Kubernetes is one of the open source projects with higher activity. Per https://kubernetes.io, “Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.”

This session will be an introduction to Kubernetes for newbies. No background knowledge is required. It will use screenshots, diagrams, and recorded clips to explain concepts.

We will first compare a simple infrastructure of a Drupal site and then its equivalent using Kubernetes. Then we will discover how such infrastructure is defined, implemented, deployed, and monitored.

It is possible to use Kubernetes for local development, remote development, and even for Continuous Integration. We will see a few examples of these and how they differ from well established implementations.

We will wrap up with tips on how to host a Drupal project using Kubernetes, either by setting it up manually or via a hosting platform that abstracts most of the complexity.
