Astoria Tech Workshop: Kubernetes 101

IMPORTANT: This workshop requires a basic understanding of programming, the terminal, and Docker.

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications to a cluster of servers. It helps ensure efficient resource utilization and application availability.

We will go over what Kubernetes is, why so it's useful, and teach you the basics on how to use it.

Everyone will learn:

• the core concepts behind Kubernetes
• how to use `minikube` to create a local Kubernetes cluster
• how to use `kubectl` to deploy a an application to Kubernetes

Attendees should:

• Bring their own laptop
• Install `minikube` and `kubectl` ahead of time (we can help!)
• (because seats are limited) attend the whole workshop
