Johnathan Johnson: Kubernetes from a Developer's Perspective

You have some modular code with a REST API. You are on your way to Microservices. Next, you package it in a container image that others can run. Simple. Now what? Y

our service needs to log information, needs to scale, and load balance between its clones. Your service needs environment and metadata way outside its context. What about where the service will run? Who starts it? What monitors its health? What about antifragility? Updates? Networking? Oh my.

Don't get flustered. We will explore how Kubernetes simplifies the complexity of distributed computing. This session will help you understand the terms, architecture, and the mechanics of the Kubernetes tools. You will understand how to target your applications to a seemingly complex distributed compute platform. We will walk through a live hands-on example and you will have more examples to try later to further your comfort level.

About Johnathan Johnson

I teach many topics to help transform your ideas into applications for your customers. Cloud-native has become an excellent delivery channel for your products and features. The ecosystem is large and the path is not always easy. It’s not just polyglot, it’s distributed. It’s expensive. It’s complex.

Throughout my presentations, workshops, writings, and hand-on tutorials these topics are demystified. Sometimes an architecture, a technical stack, or a tool may appear too complex. I love taking these opportunities to break down seemingly complex software mechanisms to show how they work so they can be added to your professional toolbox. When you get to that ah-ha! moment, you feed my passion to teach more.
