Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of Docker and Kubernetes

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to more easily test code in production while isolating the effect of potential issues using container orchestration and services meshes

Description

Working with complex systems means that even well-written code can behave in unexpected ways, leading to outages and critical issues. Kubernetes allows you to easily roll out new code and quickly revert to safe, stable releases when issues are identified. But often the damage done in the short period between deploy and rollback is significant.

Jason Yee shows you how to limit the effect of unforeseen issues using canary deploys with Istio. He also discusses ways to better monitor your applications in Kubernetes to help you spot potential problems before they affect your entire customer base.
