Description
This hands-on workshop introduces Kubernetes deployment and orchestration from the ground up. Working in small groups, you will build lightweight Kubernetes clusters using Raspberry Pi hardware, progressing from initial cluster setup to deploying containerised applications and establishing cross-cluster communication. We will cover essential Kubernetes concepts and practical skills including cluster initialisation, pod management, deployments and basic observability. No prior Kubernetes experience is required, though familiarity with containers (Docker), SSH, and the Unix shell will be helpful. Participants will need to bring their own laptops to interact with the clusters. Target audience: Anyone interested in setting up a Kubernetes cluster on their own infrastructure, or getting experience interacting with such systems and container orchestration. [This workshop is delivered by the Cloud-Native SIG team and CAKE fellowship support]
