Prerequisite knowledge

  • A basic understanding of containers and large stateful applications

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to move a monolithic enterprise app to running in a container in Kubernetes

Description

It’s no secret that modern containerized applications are winning the hearts and minds of developers around the world. There is however a lack of knowledge about solving migration into the new promised land of cloud-native computing.

Kris Nova tells the true and painful story of what it’s like to move a monolithic enterprise app to running in a container in Kubernetes. Kris then prototypes a production environment that is designed to be as hard as possible to containerize and liberates the application into a scalable and modern cloud-native environment, exploring problem spaces encountered along the way.
