Day 1

Getting a cluster

You will be provided with different options to get a cluster in order to participate in all Kubernetes practice labs
Every participant will have the option to use a web based workshop cluster which is especially suitable for participants with enterprise managed notebooks
A local cluster with minikube or Docker Desktop is a good way for revisiting the workshop labs later on
We will also look into various tools that make working with Kubernetes easier

Accessing your cluster

Security is important, so no cluster can be accessed without authentication and authorization
How that is implemented in Kubernetes lays a good foundation to handle multiple clusters in parallel

Building application images

Kubernetes uses container images to provide workload for the cluster
You will build your own images using Docker and Dockerfiles
We will use these images in the cluster later on to show various important operational aspects
Images are distributed using container registries

Fundamental Kubernetes concepts

We will understand how Kubernetes is organized using namespaces
Our first workload will be a simple pod to avoid unnecessary complexity
Important elements of the architecture of Kubernetes like etcd, controller manager, scheduler, api server and kubelet will be visited in detail
We will learn how to interact with network applications inside Kubernes
… and how to access them from outside the cluster
For diagnosis we will run interactive containers inside the cluster

Running your applications

Now it is time to run our own applications which is a good opportunity to quickly revisit the basics
We use the container image we built earlier and even scale it to multiple relicas which leads to the concept of replica sets
Using healthcheck probes we will ensure that our customers will only reach healthy instances

Using Kubernetes resources

Kubernetes is API centric and with our freshly acquired understanding of the architecture and building blocks we are well prepared to dive into the Kubernetes API in more detail
You will learn how to manage the configuration of your application using YAML manifests and how to work with them

Day 2

Ingress

Many APIs and web applications are based on the HTTP protocol. With the Kubernetes ingress concept you will manage the access efficiently
With these elements we look into running more complex applications or microbased services

Volumes and configuration

Kubernetes provides various ways to handle configuration and secret data
We will work with config maps, secrets and how they can be used for pods

Deployments

One concept with high abstraction level is the Kubernetes Deployment
We will use it to manage multiple versions of our application and to roll out updates without any downtime

Persistence

We need to persist our state outside of a pod to preserve it in case of planned updates or even failures
We will lean how persistent volumes and persistent volume claims work
With storage classes we can provide different kinds of storage in a well defined manner
