Workshop Lab README

This folder contains setup instructions to set up ahead of my microservices workshop labs. If you are just looking to learn how to set up an environment on any of the below platforms, you can also feel free to follow these setup steps but the labs themselves are only shared with attendees.

NEXT WORKSHOP: DEVintersection, May 2017, Orlando FL

My Session List

There are 4 different versions of the same lab. You have to choose a platform to focus on for the workshop since you clearly can't do all of them :) The idea is to give you a choice of platform you are most interested in during the class period but you may optionally do the rest later.

Choose your platform for the workshop lab

You should follow the setup steps in this folder to set up your environment. When the workshop is fully hands-on you want to do this BEFORE the workshop. Sometimes the labs are used for your own time given the content that needs to be covered.

You will choose from the following environments:

  • Azure Container Service with DC / OS
  • AWS with EC2 Container Services
  • Google Cloud with Google Container Engine
  • Azure Service Fabric

Prerequisite setup steps

You must have the setup steps in this folder completed before the lab period if you want to be productive during lab time.

Also, during the lab period, you will be given access to the actual lab instructions to follow. You must follow the steps EXACTLY as written to avoid running into issues during lab time.

Lab goals

When you get to the workshop.

A document describing the steps for each lab will be provided. You will be given some time to do work in the workshop but also to continue offline at your own pace.

The goal is to show similar deployments of a simple web app / api to a container platform whereby we go through the following:

  1. Create and run the app
  2. Dockerize the app and test locally
  3. Deploy the application to a container platform
  4. Work with load balancing, service discovery
  5. Work with load testing, monitoring, scale out
