Speaker: Brent Laster - Global trainer, presenter, and author of the books Professional Git and Jenkins 2: Up and Running: Evolve Your Deployment Pipeline for Next Generation Automation. In his day job, he is a Director of software development in SAS’s Research and Development Division, based in Cary, North Carolina, where he manages several groups involved with cloud technology development, security, SaaS, and internal tooling.

Description:
In this workshop, students will get a quick overview of what containers are and why they form the basis for many of the key technologies that we use today in cloud environments.

We’ll explore what makes up a container and how they are managed and leveraged in key industry tooling including Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and Istio. You’ll also learn the basics of these technologies, what they are used for, and see some simple examples of how to use them.

This workshop will include hands-on labs where you will get experience:

-Building container images, running them as containers, and tagging and pushing them into a Docker repository.
-Creating deployments, services, and pods for containers and instantiating and running those in Kubernetes.
-Working with Helm to leverage templates for Kubernetes objects and managing releases in Kubernetes.
-Working with Istio to do traffic shaping between multiple versions of your app, fault and delay injection for testing and validation in Kubernetes.
We’ll also briefly cover GitOps – the recommend Git-based way to manage infrastructure like your Kubernetes cluster.

Students attending this workshop will need to prepare with the following requirements:

-A modern laptop with at least 8G of memory and 15G of free space
-An installed version of the VirtualBox application from http://www.virtualbox.org
-A downloaded copy of the virtual machine image (.ova) file
-The setup doc for the workshop
