Kubernetes: Technical Briefing with Labs - 2 Day

This offering is designed to provide you with an understanding of key concepts of Kubernetes and how best to use them in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). We present details about Kubernetes, including container management, networking services, persistent volumes and cluster organization. We discuss AKS integration with Azure service like Azure Container Registry, Log Analytics Workspace and Azure Key Vault. We also cover microservice development with Kubernetes and deploying those services to AKS using Azure DevOps
