Spend a day learning about container technology from the ground up. Starting with Windows and Docker Container Fundamentals, moving to Kubernetes Concepts, then Kubernetes tools for managing multi-cluster, multi-cloud environments.

While not a hands-on, attendees are encouraged to follow along. A prerequisites document will be send out ahead of time for laptop setup to ease those who wish to follow along.

The recent release of AKS, the newest version of managed Kubernetes services for Microsoft Azure, allows developers to quickly realize the benefits of open source Kubernetes without the complexity and operational overhead of getting it up and running. In this presentation we will explore Kubernetes fundamentals and demonstrate standing up a Kubernetes Cluster from within the Azure Portal and from the CLI.

Sold OutThe recent release of AKS, the newest version of managed Kubernetes services for Microsoft Azure, allows developers to quickly realize the benefits of open source Kubernetes without the complexity and operational overhead of getting it up and running. In this presentation you will learn:

* A quick history lesson on containers and the Docker engine.
* Kubernetes and Docker fundamentals.
* To author Docker containers from source code.
* Standing up a Kubernetes Cluster from within the Azure Portal and from the CLI. We’ll look at both Windows Server Containers and Linux-Based Docker Containers.
* Navigating the Kubernetes UI
* Deploying and scaling applications within your cluster.
* Managing configuration and secrets within your cluster.
* A few bonus topics as time permits.

You’ll need a laptop running Windows 10, Docker for Windows installed and an Azure Account. Microsoft is currently offering $200 of Azure credit for free, find out more here. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/

The recent release of AKS, the newest version of managed Kubernetes services for Microsoft Azure, allows developers to quickly realize the benefits of open source Kubernetes without the complexity and operational overhead of getting it up and running. In this presentation we will go from 0 to running application with AKS. We will also explore Container and Kubernetes fundamentals and take advantage of tools to get developers code to production faster.

Learn the basics to getting started with Kubernetes on Azure Container Service. Get setup and ready to run, with some links to learn more!

Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 (starting with Anniversary Edition) feature containers built into their operating systems. In this session you’ll learn how to get started with Docker. You’ll also learn about Windows Containers, use cases for containers in your development pipeline, and practices to help you get the most out of Docker moving forward.

Docker in a Day, Hands-On!

Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 (starting with Anniversary Edition) feature containers built into their operating systems. In this class we’ll learn how to take advantage of this technology from development to production. Featuring a combination of lecture, demo and hands-on exercise, we will have fun harnessing Docker, related tools, and clustering orchestration systems. We will also setup Docker, and construct our first cluster.

We will cover Docker Engine, Compose and Swarm. We will also explore non-Docker orchestration options like (but not limited to) Mesosphere DC/OS and Kubernetes.

A Wifi-capable laptop running Windows, Linux or Mac OSX is recommended for this class (I may bring a couple spares). Exercises will be developed in an OS agnostic fashion.

Cloud native is not just for Linux anymore. Windows Server 2016 brings native support for Windows Server Containers. This will make Windows a viable option for hosting your cloud application infrastructure. Jason joins us to talk about Windows Server Containers and using the Kubernetes project to deploy and orchestrate them.

From Microsoft:
“Azure Functions is a serverless event driven experience that extends the existing Azure App Service platform. These nano-services can scale based on demand and you pay only for the resources you consume.”

NoOps has enabled companies like SnapChat, Instagram, and Whatsapp to grow rapidly serving user bases in the hundreds of millions while keeping operations organization overhead at a fraction of what it was just a decade ago.

Come to an introduction of serverless architectures, while exploring the first steps to harnessing this emerging pattern with Microsoft Azure Functions.

Many development shops have invested significant resources into establishing a continuous integration model for the release of their products. This allows them to build higher quality applications, ensuring product quality and business requirements correctness, while avoiding feature and quality regression.

Private Cloud and Platform as a Service will transform the way software developers work. The promise is to enable them to build and maintain world-class applications faster, using today’s skill-sets & investments. So how do the two go hand in hand?

In this talk we will
• Introduce the Developer to Private Cloud, using the Apprenda Platform as an example.
• Introduce the Developer to Continuous Integration Practices
• Introduce the Developer to Selenium
• Demo a working CI environment highlighting architectural considerations, actual unit tests, integration tests in nUnit and UI tests in selenium.
