From Zero to Production in Kubernetes | Workshop Nov2023
Setting up your production Kubernetes environment brings many benefits, including scalability and portability for your applications. Before you reach production, It’s important to understand key Kubernetes concepts and architectures available to keep your clusters secure and scalable. Ingress controllers are vital parts of any Kubernetes platform, and NGINX ingress controller provides the best-in-class traffic management solution for cloud-native apps and containerized environments.
Using repeatable mechanisms to handle your ingress objects and controller deployments is important. Adopting infrastructure as code provides a mechanism to easily deploy production-ready applications in a repeatable manner. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to leverage the power of Python with Pulumi, an infrastructure as code platform to define and manage your Kubernetes deployments and build powerful abstractions that make getting to production easier than ever before.
