Kubernetes Distilled - an in depth guide for the busy Java developer by Alberto Rios & Oliver Hughes

The Kubernetes hype train has reached full velocity and many organisations are now adopting the technology. The Kubernetes ecosystem can be very operator focussed and it can be a challenge for developers to distil the information that is relevant for their job. There are a large number of available tools aimed at solving a broad set of problems but it can be daunting choosing which to invest in. This deep dive sessions aims to provide developers with a thorough grounding on Kubernetes concepts, suggest best practices and get hands-on with some of the essential tooling. Topics will include Local development workflow Approaches for building images from source  Image Tagging Strategies Using profiles Deployment Remote build services Automated testing & Kubernetes Debugging apps on Kubernetes Provisioning a persistent data store with your application Packaging your service as a Cloud Native Application Bundle Health monitoring and management of running services Log aggregation TLS Termination  Integrating with Kubernetes security Externalised Configuration & Secrets Service to Service communication & discovery  Ingress Controllers Observability of applications Alberto Rios: Software Engineer interested in building products people love in agile environments with a focus on high-quality tests and clean code. At the moment, I am part of the Spring Engineering team at Pivotal working from Seville, Spain on a fully remote team. We are building Spring Cloud related products and frameworks to help people adopting a microservices architecture and improving the experience of Spring in Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. I like to focus on Reliability, Continuous Delivery, and Testing tasks and I mainly commit to Java Open Source projects.
