Why this workshop?
This workshop is important because it will give you all the knowledge necessary to start deploying your applications on Kubernetes in a production-ready manner.
Why attend this workshop
Kubernetes has become the de-facto platform for orchestrating containers.
Since Docker containers have become a thing, more and more developers have started adopting them for easier application development.
By standardizing environments, they have been able to push code faster to production and deliver features to end users with great agility.
However, running containers in production still had lots of manual labor involved in making decisions about where to schedule the applications.
Kubernetes addressed these problems by treating servers as cattle instead of pets, so applications have become first-class citizens, instead of servers.
This has brought many advantages to infrastructure platforms, such as: scalability, fault tolerance and developer productivity
Who is it for?
ideal for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone else who is interested in learning how to deploy their applications on Kubernetes in a production-ready manner
What will you learn?

provision a Kubernetes cluster from scratch and learn how to scale, backup, restore, and troubleshoot a live cluster
launch an application on Kubernetes, debug, and troubleshoot it as a developer or Kubernetes operator
deploy apps by creating manifest files, standardizing app deployment using Helm Charts, and publicly exposing applications
build an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline using the Argo toolset
monitor your Kubernetes cluster and applications to ensure they are running smoothly
