Getting Started with Kubernetes in Azure

Kubernetes is one of the fastest growing software platforms in the modern age of computing. Along with the power and capabilities comes a steep startup curve to getting a fully functional and production-ready cluster up and running. Many of the common cloud providers deliver an easier way to get to this spot, and Azure is one of the leaders in this distributed computing space.

Join Thomas as he dives into getting started with Kubernetes in Azure. Everything from cluster creation and management, to security, all the way to logging and storage and everything in between. At the end of this session you will walk away with a better understanding of how to run Kubernetes in Azure.

Using Open Service Mesh to Secure, Manage, and Observe Your Cloud Native Applications

As applications are being built on modern platforms like the cloud and Kubernetes, we need to continue to answer the important questions: Who can access what? How is the system performing? How can we deploy new applications with minimized user impact? Service meshes can answer these questions and bring important benefits to the software ecosystem.

Follow along as Thomas introduces Open Service Mesh, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project. Learn how you can implement additional security measures with a no-application-change approach. Also accomplish complicated and critical operations like canary rollouts with traffic shifting strategies. Discover additional insights to your applications with advanced observability through your service mesh, and more!

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) CI/CD with GitHub

The modern software world that we live in is powerful and fast. But it is also filled with a lot of complex machines that can be difficult to understand and work with. We mix the cloud and distributed computing, all while ensuring that we are shipping code fast and reliably.

Join Thomas as he demystifies creating and using a CI/CD pipeline in GitHub to deploy both infrastructure and software to an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster. In this session you will learn how to utilize Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to define and create the Kubernetes cluster. You will also learn how to use GitHub Actions to access and deploy software to your AKS cluster. Thomas will also talk about some of the surrounding considerations, with a focus on security for this solution.
