Kubernetes on Azure Hands On!

We're bringing this meetup to our community in partnership with VMware Code (https://code.vmware.com/home), and Nirmata (https://nirmata.com).

This meetup will be an extreme hands-on session, where you will setup a new Kubernetes (K8s) cluster and learn how to deploy and manage microservices-style applications!

No prior knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, or containers is required. However, you will need an adequate laptop with wireless access. We will use Microsoft Azure to host the K8s cluster and Nirmata to deploy and manage K8s applications so be ready to sign up for trial accounts for both services (we will walk you through the steps).

Please do not signup if you are only interested in a presentation-style session - we will organize more of those in the future. This session is reserved for developers and/or operations engineers looking to use Kubernetes and in need of a jump start!
