be happy to gush about what great questions you ask upon request.

One Afteroon?

That’s right! Kubernetes is a deep rabbit hole but we won’t try to explore the whole thing - instead we will tackle the “learning cliff” to get you past the hardest part: getting started.

What We’ll Cover

• How to get started: what to do and what to avoid.
• The philosophy of K8s: we’ll start with why before we get to how.
• Architecture and terminology: what are the pieces and how do they fit together.
• Shipping apps: I just want to deploy something dammit!
• Plus:
  • Interrogating the system
  • Common failure modes
  • YAML … so much friggin YAML
