Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2019

What is a pod, isn't that from some science fiction show? Daemons[ets]? C'mon, now we're going from Sci-fi to fantasy right? What does any of this even mean?

Kubernetes is not deep dark Voodoo, it's actually logical abstractions and each layer builds upon the last. Let's demystify Kubernetes and get up and running fast.

This session will introduce you to the fundementals of kubernetes, it's core concepts and give you the knowledge to know how to run containers on kubernetes in any provider.

Martyn Ranyard has been building Kubernetes clusters for over 3 years and will explain, using easy-to-understand building blocks all the core components of Kubernetes.

Once you have seen the basics, you will then be able to run an application and expose it to the network (in a few different ways), upgrade it, see the logs and scale it up and down.

For the lab work, a working laptop with kubectl installed (linux, osx or windows, amd64 architecture easiest) will be required.
