Join us at 7pm on June 29th, 2017, to hear Ruben Orduz (@rdodev) give a thorough introduction to containers and Kubernetes.

Event link: http://meetu.ps/3bf08n

Containers have more or less taken over the world of application, web APIs, mobile endpoints and other forms of deployment. They have become the currency, the “table stakes” and de-facto application deployment unit. Their raise to the fore has brought about a whole host of use cases which weren’t practical or accessible in the world of “classic” paradigms of infrastructure and virtualization. Containers have also brought application deployment closer and more accessible to developers.

But as more use cases, deployment styles and exponential adoption of containers was ongoing, a new set of problems began to surface: how do you manage the ever growing number of containers in a deployment? How do you make sure containers have the right resources, deployed to the right machine, running with the correct parameters, how do you scale in and out without disruption? How do you make sure in a fleet of X containers that they’re all running and in healthy state? Enter Kubernetes.

Ruben has been in the software industry over a decade working through all aspects of application and systems engineering. Back-end to front-end and everything in between. He has spent roughly the last half of those years tirelessly working on improving user experiences on different products and services. He currently works as a Solutions Engineer specializing on Kubernetes.

This event is generously hosted by Starter Space, a community for creators, artists, and entrepreneurs. Check them out at starterspace.com.
