September 25, 2025 (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) (NDT)
Description
Like the term "container" the term "Kubernetes" is being used all over the place. What is this mystical complex tool that the tech industry has embraced? And why is it such an important tool for containers? This talk will walk you through from the base building block of a container, to a fully realized Kubernetes cluster. We will explore how a cluster operates, thinks and acts upon events that happen inside of it.
