Kubernetes introduction workshop
For the next ~1h 30m we'll be looking at managing applications with Kubernetes.
This is a hands-on type of workshop. You are invited to follow along as the presenter goes through the prepared content.
Before we begin, please prepare your workstation:
- Open https://github.com/cbalan/k101
- Open https://www.katacoda.com/courses/kubernetes/playground and click "Start Scenario".
- On the master node, clone this repository. All code samples paths are relative to this repository root.
git clone https://github.com/cbalan/k101 && cd k101- Confirm that the cluster is ready using the following command:
kubectl cluster-infoAt any moment during the workshop, if you have any questions, please let the organizers know.
Agenda
- Kubernetes overview
- Deep dive into
- From Git to Kubernetes exercise
Workstation setup
All samples assume that the audience already has access to a kubernetes cluster.
To keep things simple, the following browser based Katacoda playground can be used: https://www.katacoda.com/courses/kubernetes/playground
Alternatively, the following tools can be used:
- Git
- Your favorite text editor
- Docker: https://www.docker.com
- Kind-0.7.0: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start
- Kubectl-1.17.0: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl
Terminology
Some of these may or may not be obvious:
- manifests - All Kubernetes api objects are defined via YAML format
- k8s, kube - shortcuts, references to the Kubernetes project
- kube control, kube C T L, "kube cuddle" - reference to kubectl command line
- SIG - Special Interest Group. Kubernetes SIG list available here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md
I'm done! What's next?
This workshop is barely scratching the surface. Please refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/ for advanced topics like security, storage, networking and cluster administration.
Check out how other projects are deployed on Kubernetes via helm charts. https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/
