This is a workshop where attendees will learn about Cloud Native Computing concepts, the benefits of containers, and container orchestration with Kubernetes. There will be slides, whiteboarding, and two hands-on exercises as part of the workshop.

Takeaways

• Understand CNCF principles and what benefit they have
• Know the benefit of containers and design patterns they enable
• Be able to containerize an application by writing a Dockerfile and running it
• Know the benefits, user principals, and overall architecture of Kubernetes
• Deploy a containerized application into Kubernetes
• Know the operational and development benefits that can be gained by using Kubernetes

Prerequisites

Cloud Native Computing is changing the way developers work. Some really tough problems have been solved for building and deploying applications, which has made developers radically more productive. There is another critical advantage associated with the portability and open source DNA of technologies like Kubernetes: they provide a buffer between the infrastructure and the developer. While this offers tremendous flexibility around where applications can run, it also – as with any open source technology - brings the risk of balkanization and fragmentation, either with software distributions, or in hosted cloud provider managed services.

During this session Craig McLuckie (one of the Kubernetes founders) will talk about how to maintain flexibility, stay close to the upstream open source communities and avoid vendor lock-in. He will explore the role that software conformance efforts and tools play, how to get closer to the communities that power open source technologies, and how to be pragmatic about dependencies when designing systems. McLuckie will cover not only what exists today, but also look at some of the key things that still need to be done to create an open and vendor neutral world for developers and IT professionals.

Open to all attendees and exhibitors.
