Agile

Presenter: 
Jake Sanders, Operations Engineer, LiveWyre

With the breathtaking pace of Kubernetes development and prominent presence in tech news it’s easy to forget that this prolifiic containerisation technology only hit v1 in 2015. Despite a number of very prominent examples showcasing the power and efficiency of Kubernetes there still remains a lot of confusion over how and why to use this exciting container orchestration technology. The Joy of Kubernetes is a basic level workshop designed to showcase the benefits of Kubernetes and will enable attendees to understand the basics needed to setup their own cluster.

The scope of this workshop will be broad and will suit anybody working in a DevOps environment that wants to learn more about how and why to implement Kubernetes in their organisation. Through a mixture of presentations, demos and hands-on examples, workshop attendees will:

♦ Understand why containers are useful, but have limitations. 
♦ Learn how to solve some these limitations with Kubernetes Pods. 
♦ Know why the world’s biggest companies are powered by schedulers and containers. 
♦ Have a basic core understanding of how to use Kubernetes.

As an operations Engineer Jake Sanders has been immersed in containerised infrastructure from a period before the release of Docker.

With 3 years of Kubernetes usage under his belt, he used the skills and knowledge gained to contribute to the project. With the recent launch of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation Certification Program, he was happy to become one of the first Certified Kubernetes Administrators.

While working for LiveWyer Jake has successfully contributed towards and delivered a number of large Enterprise solutions in various sectors. As well as implementing high quality solutions Jake has helped to develop and deliver training packages for DevOps teams who are looking to engage with Kubernetes.
