Introduction to Containers and Kubernetes
Build container images with Docker and run them in your own Kubernetes cluster, in one day.
This workshop is an introduction to containers and Kubernetes from a developer’s point of view. You build and publish container images with Docker, and then run your application in Kubernetes, the open-source system that deploys, scales and manages containerized applications.
The workshop mixes presentations, live demonstrations and guided hands-on exercises. Every participant works in their own cluster in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), so you practise on a real setup.
