3. Expert Q and A

This Kubernetes training class is for engineering teams, leaders, and technology stakeholders who need to help their organization take the next step in orchestrating and managing containers and the services they support. The workshop is of particular benefit to:

• Application Developers
• Operations Developers
• IT Directors & Managers
• Development Managers
• Site Reliability Engineers
• Teams practicing DevOps
• CTOs

• Enable the ability to use the same APIs for all your private and public data centers.
• Use Kubernetes as a tool to offer “container-as-a-service” capabilities to their teams.
• Automate many traditional operational tasks such as Load Balancing, High Availability, Resource utilization, etc.
• Empower both operational and development organizations to synchronize service delivery and common application outcomes.
• Use Kubernetes to support multi-tenancy and a multi-datacenter control place as an alpha feature.
• Leverage the same open-source Kubernetes technology that has been adopted by Walmart, Pokemon Go, eBay, Red Hat's Openshift, and other high profile early adopters.
• Deliver software and IT services as smaller, faster, and more adaptive components of your overall architecture.
• Take major steps towards implementing microservices in a pragmatic, real-world fashion.
