There are several key techniques to understand while using Kubernetes with Java EE, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile applications. Examples include:

* How Kubernetes primitives (such as deployments and services) align with application server administration, clustering, auto-discovery, and load-balancing.
* How to add self-healing capabilities using Kubernetes probes and monitoring with open source tools like Prometheus/Grafana.
* How the CI/CD pipeline of your application can be adapted to Kubernetes.
* How Kubernetes can be extended using Operators to effectively manage application server clusters.

This workshop walks through each of these considerations in turn. At the end of the workshop, you will have all the materials on GitHub so you can explore on your own.
